I normally would not ask this.. but...

I liked Don't Starve. It's a good game, you can play it forever. I didn't play it much, but it was fun.

About Heroes VI... I don't know this particular expansion, but I still prefer Heroes III.

Diss the DLC, you'll get more playtime and your money's worth with DS or DS. Personally, I'd take DS over DS though.

Don't Starve!

I'd say Dark Souls. Don't Starve is a good game, but it'll probably get as cheap or cheaper again comparatively soon. Dark Souls has a unique multiplayer aspect to it apparently that might not be as populated when Dark Souls II comes out, and who knows what will happen when GFWL shuts down (it'll probably get patched out but you never know). Be advised that its a bad port though; you'll need to get DSfix and you should have a 360 controller to play it.

I don't anything about the heroes one!

I'd avoid Dark Souls. It's a bad port of an average game. Looking at how much time you've put into HoMMVI already, I'd grab the xpac for that.

Dark Souls! If you want to play this, then you should do it now before M$ go ahead and drop their service. It is well worth thr 80% off sale price.

Dark Souls

If you are into the roguelikeish genre of survival, you should get Don't Starve as it will get more hours than any of the other games and the game is always being updated.

But for quality, Dark Souls no doubt about it.

Dark Souls. Install DSfix and you're in for a long ride.

Dark Souls is probably the best game I've played in the last gen, so.. I'd go for it.

Dark Souls

I got dark souls recently and it was sooo fun!

Bad port, games for windows live- and the multiplayer aspect isn't even that good (considering hackers and all).

Don't support it. I wanted and could have bought Dark Souls on all sales but resisted. In all sincerity, ive seen it run better off steam(without steam on the background and overlay) then on my friend's machine.

Ive played it only a little elsewhere, its a great game- but wait at least for gfwl to get patched and buy on sale. Anything else is too much for an half assed port that didn't even bothered with pc gamers (for gods sake, a fan created a simple patch in a week the devs didn't cared about). Its infuriating.

I hope Dark Souls II comes properly on pc.

Also, Don't Starve is awesome, got tons of updates and will likely keep getting some. From controllers to local co-op, bunch of new characters, mods, custom characters and more came in as free updates. They deserve their money much more.

Don't Starve since it is more comfortable

Dark souls.
/thread..

I've been playing Dark Souls for the last couples of weeks and I believe it's one of the best games of the last...5 years?

GFWL scares the shit out of me too, but I don't think Steam would sell something that will be unplayable in a week or so...I hope.

So, buy Dark Souls!

I just got Don't Starve (fairly cheap because of the price glitch) and absolutely loving it.

Dark Souls was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I've had since playing the STALKER games. The feeling of accomplishment after getting past a tough area is amazing. It has some of the best melee combat in a game that I've ever seen too. Feels realistic and "weighty".

Don't Starve is fun to see how long you can survive, if you can make it through the winter and so on, but I feel like Souls is the more satisfying experience and that price is unbeatable. Do invest in a USB controller if you do decide to get into Souls on PC though...

Wanted to say thanks everyone for your suggestions. As I said in another comment, as much as I am interested ,I am going to follow someone's advise and wait to see if GFWL will be patched or not... So I will prob either end up getting Don't Starve or Shades of Darkness.. Depending on what happens with the new block of sales coming in a few hours or so.

gfwl's removal might be too late for dark souls, since the community will migrate to dark souls 2.

my opinion: don't starve is good but gets boring. but dark souls, hell yeah.

dark souls

GFWL is gonna get patched for sure, I don't see how they could sell you a game today and in about 6-7 months cut you off from it. Just imagine the customers backlash on them.. not happening. Dark Souls for this price is a steal and a sure thing.. go for it.
