I picked up Shovel Knight.
Anything you guys would recommend for a shooter/platformer/RPG (not JRPG) fan before the sale ends in a couple hours?

If you don't care about the steam level and badges, sell them all.

Would you say, it's the most innovative shooter in years?
I had fun with these games:
I finally tried hexcells out just now - oh my god its minesweeper sudoku. I'm hooked.
Are the three games all independent - I can play hexcells and then move onto plus and infinite? They don't supplant each other? Hexcells seems fairly short but its soo good. Scratches that puzzle itch nicely, with a lovely ambient soundtrack that nicely integrates your moves with additional plinky plonky notes.
Only a couple hours left, but (posted this in the haul thread accidentally):
I have a couple small qualms, but I checked out Ghost 1.0 (even though I couldn't really get into UnEpic at all), and I'm enjoying it! I just beat the first boss, so looking forward to playing it more.

I need someone to tell me DR3 is worth it. I know its cheap but all these games add up after a while. if DR4 isn't until next year I might grab it, but if its coming this year then I might just wait for that instead.
Flipping through SteamSpy's count of sales from 6/23 through yesterday's update is interesting. Payday 2 seems like the big winner in volume so far. DOOM has done very well for itself, unsurprisingly. And the no-gifting policy doesn't seem to have hurt CS:GO too much.

Blegh, payday 2 was ruined with updates and dlc. I've played it since the beta and hate that it got more than 1 sale.
Yet another Greenlight Jimquisition.
What if that Yolo group is just a botnet with sole purpose of pushing crap through GL?

I'd say it's worth a playthrough if cheap enough yeah.
The story stuff is pathetically short but the challenge mode stuff is worth a look cos they're actually really quite tough

I haven't played any of it but the ones where you play with the cast of the original movie seem awesome, albeit they're short apparently.

How is Dead Rising 3? Never played 1, really liked 2. For that price? Did they fix issues on PC version? Heard it was bad.

Okay, I've seen this one too many times to ignore
Bought, cheers. No "Enjoying the little things" card to complete the set, sadly, so I guess that I'll just be turning them all into gems.
I think I may be done with the sale for now. Endless Legend is still of interest, but has been a little cheaper and I can't shake the feeling that it might be bundled before too long. Ghost 1.0 also tempts me, but I don't really know much about it other than a few brief (though highly positive) comments in this and related threads...
Yep, entirely independent and I'd recommend playing through them in order. The puzzles increase in complexity as you go from each game to the next and once you get to Infinite, while perhaps not truly infinite, there's enough there to keep you going for a *very* log time!

At one point one has to reconsider their life decisions.
Buying Steam Cards worth 13000$ should be way past that point.

They have about a hundred CSGO knifes in their inventory and 500 games. I highly doubt they are hurting financially.

Hexcells Complete Pack, if you have any interest in puzzle games. Think Minesweeper crossed with Sudoku, then much, much better.

I already have them, but thanks for the recommendation, they are indeed good games.

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.
Personally I'd say yes it does. One great thing about PC gaming (and Elder Scrolls games, in particular) is that they're built with mod support in mind. I'm playing the same game I first played 10 years ago - but thanks to modders it's like I'm playing an "HD Remaster". The texture pack is just a 4x or 8x uprez (some done by hand). Other mods I have change the way lighting works, adds "god rays", etc but even that mod is only 15MB in size. The realistic leveling mod I mentioned earlier is 22KB. The largest "overhaul" type mods I have are the "unofficial patch" mods, which total about 239MB. The game runs natively at 1440p without mods, and that itself is pretty damn impressive for a game that released in '06.
Don't get me wrong, setting up the mods has been a bit of work and the learning curve on setting them up correctly is fairly steep. But I personally think the fact that the game is customizable to the point that it can look and play this well is just as much a testament to the game itself as it is to the modding community.

Does it have the absurd 'let's set up the UI by absolute values instead of percentage' thingy many other (newer!) games have?
For example both Mass Effect and Arkham Asylum will stop being playable once everyone switches to 4K, as the subtitle size both of them use is ridiculously tiny at anything above 1080p.

Don't think anyone mentioned that the German version of the Skyrim total conversion Enderal is finally out. http://dl.enderal.com/ English in a few weeks.

I haven't installed any UI mods yet though I might get around to it since the PC version of the game copied the console UI. However, it still scales properly and looks good and the text is easy to read and is approximately the size I believe it should be.

I've heard almost nothing but praise about it and it's all voice acted.
