Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel are probably my most played games of the past six months.

Mind you, this is largely because my son is obsessed with it in the way I obsess about square buttons.  It is, however, the best story shooter since Half Life 2 and I love pretty much everything about it.  At this price, rock solid:

Free is good, right?

Good for the next 1.5 days by the look of things...

For some reason linking another account to my Steam account makes me uncomfortable.

The Great Whale Road is part of the Halloween Steam sale, $11.99 until November 1.

The sale coincides with the release from beta of several parallel story lines.  I played these about a month or two ago when they were still in development and they are a lot of fun.  Because the geography is pretty much the same in all the different branches, you get a little bit of the Age of Decadence effect of seeing the same story told from different perspectives.

At first blush this looks like a Viking game, and if that helps sales, so be it.  But it's really a pre-Viking game about the Dark Ages in Northern Europe.  And as far as I can tell it's the only game out there that covers this period (7th century) apart from the original Brytenwalda mod for Mount and Blade.

I prefer this to Expeditions Viking.  It's a simpler game with elegant art depicitions of sub-Roman Europe.  Combat is a bit abstracted, but it's not a bad system once you get used to it (you have to approach it in the spirit of SLA Marshall's theories about what really happens in small unit actions).

I have not played it since the beta branch went live, so I don't know which changes it ended up with, but it's still a fun game even if a constrained budget didn't allow for all the changes that were being considered back in August.

I've been holding out for some sort of Total War: Warhammer Commander Edition or something that bundles up some DLCs with the base game for one low, low price.

Anyone see that on the horizon?  I can wait for a Xmas sale, but $13.50 is pretty sweet.  The DLCs will drive that price way up, though, even on discount.

@Toonces:  That's near inevitable by my lights, but with TW:W II just out, I think the Holiday Sale is your earliest opportunity...

Not for both I & II plus DLC.

CA has been exceptionally tight with their sale pricing on TW:Warhammer. 

They openly stated their initial sales for TW:W bested anything that came before.  They're keeping prices high because it's been a hot seller for them. 

I expect they'll drop the sale prices on the Warhammer #1 during the holidays, to around 50% Off, in order to hook more people into the series.  However, the discounts of the DLC won't be as high, and Warhammer #2 stuff will remain at or near full retail for quite awhile.


These are only my estimations.  I think my fortune telling is solid, though.
