Recettear is for -75% if anyone's interested.

Also, the Stalker series, LA Noire and Total War series.

Thanks for the RAGE input. Made it much easier to make a decide. Though I have no real expectations on it, I don't really like being stuck in First person. I do love Wasteland rpgs though, so I think I'll pass it in favor of another New Vegas run.

I did not like RAGE.

ID is a great corridor shooter dev. They know how to make great atmosphere too. RAGE was a failed experiment. They try to open their game up and disguise it's a corridor shooter but fail miserably.

The world is lifeless. The questing is repetitive. You often times will visit the same cave 3-4x just to do a quest. It's the smallest "open world" I've ever seen in a game. Story is TERRIBLE and probably the worst ending I've seen in a game this gen. NPCs are dull.

Graphics, AI and shooting gameplay is amazing. ID needs to stick to making pure corridor shooters because they're not good at this new open world theme. RAGE feels like a giant tech demo and nothing more...

I'm was initially tempted to get a driving game with this community choice thing and all, as I don't yet own one. Then I got a closer look and man would it be a tough choice of whom to pick. One is published by Ubisoft, and has more of a story-mode than anything else, not a pure racing game really. The other is a franchise held down by EA. The third one got my interest, and I would have voted for it and bought it regardless of how much the price'll be down - but alas, it has THE WORSE THIRD PARTY DRM EVER. You can only activate it on 4 computer set-ups - if you've upgraded your video-card for example, that's one less life for it. After 4 it's gone. Even if you've bought it.

What a waste. I for one don't buy products with limitations this radical. Damn SecuRom, damned you be for all eternity.

Ugh, well at least that takes all of those out of temptation range.  I would try a good driving game, too, though I imagine those work better with gamepad than mouse-keyboard.  I used to be obsessed with the Road Blasters arcade game. 

Started The Walking Dead last night- pretty good, even though I wasn't happy about the QTEs and timed dialogue responses.  But I can see it does add to the urgency of the story.

What's the verdict on Dear Esther? People seem to either hate it or love it, but the soncept seems interesting to me. Anyone played it yet?

[deuce985]

Well, looks like nothing interesting on daily deals today.

Can't complain, I've bought a ton of stuff off Steam so far. Still hoping to see Arma 2(doubtful) and Shogun 2:Total War Fall of the Samurai go on sale.

You just go around the island and reveal journal entries.

It's an experience, not a game. It's interactive storytelling/art. I personally loved it...

But if you expect something other than interactive art/storytelling, prepare to be disappointed.  I thought it was beautiful. More games need writing like that. Gaming's biggest weakness right now is writing and we need more games like this to show they can stand to mediums like books.

Aah, I think I could give Need For Speed a good run. It won the community choice and all, and doesn't have the dreadfully sadistic DRM of the other choices. EA or not.

edit: naah, I already promised not to buy anything from this sale. Unless it's Amalur. Which is practically impossible to see on sale. Also, I watched a game-play vid. And this game is boring as *.

I think you should definitely buy it for the few bucks as its price.
Haven't played it yet, but from what I hear (and will play in my spare time if I find any), it's good. In this respect, for games as this, I agree with the post above entirely.

[Nordicus]

Well, just got Thief Gold and Stalker: Clear Sky.

I don't have money for some of the possible sales on semi-new games anymore, but at least I've got 15 new games. More than enough for the next 6 months, maybe the whole year

[deuce985]

I recommend STALKER. It probably has the best atmosphere I've ever played in a FPS.

[Brockololly]

YES. RECETTEAR BOUGHT.


Just hoping Crusader Kings 2 goes back on sale as a flash deal now.

[Chromie]

Just noticed it's on sale BUY IT EVERYONE!

Shadow of Chernobyl gives you

*an original setting
*an open world
*survival elements
*horror segments that hold up even when armed to the teeth
*FANTASTIC AI
*modability
*roleplaying elements
*multiple endings
*excellently atmospheric and dark lighting

When I bought the game last Christmas and played it, I couldn't help thinking the game was as if made for me. FPSs have never made me feel like that... until SoC

The STALKER series is great. Highly recommended if you can live with the somewhat dated graphics. If you've never tried it before, you best bet is Call of Pripyat as it's the most polished (and in my opinion best) of the bunch.

I played it back in February and was unable to figure out why it was interactive at all. No one seems to be able to explain the 'game', which is indicative that it's a failure of design to me. I basically didn't like it.

[casamar]

 So many games, I feel like I'm spoiled for choice.

The one that interests me the most right now is Spec Ops: The Line, anyone have any thoughts on it?

[android654]

For those who haven't played it, like myself. The Witcher 1 is on Steam for 5.99 usd until this Sunday.

Anyone have any idea if The Walking Dead Season pass will drop any between now and the end of the sale?

I think it's possible it might be a daily deal, I'd wait until closer to the end.

Even Risen 2 got 33% off today, I was surprised because it is a new game. If I didn't already have such a huge backlog, I'd buy it at this price, but I think I'll wait to buy Risen 2 when it drops down to $10 or so... maybe $20 with all the DLC

Ok, thanks. You stopped my purchase. I'll hold off until Sunday night. Or does it continue into Monday?

Haven't played it, but from everything I've read/heard, the shooting gameplay is pretty average but the reason to play that is for the story which is actually supposed to be pretty interesting, especially for a shooter.

Highly doubtful.

It was a daily deal already so if it goes on sale again as a Flash deal it'll probably be as another 40% off deal. Its still a fairly new game and its selling well, so I wouldn't expect it to get cheaper than 40% off.

[android654]

Damn. I guess I missed my window then. That's a shame.

[TheBlackBaron]

So tell me, gents, out of the three STALKER games, which do you think is the best and which would you suggest to a relatively new player (assuming those aren't one and the same).

I think Shadow of Chernobyl has more mods, but all three look very interesting. 

Already had Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat in my library, so I picked up Clear Sky today.

By the way. Anyone in the market for an adventure game, you should pick up the Blackwell Bundle and the Still life pack. All six games are solid and they'll total under 15 usd. Worth every penny.

It's $4.99, DRM-free, on GOG.com right now.  $3.39 if you buy it together with Witcher 2.

I prefer buying from GOG.com over Steam because GOG games don't need any sort of client or registration to run.  Once you buy something from GOG.com, it's your for good.  You can quit GOG.com, and you will still be able to use the games you buy from GOG.com.  Not so with Steam (or Origin.)  If you buy a game from Steam or Origin, you better stay with them. Like, forever.  If you leave, everything you buy from them... well, they won't be yours anymore. You won't be able to use the apps/games you have already paid for.   Once you leave, or get into a dispute or lawsuit with them, Steam/Origin gets to keep whatever you own,   even though you have already gave them your money for those products.  

Gotta hand it to all these corporations that come up with this this "give us your money but we still actually own whatever you think you buy -- you don't own ****" business paradigm, made possible with digital downloads, DRM and client services.
