When did you buy the base game? Have you played more than 2 hours?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Here's the deal - I just dropped $100 on this sale (including a preorder for INSIDE).
... but I'm still strongly considering Hyper Light Drifter.
I don't know why I didn't grab it and flip it out with one of the games listed above. But I just don't feel "complete" without it. I wasn't hyped for it during its KS. I never even read the OT. It just came and went. But for some reason, right now, it feels like the game I'm "itching for." Something with good gameplay, a good story, and playable on my laptop on the road. A memorable experience with an awesome art style and killer soundtrack.
Convince me to go for it, GAF...

hyper light drifter storytelling is awful, its all cryptic and makes no sense unless you Google it, but the game is a lot of fun.Here's the deal - I just dropped $100 on this sale (including a preorder for INSIDE).

I thought the sale was ending at midnight so the only thing I ended up buying was Hiragana Battle because I thought I'd have a go at learning Japanese.
Really, the vast majority of my wishlist isn't any lower than it was in the past, or is just too small of a discount to justify when I have such a backlog already. Probably the most disappointing Steam sale I've seen?
You've got quite a haul there...why would you buy another when it'll just sit in your backlog and at 20% off it'll surely be cheaper later?

i haven't bought anything yet and to be honest i think the only one i'll get is doom. nothing else has a significant discount and i can find some games just as cheap if not cheaper elsewhere.
With anime posts, it will be the greatest thread on GAF.
and posts complaining about anime
damn post nazies

WHY DID NO ONE MENTION DEAD SPACE? It was through reddit that I saw a link for a Dead Space bundle..
I need to know if it's poorly optimized on PC (AMD cards) or something. I've been rebuying a lot of games that I've gotten for PS3 through PS+ for free. I'm getting them for either PS4 (Borderlands Collection) or PC (Max Payne 3, Batman:AC, etc).

Dunno abouit AMD cards but the series has always had farily good performance on PC, though the first IIRC had some sort of weird issue with vsync.
Either way, just check out their entries on PCgamingwiki.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
So I've been playing a bit of Oblivion with some mods, mostly graphical overhauls, lighting, weather, high definition textures - mostly immersion stuff. The game holds up really well considering it released in 2006:
It looks absolutely amazing at 1440p and looks really good in motion. I runs at 60fps on my R9 390X, but on occasion it will drop down into the low 50s when there's a lot going on.
It's a shame it didn't get a deeper discount during the sale.
There are still a few spots that are rough around the edges, but overall I'm really happy with how the modding turned out.

I couldn't get into it. I may try again if your share your mods.
Only elder scroll game I actually competed, cliche yea I know, was morrowind.
Wow this web site is very useful. Thanks!
Dead Space runs beautifully on PC, just turn down v-sync as it was said. Otherwise it runs at a low framerate with terrible input delay and massive loading times, for some reason.

I'm still adding new mods all the time, because I'll play for an hour or two and think "I wish I had a minimap in the corner of the screen" or "Hmmm this would be more interesting of a location if..." and so far everything I've thought of, someone's already got a mod for it, sometimes a ridiculously good one. I'll compile up a list of my favorites at some point, but I'm still in the "trying things out" phase.
One mod I'm particularly impressed with though is Realistic Leveling. This fixes most of the issues I had with the default leveling / scaling system. The default level scaling stuff is just so bad. This mod makes the leveling system a lot more intuitive and lets the game difficulty scale really well in my opinion. This, along with the unofficial patches, are an absolute must.

Any Rocket League DLC worth it?

Just Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. I did not want to purchase anything, but it's more of an habit, buying at least one thing during a sale.

XCOM and XCOM 2

In order of recommendation:
- Age of Wonders 3 and its expansions.
- Thea: The Awakening.
- One Way Heroics and its Plus expansion.
- ToME and its expansions. (Note that the base game of ToME is freeware outside of Steam.)
- Other, more mainstream stuff that you've probably played but still worth mentioning: FTL, Invisible, Inc, XCOM 1/2 or X-COM UFO Defense (still good!)
"Close enough" bonus series:
- Crusader Kings II, Stellaris, Europa Universalis 4, Valkyria Chronicles, The Last Remnant, Total War: Warhammer.

A bit left field but blood bowl 2? I'm having a tonne of fun with it.
Amongst some other games I got me Axiom Verge. What a masterpiece. I should mentioned that I have never actually finished Super Metroid, only played through a third of the game probably. So other than Super Metroid, recommend me some other Metroidvanias I could still pick up while the sale is still on.
Is your credit card saved as your method of payment? Like do you uncheck that box to save it when you go through payments? Mine defaults to PayPal since I don't have one saved. Weird.
What.

You should definitively get Guacamelee and Cave Story+. Also consider Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight (I haven't finished it yet, but so far it has been great).
