I need your help, guys. I have accumulated $10 in Steam Ccredit and think now is as good a time as any to spend it, with all the sales going on.

Update: Using my Wallet Credit, I have bought Borderlands 2 GOTY from SteamTrades for 3 TF2 keys. I now have exactly $2.00 left over. I'm going to see if I can't bet some Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skins to earn quick money. From now on, please post only for Dishonored GOTY vs. Darksiders Franchise Pack.

Update 2: I went on Green Man Gaming just now and found out that Dishonored GOTY was $7.49 on Green Man Gaming, and I had $8.12 of GMG Credit, so I went ahead and bought that.

Borderlands 2 GOTY: I have Borderlands 2, and I love the game, but I don't have any of the DLCs. Since the GOTY is on sale now, should I get it now, or should I wait? The vanilla main game without any DLCs should provide me about 75 more hours of gameplay until it gets boring. Personally, I think this can wait until I get another $10 in my Steam Wallet and goes on sale.


Dishonored GOTY: Bethesda is by far my favorite game production/development company. They created the Fallout series, my official favorite game series of all time. They created The Elder Scrolls, my second favorite game series of all time and the best storyline I have ever seen in any form of entertainment EVER; whether it be a movie, TV show, book, or game. Should I see if they can hit a third home run with this game? From watching the trailer, it looks like an amazing game. I even held off of watching Let's Plays in case I would get this game.


Darksiders Franchise Pack: Metascore and rating-wise, this is the worst game of the bunch, and the storyline also looks to be the worst. The company who made it is unknown to me; however, the trailer looks amazing and I do love a good Hack and Slash RPG. Also, this is arguably the best value, with 2 games and all DLCs included for a cheaper price than the rest.

I am going to see if I can't get $7 of Steam Credit before Monday. I want the Darksiders Franchise pack!

Borderlands 2 if you want some fun mindless shooting with an annoying overdose of memes and the occasional funny joke.

Dishonored if you want a Stealth game with super powers.

Darksiders if you want an Horseman of the apocalypse inspired Hack N Slash.

I think borderlands will last longer with its co-op oriented gameplay. Also its a good game.
Im not sure dishonored has any multiplayer except for leaderboads so its actually a one/two-plays game and its out. And its not that long either...
Never played Darksiders tho.

Yeah. The thing is, I kind of want to try Darksiders. Also, Darksiders goes on sale much more rarely than the others

Borderlands 2 GotY has all the big good DLCs to spend lot of time on, it doesn't matter if you play coop or not, you can play alone, but with coop is just more fun. Darksiders are games that you beat and forget about them, same for Dishonored, but they're very good, yes, but all 3 are very good.

So get Borderlands 2 GotY better from a high rep Brazilian trader from SteamTrades, it will be cheaper than buying on Steam yourself.

Go For Darksiders then, it's a fun game. I enjoyed the first game a bit, I've heard the sequel is supposedly leagues beyond on how good it is , but I'm unable to vouch for that. I personally found borderlands 2 horrendously boring after the first play-through even with friends.

Well if you want Darksiders, go for it, get the game you want :)
I have Darksiders 1 and 2 but never had the time to play them yet, so i can't say how good they are.
But i finished Dishonored, it is a nice game and a nice surprise when i played it(imo), and you will enjoy it if you like to beat the game in stealth and no kill (same for the DLC).
I am currently playing Borderlands 2, well i think i will only do one playthrough.

You can get Borderlands 2 GOTY for 3x TF2 Keys on Steamtrades.com while it's on sale.. just so you know.

Same for Darksiders Franchise.. saw it for 2.5 Keys, or you could get BL2 GOTY with Darksiders 1 for 4 keys in all (10$).

yeah is 3-3.5 keys, you can get 2 things this way from Russian/Brazilian traders, like Dishonored Goty + Borderlands 2 Goty for the price of one Borderlands 2 GotY on Steam if you bought it for your currency.

Dishonored

I gave it a try as it is free to play for the weekend, and I really like it (so far). Seems like a pretty decent game.

Bethesda did not create the Fallout series.

Edit: if you do go for Dishonored, make sure you get GOTY. Bethesda is known for making the dlc cost more separate, so you have to buy the game all over again...

But they made Fallout 3 and NV. IMHO the best of the bunch

Actually NV was made by obsidian. Bethesda did 3, (Which is the best in my eyes ^_^)

Obsidian is incredibly consistent, regardless of the IP. They make really buggy games with great stories.

There's people that don't like any particular series, so its not that hard to find someone who doesn't like something.

Although, I think both Borderlands games are boring single-player, they're awesome as co-op with people you like. Quality co-op is so rare, and Borderlands does it really well.

There is, but usually to anyone that I mentioned I found the game boring even on the Co-op element, they will just get all defensive and stuff. I still enjoyed my first play-through, but the second one was a snooze.

I can understand why some people wouldn't like it. At its core, its extremely repetitive, so it just depends on how much you enjoy looting/small equipment upgrades and some polarizing humor. I found the jokes and references to be hilarious, but some people might think of them as childish or stupid.

The quests are all either kill quests or fetch quests, so the appeal is solely in the jokes and the writing. If that falls flat, then there's not a lot to offer to someone.

The base game of Borderlands 2 provides a lot of content, and its a great, funny game. The DLC adds a considerable amount of content, much of it quite good and quite funny and definitely worth playing if you enjoy BL.

Darksiders is a really good hack&slash/Zelda-type game. I found the story really interesting, but not everyone is as interested in the whole fictional angels/horsemen/Apocalypse themes. Basically, if you'd like to play a Zelda game for adults with some GoW-style combat, Darksiders is a great, cheap set of games to get.

Borderlands 2 GOTY for longest gaming experience out of the 3, game will hook you up with hundreds upon hundreds of hours easily.

Dishonored GOTY, this game i enjoyed quite alot but i must say it's rather short. If you want a long-term gaming experience, avoid this. The campaign and dlc expansions will keep you busy for not much more than 34 hours, if you do things slowly like me and search every corner of the game. If you are the rush type, it will be done in 20 hours or less. There are some challenges in the game that can be played for competition in the scoreboards.

Darksiders franchise, i played the first one and beat it, it's a bit dull i must say... this is the in between choice out of the three. I began playing darksiders 2 some months ago but stopped, it seemed much better than the first, but you will need the first one for storywise experience (unless you youtube the first game). Otherwise it can turn a bit confusing.

Imo, i would buy borderlands 2 goty/season pass, it will provide the longest gaming experience out of the 3. And will most likely give enough time to build up on another 10 bucks to buy a new game in the future.

Just checked some trade topics in steamtrades, borderlands 2 goty and dishonored goty seem to go for 4 tf2 keys and darksiders franchise 2.5 tf2 keys. Borderlands 2 season pass is usually 3 tf2 keys, but i saw a few posts with 2 tf2 keys. It's all about luck.
