Anyone that can vouch on Elite Dangerous without a flight stick, how is it on keyb^mouse or controller etc.

It works fine with a controller but believe me it is roughly 100 times better with a decent HOTAS flight stick!!!

Game link for you: http://www.kongregate.com/games/darkrealmstudios/pandemic-2

I know most of you guys don't like nerdcubed, but he did a decent video a year ago where he played both back to back so you can see the differences for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5edMu-Y-ylA

Do people not like nerd cubed? He's bloody brilliant. Still not sure if I'm as keen on his channel since the recent reboot, though...

Her Story £2.99 gotta be worth a punt at that price

 

[Fulax]

Whats the PC port of Dark Souls 2 like?
I loved and loathed no.1, but I found the port to be pretty crap.

Less awful but you'll still want to use a controller. The SotFS edition is a fantastic game regardless.

Absolutely. It's awesome

 

[CaptainRAVE]

No daily deals, excellent.

Spent around £30 so far and as I'm pretty sure there will be no more deals, this is my lot this year

DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin DX11 upgrade - £7.99
Broforce - £5.99
Galacide - £1.39
King's Quest - Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember - £0.69
Quake Live - £1.39
Rocket League - £10.49

oh and gifted Spelunky to a mate @ £2.74 makes a total of £30.68.

Happy with that.

May pick up Homeworld Remastered and Kentucky Route Zero later...

I got this

No other place was cheaper, I very rarely buy from steam tho.

 

[Duke]

Steam don't seem to be doing the snow globe / trading and other stuff this year it seems?

 

[mark43]

Bought so far

Rocket League - £10.49
Galacide - £1.39
King's Quest - Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember - £0.69
Quake Live - £1.39

Not to be annoying as you've just purchased it, but Rocket League is £8.40 at GMG with their 20% off code if anyone is after it.

Steam redeemable?

I did see that. I had some Steam credit so just bought it through that anyway.

I do look at the key sites. I will be getting MGS5 from Kinguin, Instant Gaming or G2A etc for instance.

 

[almostgfx]

Anyone discovered any hidden gems?

I picked up Lords of the fallen for £5 thought it was worth a punt at that price

 

[kration]

King's Quest - Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember - £0.69
Quake Live - £1.39
Spelunky @ £2.74

Another set of good games I've now been persuaded to purchase...

Ha fair play. I loved Spleunky for ages. If you start getting addicted it's hard to put down. Great to pick up and play for 10mins here and there also.

 

[NvidiaDan]

Why would they, check out the sales stats

http://steamspy.com/sale/

Why?

Why? Just bought it

Community is flooded with Cheaters and Smurfs as it is and dropping the price just encourages it

 

[TheVoice]

Hovering over the buy button for

Kentucky Route Zero

This was RPS game of the year for 2013 and the last episode is out soon (apparently..)

hmm, what to do...

KRZ is weird but oddly compelling and satisfying to play. I really like it and can't quite put my finger on why, but for that same reason I imagine a lot of people wouldn't enjoy it. It's not a game you play to succeed or even for the story because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense when viewed that way, but if you just go along with it there's a lot to like.

I'm actually quite glad there's been fairly long periods between each act too, having them all within weeks or months of each other would potentially feel a bit overwhelming. Don't forget to check out the three loosely-related 'demos' too:
