Opinions on The Witcher 2 and Dragon Age: Origins?

Two of the best games out there.

I've got both, though I haven't played Dragon Age yet as I only picked it up very recently. The Witcher 2 is worth it imo.

Might have to get The Witcher 2, do you need to play the first one for it to make sense or is it fine just to get that?

Purchased The Witcher 2, unsure about Dragon Age atm. List of RPG's to play is getting bigger now. Thinking about Tomb Raider but might leave it until the Easter sale

Hmmm... Antichamber worth it?

Should be another Steam sale rule tbh, never ever purchase in the first 30 minutes of a deal going live. I'm sure they do it on purpose.

Well that sorta went against them on the first day tho when they had the Bioshock Infinite season pass on at somethin stupid like 80% off, people snapped it up at £3 only for them to suddenly change it to like 50% off.

As always the main rule is if its on flash sale or daily deals go for it, if the price looks to good to be true, snap it up

I wonder if Starbound will get a discount at all this sale. I'd like to try it out, but I'd prefer not to pay full price if possible.

You don't have to have already played the first game.

True sometimes deals can be incorrectly price in the consumers favour in the first few minutes, but ultimately there are more times when it is the reverse. So yes, too good to be true, buy as soon as you see it, beyond that wait 10-30 minutes to make sure the price is correct. If it looks too high vs previous sales, wait it out.

Also remember the Enhanced Steam addon for your browser, it will tell you if a game on the sale has previously been listed at a lower price.

Just picked up Shadow Warrior myself based on Total Biscuits WTF is . . . preview. Looks fantastic fun

Start from about 6 mins

You also need to be an expert in cryptology to figure out the crap menu system.

Wouldn't mind adding Resident evil 6 to my collection if it wins the community vote. Was hoping it would be less that £6 though.

So looks like steam have removed Resident evil 6 from the community vote and replaced it with Devil may cry :rolleyes:

. Hope my vote still counts toward a card...

Better not buy it then.
