    Cthulhu Saves the World alone is worth the price.

    Oh great, a game on today that has 66% off on the main and all its DLC. Thank God I didn't buy it and its DLC on the Autumn sales for 50% off.

    FUCK YOU STEAM

    I'm assuming you're talking about Sniper Ghost Warrior, yeah? There's only 2 games on sale today, and SGW is the only one with DLC.

    It was available for much cheaper than 50% off on the Autumn sale. It's $10.19 today, but you could have had it for $5.99 on the daily deals rather than the $14.99 you must've paid. Did you miss it? 24-25 Nov.

    Why be angry at Steam when it's your fault for missing the sale? It seems fucking retarded to me. If you want to be angry at someone for spending five-ish dollars that you didn't have to, then you should be angry at yourself.

    In future, use a Steam price tracking tool if you're concerned that a game might come on sale for a few dollars less tomorrow.

    Here's Sniper Ghost Warrior's: http://www.steamprices.com/us/app/34830/sniper-ghost-warrior

    It was on sale for as little as $4.99 in May and July on one day sales earlier this year. That let's you know the ballpark price you can expect to find SGW on sale in the future.

    It's curious that City Interactive S.A. decided to increase the regular price of SGW from $19.99 to $29.99 in October. It's almost like they were preparing to rake in extra money from the 50-80% off sales we've just been through by inflating the base price.

    ...

    Fable 3, earlier today.

    And don't get preachy. I'll get angry at whatever the fuck I like.

    I don't reccomend it.

    I was super hyped for it.

    It was crap. :\

    Well, for 5 bucks I'd buy it. I bought it for like 90. -_-

    When I saw brink on special I went and googled a review for it (as you do). This was the preview thingy for one of the first results

    Cheers guys. I think I'll give it a pass. Too many other games to get through.

    I do use reviews from time to time but often I find myself disagreeing so I thought I would check and see if DLP had anything to say about it.

    Terraria is the only good one today, if you don't already have its basically Minecraft but 2D and with more monster murder.

    I never got into Minecraft or Terraria. I did not see the fascination people had with it but have been impressed with some creations in Minecraft. Don't think I have the patience for these types of games.

    Eh I can see that I suppose, I've really enjoyed it though. To me its like one of the old school Legend of Zelda games except instead of a hook shot or a boomerang you can construct an impregnable death fortress complete with a lava and spike moat and cackle maniacally while taking potshots with your plasma cannon at the Goblin Army in front of you or the pack of Hellbeasts behind you.

    Lawl I know I'm just saying impregnable Death Fortress is the part that needs to be focused on. Also I need to start playing again I got bored after I went down to hell and mined up the stuff for all the Molten items, its hilariously after that point.

    Terraria had me loosing interest in it fast with it's zero in game help or hints at crafting or real direction. Then I sat and played it for hours and hours one day. The start is hard as hell, but read wiki's to get a feel for it, the middle of the game is fun, and the end parts in the jungle and dungeon and hell just get chaotic as shit. Had tons of fun with it, even though it gets hella tedious.
