Everybody who values all aforementioned indie-junk games higher than a game made by pro's with skill and devotion obviously belongs to the Next-Gen new shit crowd. The people who are not real gamers. The ones who have an ~10 min attention span and think playing Zombies versus Robots is actually a good investment of time and money. The housewives, FemBoys and Casuals. I'm disappointed with the Codex' lack of taste.

I just cut myself on you. Again.

Voting options are Fable 3, Payday, and Darkness 2. But Gaben all of those have already been on sale during this event. :(
Guess I'll vote Payday. It's the most bro of the three unless Darkness 2 really knocks my socks off.

Oh no, Steam is trying to break my will and wallet putting up the Darkness II again. Help, help is needed.

Edit: demo was very promising. :(

Trying to figure out if you're a troll or just incredibly fucking stupid. I'm leaning towards the latter. At least you recognize Darkness 2 is shit. The odd thing is you don't recognize that crap like Uncharted 3 and Max Payne 3 are no better.

Don't say... I bought Dear Eschter and Space Marine. But, there's no art in having a fine taste, while tasty game are... cheap. Real Taste begins in the price region sofas of Luis XIV, I believe.

Ps. Anyone also having a bit disappointing feeling about this year "special" sales?

I got Arx Fatalis when it went on sale, any fans around to give me the run down on what the good mods/unofficial patches/etc. are?

It's always rather awkward when you're pondering if you want to buy something for ~1-2 minutes by looking through screenshots & shit before you find out that you already have it since you notice the "Play Now" button xD

Never played it though, so dno...

Game of Thrones is now 50% off. Tell me true, is it worth it at that price? IS IT WORTH IT?

I have to say, Steam has stolen many purchases from GOG for me, simply because it's cheaper. First Thief 3, then Unreal, and now Arx Fatalis. Sorry potato men, but you just can't argue with a cheaper price.

GOG tries to argue the half dozen wallpapers and datamined soundtracks are worth the extra money. The good news is if Steam ever goes bust and you don't have access to your games the DRM free GOG versions will be floating around the internet for all to claim as backup copies!

RK47 The ultimate editions at 75% as well, has all the DLC

I've been considering it, but get hit by variational pricing. Really should find some US based steam-bro to gift me things for paypal cash.

Just barely caught the GoT flash-sale coming home from work. $24, good enough for me.

I'm a long-term thinker. Soon, I will be dust.
