Works very well and has loads of mods (like multiplayer and HR textures/models)

Just read there was 4 hours of cutscenes in the game, it doesn't even last 10 hours, Steam says I played 7.8 hours but steam crashed during my last play session so probably 1-2 hours short of the total play time.
Cutscene, shooting gallery, cutscene, shooting gallery, cutscene in middle of shooting gallery that leaves you in the open to die when gameplay starts again, cutscene
Got tiring after a while
Where do I get Steam for cheaper than free? :O
I like to joke that the game isn't worth more than the price of a movie ticket.

Bought the Counter Strike pack last night. That's my one and only purchase, so I'm done 
I hope I'm done at least
How you know what I want! (I already own TSW...)
Wasn't Miasmata a cummunity vote already?
A great port from what I remember.
Haven't all of these GTA games been cheaper in the past? Is 50% off really the daily deal?

I think so.
They arent nearly as deep as all the other games I usually recommend, but I had good fun with it.
The world is at our command?
You know, feel free to gift it to me, I won't complain
Just bought Alpha Protocol on GMG, I heard about the bad gameplay but it was CHEAP.

What the hell is this Tee Suh Wah everyone is all the rage about?
No. Rocking Dual Core Notebook highest settings.
That's the spirit!

What do you guys think about the THQ bundle?

Huh, cool. It's hard to tell if virtually all new games now require quad cores, or if that is simply becoming the new standard.

Maybe they'll be nice and give us a flash deal for TSW?
It's because people stopped caring after day 3 when it became apparent the sale was going to be awful.
One of the best deals this year. Assuming you don't own the majority of it.
If your graphics card is somewhat decent on top of a dual core processor, you shouldnt have problems playing it at least. Its not that intensive on the lowest settings.
edit:
Also, grab GalCivII guys.

And now you drop a caveat planting another tiny seed of doubt... WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME HERE!@#
Our only hope... community will propably not vote for it. I will buy 2 copies for friends if it goes at least 50%

If you don't own most of the games, buy it, amazing value
Read the OT! And watch the video I linked in there. If that sounds fun to you, give it a go.
That daily ended.

One of my favorite games in recent memory. Give it a few missions until you level up a bit and you'll be hooked.

Gameplay isn't good but dialog options are good. You can be the perfect douchebag.

My processor is a 3.0 GHz Athlon X2 250 that should be upgraded at some point, but I have a GTX 460, which supposedly shoulders more of the burden since it's a DX11 card. I generally avoid games if I can't play them on at least medium settings because I'm shallow.
^ I think we've found our first North Korean gaffer.Gee thanks Valve!
It's an insane deal, if you have any interest in just some of the games you should get it. It doesn't have everything in it (like various dlc or all the Dawn of War things) but you can't beat it for $25. Probably the best overall deal for the Steam sale.
You have taken me to the dark side. I'd even buy Hello Kitty Online if the price was right
Thanks. I checked out the IGN video review, and it seems like it has some unique things going for it. I'm up for something different different, so just bought it, and installing now.
Dude...you had two full days to buy it.
Same joke gets reposted every few pages(the other post, not yours).

Ouch. Why did you wait so long to buy it? Knowing what I know now though, I would still consider it a great purchase at $7.50. I have had loads of fun playing it. And sadness.

That's because it's not on sale. They lied to you.
So would you say stealth and douchebaggery is the best way to play this game? If so, I'll do it.

I implore you all to get and play The Witcher and The Witcher 2.
They are hands-down some of my favorite games to have ever played. The characters are fantastic, the setting is exceptionally realized, the music and art direction are brilliant, and the writing is phenomenal. The story is largely dictated by choices you make in the games, but, unlike Mass Effect, there are no blue or red choices. These games handle grey choices far better than any other game available. Hey, guess what, the choices you make actually do influence the outcome of events in the story in a significant way beyond decoration. Please, please get these games.
Also, Geralt is pretty much one of the most badass characters ever.
If you get The Witcher 1, I would recommend perhaps looking into this mod:
It is extremely easy to put into practice, and it makes the game far less tedious.
It essentially just lets you keep every item you pick up in your inventory so you don't mess with limited storage space, you can meditate anywhere you want to distribute points when you level instead of having to track down a campfire somewhere in the map, and you can use the cateye potion (lets you see in the dark) any time you choose instead of having to mix them (witchers have the natural ability to see in the dark, but they made it a potion for the games).
