Sleeping Dogs complete with all the DLC for $8. Worth it?
If you like open world games, hong kong style action flicks, or kung fu and one-liners, then yes. It's a pretty fun game, and it has a decent amount of depth to it.
I bought the DLC a while ago and never got around to playing it. The sidequestsI thought were mostly pointless but I've never really been much for sidequests to begin with. The only ones I did were the street fight ones because I think it unlocked new moves? I can't really remember. As for the game itself I enjoyed it much more than other open world style games. The shooting is pretty solid and the hand to hand was surprisingly good and fun to do. Also when I discovered I could hold the door open while driving that was pretty fun for a while just checking people as I drove.
Got Planetary Annihilation. At least I can enjoy the game now without having to play people :-p plus lol 15 bucks for a game that was 60 and still isn't technically "officially" released :-p
I'm at $10 from cards alone and still rising. Nothing worth spending it on that I didn't already have, though.
Also, X rebirth is on flash sale right now(and for the next five hours from this post) for a decent price. If you're into freelancer, privateer, or other flying around and building things/trading/shooting nefarious sorts/being shot at for being a nefarious sort etc games, pick it up. It caught a lot of flak early on because it was broken to buggery, but it's fixed up pretty well now, and there's new features and content being added pretty frequently.
Found out I missed out on my first 3 summer sale cards because I was level 7, not level 8. In previous sales, you only had to be level 5. Upon further analysis, Steam levels are a hilarious joke (I've never even thought about Steam levels for 2 seconds prior to this).
Experience seems to be almost entirely based on crafting badges. Since the winter sale, I've only played through 3 games with drops, so I sold the cards for 2 of them and that paid for the Hotline Miami cards I didn't have. Crafted that and now I'm a cool kid at level 8.
Fun facts - if you sell enough shit on steam within a 12 month period, steam makes you promise that you're definitely really paying taxes/not a US citizen on that money you're gaining via the market.
I'm not deep enough into Risk of Rain to have a completely formed opinion of it yet. So far, I'm happy I picked it up at $2.50 but I think I would have been unhappy getting it for much more.
I was on quite a streak not buying anything so far this sale, when Castle Crashers at $1.50 caught my eye. Then I realized there was a bundle for both that and Battleblock Theater for a whopping $2.50. Done. First blood has been drawn.
I disagree. I found the humor to be too absurdist. The superpowers were gimmicky and the plot was a bore. It's still a perfectly good sandbox game, but I'd wait until it goes for $5, even though that probably won't be until the next sale.

Steam will show you all games that have card drops.
