If you like open world stuff, you might want to look into Sleeping Dogs or Saints Row 3. I haven't played them, but most people think they are good.
As for RPGs, Witcher and Witcher 2 are really good, kind of linear but with meaningful choices and amazing storytelling. Dark Souls is just great if you like a fair difficult brawler/rpg thingy. Arkham Asylum/City are also pretty good. You should have a controller for most of those. Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas are all open world RPGs.
Smaller/lower fidelity indie RPGs: Anything from Spiderweb, anything from Zeboyd, both companies who have a very specific style, and i enjoyed there games a lot.
If you have some friends who would play with you, you might want to look into Terraria (2d crafting RPG-ish exploration thing), Magicka (cool magic system, friendly fire, blowing up your friends "by accident" is a lot of fun), Killing Floor (Zombie Survival Shooter), Borderlands (2)(Shooter in a crazy redneck world where everyone is insane)
If you want competitive multiplayer, you could look into LoL or Dota2 (Both free to play dota things), Chivalry (Medieval first person Melee battle game) Natural Selection 2.

Trine is actually one of my favorite games ever. I'm not even a huge fan of the platformer genre, but Trine has just the right amount of combat, puzzle-solving, and platforming to make it interesting for me. I loved both of them. Play Trine 1 first if you want to play both of them. Trine 2 improves on everything Trine 1 did right, so going back and playing Trine 1 second might be a little disappointing.

Wait, I only remember SSF4AE go on sale once and I think it was on the community choice section. I thought it would go on sale later, but I guess I was wrong and I regret not buying it now...

Can anyone give me information on Ys? Are the games good? Which one of them is the best to start with if they are?

I was pretty disappointed with Ys 1 and 2 because the combat worked differently than I expected. I know some fans of Ys: Oath to Felgana though.

I liked Ys: Ark of Napishtim and Ys: Oath to Felgana. Never had time to finish #2. They're not bad, just generic hack'n'slash with okay stories.

I played Ark a while back and enjoyed it, purchased Oath on sale this week, played it a decent amount already. As long as you're okay with a (sometimes frustrating) challenge, it's quite fun.

just a warning: the game is pretty cool, but it is VERY GPU heavy. normaly my GTX 680 doesnt go over 70 degrees. after 1 hour of trine 2 it was on 90. i found some tips from the game devs about this "issue" on the steam forums:

I have an old blog here.
Origin is the best game to start with, and Oath of Felghana would be the followup if you liked Origin. Ys I and II are pretty archaic titles that I'd only recommend for fans of the series.

Not sure what thread people are using for coupons but I have a 50% off Limbo that expires on the 31st. First person to PM me with their Steam ID gets it.

Is there some place to trade steam discounts for cards or something?

Ys Origins is pure horror. Why would you put a 30 minute unskippable cutscene at the start of your game? AND then not exactly tell people how to save a game, and not put an autosave afterwards?
So i started that game, on Nightmare. Went until i got to the second statue, activated it (assumed that that would save the game), and exited the game and did other stuff. Start the game again lateron, no savegame there. Have to watch the whole fucking 30 minutes of unskippable bullshit at the start again, which was already getting old pretty fast. Played a bit afterwards, until i reached the first Boss. Noticed that he is pretty hard. Wanted to play one difficulty easier. HAVE TO WATCH THE WHOLE 30 MINUTES OF SHIT AGAIN. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER DO THAT?

Sounds like the joke is on you for sitting through it two additional times instead of finding a way to disable it - probably a simple .ini tweak. All other aspects of the game disregarded, I can't see why this particular experience would qualify it as "pure horror," although I agree that it is sub-optimal design.

I got a spare Civ V key, anyone to trade it for Shadowrun?
|
I've got a 66% off Awesomenauts coupon. Would trade it for like...DotA commons or something. Maybe steam cards if you want to give something worth a few cents  .

I have the next coupons:

I can trade them for steam cards.
