Onimusha 3 is the shit, and anyone who hasn't played it should give it a whirl.
But is the port any good?

The game is that good, that you wont regret paying that. Seriously, At least I feel that way.
I regret not paying full price TBH.
HOLY SHIT. Price is a bit high on that, for as old as the game it, though.
This is probably because of the loyalty promo. You probably already have Clear Sky or Shadow Of Chernobyl (just like me) which gives you a 75% discount on Call Of Pripyat. Else, I think it's a 50% discount for COP alone which should push the indivual prices for the two games over the bundle.
Hm. I went to the Steam store on a browser (not being logged in) and it's still showing 75% discount for both games (which puts it at $8.73).

Does it matter that I haven't watched the TV series or read any of the comic books, when it comes The Walking Dead? Would I still enjoy it all the same?
I didn't watch the show or read the comics and I loved it.

Don't have to watch the show. It's still enjoyable.

We still have like two weeks.
The Daily Deal count has been halved, but that's more or less made up for by the six Flash Sales and the Community's Choice game.
Yes, there are less deals per day (6 as opposed to 8)
However, the sale ends on the fourth of January. It started on the 20th. That's 16 days of sales.
96 individual deals not counting the flash deals or the community votes which, yes, repeat.
Still. Pretty good if you ask me.
Imagine how many times Wargames can recycle!
Wargames for all!
Last year's Christmas/Winter Sale (which is what I assume he was indirectly referring to) had 12 Dailies.

Finally caught up with the thread again. Amazon and GMG are really bringing the heat this year. Today's daily is just no good on Steam. Their flash sales, indie section and random hidden deals feel better than the daily deals.
You and me both, brother. TWD, Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight sure are taking their sweet time getting to dat 66% off. At least TWD is getting decent discounts...
As is the comic. I'm like 13 volumes in, and I never want this to end!

Crap, I almost forgot to get F.E.A.R. I'd be on the fence about it, but I finally made up my mind and bought it. As for Walking Dead, I think I'll get it, even at only 50% it's a good deal, and I don't feel like waiting it out for a better day (it'll probably be £5 somewhere tomorrow). Also, really want to listen to the bombcast GOTY deliberations, and I imagine that will be incredibly spoilerific, plus I just want to play it and catch up on the neogaf spoiler thread.

Collectively, FEAR is great. The sequels dont live up to how good the first one is though, IMO.

Count yourself lucky, it's incredible the amount of damage you can do when this is essentially your first proper sale. I'm basically building my library from scratch, and every offer is insanely tempting. I'm trying hard not to blow through my entire steam wallet before the first week is over.

It's a good price, and even if the sequels disappoint, I just want to play something that attempts to do things a little differently in a genre that's over saturated with the same ideas over and over again.
It's half off for a couple of days come the 27th.

12/27-12/29 It'll be the same price.
Kinda wanted Deponia to win.

That is pretty dumb. I would have definitely gotten it at a base of $10 with 25%-50% off. Ten dollars after 50% is crazy for such an old game.
It's worth noting that the original FEAR has one of gaming's finest shotguns.
That does have a nice ring to it.

0 here. Sale sucks big time.

Srry if it has been asked before, but does TWD have spoilers for the tv series? I'm only at the end of the first season.

Tell me you snagged Condemned: Criminal Origins for $5 yesterday. It's better than Fear, to me at least.
Coupon code doesn't work anymore.
Prophet Steve

No it does not. They are separate stories with separate characters.

Completely different stories, plus the game is based on the comic books and not the tv show anyway (still different story from the comics too)
Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
My full recommendation goes to Lone Survivor for those who don't have it. A great little gem that does great with psychological horror, not reliant on jump scares and has a great atmosphere. If you like Older Silent Hill you need this game. Also the game was almost single-handily made by Jasper Byrne, who tackled the graphics, music, programming, design, etc., and is a really great and friendly guy.

Oh ok, how much is it without coupon code? Because I imagine it is still cheaper than any other way I can get it. I cannot even get to the US Gamefly site.

Cool thanks. Will buy then.
$24.99 USD

Ok thank you, I have more chance of getting it from someone in the UK, so I'll try that then.
