An crazy bad crime has been committed. Someone killed the Bad Rats. Although annoying, no one deserves to die at the hands of a 'vigilante'. There are currently 3 suspects. You're the chief detective and it's up to you to pick who you think is suspect. Good luck.



3 different games. All hinted at by the title. I think all the games are pretty good. Good luck guys. I would have liked to do a big giveaway like some others in here but this is the best I have right now! If anything is messed up, let me know. Going to bed soon so I'll sort out any issues tomorrow evening (UK time).
Just saw a pm from derexperte saying that they already had Dishonored.

So not sure how it works but maybe the key will work again if you pm modbot and try claim it?

If that doesn't work, I'll try sort a quick 15 min raffle in the evening.

Astebreed is a very pretty game

It looked really cool. Damn that reminds me about those Astebreed and Crimzon Clover. Hmm Far Cry 3 and Civ 5 Brave New World might have to wait. I saw Astebreed when searching for Shmup, and it has over 90 metacritic. Is this game really as good as that metacritic score states? Cause it looks like a really badass mech game!

I had a couple of dollars left in my steam wallet, so here is one last giveaway from me before the sale ends! It's not much, but hopefully someone out there will give it a good home.

great game, whoever wins it will be sucked into it every time they load it up
 
Bulletstorm has the single greatest sniper rifle out of any first person shooter ever. If its future wasn't up in the air because of GFWL, I would totally recommend people buying it even though it's only 50% off buuuuuut I can't because GFWL is an issue and neither EA nor Epic have stated anything concrete about patching in the ability to play Bulletstorm offline or patching GFWL out.

Was able to play a few Merc Matches with Soma in RE6.
Was a lot of fun even though I wasn't doing to well. I'm definitely very rusty at the game having not played it to seriously in awhile.

If you posted a key, someone took it, but they realized they didn't want it and asked you to repost it:
- Make sure they did not use the key
- Send a PM to ModBot. The title should contain the word nuke. The body should contain, one per line, Steam Keys you wish to unclaim. Not ModBot keys, Steam keys. Not more than one per line. No game titles. Just the keys.

And thx again for the cool giveaway. :)

Out of curiosity, where do you feel DS1's quality drops off? I'm at Anor Londo right now.

Awesome. I bought it for the 33$ like halfway through the sale, couldn't stand waiting any longer. Just reached Anor Londo this morning during my first playthrough of Dark Souls.

There is still awesome stuff after Anor Londo, but Lost Izalith comes soon which is a terribly lazy area with the worst boss in the game, and recycled bosses throughout. Then the final area is pretty lazy as well, though it does look pretty cool.

Cool Facts: Game of War has been a hit since July 2013
What is the best fighting game on Steam? A good single player campaign is a bonus.
 
Out of curiosity, where do you feel DS1's quality drops off? I'm at Anor Londo right now.

Unfortunately Anor Londo is typically considered the final area (ignoring some of the optional content which may still be incomplete [EDIT: The DLC not included either] and can be tackled following the area if this is the case) before the quality drops. The bottom of this quality-pit will be quite clear to you when the Lost cause reveals itself.

It should be noted that the DLC helps sustain the quality quite a bit longer as it, overall, is particularly strong, but the final few areas iin the main game are, unfortunately, a considerable step-down either in the type of challenge they pose, level design, and/or enemy design.

EDIT: That isn't to say the later areas are bad, it's just that the initial, and optional, areas in the game are of a higher quality than the later (for reasons I can't really go into given your position in the game).

Dammit, that's what I was forgetting. The DLC for RE6. >_< Well, something to look forward to in the next sale, then (or use Playfire credit on if GMG runs a good sale before then). Is there any that should be skipped, or is all the DLC "must-have" stuff?

That damn fallout new vegas, taunting me. I tried buying it last night, but for some reason it wouldn't go through. good thing because now its cheaper.
 
Good haul this year:
Dark Souls 2 + Season Pass
Dishonored GOTY
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate (had base, no DLC)
Skyrim DLC's (Same deal, bought legendary ed. for the DLC)
Bioshock Infinite + All DLC
Divinity DLC
Rogue Legacy
Inquistor
Long Live the Queen
Sleeping Dogs Complete

Was gonna bite on Crusader kings 2 complete and the Deus Ex Directors Cut (have regular HR and Missing link but wanna replay it soon) so I guess they'll be what I look out for this Christmas.

Cheers all.
 
I bought stuff, while I'm sure there will be a "Let's Play the games we got during the sale thread" in the near future and a damage thread, here are some very short impressions of the games I gotten a chance to play so far if you still have some budget left!

  • Of Orcs and Men - Fantastic ARPG from those crazy frenchmen/women at Cyanide and Spiders. Great characters and surprisingly deep tactical combat. Really starting to become a fan of these houses.
  • One Way Heroics - Super cheap rogue-like RPG with some carry-over progression like Rogue Legacy. Definitely looks to have that same "Just one more try" about it.
  • Divinity: OS - Only played through the tutorial dungeon a couple of times with a couple of different builds, but might just be the spiritual successor to BG2. Well until Eternity comes out!
  • Grim Dawn - For an early access game, seems very polished already. Some textures are a little rough but looks great!
  • Castle Crashers - Beautiful graphics though probably more fun in co-op, 4 player.
  • Shadowrun Returns: Beautiful Turn based RPG. Great setting and I think I'm already halfway through the first campaign. Best portraits ever btw!
  • Bit.Trip.Flux - Rhythm based arkanoid clone. Looks great, not so sure about the mouse controls yet, I probably need to find the settings!

The ones that got away for various reason, not a big enough discount, ran out of budget etc... (There's always next sale! Halloween?)

  • Consortium
  • Broken Edge
  • Ghostbusters
  • Broforce

Mulitple lists!
:p

The only DLC worth getting is Onslaught. Which is basically a VS mercs mode.
Everything else is just MP modes that no one bothers with anymore.

What a bummer. Oh well, I'll at least finish Anor Londo and see if I want to stick with it after that.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Definitely but if he's wanting Story than looks like only MK9 and Injustice fit that bill.
Well I guess you could say Blazblue to but not sure about that port.

Blazblue port missing story and online :(. They ported the shit windows 8 version instead of the GFWL version sadly

Lost Izalith was really the only area I felt was noticeably worse than the others. Its just bizarrely shitty and rushed compared to everything else.

When you bought skyrim legendary does add to base skyrim or do you have 2 seperate games.
 
Does any one have any memorable moments from the sale/threads?

First highlight, all the giveaways by Gafers (I entered specifically ones that had Bad Rat, managed to avoid it... am I lucky or am I cursed?) Special shout out to nbnt for State of Decay. Keep up the good work all you generous people.

My second highlight was the previous thread consisted basically of Games, Girls, Gabe and Gafers.

Third, just being around awesome people who like to game.

I hope to see you all in the future, one way or another.
