I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

I got Doom Eternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.

I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.

Dark souls 3. A lifetime of shitposting about the series and I just now get the third one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, Sonic Adventure 2, and Valheim so far for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I figured out a while back that it's just not healthy for me (I stress 'me' because it's my experience) to collect games to play later just because they're on sale. I have a few hundred games just on Steam bought all the way back to sales in the 2000's. I've spent hours scrolling through them and realising they don't interest me and probably never will. Sales will usually come again so I'll just get a game when I actually want to play it.

I'm deciding between the Witcher 3, RE2 or Disco Elysium.

Getting Over It is on sale for practically pocket lint, so I picked that up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I got the original system shock games to play before I do the remake! 5 bucks for the bundle! 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Jupiter Hell is actually a really weirdly good little DOOMRL clone, I can recommend it highly. It deserves more attention than it has gotten from rl fans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda pretty sad that Dark Souls 3 is still so expensive... ever since Elden Ring blew up, its price has also skyrocketed. It finally got a sale today, but I remember many years ago it had a discount that was much lower.

Nevertheless, I got Alien Isolation, Dark Souls 3, and I'm hoping I can finally get some DAVE THE DIVER, but money is tight at the moment. This Steam Sale arrived at a pretty bad time for me :(

Got a few smaller ones from my wishlist: Sword & Sworcery, To The Moon, Antichamber, Her Story, Undertale, Sorcery! 1-4, Reigns, Call of the Sea and Overboard!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I picked up Mechanicus. Considering looking for a CRPG I haven't played before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I got the Dead by Daylight killer pack, but beyond that I'm stumped. I'm itching to spend money, but nothing is super calling to me. Maybe No Mans Sky, I love space but I usually don't enjoy grindy "make your own fun" type games

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hold off then because mote than the grind, NMS has the depth of a puddle.

Lots and lots of things to do, completely unnecessary after you finish the "tutorial" that introduce them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love no man's sky, but Im really most interested when they have an expedition going... Otherwise yeah I just waste time flying around

Does anyone have experience playing Cyberpunk on the deck? I saw it was deck verified, but not sure how I feel about it. Just saw it was on sale and was curious

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It runs under medium settings around 30fps. Not great but playable.

Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:

  • Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
  • Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn't have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
  • Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
  • NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
  • Castle Crashers (one of my "indie titles to get" games on the old list)
  • Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)

Already had Metro 2033 Redux, now I've bought Last Light and Exodus. Next I'll probably buy Rimworld or Project Wingman.

@[email protected] If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don't think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

I'm thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?

Thinking about buying Elden Ring and RE2,

RE2 is so cheap but I'm a pussy who could hardly stand a horror game. Can only play 2 levels of Dead Space a day.

Is ER fair if I don't plan to do coop or use summons?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought ER was on par with or easier than other souls games solo, I actually had a harder time playing in co-op than solo. It's quite fun and has a ton of replayability on PC with the modding community. I'm in the same vein with the spooky games being a no-go, so I have nothing to offer on RE2 vs ER.

Is BF2042 worth buying for ~$15?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not really.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn’t that one still considered a massive flop? I remember everyone hating it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, every new Battlefield game is shit on release day. The question is: is it still shit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It is still shit, and every battlefield game is full of unchecked wall / ESP hackers, with the occasional aimbot for additional spice.

I'm picking up almost every FF game that's on sale while I play through the series. Which the pixel remasters were on sale but it is what it is. About to start 4, very excited.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was really hoping to pick up some of the Stellaris DLC's that I'm missing, but of the 5 I don't have, 4 aren't on sale at all, and the last 1 is only 20% off. Pretty bummed tbh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How’s Stellaris like on the steam deck? I have the game, but haven’t tried it on the deck yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried to get Powerwash Simulator, twice. The payment failed both times, through 2 different payment methods (and not because I don't have the money). I'm taking that as a sign that I'm better off without it.
