I did enjoy "Darksiders" 1 and 2.

Spoiler: I can't remember any really difficult parts (click to show/hide)

::Only one part, where you had to follow a really big guy while fending off hordes of angels, comes to mind as difficult.

but yes, "Darksiders 1" is quite similar to the Legend of Zelda series with how items are handled and puzzles.

I think the part I enjoyed the most from the Darksiders series was the art direction. Both games, especially the second one, have really nice environments and great use of lighting for atmosphere. The second one has more to do beyond the main storyline with several side quests, some of which are best left until you've nearly finished the game.

Darksiders 1 was pretty nice. I guess there was an items-from-bosses progression that was Zelda-like, but that's about where it ended. DS 1 was almost entirely linear, with a one or two trips to backtrack. (Or a few more trips if you're into those GTA-type collector missions, IIRC.)
I enjoyed it just the same though. Would gladly recommend buying on a discount.

On a different note, wtf is with Green Team on the summer sale? 200k points ahead (basically double) of the rest? wtf...

Eh? Green team is 4th place. Red team is dominating, followed closely by Purple.

Speaking of Skyrim, if you're like me and never got the DLC because $20 for still-shitty vampire mechanics or shitty dragonriding didn't seem worth (much less $5 for shitty modular housebuilding when there are so many great house mods), now's the time. The legendary edition is on sale for a net total of 66% off, coming in at $13.87 for the game and all DLC (though of course Steam being Steam you don't get a giftable copy if you already own Skyrim, because fuck consumers).

AoE II HD edition is also on sale for $5, which was just enough for me to pick up. From what I've heard it's basically just a compilation of the efforts of the various community patches in one easy download combined with matchmaking via Steam. Apparently it's much, much easier to get into games than it was with the original MM system (though it'd be difficult to be worse than that steaming pile of crap), but a lot of the original issues are still there (one person lagging = everyone lagging, high unit count = stutter -- they made that one worse by upping the food limit from 200 per player to 500). Still worth it for the hit to the nostalgia IMO.

Out of curiosity, has anyone heard anything good enough about Wasteland 2 to bother buying it now for $40 on sale for the prepurchase bundle instead of waiting for the cheaper finished product to come out and eventually go on sale? I love the idea but most of the gameplay I've seen is somewhat clunky.

People must have coordinated as a group and joined the green team all at once, and gotten all their points in one fell swoop.

I got put on the pink team. I'm just going to sit this whole thing out.

Whoops. Not sure how I messed that up
Huzzah, my team is going to win for once!

Also possible is that something has just gone bonkers. I keep seeing point totals go in reverse for a few seconds >_>

Stealing points is a mechanic, if you buy (from the steam market) or craft the Steal point tokens.

And Red was dominating yesterday.

What I think is happening is that steam automatically assigns players to the losing team, then when the next day comes and the points are reset, all these people start crafting (no point creating stuff if you're going to loose), and the balance tips in their favor, and all the dedicated people switch ships.

There are point drain tokens that can be put into play, so that's why you're seeing what you're seeing.

okey, sorry

Wow, Civilization 5 Complete Edition is half off(only 25 bucks!). It includes all expansions(as well as a bunch of map packs).  Worth it?

There's already a thread for such purposes.

No!  Civilization usually turns up on the daily deals once, and in flash and/or community at least once.  Wait for that delicious -75% off.

It tends to be fairly cheap on British Amazon for some reason.

blargh, doesn't matter as my purchase isn't going through. I can't even enter billing info without it throwing an error >_>. I think it's the high traffic?
