I think I might move The Walking Dead to the next game I'll play (I have 3 episodes to go), since most of the discussions about The Walking Dead will be related to story. I forgot to add Spec Ops to my list. I'd probably want to play it before Xcom, since the story in that game is much more important to me than the gameplay.
I'm currently working my way through Dishonored, and have about 50% of the game completed.
Here's my list after Dishonored:
1. Sleeping Dogs (5% played)
2. Hitman Absolution (Not yet played)
3. The Walking Dead (Ep. 1 and 2 played)
4. Xcom: Enemy Unknown (10% played)
5. Mark of the Ninja (Not yet played)
6. Syndicate (Not yet played)
7. Torchlight 2 (20% played)
Saints Row: The Third and Borderlands 2 (completed) have been sidetracking me lately, but I'd still like to complete at least a few of the games for the discussions in about 3 weeks. So, what games are you guys trying to finish before the GOTY stuff?
No, I wait for someone to say "bless you" then I say "thank you". If they don't say it then obviously they don't deserve an excuse from me either. Excusing yourself is for burps and gas.
I just built a gaming PC this month so I stacked my library over the holiday.
Spec Ops, Hell Yeah, Dead Island GOTY, Super Meat Boy, Terraria, Critter Crunch, Cave Story, Rochard, Bastion, Mark of the Ninja, Hotline Miami, pid, Beyond Good and Evil HD, Fallout 3 GOTY, Dear Esther, RAGE, Stacking, Shatter, They Bleed Pixels, Batman Action Pack, Far Cry 2 and 3 (pre order), From Dust.
Not sure if others are interested but Ubisoft if offering Rayman Origins ($7.50), Far Cry 2 ($2.50), and From Dust ($3.00) on sale.
The last thing that I'm really hoping for, that I think is realistic, is Rayman Origins for sub $10. Hopefully it'll happen tomorrow, either as a daily deal or as a flash deal. Anyone else think that it might happen?
@GetEveryone: Looks like no good news for you on the Dark Souls front with the new batch of deals. I feel like I wanted that game, I have Demon's Souls and love it...but that game has also scarred my soul in that manner that it has punished me.
Picture from NeoGAF. Now if only I could get an ENB working.
It's way easier than it seems to get ENBs running. You literally download it, extract, copy/paste the content into your Skyrim folder in SteamApps/common while merging any folders that require it, and then enable a couple of things in Skyrim.ini and the other .ini file along with the .esb (or is it something else) files, which you can do from Nexus Mod Manager. It took me all of 5 minutes. It's the bajillion texture mods that take hours to get.
Here's a couple of mine I just randomly took a day or so ago. I only have about 20 visual mods installed and it still is a fair amount of space taken up. I'm not even close to done yet. Unfortunately I just have access to the cloud versions so they're crappy jpegs. I have proper screenshots on my desktop but that's turned off right now.
The rocks are the craziest part of all this stuff. They actually look 3D in game. I think that was the parallax mod I installed. I have better than this for nature images, but I didn't upload them yet.Even with all that extra grass there is absolutely no performance hits. The ENB I used had some crazy FXAA built in so everything looks crazy smooth. I used to force AA through the video card drivers but this looks significantly better and works better with the crazy amount of grass. My trees are still a work in progress. So are most of the character models. I have high res clothing and armour but the skin on the characters, and the faces, leave a bit to be desired.
Those screenshots look amazing! I'm looking forward to booting it up. Will probably work on importing my 360 save file tomorrow.
Thanks a lot for the great feedback guys! I now own Skyrim on the PC. Looking forward to all the great modding action you guys have been talking about. Any great mods you guys recommend?

I would say yes, absolutely, especially if you have a computer that can run it well (and if that's the case then why didn't you just buy it on the PC in the first place?). Right now I'm torn on whether or not I should grab Dishonored on GMG for $23. Too many good deals!
The reason I didn't buy it on PC the first time is because I built my PC in February of this year, meaning I didn't have a capable PC at the time of its release. I think you should get Dishonored for $23. I am currently playing through it, and I am having a very enjoyable time with it. I'm trying to be stealthy, but when something goes wrong, I "amend" the plan. ;)
So I've owned Skyrim on my 360 since last year, but I haven't played it in quite some time. I've been itching to go back to the game for a long time, but haven't committed to it since I've been busy with the current releases. Complicating the situation, Greenmangaming has Skyrim for $22.50 (after the 25% off voucher) right now, and I'm wondering if I could get some duders' thoughts on the PC version. Do you think that mods and better graphics (possibly faster load times?) make Skyrim worth repurchasing for PC at the $23 price point?
