On the other hand it's the first sale it is on (or maybe Autumn sale as well?). So if you dont plan to play it "soon", it's probably better to wait and buy it during the next sale. | ||

And on the other hand (or foot?..), it's an indie game that is highly original, very good, on sale, and was cheap to begin with. It's definitely worth the price for stealth fans. Kick the devs a bone imo. | ||

Way better than Dishonored and you get at least 25hrs out of it. Bioshock1 is also one of the best Games of the last 3years. Awesome story and atmo. | ||

Very fun to play but the story takes a nose dive once you realize that not a single choice you make at any point actually changes anything. | ||

It's definitely worth the price for stealth fans. Kick the devs a bone imo. It's an indie game so highly likely to be only mediocre and overhyped by the masses just like other indie games (Bastion, Binding of Isaac, FTL, ...). If you want a good stealth game - vote for Thief, buy Thief 2 and enjoy dozens of "indie" fan missions. I may be wrong, since I havent played it, but that's the vibe I got from gameplay videos. Also considering that you can get games of the scope of a Witcher 2 or a Civ 5 for the same price. "Oh this looks cool, even though I never heard about it before and it's a first time on sale" is normally a "nono" for me on sales. | ||

Simple logic - studios with shoestring budgets are not physically able to overhype ANYTHING. Overhype = SWTOR, Mass Effect 3, etc. People on forums and independent reviewers praising indie games generally signifies that said games are worth your time. Bastion happens to be in that category; not quite sure why you brought it up? Not enough FPS shooting for you? Also, you are comparing a sidescrolling game to a FPS. No doubting that the Thief games are amazing, but it's still an orange to MotN's orange-tinted apple. | ||

Most people hype them up just to be anti mainstream because it's cool to do so in their minds. Stuff like hot line miami and FTL look like hot garbage. If I wanted to play games that looked like that, I'd hop in my time machine to the 1980s where those graphics might be considered cutting edge there. | ||

Next I'll be hearing that Final Fantasy XIII is a better game than Final Fantasy VII. Oh man. | ||
