Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front (and all the DLC) on sale (-25%)

Dying Light Enhanced Edition 23.99 @ Steam. Anyone have this? I am almost done with Alan Wake (which is a super game, love it) but I want...need...more horror (-themed game, that is).

I think Alien:Isolation is currently one hundred percent free, in a way, right now.  >:D

[JasonPratt]

As for a real sale: Ark:Survival Evolved is 67% off this weekend at Steam, and its first non-free DLC Scorched Earth is 51% off. {reading that again} ...um, yeah, 51% off. Weird. So, in US dollars, that's $9.89 and $9.79 respectively -- which I guess explains the odd discount for Scorched. There are also two rather substantial free DLCs, and tons of Steam workshop mods.

The weekend discount coincides with the release of a major new update (technically the game is still in alpha, but it plays like any major AAA game still being patched and regularly adding content) which allows players to build legitimate underwater bases. And to put laser helmets on your pet Mosasaur.  :D Also, unicorns will now spawn on the map, albeit only one at a time -- this being perhaps the "alpha" form (the untamable super-form) of the new large horses which players can now tame and ride, and which allows players to create lassos now.

Of course, if you don't want to level up to science-fiction dinosaur action from stone age tech, you can always play a more "primitive" set of extended tech. (That's one of the free DLCs, though I'm not sure how supported it is anymore.) ARK is pretty much the best dino-hunting game on the market right now, whether single-player or multi, and might as well be a legitimate Land of the Lost (original series) video game. I highly recommend it.

I love how early access games can sell DLC with a straight face.  ::)

if you get it let me know your opinion. I've been on the fence with this one for awhile, just looked at some youtube vids on it. I'm just not sure how much combat is in the game, there's a lot of parkour elements so im just not sure. I don't mind having to run or a melee focus but i like my zombie games with some guns at least.I'll probably look at some more video's.

Hey Gus what about the Evil Within ... http://store.steampowered.com/app/268050/  another one on my list for future consideration, when the horror theme strikes me. Of course i still have Dead space 2 in my games list unplayed.

If only they had an actual release schedule to give.
Thing is, searching their Steam forum for release date shows they silence such questions.

What about console games that already have the DLC on the disc of the game you're buying and still have to pay extra for?

I checked out Evil Within Budd but it did not grab me the same way Dying Light did. I haven't had time to get back to my pc today and started thinking maybe I should just switch over to Dishonored 2 - but I don't think it's quite scary enough. I also haven't played a strategy game of any kind in a while and would love to start up a Medieval 2 TW or Warhammer TW campaign soon. I also miss The Witcher 3 - got to get back to that soon too.

PC games have that as well.
I remember the ruckus it caused (and how quickly it dissipated) when Bioshock 2 was found doing it.

That type of thing has been going on for a long time. SSI's Panzer General II which was released in 1997 had a hidden scenario on its CD that had to be unlocked in order to access it The big difference between then and now was that it was free.

Budd I bought Dying Light EE - fired it up just for a second and I can tell you straight away that the music grabbed me immediately...very John Carpenteresque.

Also Tyranny (Tranny) is on sale at Steam for ~30.00 right now.

Post up your impressions when you get some play time. Worried that it's mostly running, without any gunning. You got me in the mood for some creepy games. Think I'll load up dead space 2 this weekend and give that a go.
