You just know they'd reserve the ranger helmet for the foil badge though.

Rogue Legacy has extended the pre-order sale till the end of Sunday (PT). So, grab the demo and get ready to save some money. Soundtrack included, DRM-free and Steam, and there's a quick look for it too.
Edit: Also, the release is on Thursday (June 27th).

Should've been here while the change was in process! Mass riots and hysteria

I'm sooooo hyped for this.
You don't need to touch Fallout 3. Just go right to New Vegas.

No, NV stands alone. In fact if you're gonna play NV it's better to just forget about 3 altogether.

It's overblown. In the campaign there are some mouse issues but other than that its fine.

I had decided to wait on this until it hit a bundle, the pre-order sale was supposed to end last night and make things easy for me. Now I feel like buying it again.

Here's some quick and dirty screenshots I took.
Its a preview on what we might be getting.

Ohhhhhh. I said to myself not to buy anything until the sale but Patrick and Vinny are close to swaying me. The genelogical stuff looks mental. What's £6 right?

Three $3 games on GOG, that is what. At least that is what I was telling myself. I will just have to buy Strike Commander, Clive Barker's Undying, and System Shock 2 anyway.

What's the consensus on Evoland?
Very true. Though these days I seam to grabbing more stuff on GOG than is added. That and my shelf OCD means I only buy 5 items at a time (it has to be neat and tidy!).
Pretty sure I can die happy now because I've finally heard everything.
Little confused finding group invite on the new profiles, but I sent an invite
Thanks!

Just beat Bioshock 2. Was pretty pleasantly surprised with how awesome a bookend it was to the first game. While it may never be considered the best in the series, it's probably the funnest game in the series to play. Bioshock 2 easily has the best combat in the series.
Bioshock 2's story integrates itself well and compliments the story of the first, they did an awesome job of injecting all of these new characters and new story into the lore of Rapture. You even get to visit numerous locations mentioned in the lore of the first Bioshock that you never got to see like The Little Sisters Orphanage or Fontaine Futuristics, which I thought was pretty cool. I was kind of dreading a retread of all the old environments from the first game but instead they just fleshed out more of Rapture and did a pretty awesome job of it.
They did an excellent job of paying homage to the first Bioshock.
Edit: I think I'll install and play through Alan Wake next.

Hahaha. Oh come on do you really think I impose such silly restrictions on my buying habits? Though I do get an unusual sense of smug satisfaction when it all lines up.

I have yet to buy anything from GOG because I still feel negatively about their marketing ploy of "shutting down" without prior notice for a couple days.
But I might finally get over that and pick up some AD&D games from them eventually.

You have to put it in context of when the game was actually released.
Microsoft introduced GFWL, a horrible DRM service that cost $50 a year, poor port with sloppy KB/M controls, and required Vista.
There were some serious outcries.
COD doesn't seem to popular on PC.
Its one of the most popular games in the world and it barely seems to break the top 10 on Steam.
Clive Barker's Undying is one of the most underrated shooters of all time.

I don't see dishonored on the list. Ran out of keys maybe? Also, that comes out to $7.50 each, what's the over/under that FNV goes on sale for 75% off at $5.00 during the upcoming sale?
I'm sure summer sale isn't next week cause I said so
I suppose you are right, technically it would be Doom 3 BFG then but arguably the original release is still the definitive version.
Unless something has changed in regards to the modding scene.
The ultimate argument. Wins every time.
fixed.
Its funny because I've never actually gotten past the first half of undying.
I was quite impressed with the first half though and I still remember it quite vividly.

I played it for the first time a few months ago. Other than a few annoying enemies I thought it was pretty solid.
The final boss is probably the worst final boss of all time though.

NV is more polished in many areas, but it has nowhere near the wow moments that FO3 has. lol I found so many crazy things in FO3 that it was a blast sometimes just to watch the other NPCs react to each other. I personally recommend FO3 over NV, but I realize I'm in the minority on this one.
I'm getting the feeling that Dreamworks was rushed by EA.
EDIT: Wow this is interesting.
Dreamworks Interactive > EA Los Angeles > Danger Close > Dice Los Angeles

EA is ridiculous with the names.

Someone has to ask. Is any of the Magicka DLC worth picking up?

That is interesting, clicking on Dreamworks Interactive takes you straight to DICE Los Angeles.
Didn't even realize that Danger Close had changed their name...although that doesn't really surprise me.

What games have gone on sale for 75% so far this weekend during the Paradox sale aside from the marqueed ones? I just realized there were doing multiples each day, and wanted to find out if I missed anything.

Yeah, people who prefer having a huge open-world to explore with some pretty damn crazy sights prefer Fallout 3, people who enjoy deep RPG's with a shitton of branching storylines and different types of weapons prefer New Vegas.
I love them both for different reasons.
Lol at New Vegas being more polished, though. That game is one of the buggiest I've ever played.

Can I have an invite to the Neogaf group? I always thought it was locked for some reason.

The Vietnam one or whatever is hilarious, the rest are skippable.
That's for GAF Steamgifts invites. I guess this thread should be perfectly fine for asking for GAF Steam invites.
Nope that is normal. It is a weird mix of Swedish, English, and gibberish.

Also known as Swenglish.
In terms of just content DLC, you're looking at: Vietnam, The Stars Are Left, The Other Side of the Coin, and Dungeons and Daemons.
