I'd play Dark Souls I first. If you actually take your time and play smart, there's no reason you should get wrecked.

 

I think people overestimate Souls difficulty. They aren't even supposed to be hard per se, they just aren't forgiving. If you make a mistake, the Souls games have made it a point that it's your fault you made that mistake, and gives you plenty of room to then improve the next time you try something. They don't hold your hand either, they don't tell you what way to go and trust that you're smart enough to decide whether you should be there or not.

 

I think people call them hard just because so many games hold your hand and are incredibly forgiving these days, so the Souls games in comparison are a lot more difficult.

I played Path of Exile (aRPG) hardcore and a lot people said Dark Souls was amazing, it's similar to aRPG, right?  I'mma go check it out..   I need something to kill time when dota has me @ rage status

 I know it's a very long and so I probably won't have time to invest in it, with uni and 2 jobs

Guys what about Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days for pc?  It costs under $3 on Steam and Amazon.com.  What do you think of the game?

[razor767]

Picked up The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

[Acciunt]

The wolf among us for just 6.24, I couldn't resist!

Also, really debating Bulletstorm for 4 bucks

[.spider.]

Bought both Kane&Lynch games couldn't resist.

Gaben nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My wallet is broken but my library is growing. I honestly don't know why I by these games on sale. I only spend a max of $10 on a sale item and it has to have everything ie complete edition. After discovering Steam sales My library went from 2 games to 390 games. Why must I give in to these sales. Oh wait The walking Dead season 2 and The wolf among us are on sale at 75% off. Steam take my money. Does anyone else have a problem like I do? I like to call myself a collector.

[razor767]

Just got Valiant Hearts, that's 4 games so far.

[_Leigh]

I've bought a total of 9 games so far, but most were from the under $5 category. 

 

 

PS. If anyone's looking for a good, story driven, indie and cheap game I recommend Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons  and Bastion. Both games are under $4 aud

[skywake]

I've only got GTA: Vice City so far. Because Nostalgia. Hopefully there'll be some great deals in the next few days, very tempted to get Alien Isolation but I reckon the price is only going to keep falling so I can wait. My backlog is massive as it is.

Should I get CS:GO for $10 or 3Dmark for $5?

 

I don't know, I have $11.87 cents

A game that potentially offers months of great fun or an overrated benchmarking software to more accurately compare your epeen with that of others. Does that help your choice?

Haha, definitely. CS:GO might get cheaper though. It was 7.99 a few days ago.

[razor767]

Is Never Alone worth getting?

Is Never Alone worth getting?

I would hold off on that game. But that is just me. I don't pay more than $10 unless its a complete pack. I'm going to wait till its below $5.

 

Here is a negative review on it. This is not my review.

 

First things first, the game is short, but that's not a point against it. It's not over before it starts, and the pacing is okay. However, the game is interspersed with (optional, but constantly unlocking) videos explaining the culture of the people the game is based on.

As a cultural exploration, it's okay. Production values of the videos are fine, but the content is mildly interesting, not enthralling.

As a game, it's just not very good, or very fun. The mechanics can be finicky in a way that break not only with platforming conventions, but it's own rules. If you're climbing, you can jump backwards away from the surface by pushing away from the wall and hitting Jump. However, you can't jump backwards from a standing position. You have to turn around first. But, you can't just turn around, since if you even just tap a direction, you not only turn, but move in that direction, which changes your location and possibly makes it so you'll not longer be able to jump and grab the ledge you could have if only you could just jump backwards. Or just turn around without moving. Or if the ledge-magnetization was more forgiving (it's inconsistent).

You end up dying and returning to checkpoint (after a few seconds unskippable "oh dear" cutscene from the other character) quite often, but rarely because you didn't know what to do, but because the game fails to execute on your intent. If the platforming was tight, I would have completed the game in even less time, and enjoyed it more. But despite a patch fixing some of the behavior, I doubt they'll fix the fundamental platforming to make it actually fun.

I think the people making this game enjoyed it a lot more than you'll enjoy playing it. Can't quite recommend it.
