It's a very short one trick pony game like Goat Simulator. It's good for a few hours if you're interested by purposefully bad animations.
You impregnate 5 generations of Heroines (out of 3 playable suitors every Generation and the other two become your concubines or so ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ I dunno never understood the "chose 1 of the 3 wives and then die, but the other two will also be unavailable in the next generation" thingie)Its some weird evil genetic eugenic simulator where you choose you wife and the next main charackter in the next generation is you son with the stats influenced from the choosen wife. that happens 5 times. So you can "breed" your playstile charackter (mage, fighter support etc.)
Oh and its a grid based tactical RPG with tons of playable party members (bummer is, that your 3 suitors and you maincharackter disappear after every generation, but you can buy Homunculi that have the same stats, look etc,. but they have no impact on story)
Story is ok, so buy it.
way I see it Octodad is Goat Simulator with a premise and actual writing. game lives on that idea that no one can tell he's an Octopus. Feels like a cartoon.
and they seem to hit it with the humor
I played the super early prototype YEARS ago. nice to finally have the released game

So I never played through the first The Witcher. I played it for maybe a couple hours but honestly don't remember any of it. Do I need to play through it for the 2nd to make sense? Thinking of picking it up as it's on sale and reading the negative reviews of it, they seem to all be about the Linux version being crap which I don't have. Price is good... is the game?

Euro Truck Simulator 2 for $3.74 is tempting, but does the game become frustrating at any point? Also, How does the saving work; can you save & quit during a delivery?
weren't all of them (or most) on sale already on gmg and amazon this year?
Very short (3/4 hours) but AWESOME in 4 players coop with friends (everyone use 1 different tentacle of the same character)

Well, I'm sold on getting Argarest 0 to go along with my newest purchase.

I feel you're selling the game wrong, while the controls are bad and there are some funny animations, I'd argue there's more to Octodad than just that, and I'd argue the audience who'd enjoy Goat simulator and Octodad are very different, as they have very different appeals.
Octodad more comes from mastering purposely complex and awkward controls to complete tasks and overcome obstacles, all to a surprisingly heartwarming story. Goat Simulator is do-what-you-want wonky physics silliness in a similar vein design-wise to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Have you tried out the demo yet?
The first game is barely referenced in TW2, if you are at least a bit familiar with the characters, you will understand it just fine. And yes, 80% off is a great price.

Oh thanks for reminding me about goat simulator
I'll wait for that then
I'll wait for that then
octodad is better, goat simulator is the one that's a one-off joke
There's a discount on them like every other week. I've seen most of them for 5, I'm sure they'll be discounted on Steam as well during this sale.

They are good.

So if you like offbeat, unique games with purposely terrible controls, oceanic life, strange family chores, and being a real human dad who is not an octopus, you guys should get Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
LOL.

%70 off on Agarest, do you think we'll see better?

I'd say yes.
Not this sale. Take it now or wait until the next one.

Yeah but at least the latter is a one-off open sandbox thingie.
Voted for the racer category.
I already have it, but Assetto Corsa for £15 is a crazy bargain so I voted for that in the hopes more people will check it out.
It does help in some things, but you should be able to understand everything in TW2 without playing the first one.
I love The Witcher 1 and I would recommend it to anyone at this price, though.
It's a flash sale, if it does end up being a daily or community vote it will have the same discount.

Not this sale at least. The price on the dailies/flash sales/community votes are always the same. And the next big sale won't be until Halloween.
Yes, The Bureau
*Sighs loudly* Discounting Codemasters games that still list GFWL and I've not seen any communication of its removal......with a Negative mind one would say its Typical of Codemasters to not fix the older versions support them because they think there is no value in supporting the older models because you clearly need to buy their newest version which clearly is the best....Yet I cannot play as Karun Chandok in the newest version of F1, let alone Dirt 2 still has GFWL as well. Sucks....same with Dirt 3.

I wish it was Zero instead. x: That one is quite a bit better.
You may miss a few story beats if you skip the witcher 1 and just play witcher 2 but they give you a general outline of what happened in the witcher 1. The gameplay is serviceable, story is really good. Pick it up, its a good game and its only like $2. Can't really beat a price like that.
This is the first I've really looked into the market and badges, and while it's cool I think they have a whole lot to go in regards to usability. A better way to search for cards, sell items in bulk and see what cards you need for certain badges within the market itself would be great. They'd get so many new market users if it were a bit more user friendly to use, I'm sure a lot of people check it out and think any potential money gained is not worth putting up with that crap.

bad gameplay lol
The Mitsurugi Kamui cards were over a dollar a couple days ago. Now they're less than half that. Dammit.

Also, since I'm unsure of how well Euro Truck Sim 2 will run on my PC, is the first game worth it for 89 cents? I'm kinda curious as to what it's all about.

I didn't even notice there was a demo. I'm going to try it out now.
It'll probably go down another dollar during the Christmas sale... not much of a difference considering the sale price. It's not a very good game though lol.
I have Euro 2 and it's not very demanding at all. As for the game, It's one of my fav veg out games. I load up some BBC radio in the online radio thing and just drive around.

Extremely sloppy work and there is a reason why I am no voice actor, but it haunted my mind the entire night. I had to make it.

I'm digging through my wish-list trying to figure out what all the blank entries are. Two of them have working store links and they are Magicka 2 and Shadow of Mordor. Add a name and banner already, you lazy bums.
The third didn't have a working store link and I had to look up the app id. It's Chroma and apparently they removed the store entry 16 days ago. Is it possible it got cancelled after the layoffs at Harmonix?

If you like jrpgs yes.

It's a genuinely well-scripted, clever, charming little game. The novelty of the controls lasts about as long as the game itself (about 3.5 hours), and it's full of enjoyable characters, sharp writing, and honest humor. It's like a really great old-school cartoon - master-class slapstick, wrapped in delightfully corny bits of wordplay.
