Max Payne 3 for $15- yay or nay? I've been waiting for it to hit $10 or less but I'm tempted to get it now. Is there any Dead Man Walking mode like in Max Payne 2?

Yeah I'm usually pretty spot on with you, I've held off on getting either one and I don't think that will change anytime soon.
Error you say?
Oh my god I was just asking lol

Deal for GG has already been fixed iirc.
Viking: Battle for asgard for like $2.50 and Fallen Enchantress for $6-7. There may have been others, but that's the only ones I heard about.

If you can get a Latin American friend to help you, it's $11.24 here.
And yes, it was worth $30, so it's a steal at $15.

You don't need some amazing gaming skills to beat Dark Souls. I'm pretty much one of the shittiest gamers and I got through it without too much effort. You need a lot of patience and persistence, but I can't stand it when I see people flat out ignore it because they've heard that it's some near impossible feat to finish the game. That's a myth. It is pretty tough and you will die a lot, but I think that makes it really fun and super rewarding. It also makes the exploration a lot better than in most games because you feel somewhat privileged to see new locales and face new enemies.
If you just get mad because you can't run up to a boss and press buttons and win, yeah, you probably won't like it-- try RE6 maybe-- but if you want a challenging, absorbing, and completely rewarding experience, get this game. I hate it that so many people are too spooked to even try the game. If I can beat it anyone can.

I've played over 20 titles this year and BD is my goty. So opinions vary.

Wow, you can't even buy it separate, they just redirect you to the GOTY page. Base game buyers are even more fucked than they were before. Fuck you WB, I'm never buying a game new from you again.

The real comedy of errors is that you still could buy it separately for your steam version,
from your overlords at xbox.com
2012 is serviceable, though I only put maybe a few hours into 2013. From what I noticed they added way more cards to unlock so you can change your deck more drastically from time to time. They made it so you have some control over land tapping in 2013 but you need to buy the expansions for that because almost all the base decks are monocoloured.
That sucks, it was okay if it was 3 bucks or something when it was on sale. You might have to try somewhere else buy Gamersgate only has it for 5$ which is still a bit much. Sucks they took away the option to buy the DLC and just overrode it with the GOTY version.
It honestly is like 2 hours long and is just more Batman (you play as Robin). If you really liked BAC I guess you could drop the money for it.

Also, I should add, the co-op experience is absolutely incredible, so even if you do find that it's too hard and you're convinced that you just can't get past something, partner up with someone and tag-team some tough areas and bosses. I played most of the game solo because I wanted to do much of it on my own, but there were one or two bosses that I fought with a partner and it made those battles supremely epic.
There's really no excuse to avoid the game. Even if you find it too hard, get someone online to help you out. Just don't NOT play it because of the difficulty. The difficulty is one of the best things about the game and helps makes the experience amazing. It gives you that same feel that those old school tough as nails games used to give you back in the day.

This?
And a real hero...
It was pretty quiet when a buddy and I checked it out over the summer. It's a shame, since it seemed pretty neat.

Castle Crashers is definitely worth it at that price. I hear good things about AC but it's been cheaper on other sites in other deals.

Nevermind it was Nightcall at the beginning
Arkham City is the best hero game I've played. Some people think Asylum is better, but they are great, great games, among the best this gen. Castle Crashers is a really nice game, but I can hardly find an online match

Real hero, mister, check your PM.
Thanks to everyone else, will do another Hotline: Miami giveaway when I can think of something fun to ask for lol.

If you are new to magic I think I'd recommend just buying 2012 gold since you'll get way more decks that way. 2013 has less decks (unless you buy all the expansions), but has more cards that are unlockable for the few decks there. So...if you love the feeling of unlocking things get 2013. If you just want more variety without spending the extra cash get 2012.

Haven't played DS3 but there are better loot games than Sacred 2 out there like Titan Quest and Torchlight 2.
Sacred 2 would be good if it would crash less. It's an interesting take on loot games as it sports a fairly open world. It crashes about every 15 minutes for me, and multiplayer leads to lots of quest desynchronization issues so I gave up on it in the end. Dungeon Siege 3 was incredibly unremarkable.
The same can be said to DS3, it's a nice, kinda generic game. It's fun, though.
I fucking hate that "real hero" song
... and speaking of songs, what are the odds of Rocksmith DLC being discounted further than it already is (35%)?
You're probably gonna hate Ninja Blade's guts

Also hoping Rocksmith becomes a daily and DLC gets a bigger discount.

Deadlight is pretty bad.
The game has a lot of QTE sequences.

I've played a little bit of Dark Souls and this is the vibe I got, which is precisely why I don't want to play it. That sort of thing is not fun to me. I've never liked the arcade style "eat your quarters" style game, and I've never liked the sort of the games that make you simply memorize the traps to avoid them Dragon's Lair style. That's what I associate old-school difficulty with: arbitrary stuff you could have never known about until it kills you.
I'm not afraid of difficulty. I like games that have enough freedom to allow you to actually build up a strategy and execute it. From everything GAF has said, it sounds like Dark Souls is supposed to be up that sort of tree, but my initial impressions spoke otherwise. Hopefully someone will assure me that Dark Souls doesn't fit this mold and that my impressions are misguided.
I've got two extra copies of Castle Crashers for $3.75. If anyone is interested, feel free to send a private message or add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kuromino
Edit: These have been claimed now.

Wait for Mark of the Ninja.
I just bought that DLC on opening day. Harley Quinn was 2.50.
It was a pita to install. Sent me to google to realize I had to copy the serial onto paper, go into Live, enter the serial there, exit to the Live download manager, rub a couple stones together, dance backwards, and finally get it installed and recognized in my game.

Damn, still waiting on a further discount on Thomas Was Alone :/
Thanks. Titan Quest looks pretty good then. Don't want to play Torchlight 2 just yet since I'm still a bit burnt out from 1

Shattered Horizon is worth that, but there aren't any people playing it like at all.
It's fun to install it and play around with bots for a while.
