More crowded levels still run like trash, I know my PC is old but it far exceeds the game's recommended specs:

Only purchase for me so far has been the DLC for Mordheim, City of the Damned.

They drastically improved the load times too.

I just wish they'd fix some of the UI bugs that really annoy me, like not seeing your currently selected character on the mini-map and various and sundry issues.

It really is a fun game, and the Witch hunters are super fun to play.

I have never really played a FPS, what would people suggest?

I like the idea of it being somewhat realistic where you don't need to shoot a guy 30 times to kill them and also like the idea of using somewhat realistic tactics (even if futuristic). Also since I never really play games that are graphically advanced, it would be cool if it looked great too. I want to try something entirely new, outside of what I normally play. I started looking but there are so many choices, I don't know where to start.

Got Rust to try out because it was 50% off, but probably gonna refund it because it is a grindy frustrating anti-fun time sink if you're not cooperating with a group of people playing full time.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Is Rocket League worth it ?
I have only played it on PS4. You'll get many hours of fun. If you don't like it, you can ask for a refund. You have two hours to see if you like it. You'll make up your mind after one hour, I think.

It really depends on the matchmaking. Sometimes you get to play very fun matches and sometimes you will be frustrated and want to smash something or rip off your chest hair.

Is Dragonfall the best Shadowrun game? Figure I should buy something this sale. It's either that or Costume Quest 2 for $2.

Alan Wake any good? I'm thinking about buying it. Everything for 7.99 doesn't sound bad. I heard it's really good too.

It has some nice atmosphere. The main problem I have with the game is that the enemy is pretty boring. You basically fight shadows the whole game through.

Ended up getting:

Shadow of Mordor (hated it at first, but ended up liking it a bit more once I got into the nemesis system. Still not great, mainly because the world bores me. It's just two big maps full of enemies with no real sense of any sort of conflict going on. Liked it enough to finish it, though).
Abyss Odyssey (I've heard this sucks, but I like the studio enough to get everything they do at some point)
STALKER bundle (never played these)
Styx (been yearning for a good, legit, stealth game. Hopefully this is it)
Strife (curious about this, enough to spend 2 dollars, even if I dislike it)
Blackwell Epiphany (still have to play the one before this one, so won't get to this for a long while)
