Why are they basically giving it away? Does it have micro transactions?
Because the game isn't that good and no one is buying it. Pro tip: get the boomerang ASAP and the game is pretty much a breeze.

The quests in it suck too and just artificially inflate game time. It's all "go to all parts of the island to get these items for me" and fuck the volcanic area especially.

Well maybe I'll get a few hours of enjoyment out of it before stopping. For under a buck who cares.

Also great recommend on Creeper World 3. The game wouldn't be on my radar at all and it is a really fun little game to pick up and play here and there.

How is the Killer is Dead PC version? I'm not worried about the episode 3 bug since I have 6 cores, just the port in general. It's the only Suda51 game I never got around to playing on PS3 so $4 is hard to say no to.

One to watchSave 50% on Deathtrap on Steamnot 100% sure 9.99 is the price point but if diablo 2 style controls and loot/inventory/level up mechanics and tower defense interest you I would check it out. Tad slow at the start if you don't have friends to play with much like borderlands...

I picked up Endless Legend yesterday for $17 (50% off, I think). Only played it for 2 hours so far, and it seems sort of slow-paced compared to Civ V, but the UI is really cool and there's a lot of customization options.

I also picked up Endless Legend yesterday. I had a buddy who's played it a fair amount, and these are the same guys who did Endless Space, which I played a ton, so getting this seemed like an easy pick up. I see that the mechanics are somewhat similar to Endless Space, so hopefully it's just a bit of a good "upgrade" type game with the fun of a 4X game.

Looking for suggestions, if you guys don't mind helping out.

The MMOs I play tend to give me my fantasy fix, and so I'm looking for a shooter, but nearly every shooter that's "any good" is pretty competitive. I don't want that, because I want to be able to play casually and have a good time. Borderlands 2 was pretty perfect, but I also have an issue about playing games once you "beat" them, regardless of added DLC. Beat the main story of BL2 so I have a hard time going back. I dislike all the survival games as well. I just don't have fun running around a game where you spend 90% of the time doing nothing but hoping for a piece of cloth or some ammo.

I have a ton of games, like most of us, that I've never even played. Was looking at Fallout 3: GOTY or Fallout: New Vegas. I read the pros/cons debate over in the Fallout 4 thread on both of these, but these might fit the bill.

Team Fortress 2 I played for a couple hours with my teenage nephews. That was ok, only because the server I was on didn't have a bunch of try hards.

Any other suggestions? I appreciate it.

Borderlands 2 DLC Tiny Tina Adventure is well worth the playthrough. My Monday night group is about to start on the Borderlands Pre-Sequel and as a group of 4 that should be good for us. If you're looking for a shooter that's is not story driven, TF2 is pretty awesome. I have over 2000 hours in the game and it's great for burning 30 minutes or so. If you play on Nemu's servers, the player are very good and it's great fun.

The newest wolfenstein and its prequel. But they were already on sale so may have to wait for the final day where they will probably go back to that price to purchase.

Thanks! Story driven is ok, as long as it's not one I've already played. In BL2, I want to try out Tiny Tina's DLC, as well as level up to max some of the other classes, but I just don't have fun re-leveling through all the same material. I get bored, and quit. In MMOs I counter this by leveling up a different way, such as going the dungeon crawl route, or getting power leveled. Can't really do that in most story shooters.

I haven't put serious hours into anything in a long time outside of an MMO, and I can't wait to find the next game I'm excited about!

Are you looking for just any type of good first-person shooters? Or something with free-roaming?

I peeked at your Steam handle and your games list, and I don't see any of the games from the Half-life or Bioshock franchises. You should check those out if you haven't. Bioshock series is on sale right now for dirt cheap.

I like a good story. Borderlands was great. I even liked the Campaign of Call of Duty and Battlefield. I don't play FPS for the competition/multiplayer.

Free roaming usually lends more towards what I'm looking for, because of the story/quests, etc, but I don't mind being on rails if it has a good story to go with it. I keep going back to Borderlands, but that was a good mix of free roaming, story, and enough rails to keep things progressing nicely. I just have this retarded problem where I really don't like going back to a game once the story is done. Have tried going back, and got bored very quickly, because i felt I was doing everything all over again.

Do any of the BL2 DLCs give brand new leveling/starting areas? Or alternate leveling paths? I forget if they were all level 50+ content, the super duper extra awesome vault hunter mode or whatever it's up to now.

Shitty deals thus far honestly. Divinity Original Sin only 33%? Fuck off Valve.
Elite Dangerous is only 10% off. Good, recent games don't get great deals. Sucks there is no bundle deal for DOS with the DLC included from what I can tell.

Got Darkest Dungeon so far and the GTA 3 series as a pack. Hesitant to get more, as I still have three unplayed titles from the last sale - although to be fair, E:TW was a compensation purchase for putting a hundred hours into the pirated version

All of Borderlands DLC's are new areas. I've done them all, Torge's and Tiny Tina's are the best, but Hammerlocks and Pirates are good.

I think most of the BL2 DLC is dynamically difficult where there is a starting level but the enemies scale if you exceed that
