Blood Bowl on steam sale today. What do you guys think about it? and +10 bucks for only 20->23 races?
Blood Bowl is incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating. It's quite literally a graphical representation of a tabletop dice game, so EVERYTHING depends on dice rolls. It's annoying, especially at first, to get fucked over by the dice. I guess if you're a fan of dice games you'd love it. It's nothing like a typical sports game.

It is good times once you get some games under your belt, start with elf race and go from there. Hit me up on steam if you want some tips/games.

Has anyone played To The Moon?

From what I gather it has a really awesome story, and I'm hesitant to check out review or videos due to spoilers. In steam is says RPG, what sort of RPG elements does it have aside from playing a role? Does it have replay value?

The gameplay is rather weak (it's there just to help advance the story). It's sort of an adventure game (point and click) with JRPG graphics and very few puzzles. The story of the game unfolds backwards, so on your first playthrough (4ish hours long) you won't understand everything that is happening right away. It does have a small replay value based on that story, so you can catch the little things you missed on the first playthrough.

With that being said, To The Moon is one of the best "games" (it works more like an interactive movie/book) I played in the last few years. Honestly, if you like a good story you can't go wrong here, buy this game right away, it is totally worth the price tag. While I was playing the game it felt like there were a bunch of ninjas peeling onions in front of my eyes, it's one of the best and most emotional story I have ever seen in a game. I hope to see a movie based on this game someday, that would be amazing.

I'm gonna leave the official game trailer here. I watched it before I played and I don't think it spoiled anything. Just make sure you don't read the comments on Youtube which might contain spoilers.

Blood Bowl on steam sale today. What do you guys think about it? and +10 bucks for only 20->23 races?
Blood bowl is pretty much the ultimate strategy game. If you go in expecting Madden, you're not gonna like it. It's like a mix between American football and Warhammer. Most of your actions are controlled by the dice, so you need a really good understanding of probabilities in order to succeed. Most of the people who complain about "bad luck" are just terrible players. There's a significant amount of strategy required, and by significant, I mean that you're not gonna be any good until you've got 50+ hours into the game.

Also, you need to be okay with having your star players you've spent 100+ games building dying. Because they will.

If you played tabletop, it's a pretty reasonable adaptation (with a couple of omissions -- break tackle doesn't work right, and not all the star players are in the game, but other than that, it's pretty good). If you've never played the tabletop, and wanna see what it's about, I have a couple videos on youtube with heavy notation explaining a game to you.

Missed this, but if someone that bought this pack has an extra Skyrim key around, I can buy it at a reasonable price.

Get the legendary edition. Far as I can tell the chaos edition is just a couple more teams, and a stadium. The LE is a great deal. After you get the hang of it the game is addicting and a ton of fun.

Any opinion on Dead Island? Is it a better game multiplayer vs. solo? Thanks.
I played through it with my brother a month ago. It can be fun if you make it fun, but the game itself is pretty bad. I definitely struggled to enjoy it near the end.
