Hmm. Steam Canada has Transistor at $10.99 and PSN has it for $7.99. Combined with the 25% off PSN cards I got a while back, that's basically $5.99. Is buying Transistor on PC worth the extra five bucks? I'm leaning towards the PS4 version based on those prices.
Also: shocking milestone, Steam being beaten by PSN during a Steam sale. What. Steam sale just convinced me to buy Transistor... on PS4. Oh well, might pick up Dragon Commander based on the Durante seal of approval (but dear lord I already have too much to play).

Steam should honestly put a "FRANCHISE/SERIES" stamp on front-page sales like thatStop the presses!
Seemingly as part of the Divinity: OS 48 hour deal, Dragon Commander is 75% off!
Check here to see why you should buy it.

Damn I was hoping that Resident Evil 5 would be $5 with RE6 up there.

I get that though. I have been refreshing and switching back from one to the other since the sale started, it still feels much slower than previous sales. Modbot should be reworked into also providing a hype man at a rap battle style sale related exclamations, interjections, and commentary to heighten the flow of the thread. Get those crowds excited.

Do encores occur on the final day of the Steam Autumn Sale, or do only certain seasonal sales do that? I feel like getting the Far Cry 3 Franchise Pack and Saint's Row IV since I already missed out on the daily deal for Deus Ex Human Revolution.

1080p, medium setting, 30fps is what you can expect.
Grab it.
It's 33%.
And a more appropriate price for Divinity would be +25%, considering the drek people pay $60 for
This. I paid 70 euros for it. One of the few purchases I never regretted.
....By how awful NBA games have gotten: Microtransactions all over the place, broken gameplay, broken online, frustrating A.I. teammates and opponents, players that control like they are running through mud, broken jumpshot system.

Haven't bought anything this sale. I just bought Dragon Age: Inquisition earlier this week and I feel kind of bad buying anything else unless it's just too good a price to pass up.
Divinity: Original Sin, The Evil Within, and Endless Legend would have got me if any of them were $15 or less.
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky would have got me if it was on sale AT ALL.
See ya at Christmas time, Steam?

I remember they used to do that like 3 years ago. Not sure why they don't, it kind of leaves people very confused.

From what I hear, RE6 isn't worth it at any price. They should pay you to play that game.

Finally picked up Divinity:OS. Not sure how I'm going to juggle it, Inquisition, Witcher 2, D&D and all my finals, but dammit I've got to try.

It depends. RE6 is a flawed game, but it does present one of the best third-person shooter systems to exist - it's just hard to get into (it comes across as very punishing, doesn't teach you about its nuances at all, and it has many unpolished aspects). It's also specifically built around being played with other people; if you don't have someone to play with I think it's a bit harder to sell. But I do think the game does enough right that it's worth checking out.

Didn't this game also had the strategic waifu aspect? Or I'm mixing it with Valkyria Chronicles.
Either way, man, don't do this to me, I'm torn between Saint's Row IV and now this... Choices, choices!
You can even have an undead waifu!
No.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Get Biohazard 4: HD instead. Or, preferably wait for Biohazard: REbirth/REmake to hit Steam. Muuuuuch better use of your time and money.

Sonic Hits Collection on Amazon is 12.49. Worth it? I only really want Generations, but its 15 dollars on its own.
I'm under the impression that Transistor remains at a higher price on Steam since it is still selling like crazy, if the previous chart placing is any indication to go by.
Eyeing Original Sin. Might pick up a Steam card after I get out of work; they sell those at 7-Eleven?
It's not especially demanding. It ran pretty well on my old Core 2 Duo setup, and that was through Wine on Ubuntu.

How does Ultra SF IV run on PC? Haven't played a SFIV since the original one.
Netcode is shit, Capcom is garbage.
Depending on what players want RE6 isn't that bad. It has excellent combat so fans of mercenaries in RE5/RE4 should be happy to apply the new mechanics (counters, drop and roll, etc) to the mode. The story campaigns themselves are pretty awful though. Like the staff that designed the set pieces were trying too hard to copy what's popular without the talent. This results in goofy stuff like a qte sequence to look for car keys or piss poor camera angles during a chase sequence.

i really want it to hit the $7 mark like before, but it's not happening again is it?

I thought I'd last this sale without buying anything. Divinity at 33% off changed that.

Saints Row 4 upgrade pack for $2.50, contains all the DLC.
this isn' listed under Saints Row 4 so if you want to grab all the DLC for cheap then go here.

Honestly Generations is worth an easy $20 based on the quality of the game plus the ridiculous modding community it has.
I'm sure other people wouldn't mind taking the extra games off your hands, as they're separate Steam keys.

I remember it being 10 dollars at one point, but not 7. I already have Transformed, so the only thing I want is Generations, and maybe Adventure.
God, that's depressing. Reviews like that make me feel old.

Don't buy USF4, It's shit.
Funny - exact same boat for me. But I'm jumping in on Divinity now - been debating since Thanksgiving and I figured I've wasted enough time thinking about it.
Now I just have to resist splurging on Risen 3 or Dragon Commander...those recommendations from Durante is tempting.
