Bioshock Infinite is a good game because it is fun to play.

What's urbodys opinion on Edge of Space? Is it more polished than starbound?

Let's put it this way: I bought it on Desura, never got a Steam key, and the dev puts more effort into the goddamn "HI ARK-CO-NAUTS!!!!" "news" emails that contain more lore than they do "so this is happening with the game" than s/he does into developing the actual game.

The game itself is essentially unplayable. At the moment, it's still in the Jumping Simulator phase despite having been in development for, what, three, four years now and on the market for two? Apparently there's tons of internet meme poo poo like Saoshyant says, but I'd be surprised if you even bothered to put enough time into the unwieldy thing get far enough to see any of it.

Also, it's choppy on my computer that runs Assassins Creed 4 at 50+ FPS on nearly max settings, so there's that, too.

People enjoy movies and other things, like games, that are otherwise considered not to be well made.

p.s. all of you people need to get Bulletstorm if you haven't already.

Doesn't look like any accidental crazy deals. Guess they may have learned their lesson by now.

EDIT: Battleblock Theatre for $1.49. Probably on purpose, though.

That's unfortunate. Not very good as in the same way Civ V wasn't very good before the expansions?

Thoughts on The Long Dark? I've never really gotten into one of these survival-type games, but I really like the aesthetic of this one.

Also the last set of release notes has this line:

* Major overhaul on the Wolf Struggle system.

which seems like it came right out of @thestrangelog

i'd also add that the dlc is also a must buy and that if it goes on sale, people should just grab the goty version of dishonored. i can't wait for the sequel to be announced/released, but i'm also glad that they're taking their time with it and not rushing

Almost exactly. It's like they learned very specific lessons from BNW and discarded everything else in favor of The New poo poo, and the new poo poo is exactly that.

Nothing that's on sale is registering on my wishlist either. A couple of items are 50% or 40% off but I have to go to the actual store page to see the discount.

Any thoughts on how Sengoku compares to the other Paradix titles? That seems like about the only thing on my wish list discounted enough for me to purchase on a whim, but now I can't recall why I put it on my wish list in the first place.

Still tempted by 40K; Armageddon, too -- anyone tried it yet?

RE4, with the caveat of "I've never played a PC version of it so I don't know how good the port is".

I'll come back in an hour to browse Steam when the usual traffic jam clears up a little, by then the prices should be adjusted too.

My first thought is Trails in the Sky is not participating in the sale and that's a disappointment

You may look at it and think 'Hey, that's a pretty good deal' but it's not.

Just Don't Do It.

e: Also if you haven't played Resident Evil 4 get that. It still holds the distinction of being the best action game ever, and the port is great.
