Probably some Ubisoft games and DLC?

How do the sale badges work as far as decorating your profile go? I got some ribbons from the first one and some garland on my top showcase for the second one, but I didn't notice any change after the third one.
I think it's just a re-release of the original PC Port from way back when rather than the slightly enhanced re-release that FF7 got a little while back.
I certainly don't recall anything about any enhancements to 8 anyway.
i've played the game and its free dlc and it's a hard one to recommend, really
the story goes interesting places and the game is a real tour of beautiful audiovisual landscapes, but the way the game works is very trial and error-y and there's never real interesting mechanics in it, it's just a very rigid puzzle with one solution that you have to stumble in the dark to figure out and then robotically execute. there's also a rng element that can just go NOPE! and that's half an hour of play down the drain. this means rewatching cutscenes, redoing everything in a very slow animations interface with the posibility that even if you do everything right you still lose.
it's fucked up.
there's an easy mode and the option to remove the rng and that way you can easily enjoy the story and the style without running into those annoyances but it also kind of undermines the whole point of the game. it's supposed to be unfair, it's supposed to be unreasonable, it's a fucked up game about fucked up situations, the right way to approach this kind of "whatever the cost" themes is by making the stakes really high and sometimes really bullshitty because nothing puts you in that position quite like being in such a fucked up situation yourself
so i'd say go for it if any of that sounds interesting to you, maybe beat the first two chapers on normal mode and then just go back and set it on easy+no rng as soon as you feel frustrated and just enjoy the story. use those two first chapters to get an idea what this game's trying to say and then pretend you're playing the rest of the game this way
it's a pretty decent game if you play it like that imo
That thing changes all the time. A few days ago it said 4 thousand something. Currently says 10105 for me (US store).
Alice: Madness Returns is fantastic, although the platforming isn't particularly challenging.

Dying Light worth it if I never plan on buying the season pass or any dlc full stop? Also, can you just join random games, or do you need to join friends?
Those stupid chores, tho.

I didn't buy any DLC and loved the base game.
Dunno about the online never did that. But it's a coop game so joining ransoms before you beat it might not be fun.

you can set it to public/friends only/singleplayer/etc.
i've had it on friends only so far tho not sure why since i don't like multiplayer
also dunno about the season pass, i generally feel like buying a season pass for a game you haven't played is a bad idea since you don't know if the game's gonna gel with you
dunno the business sense of buying the game and then the season pass, but the currently released dlc doesn't seem worth having at all
You have control over who you want in the online and if they need permission to join. IIRC it works similar to Dead Island in that it will tell you if there are people nearby in your level and story progression.

It has a magic booster like like the level boost from 7 and some new features to speed the game up or cheat but it's very much the original pc version with the added bonus of having it actually work on modern cards. Something which had to be done with a fan made patch on the older version.
You'll also need to download the ogg bgm mod before playing since it uses crappy midi versions. There are some other mods for it too but overall it's not a release SE put much effort into.
It also has chocobo world which is a minigame that the original needed but it was never released in NA or EU.
I wouldn't even call it good and I own it on PC and PS3. Just because it's one of the "best" 3D platformers on Steam doesn't mean it's good. Beggars can't be choosers I know but with emulation being a thing you don't really have to limit yourself to the PC platform.
But seriously Rayman 2 on GOG if you want an actual good 3D platformer for the PC. Even has a 16:9 hack!

Thanks, I might get it.
It's just I recall Giant Bomb mentioning something about the game (or season pass) going up in price because of the amount of content in one of the upcoming updates. My memory is bad and can't remember what they were on about though. I don't tend to buy season passes at all.
there's an actual upcoming dlc that is like new story and new areas and stuff that's maybe gonna be a bit more deserving of the money but the things out right now sound super lame and for 30 bucks (that's actually more than the game costs right now) you should just wait
it's not like the game is that good anyways

If you go to the restaurant by star tours tell them jawmuncher sent you. They'll know what you want.
Don't do it, he just wants you to settle that bill he ran out on.

Steam Holiday Sale 2015 ARG
"The forgotten road connects failure and rewards", apparently.
Oh yes, Satellite Reign has an amazing atmosphere. It's a beautifully detailed cyberpunk city, streets soaked with rain, neon and chrome, oppressive police at every corner, a disparate population that just feeds into the sense of alienation. It's so good. Great soundtrack too, with pieces by the likes of Perturbator and Protector 101.

Looks like the watch_dogs price glitch was fixed at some point during the night and I'm out.
