Bought! Thanks for the highlight OP
I rarely, if ever, use Steam, but my impression is that Chivalry is often on sale. It might just be promotion or whatever, though.
In any case, this made me wonder if the Chivalry multiplayer community actually votes on this; like it's suggested by the community to vote on Chivalry whenever there's a sale, to get more people to play, or just because they enjoy it so much. I don't know.
In any case, is there a rule, like, if you already own a game, you can't vote on it?

I just voted with my wallet and brought it for 360. Your loss Steam.

Wish I saw your post 10 minutes ago... dammit.
Lol not for Australia, the PSN sale price is more than the standard XBL price. The AU PS Store is fucked and Sony need to fix it, everything is much more expensive on PSN in Australia. It makes my purchasing decisions so much easier though, as if the controller wasn't reason enough I get an additional slap in the face.
Standard price on XBL is $14.95. Sale price is $4.93 in Aus (1¢ cheaper than the U.S lol, before taking into account our bad exchange rate).

It's not a traditionally challenging game though, if that's your criteria for gameplay.
I know you're joking, but knowing that there are people who think like this irks me. Value isn't counted in hours. Brothers specifically is as good as it is because there is no filler, it just does what it needs to.
Yep everyday until December is over. I'm hoping for Forza 4 season pass and Porsche expansion. Horizon went on sale for 50% off and the season pass for 7O% off a few days ago.

Yep. I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure Brothers would win. Maybe it'll return and get it this time.

Glad I picked this up. I'm 30 mins in and it is an utterly charming game. I love how the brothers interact with the townsfolk.
Its both! I dont think either side is particularly great outside of a few moments (contrary to most people), but its a healthy mix. It also doesnt have full on dialogue or cutscenes like most games, so that might be of interest.
PC version is $6 on Amazon, FWIW:

Gameplay is there in the sense that you're controlling characters rather than just watching cutscenes, but it's simple and not very challenging. But the gameplay is used for very effective storytelling.
what kind of logic is this? have some respect for your own personal time dude

The game is alright. It has an interesting mechanic, but ultimately it serves boring/easy gameplay.
As for the narrative, maybe it's because I finished The Walking Dead just before playing Brothers, but I'm getting tired of cliched storytelling in which innocent people witness horrible things, or do horrible things just to get an emotional response from the player.

Don't let the Shoemaker Effect keep you from playing a fantastic game.

I too was disappointed by this.
Thanks guys - I'll give it a whirl. For 5 bucks it can't hurt.

On the bright side, Brothers is still $7.49 until Jan. 3rd so if it doesn't pop up again on a daily or flash sale it's still a pretty good price for such a fantastic game.
