The atmosphere is probably a big part of it too. I wasn't immersed by it - it's not that realistic due to obvious game aspects/limitations. But the setting is really interesting. Even the plants and background past the fences and all of that are interesting to look at. It's less like most free-roam RPGs and more like watching the character go around these places killing monsters, talking to people, etc. With you still getting your say, of course.

Anyone who fully dislikes quick time events should try Asura's Wrath - PS3 or Xbox360.

Isn't that the one with the giant buddha and being like Action Movie - The Game?

Great game, IMHO.

More like Action Anime - The Game.

Eitherway, I've seen it before. Pretty awesome.

Not only does it do QTEs quite well (being a core part of gameplay but with few instant-death punishments for failure, instead usually lowering your score and/or health), it's also gloriously meta.

Spoiler: Real Actual Spoilers contained therein (click to show/hide)

The last round of the True Final Boss is a QTE slugfest...but the True Final Boss uses his own QTEs against yours. Button prompts that correspond to no real controller pop up on screen in time with the boss' attacks, and you have to counter with your own. It's brutal and awesome and it allows you to see just how badly you're beating the boss by the way he "fails" more and more often.

WarZ is on sale for 75% off. It's not even worth that. Buy it if you want to properly hate it.

Kerbal Space Program is 33% off till Monday. Not sure if it'll go lover than that. It's early access after all.

Witcher 2 is 66% off. No comment on that.

Witcher 2 and KSP make me wish I wasn't completely broke right now. :[

Antichamber is on sale today. Never before have I enjoyed being repeatedly trolled by a puzzle game.

Holy crap. Lateral thinking is half the game.

Try it while drunk, and/or under the influence of other things for a more thorough mindfuck of an experience. (Worth it)

It's not steam, but gamersgate has Dominions 3 on sale for 7.49$. It's probably one of the best turn based strategy games I've ever played.

Nnn, also not on Steam but... I don't want to resurrect a 6 month old thread for it.

Good Old Games is having a summer sale at the moment. You can get the entire selection of Baldur's Gate 1 + 2, Icewind Dale 1 + 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 + 2 as well as Planescape Torment and two others called Dragon Shard and Demon Stone for $21.10.
