Same here. I'm having to force myself not to start any new games until I've completed the one I'm on. Dying to try Elite and Alien.

If this is the last day then all I've bought is Skate 3 and Toy Story 3 for Backwards Compatibility, and I likely won't even play them when (if in toy storys case?) they're made available

I have DI GOTY on ps3, so get dying light some time down the road? I guess that is basically what you are saying.
Yea I just picked up Elite too but I started Borderlands the Presequel last night.

Life is Strange
Alien Isolation Collection
Dragon Age: GOTY (cheaper than picking up the all DLC)
FH2 Storm Island
Adventures of Pip
Destiny TTK
360:
Tomb Raider Anniversary
South Park Stick of Truth

I have a 360 and bought LEGO Star Wars 3 and LEGO Batman 3, as well as Toy Story 3 and Cars 2.
Edit: oh yeah, and Pure! Not sure if I'm forgetting anything else ... Good sale for me overall.

I got exactly what I wanted out of the sale. Fallout 4 and South Park: the Stick of Truth. I don't think there's anything else I'm looking to pick up for the year, though Dying Light is interesting.
For the price, Alien is a steal.

I was all set to wait for Dying Light: EE until Feb 9.
Now I don't know what to do. This would actually be $5 cheaper, but I've waited this long, I kind of want to wait for the improved graphics/animations.

For anyone getting Dying Light, I would recommend waiting to play it until February 9th. That is when the Enhanced Edition comes out and will be a free update for existing owners of the game.
alien is terrific
Just to be bitchy, it's Escape Dead Island, not Escape from Dead Island.
Unlike the usual Dead Island games, this one is a third-person action adventure, one that uses very stylized visuals. For that price, it actually isn't a bad little game. It's not great, but I had a lot more fun with it than I thought I would when I reviewed it last year.
If you want something different, you could do worse—and you don't need to have played any other of the Dead Island games to appreciate it. (But, perhaps unlike Keyser Soze, I can appreciate stuff like this, also being a fan of games like Raw Danger and Disaster Report and other kinda-janky adventure games.)

Well the new deal is already out so it will run out soon (no clue when its price will be removed).

For some stupid reason I didn't realize they were going to split the deals into two weeks, and everything I wanted was on sale last week. Oh well, I'm sure the Forza stuff will be on sale some other time.
The cel shaded one is pretty awful

How were you going to get the Enhanced Edition for so cheap?

I'm decided between Octodad and Life is Strange. I know they couldn't be more different but if anyone who's played both could offer some impressions, I'd really appreciate it. I've heard/read a bunch of good things about LiS and for $10 why not jump in and see what's what but the weirdness of Octodad is tempting me.

The one notable technical issues was a bug after episode 4 was released. That was fixed about a week after release. I have not experienced or heard of any other notable bugs.

I had a flawless experience technically speaking with Life Is Strange when I played through it about a month ago. Definitely recommend this one.
The sale yes, but this is the last new daily deal. So no new dailys from now, but the weeklys will stay up until the 7th.

Anyone know this?
I'd rather play on Xbox, but if not I guess I'll just wait for a PS4 version sale.

Quick question for those that own Chivalry, is the player base still healthy? I know it just came out recently but I really don't want to buy in if I'm going to have trouble finding full matches.
I just bought it last night.
It's fun, looks great, has an involved story, and the premium version has a nice range of DLC content added into it to make it a worthwhile investment. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you want an alternate fighting game outside of KI.

If you enjoy single player or local go for it. If you prefer online it's net code is complete ass.

The PC version doesn't have much of a community with mkx being the third netherrealms's online turd on the platform. But if what you want is a decent local and single player game then it has that

Yea I bought Octodad on ps4 because of the weirdness. After 3 levels it wore off for me. Once I began getting objectives and couldn't complete them It went from silly fun to a regret purchase. I assume you, like me, wanted to fuck around in Octodad. I played it for an hour day one and have never gone back. I never even thought about the game again until you mentioned it. Before release I couldn't wait to play it, bought it day one. Hope that helps
Agreed with this. The novelty wears off really fast in Octodad. Life is Strange has a much more interesting take on the modern adventure game.
I never had any issues when I played on Xbox and never had any crashes so you should be fine. Does this game have issues of other consoles/PC?
