Not like its expensive to begin with and I preordered to get TL1 free. But I still think the statement is funny.

There fans started with Torchlight. Some probably haven't bought the new one yet. Don't be bitter that you paid a little more.

Can anybody confirm if any of those games are worth getting or if there are any other good ones I am missing (feel free to name any game I have literally only bought like 3-6 games over the last few years which include Skryim, Diablo 3, Mass Effect 3, and WoW expansions)

I'm honestly looking for a good competitive shooter I haven't played one in a really long time.

TL2 is a definite recommendation. I bought two copies at full price for my husband and I and have absolutely no regrets. Can't say anything about the rest though.

Anybody have an opinion on Darksiders 2? I really wish there was a demo so I could see what it is like before buying

TL2 is definitely worth a play through (a single playthrough with a friend took me around 35-40 hours and there is a lot of "endgame" bonus levels, farming content, and replayability with a lot of different classes/specs), especially if you have a friend to play it with. It was a bargain at full price for the quality and content, so it's definitely a good buy when on sale.

I say Terraria is good but they creators stopped making content for the game so it got a ending now.
Also if you want a solid FPS you can try Planetside 2 it was released yesterday its a mmo fps to and there is constant battles everywhere.

What do you define as a 'single playthrough'?

Me and my friend finished it in about 9 hours I think, and we weren't exactly rushing (nor did we do every sidequest probably, but we took our time).

Oh dang I just looked at planetside 2 and it's free to play so that's definitely a safe bet to try out (I know most likely there are micro transactions).

Torch Light 2 looks like a definite buy with all of the compliments (and really positive metacritic scores), and Terraria seems safe being on sale for dirt cheap.

That was me and a friend going from start to finish on the hardest difficulty with a single character, doing all the side quests.

Terraria is like a 2d Minecraft, it's a lot of fun if you play a multiplayer server with someone. As someone else said, however, the creator stopped updating the game so what you see is what you get.

No. Terraria is an old school 2d action adventuer with construction elements like minecraft. I thought the same thing going in and I was pleasantly surprised. There are boss battles, secrets, gear and weapons to upgrade...the combat is a focus in this game, not a side feature. The action and adventure have a greatly different feel than Minecraft, but just as good.

Also, I'm liking the Darksiders II price as well...it seems like a more thought out God of War, though I did enjoy wasting time just smashing my way through those games.

TL2 is a must buy as well if you enjoy that genre or want to try the genre out.

**Verdugo** · 2012-11-21, 07:11 PM

Darksiders 2 for such price is a steal, really great adventure game.

As for DLCs, most of them are just weapons or armor sets from preorders that you will replace by level 10, or short optional dungeons, you wont miss anything by not buying them.

**Arcilux** · 2012-11-21, 07:13 PM

And now it begins for real, the server is down messages

How you know the Steam is really having a sale - you can't reach their website with any sort of consistancy

---------- Post added 2012-11-21 at 01:19 PM ----------

These sales are so dangerous, looking at my list of games I have bought on Steam I have:

30 games (not really that many, I know)

of which:

8 I have not played yet
5 I played and did not like. Fully regret purchasing them
9 I played and loved
8 I played and enjoyed but only a bit. No regrets, but if I could do it over may and may not have bought them

**Platinus** · 2012-11-21, 07:50 PM

Make sure not to miss out on some awesome indie games for up to 75% off.

**Howard Moon** · 2012-11-21, 08:07 PM

Why are you doing this to me?!! Cruel, cruel thread torturing me like this. :,(

**Scummer** · 2012-11-21, 08:15 PM

Oh damn!
Awesomenauts Skins are also 50% off.

Disco Voltar here I come!

**kreserb** · 2012-11-21, 08:19 PM

please. If you like RPG's do yourself a favor, pick up Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, they are both only 2.5€ and some very great games

**Howard Moon** · 2012-11-21, 08:23 PM

I'm going to wait and see if Torchlight 2 goes down to 10 Euro during Christmas. Yes, you may call me a cheap bastard :P

I picked up both a while back but sadly number 2 (my favorite) doesn't work and I've yet to fine out how to fix it.

**Arcilux** · 2012-11-21, 08:39 PM

There seems to be some hidden sales as well. Just noticed from my wishlist that Game of Thrones the Role Playing Game is 50% off as well, and the 2 game bundle is 75% off.

And of course that means that getting both games is cheaper than just the 1 game.

**Pendulous** · 2012-11-21, 08:43 PM

Dear sweet temptation, Magic 2013 Duels of the Planeswalker is 50% off. The game, expansion, and deck pack all for under $10 total. I can't afford it, but it's hard to resist.

**Sagryth** · 2012-11-21, 08:59 PM

Righty then, I'll play the waiting game and see if Dawnguard goes any lower. S:0
