Divinity Origin Enhanced edition worth it? I am a fan of Fallout 2 and Icewind Dale and it seems the isometric style is almost the same without guns .. RPG but with slightly more action. However I hate wordy games like BG and Planescape Torment etc..
There is quite a bit of dialogue in Divinity, if you want to talk. But the game has a focus on combat, and even in the bits where the game allows you to talk your way through, you can usually just plain fight stuff as well. So a big focus on player freedom. Also the combat system happens to be the best turn based combat system ever realized, by the way.

Interested in getting Subnautica, seems like a nice diving and exploring game?
But I never bought an early access game before, will I get the full game once it's released or do I need to rebuy it?

Buying an early access games is buying the game, you just get to play the janky early versions before other people get their hands on the final product.
 
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.
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.
Dead Rising 3 isn't worth it; bad game and terrible sequel. Performance is still iffy even after the so-called fixes.

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.

You got the idea. Go from Hexcells to Plus to Infinite. Hexcells plays like a tutorial, easing you into the trap known as Plus. Shit gets real.

Went through my Summer Sale cards and turned the leftovers into gems.
What a pita it was: search for cards > select card and hit turn into gems > are you sure? > hit yes > you gained 20 gems > click OK > inventory page loading > inventory page doesn't go back to my search despite the search words still being there in the search input place > cancel at least a letter and re-type it to get the search result wanted > rinse and repeat. I tried the 1-click turn into gems ES button, but it simply didn't work.

Ugh, haven't been able to trade any card in the last hours, trade confirmations almost never appear, and when they do I can't accept the offers :(

This was a pretty good sale for me overall (probably the best out of the past few). I'll be busy for a long time.

Picked up:

Fallout 4
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Doesn't run that well on my system though, unfortunately).
Prison Architect
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Fable Anniversary
Tales of Symphonia
 
I'm feeling that itch to buy something else before the sale ends but there is nothing that jumps out at me.

I also have Witcher 2 and Stalker that should tide me over for a while so I should probably walk away and do something else for 20mins.

Quick question. What happens if I turn the trading cards I got from purchasing into gems or badge, but then get a refund for a game or two I am not sure about?

If I am thinking about returning some stuff, should I just not touch those cards and let them expire?

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.
Slightly OT but how come Nuuvem prices don't come up in Enhanced Steam's Lowest Price section anymore?

One of two reasons: first of all, IsThereAnyDeal (who we get our pricing data from) take into account region locked items now, and Nuuvem has region locked a lot of their stuff. Secondly you may have disabled Nuuvem in your extension options page.

EDIT: speaking of Enhanced Steam, the servers are starting to die again as people scramble to make their last minute purchases.

They won't care about a couple of cards. As long as you don't abuse it (like buying then refunding >10 games).

Huh. Well, in that case does anyone have Splash, Naptime is the best time, and Everything is fine cards they can trade me? Only ones i need to craft the badge.

My Steam name is DemonFang.

Well I tried Dead Rising 2, its an arcadey type game, but I am not enjoying it. Just not my type of game. The slow movement speed also doesnt really help.

I have refunded the games. Doubt I will enjoy Dead Rising 3 either, not my cup of tea.
