I tried it,being a big South Park fan but after an hour I found it went downhill and I lost interest.Button mashing isn't my favourite thing either.It does look exactly like the show and for that first hour it kept me entertained.Also,even in the sale it's not exactly cheap.

I would check out some reviews and gameplay vids just to be sure.

It's an RPG. It's too new for them to have given it a significant discount. I'm waiting for the November sale, by then it will likely be $30 or less and worth it.

The reviews I've heard all say it's both true to South Park and an excellent RPG even if you're only casually acquainted with the show (but find it funny!) If you don't find SP funny, don't bother because it's JUST like the show.

All the games I wanted didn't go to my set price to buy them at. Arma 3, RTW2, Walking Dead S1... I only bought "Brothers" for my kids. See you on Black Friday!

This is one for the record books for me. Bought a lot:

The Cursed Crusade (pretty to look at/fun sword play)
Fallout 3 (Haven't tried the pc version yet and hope it works as I have windows 7 and apparently it has issues with that)
The First Templar (Really liking this one so far. Okay graphics and decent sword play. Nice voice acting and story. A little rough but one of those games you can tell has a lot of heart and a lot of love went into making it)
Lego Marvel Super Heroes (silly fun)
Next Car Game (runs a bit rough but the damage physics are great)
Timeshift (haven't tried it yet)
Wargame: European Escalation (haven't tried it yet)

And I was gifted:

Battlestations: Pacific (haven't tried it yet)
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (haven't tried it yet)
Witcher 2 which I was able to gift again

Good sale for me, I bought more recently released games for a decent discount than old games for dirt cheap.

Games recently released that I waited patiently hoping they would get Steam Sale discount...
(saved 33-66% for waiting just a couple of months for sale instead of buying on release):
1. Dark Souls 2 - good hardcore ARPG so far, much better console port than DS1
2. Age of Wonders 3 - good Civ/M&M Heroes game so far
3. Divinity Original Sin - good hardcore RPG so far
4. Rome Total War 2 DLC (Julius Caesar and Hannibal at the Gates) - more campaigns and units woohoo

Cheap Steam Sale games I bought because of the dirt cheap price:
5. Borderlands 2 GOTY - picked up to co-op with SimHQ friends
6. Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes - picked up to try with mods
7. Space Empires V - picked up to try with mods

Also got a couple of nice gifts, thanks guys! will return the favor sometime!

Yup, I succumbed. . . .

Bought Wargame:Air Land Battle for $6.49!!!

Awesome game - great blend of RTS and real combined arms tactics.

I prefer it to its predecessor - European Escalation - there's something very satisfying about calling in an airstrike on unprotected targets!!

Managed to put the credit card away after that (thankfully!)

I bought very few things, the most significant being Wolfenstein NO for $30. The rest of my purchases were DLC on sale for Batman, Rome II, Metro LL, Aliens: CM, and a couple of other things I can't remember that add up to less than the $30 for Wolfenstein! So I spent less than $60, or one game price, for multiple things.

Oh, and I got gifted a couple of DLC as well, which was unexpected and appreciated! wink

I am now suffering my first bout of post-Steam Summer Sale angst. I should have bought X-Com for 5 bucks. I should have, I should have!
However, Batman: Arkham City is proving to be superb fun, even though I am absolutely inept at it (oh, X:Com and your turn-based combat!).

You'll get the hang of it. It's a long ride, but well worth the trouble. Great game. I love the combat system. Love being able to hide, swoop, kick the crap outta a few guys, escape from a mob, regroup, repeat.

As I mentioned earlier, most of what I bought was candy:

Don't Starve - Fun little diversion
FTL: Faster Than Light - I really like this one. Old school computer game style.
Rogue Legacy - Hard platformer, but fun. Nintendo-y. I have been compelled to keep playing it.
LEGO Marvel - Haven't loaded it yet, but I like LEGO Star Wars with my kid.
Castle Crashers - Haven't loaded it yet. Looks silly. Paid $1.50 on a whim from selling cards
Blockland - for my kid who loves LEGOS.
Trine, Trine2, Shadowgrounds, Survivor - Frozenbyte pack

...and some more substantial stuff:

Upgraded Skyrim and Dishonored to include all DLC
Deus Ex:HR - Stealth shooter with superhuman perks. How can I go wrong?
Borderlands 2 - Always been curious.

Checked out at just under my $60 budget. This ought to keep my busy for a while

Yeah I am getting post steam sale angst as well. I was good and only purchased one title (which I have completed) and am now asking myself "why did I not purchase those other titles I wanted."

Ohh well, there will be another sale and maybe those titles will be a little cheaper. At the end of the day I have enough with real life and current games to keep me going.... (I must keep reminding myself of that sigh )

The only TRUE Stealth crowd funded game.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

I didn't buy much this sale, though I was certainly prepared to, but most of the games I want I already have!

I picked up

-- LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
-- Divinity Original Sin (gift from friend)
-- Football Manager 2014
-- Sniper Elite V2

I should have bought Age of Wonders 3. And being a long time Total War player I considered Rome 2, but I suspect Europa Universalis has spolied me.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

You should have picked up Rome 2. It's been greatly improved with all of the patches.

Thanks Arthur. I'm getting the hang of glide kicks and ground takedowns, or whatever, now. Still no idea what to do with the riddler's traps. It is really cool being Batman, and the dynamic music is great.

It's a really good game indeed with some interesting "WTF" moments.
