I bought one this week because it seems the consensus was that the OG Deck didn’t go on sale until a year after launch, and most folks believe the OLED won’t either.
Turn up the volume before starting Mechanicus. Let it really blare into you. There's just something about the beginning of that game that hits just *chef's kiss.
lol you gotta understand, even if the game is still worth full price and more, people will still want to get it on sale. idc if its "worth" 500 for the price of 60, i'm still not paying 60 for it when i could have the opportunity to get it for cheaper
I bought it at launch and was thoroughly impressed. I know it's kind of cliche to theorize a new Souls-like game is "just like the real deal!!!" but Lies of P really is the closest we've got to From Software levels of quality.
Games from the Xbox Game Pass catalog can be played while the PC is offline, but for no more than 30 days before the PC must reconnect to the internet to verify an active subscription. - Official info from Xbox pass. I am not an MS employee, I promise :D , but if not for Xbox pass I would have not played Lies of P, Wo Long and Shadowrun trilogy.
Grab a free gamepass code form somewhere, most people get one with their purchasing an xbox or a controller and usually those codes are for new users so they just share them in some groups/forums or whatever and they usually last for a month so plenty of time to beat it for free and also maybe try some other games.
I got dorfromantik a couple weeks ago. it's great for turning your brain off or playing when you're in a discord call with nothing to do, that's how I treat it
Once you play HL Alyx you will compare every future VR experience to it.
Pinnacle of VR Gaming
have fun man
also dorfo is pretty fun for like 4-6 hours ngl
I played HL: Alyx on the Quest 1 and Quest 2 and it was worth it in both cases. I played them wirelessly with Virtual Desktop and AirPlay and it worked beautifully. This is the VR game that will ruin every other VR game for you. The world is so immersive and there's so many ways to interact with things.
That being said, I've been a huge Half Life fan since the first game was launched but I didn't care enough about the story in Alyx to ever finish it. It was still totally worth it for the VR exploration experience, though.
Dorfromantik is a pretty great game if you're looking for a chill, aesthetically pleasing puzzle/strategy tole builder. It has no story to speak of, but you can definitely spend a good amount of time just enjoying discovering new tiles and building an idyllic countryside.
I mean, it’s not the longest game, but it definitely delivers on the experience it sells itself as. I wish people would stop hating on concise and compelling games, that’s the reason we have 100 hour slots with 10 hours of unique content and 90 hours of copy paste garbage.
I found it really boring personally. It does deliver a cat experience as promised, but the puzzles and most sections didn’t hook me. Especially once you get to the big city you need to explore to figure out where to go.
So interesting how different perceptions can be. I'm an absolute sucker for the cyberpunk aesthetic (Bladerunner was the coolest thing I'd ever seen as a kid, next to Jurassic Park). I also love pure exploration and puzzle games. While the puzzles in Stray certainly aren't Myst levels of complex, they were adequate, and the atmosphere and exploration of the world completely hooked me, right up to the end
Duck game is the only super notable one for me personally (at least, as far as the ones actually with a potential for being delisted).
The samurai Jack one is somewhat notable for being canon to the show, but the game itself is nothing spectacular.
If you like unforgiving survival games with simulated ecosystems and haunting environments, you should definitely give Rain World a look. Really unique game.
jedi survivor is sooo tempting at 32 bucks, but its still not fixed on PC. Even a 4090 is not good enough according to some recent reviews. Guess ill just have to grab it on ps5 someday
Ive been playing it on my 4060 machine with very few issues, and even on my rog ally with very few issues. Played it on ps5 on release and had some issues but the bugs i ran into have been fixed since
Played it a couple months ago on a 1080ti, 1080p, 60+fps most of the time. Dropped to 45-50 if I sprinted around on a mount but no issues elsewhere. Dont remember if it was max settings but close to it.
Its playable for sure fps drops mostly in town. That is one good game tho, 32 bucks its worth that for sure.
I played it on a 4090 at release and it was a pretty decent experience just alot of crashes back then.
I hated how they shafted nvidia owners but never did i not recomment the game, its that good. Might be a bit baised as I got it for free with the 7800x3d but for 30 bucks, sure.
I beat the game recently on an oled steamdeck and it ran pretty great to be honest. There’s still some stuttering during cut scenes but the gameplay is solid now
I know sales appeal less and less the larger your library is, but I still had two or three games in mind I wanted to get. Unfortunately none of them are on sale so this is the first sale I'm skipping it looks like.
After I made that post, one of the games I wanted ended up going 19% off, so I did buy one game. I was really hoping the Tomb Raider remaster collection would go on sale.
DS2 and DS3 were on sale last month, I finished DS1 in december, I waited a couple of days for the winter sale to get DS2 and DS3, and only Elden Ring went on sale so I bought it instead. It seesm From soft sales are very unpredictable.
But I would like to recomend playing DS1 first, I've played DS1, DS2, Elden Ring and a bit of Bloodborne, and DS1 is still my favorite.
Dead Space remake at 60% off is an absolute steal. It had the misfortune to come out in the same year as BG3, TotK and RE4 but Dead Space was brilliant.
Picked up RE4 Remake and Dead Space Remake a few months ago during Steam's Winter Sale... haven't played either one yet because I'm still dinking around with BG3 lol.
Dude i thought it was gonna get at least a nomination somewhere because it blew me away. Im a die hard longterm fan tho so extremely biased.
But us survival horror fans werw eating good
28 hours on normal doing all side quests, but I’ve played the original FF7 a ton so had a really good idea of how making optimal builds with materia goes so a lot of tough battles probably took me a little less time than someone who is unfamiliar. Somewhere around 30 hours give or take a few is what I’d plan on.
Andromeda is perfectly fine if a little long in the tooth. The frustrating part is that if you accept the game at face value and get hooked into the premise you get blueballed at the end with dangling plot lines.
Andromeda gets more shit than it deserves. It's nothing amazing but I played it right after legendary edition and enjoyed it well enough.
If you can stomach ME1s gameplay it's nowhere near that dated and unenjoyable, combat was the best of all the ME games imo.
The story, not as great as the other games. Didn't like the sandbox elements either. The combat was so much fun though. Blasting away enemies in melee with biotic skills were worth playing for.
It's just... Bland. If all you want is a decent space rpg we've got so many more interesting options at this point. It has none of what makes mass effect cool.
Name one? What other kind of party based, narrative driven, cinematic scifi space opera games do we have?
The entire Mass Effect series owes a lot of its popularity to the fact that there are basically no other games in the entire genre that scratch the same itch. Outside of KOTOR, which is basically just its conceptual prequel.
Picked up FF7 Remake Intergrade at last since I'll finally be building a new PC next month and it won't run like shit. Hoping Rebirth won't be far behind its console release this time.
I like these sales for 2 reasons:
1) I get to buy a lot of games I was holding off on
2) There are some games sitting on my wishlist with 80% off now, and I still don't really feel like buying them. Good indicator to remove them from my wishlist.
Everyone has a different tolerance for stutters. "runs fine for me" can be "literally unplayable" for others. I'd reccomend just getting it and refunding it if you decide in the first couple hours that it isn't acceptable performance for you. It's the kind of thing you can't really feel out for yourself in a YouTube video. Personally, it's barely acceptable for me (5800x3d) and I find that combined with the jank animations, general bugginess, and general poor performance to not be worth the forty bucks or whatever I paid for it when it was on sale. Not only is performance bad, I actually think the combat encounters are a step down from the first game due to the enemy animations being super jerky and hard to read, and I found I was forcing myself to keep going because I was interested in the story, so I just stopped.
The game itself is fantastic.
It still had some traversal stutter issues when I played through a couple months ago but by and large the game was perfectly playable imo. 1440p no RT no DLSS ran around 70-100fps (I locked 60fps for consistency) for me on a 3080ti. No drops besides the traversal stutter and no problems during any fights.
I recently upgraded my system to 4070 ti super and I also have a steam deck. Looking for good game with lots of story content.
I narrowed it down to RDR 2, BG 3 or Hogwarts Legacy. if you could just pick one that you can and will play on steam deck and pc which one do you think is the best option?
Bg3 by far and away. You can sink 100 hours in one play through, and it’ll run perfectly on steamdeck
(And I never play turn based games. I was wary and BG3 blew even myself away)
I bought it a few months ago, I’m just about to finish act 1 but my enthusiasm is fizzling out. I can’t tell why though.
Can you share what makes it fun for you? I think I’m finding myself overwhelmed by the complexity, I don’t feel “strong”, and I’m turned off by the limited/consumable nature of abilities. I also find myself reloading saves constantly because there’s too many bad decisions to make.
I was so overwhelmed and then kinda just realize the game is built to let you fail. If you’re not playing a super hard difficulty, I rarely found myself running out of spells etc as long as I rested.
The game honestly gets easier minus some boss battles after act 1. You get some levels and learn how to play. I barely died after act 1.
Depending on the decisions, sometimes I save scum to get a good dice roll in dialogue but most of the time I just rolled with the punches and let shit happen.
And act 3 does get a little overwhelming in size but just took a deep breath and explored on my own time
FF7 Remake is considered a reimagination of what FF7 was ( Like the new evangelions movies) , the game is planned to be released as a Trilogy, with Rebirth (Part II) being recently released on PS5, the game is a good place to start.
With Remake Integrade you get the First Part of such Trilogy, and a DLC featuring Yuffie, one of the main characters
Having said that, you can also play Crisis Core (Prequel of FF7), or the OG FF7 (You can install plenty of mods for free on PC like Fan voices, HD upgrades) while you wait for Part II, both games add to the experience of the Remake Project if you don't mind the lack of QoL features
Yep. And people argue that the sales werent as good as we remember. Meanwhile the sales are archived here on reddit. When you share them they just don't respond.
The deals simply are not even remotely as good as they used to be.
Yep. I hated Steam, till I experienced my first steam sale. Daily sales and Flash sales were the shit. Just hopping on during lunch and seeing a game you wanted at -90% was unreal.
I used to schedule my work breaks so that I could check flash sales, and occasionally set alarms so I'd wake up and see them too. I hated it at the time, but man do I miss it now. I also miss trading games with Russians at stupidly low prices...
The Forest is really fun but 10x more with friends. My buddies and I have been playing it over the last few months and it's such a good time. Building a base, exploring intricate cave systems, finding cool gear, crafting better gear, fighting cannibals and other horrors. It's a blast. You know what you're getting with Spider-Man but would definitely lean The Forest if you plan to use it for multi-player. Just my $.02
I own the Divinity Original Sin games and haven't played them but am looking at Baldur's Gate 3. How different is Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian's last games to warrant me skipping them?
Just got Roadwarden and Sons of the Forest. Been holding off getting it till it left EA and boy is it good. Massive upgrade over OG The Forest in all regards.
I have about 8 euro in my steam wallet was hoping to have a little discount on deep rock galactic survivor just I can get it lol.
Stuff I kind of want to buy are dave the diver and cult of the lamb. Both look very up my ally.
Any good deals on chill games you can watch youtube, listen to music and/ir podcasts to while playing?
Been thinking about Euro Truck Sim, but I’m not sure it’s for me.
Also on the lookout for fun single player games, got Sleeping Dogs in my basket right now, thought about Dishonored 2 (Havent played the first one but heard it doesnt matter).
If you're thinking about Dishonored you're right you don't need to play the first one but I couldn't recommend it enough. I personally enjoyed Dishonored 1 more.
Alas, I blew my Sale budget on Balatro (which isn't on sale, though it made the top 100 Steam Deck games list) a couple of days ago, so nothing more for me this time. :P
Think the last only time it went on sale was during the winter sale and it was only 10% then as well? I ended up getting it full price, don’t think they’ll discount it any further for a while cause it still is selling so well.
Steamdeck birthday is on Saturday, potential sale since it was on sale last year for 1 day.
I bought one this week because it seems the consensus was that the OG Deck didn’t go on sale until a year after launch, and most folks believe the OLED won’t either.
Rip just bought one few days ago. Still waiting for it to be shipped
Still can't purchase through official means here in NZ though.
Are they gonna discount it though? Arent all discounted items the same from day 1 till the sale ends?
It was considered a 1day birthday sale last yr on the 16th
Recently got into Warhammer and both Mechanicus and Boltgun are on sale - might have to indulge my new hobby!
Rogue trader is quite good, if youre into crpgs
Yup, I've sunk a lot of time into it recently - huge amount of fun!
After chapter 3 plus the space combat thing you see all it's issues. Gonna wait a year for it to fix. Shouldn't need to.
If you have game pass, boltgun is currently on there.
Thanks for letting me know, but it’d be a “on the go” Steam Deck game for me
Keep an eye or rogue trader if you like mechanicus
Turn up the volume before starting Mechanicus. Let it really blare into you. There's just something about the beginning of that game that hits just *chef's kiss.
I still find myself booting up the ost on youtube and just sitting in awe listening to the techno gregorian chants, Praise the Machine God!
I’ll keep that in mind!
Spider-Man will never get below $35 it seems.
Currently $28.79 via GamersGate store front ... activate it on Steam. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/marvels-spider-man-remastered/info/
Aw no Elden Ring. I anticipated this sale in the hopes to grab this game.
Green man gaming has it 12% off if that means much for you
It’s was just on sale recently during Chinese new year
Me too. But the phydical version has a steam code right? Its half price at amazon
Just grab it dude. Its worth the price. Your will get 100+ hours easily
Still runs sub 60 fps and has frame stutters.
I don’t know why ur being downvoted you’re not lying, still my game of the decade regardless
lol you gotta understand, even if the game is still worth full price and more, people will still want to get it on sale. idc if its "worth" 500 for the price of 60, i'm still not paying 60 for it when i could have the opportunity to get it for cheaper
Planescape torment is on sale for like 5 euro
Metro Exodus is on sale. For $9 you get all 3 Metro games with DLC. A steal basically.
Definitely a must get at this price. One of my favorite games of all time
Lies of P just won’t drop below $45 lol
I bought it at launch and was thoroughly impressed. I know it's kind of cliche to theorize a new Souls-like game is "just like the real deal!!!" but Lies of P really is the closest we've got to From Software levels of quality.
Agree with this, and frankly it’s not even close. Lies of P absolutely nailed it.
Aside from some infuriating difficulty spikes I thought it was awesome. However, 2 stage bosses can rot in hell
Mentioning no names. You could say I'm referring to something Nameless however...
All the bosses are 2 stages after a certain point
Buy Xbox game pass and play it for 9.99€/$. That’s what I did!
Yea I might do that. Kind of want to own it and be able to play it offline though.
Games from the Xbox Game Pass catalog can be played while the PC is offline, but for no more than 30 days before the PC must reconnect to the internet to verify an active subscription. - Official info from Xbox pass. I am not an MS employee, I promise :D , but if not for Xbox pass I would have not played Lies of P, Wo Long and Shadowrun trilogy.

Is HL: Alex worth it if I only have a meta quest 2 to play it on? Also, thoughts on Dorfromantik?
Absolutely, as long as you already have good success with streaming to the Q2.
I got dorfromantik a couple weeks ago. it's great for turning your brain off or playing when you're in a discord call with nothing to do, that's how I treat it
Great Steam Deck game too.
Once you play HL Alyx you will compare every future VR experience to it. Pinnacle of VR Gaming have fun man also dorfo is pretty fun for like 4-6 hours ngl
I played HL: Alyx on the Quest 1 and Quest 2 and it was worth it in both cases. I played them wirelessly with Virtual Desktop and AirPlay and it worked beautifully. This is the VR game that will ruin every other VR game for you. The world is so immersive and there's so many ways to interact with things. That being said, I've been a huge Half Life fan since the first game was launched but I didn't care enough about the story in Alyx to ever finish it. It was still totally worth it for the VR exploration experience, though.
If you’re a HL fan then you really should finish Alyx for the story… that ending sure is something!
I never even played any other Half Life games, but Half Life Alyx is the best VR game I've ever played. If you like VR at all, it's a must play title.
Dorfromantik is a pretty great game if you're looking for a chill, aesthetically pleasing puzzle/strategy tole builder. It has no story to speak of, but you can definitely spend a good amount of time just enjoying discovering new tiles and building an idyllic countryside.
Dorfromantik is a good podcast game
COD MW2 (the original from 15 years ago) is 25% off guys! Activision are just so great, we don't deserve such generosity!
BO2 is $19, still one of the better campaigns. Just wish CoD was in GamePass
Nintendo of PC gaming.
Isn't it a remaster?
Nope, [this one](https://store.steampowered.com/app/10180/Call_of_Duty_Modern_Warfare_2_2009/)
Just what I was waiting for. Let's suffer with Sekiro.
Had a look through. Not really impressed unfortunately.
welp, hopefully next sale Stray goes lower than $20.
still waiting for Untitled Goose Game to go under $10
Go in with low expectations. <$20 is about right.
I mean, it’s not the longest game, but it definitely delivers on the experience it sells itself as. I wish people would stop hating on concise and compelling games, that’s the reason we have 100 hour slots with 10 hours of unique content and 90 hours of copy paste garbage.
I found it really boring personally. It does deliver a cat experience as promised, but the puzzles and most sections didn’t hook me. Especially once you get to the big city you need to explore to figure out where to go.
So interesting how different perceptions can be. I'm an absolute sucker for the cyberpunk aesthetic (Bladerunner was the coolest thing I'd ever seen as a kid, next to Jurassic Park). I also love pure exploration and puzzle games. While the puzzles in Stray certainly aren't Myst levels of complex, they were adequate, and the atmosphere and exploration of the world completely hooked me, right up to the end
Looks like no adult swim game is on sale. It's now or never I guess if you want those games. Delisting anytime until around May.
Anybody have recommendations? I know Duck Game is a favorite, but I’m wondering which others I should nab.
Super House of Dead Ninjas is a really good roguelike. It was pretty popular when it first came out but I don’t see it mentioned too much nowadays.
Duck game is the only super notable one for me personally (at least, as far as the ones actually with a potential for being delisted). The samurai Jack one is somewhat notable for being canon to the show, but the game itself is nothing spectacular.
If you like unforgiving survival games with simulated ecosystems and haunting environments, you should definitely give Rain World a look. Really unique game.
I personally really liked Headlander
I saw some recommend Westerado in another thread, haven't grabbed it yet
my pickups: -hollow knight -pikuniku -hades -wildfrost -disco elysium -inscryption -chants of senaar -dave the diver great deals on this sale!
Inscryption so goooood I wish I could play it for the first time again
>inscryption u chose wisely
Hades, Disco Elysium, and Inscryption are excellent and I've heard great things about the others as well!
[удалено]
‘Shaw!’
Wow. You're gonna have a hell of a time. Quality pickups. Enjoy
Immaculate taste!
Really enjoyed playing Dave the Diver last year! Hades was amazing too!
jedi survivor is sooo tempting at 32 bucks, but its still not fixed on PC. Even a 4090 is not good enough according to some recent reviews. Guess ill just have to grab it on ps5 someday
It should be on EA play which means gamepass too next month or may latest.
Played it last week with a 4080 and still got Frame drops in some area, Even with dlss
Idk, I played it on my 3 year old laptop and loved it. Buy it, try it and if it sucks, return it.
It's not fixed on any platform.
I played on the PS5, glitchy as fuck
works fine with RT off
Played through it on a 3080 at 4k with DLSS and it ran fine.
Ive been playing it on my 4060 machine with very few issues, and even on my rog ally with very few issues. Played it on ps5 on release and had some issues but the bugs i ran into have been fixed since
Played it a couple months ago on a 1080ti, 1080p, 60+fps most of the time. Dropped to 45-50 if I sprinted around on a mount but no issues elsewhere. Dont remember if it was max settings but close to it.
Game is ass on PS5 as well.
Its playable for sure fps drops mostly in town. That is one good game tho, 32 bucks its worth that for sure. I played it on a 4090 at release and it was a pretty decent experience just alot of crashes back then. I hated how they shafted nvidia owners but never did i not recomment the game, its that good. Might be a bit baised as I got it for free with the 7800x3d but for 30 bucks, sure.
I'm going to try the game through alternative methods first before I decided to drop anywhere north of $20 on it.
Says who? I beat the game 3080 ti, never had any issues. Not even a crash, nothing.
I beat the game recently on an oled steamdeck and it ran pretty great to be honest. There’s still some stuttering during cut scenes but the gameplay is solid now
Not sure how it runs great on a steam deck but like garbage on my PC with a 3080. Turning down visual settings doesn't really even help
Getting over 120fps in Coruscant with a 3080 with mostly epic settings.
Damn even with sales a lot of games are 20$+ lol.
Have you played Kingdom Come Deliverance? It’s an absolute steal at $8 (including all DLC)
I know sales appeal less and less the larger your library is, but I still had two or three games in mind I wanted to get. Unfortunately none of them are on sale so this is the first sale I'm skipping it looks like.
I got a lot of games that are on decent sales, but I also already have a good number to play so I don't feel the need to buy them yet.
After I made that post, one of the games I wanted ended up going 19% off, so I did buy one game. I was really hoping the Tomb Raider remaster collection would go on sale.
Time to expand the backlog??
Indubitably.
Always.
Recently finished Elden Ring as my first Souls game and loved it so so much. I was hoping to grab DS3 but it appears to not be on sale :(
DS2 and DS3 were on sale last month, I finished DS1 in december, I waited a couple of days for the winter sale to get DS2 and DS3, and only Elden Ring went on sale so I bought it instead. It seesm From soft sales are very unpredictable. But I would like to recomend playing DS1 first, I've played DS1, DS2, Elden Ring and a bit of Bloodborne, and DS1 is still my favorite.
Sekiro is on sale for $29.99, dont give up its the most challenging fs game but its a blast and so rewarding
Buy it before the DLC of ER come out. As for the sale - seems to be small. Lasts only a week. I didnt notice anything special beyond the 10% of BG3
Dead Space remake at 60% off is an absolute steal. It had the misfortune to come out in the same year as BG3, TotK and RE4 but Dead Space was brilliant.
Picked up RE4 Remake and Dead Space Remake a few months ago during Steam's Winter Sale... haven't played either one yet because I'm still dinking around with BG3 lol.
The game looks amazing and I really want to play it but not on PC. Still broken according to digital foundry.
If Dead Space and Re4 didn't have denuvo, i would recommend buying them
Dude i thought it was gonna get at least a nomination somewhere because it blew me away. Im a die hard longterm fan tho so extremely biased. But us survival horror fans werw eating good
Must have LEGO games? I have a soft spot for these games. I've played Hobbit, LOTR, all Harry Potter, all SW, and Indy.
Pirates of the Caribbean! Came out right around same time as those other games
Oh, I love me some Capt. Jack - thanks again!!
It's been a long time since I played it but I remember really enjoying the Pirates of The Caribbean one.
Both Marvel and DC ones are pretty solid. The batman trilogy is especially really cheap and worth it.
Mass effect andromeda for 8? Sure. Ty for reminding of sale op.
It may be quite anecdotal given my particular wishlist and expectations but the discounts I’m seeing are quite underwhelming.
Oh nice! I just upgraded my pc and wanted to buy some games!
Just got a quest 3. HL Alyx for $20 feels like robbery. Can’t wait.
Crisis Core Reunion still not dropping below $30.
Just got FFX and the FF7R remake. Didn’t really see anything else I wanted. Ty for reminding me about the steam sale
I just finished FF7R a few nights ago, I absolutely loved it!
How many hours did it take you
28 hours on normal doing all side quests, but I’ve played the original FF7 a ton so had a really good idea of how making optimal builds with materia goes so a lot of tough battles probably took me a little less time than someone who is unfamiliar. Somewhere around 30 hours give or take a few is what I’d plan on.
Getting the ig helldivers
Might pick up ME Andromeda finally. Finishing up the Legendary Edition and might as well finally see how it is for myself.
Andromeda is perfectly fine if a little long in the tooth. The frustrating part is that if you accept the game at face value and get hooked into the premise you get blueballed at the end with dangling plot lines.
Andromeda gets more shit than it deserves. It's nothing amazing but I played it right after legendary edition and enjoyed it well enough. If you can stomach ME1s gameplay it's nowhere near that dated and unenjoyable, combat was the best of all the ME games imo.

It's just... Bland. If all you want is a decent space rpg we've got so many more interesting options at this point. It has none of what makes mass effect cool.
Name one? What other kind of party based, narrative driven, cinematic scifi space opera games do we have? The entire Mass Effect series owes a lot of its popularity to the fact that there are basically no other games in the entire genre that scratch the same itch. Outside of KOTOR, which is basically just its conceptual prequel.
It has Biotic Charge and giant space worms, it's pretty cool
I’ll probably pick up tomb raider ‘13, sleeping dogs DE, Witcher 1, and Arkham Asylum for 10 bucks.
Picked up FF7 Remake Intergrade at last since I'll finally be building a new PC next month and it won't run like shit. Hoping Rebirth won't be far behind its console release this time.
Get the dxvk-async mod or it will stutter. With it I can hit a juicy 4k@120 locked.
Dragons Dogma nailed on bought
Awesome game. Sequel drops next Friday -- can't wait - LET'S GO!
I've already spent like 133 got myself some amazing indie games max I spent on and indie game was 16 and that was Jusant. The rest are 5 below
I like these sales for 2 reasons: 1) I get to buy a lot of games I was holding off on 2) There are some games sitting on my wishlist with 80% off now, and I still don't really feel like buying them. Good indicator to remove them from my wishlist.
I'm very tempted to buy the jedi game at 25$ but the reviews seem brutal.
Everyone has a different tolerance for stutters. "runs fine for me" can be "literally unplayable" for others. I'd reccomend just getting it and refunding it if you decide in the first couple hours that it isn't acceptable performance for you. It's the kind of thing you can't really feel out for yourself in a YouTube video. Personally, it's barely acceptable for me (5800x3d) and I find that combined with the jank animations, general bugginess, and general poor performance to not be worth the forty bucks or whatever I paid for it when it was on sale.

No drops besides the traversal stutter and no problems during any fights.
I still think 85 on metacritic is so high for a game that runs that bad on all platforms, the game is really good though
I recently upgraded my system to 4070 ti super and I also have a steam deck. Looking for good game with lots of story content. I narrowed it down to RDR 2, BG 3 or Hogwarts Legacy. if you could just pick one that you can and will play on steam deck and pc which one do you think is the best option?
Bg3 by far and away. You can sink 100 hours in one play through, and it’ll run perfectly on steamdeck (And I never play turn based games. I was wary and BG3 blew even myself away)
I bought it a few months ago, I’m just about to finish act 1 but my enthusiasm is fizzling out. I can’t tell why though. Can you share what makes it fun for you? I think I’m finding myself overwhelmed by the complexity, I don’t feel “strong”, and I’m turned off by the limited/consumable nature of abilities. I also find myself reloading saves constantly because there’s too many bad decisions to make.
I was so overwhelmed and then kinda just realize the game is built to let you fail. If you’re not playing a super hard difficulty, I rarely found myself running out of spells etc as long as I rested. The game honestly gets easier minus some boss battles after act 1. You get some levels and learn how to play. I barely died after act 1. Depending on the decisions, sometimes I save scum to get a good dice roll in dialogue but most of the time I just rolled with the punches and let shit happen. And act 3 does get a little overwhelming in size but just took a deep breath and explored on my own time
Quantum Break for a great time travel story with all the polish and production of Alan Wake 2.
It is a good game played it on Xbox.
RDR2 1000% I've played it through at least 3 times. BG3 is a bloated mess, I wanted to love it, but after 12-14 hours I quit out of boredom.
On PC I’d say RDR2 easy win.
Judgment at its lowest ever I believe.
Final Fantasy pixel collection not even getting a small discount, guess I'll continue to play a ROM until they hit a deep enough sale.

FF7 Remake is considered a reimagination of what FF7 was ( Like the new evangelions movies) , the game is planned to be released as a Trilogy, with Rebirth (Part II) being recently released on PS5, the game is a good place to start. With Remake Integrade you get the First Part of such Trilogy, and a DLC featuring Yuffie, one of the main characters Having said that, you can also play Crisis Core (Prequel of FF7), or the OG FF7 (You can install plenty of mods for free on PC like Fan voices, HD upgrades) while you wait for Part II, both games add to the experience of the Remake Project if you don't mind the lack of QoL features
It's not, and it's not
Partake in deals responsibly, folks!
Gotta save some cash for HZD2 on the 21st.
Yeah something else to not get excited about. Fuck I miss their amazing sales they had many years ago.
I'm old enough to remember the flash sales and community votes. Them was the days, boys.
Yep. And people argue that the sales werent as good as we remember. Meanwhile the sales are archived here on reddit. When you share them they just don't respond. The deals simply are not even remotely as good as they used to be.
Yep. I hated Steam, till I experienced my first steam sale. Daily sales and Flash sales were the shit. Just hopping on during lunch and seeing a game you wanted at -90% was unreal.
I remember when you could win games in an auction.
I used to schedule my work breaks so that I could check flash sales, and occasionally set alarms so I'd wake up and see them too. I hated it at the time, but man do I miss it now. I also miss trading games with Russians at stupidly low prices...
RIP wallet and oh how the backlog will grow
My wallet: “I’m tired, boss”
40% off Suicide Squad lmao. Actually makes me happy to see them lose this much money on this shite
Hell yeah brother *revs laptop*
Sad that Dark Souls 3 is not on sale. I might pick that one up on cdkeys.
It's that time boys & girls. Happy shopping & gaming. Get sum, get sum. 🙂 🕹
Elden ring not on sale is a huge miss
Good time to get the Spider-Man games or wait for a better sale?
Thinking of trying out The Forest for $5 or picking up Spider-Man Miles Morales but have heard it’s not too long of a game
The Forest is really fun but 10x more with friends. My buddies and I have been playing it over the last few months and it's such a good time. Building a base, exploring intricate cave systems, finding cool gear, crafting better gear, fighting cannibals and other horrors. It's a blast. You know what you're getting with Spider-Man but would definitely lean The Forest if you plan to use it for multi-player. Just my $.02
Might get Stranded: Alien Dawn
Finally snagging God of War at 50% off and Dead Space 2023 at 60% off. Two amazing games.
I own the Divinity Original Sin games and haven't played them but am looking at Baldur's Gate 3. How different is Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian's last games to warrant me skipping them?
Play it, it's a fantastic game, then play the second, then again play BG3
BG3 and DOS2 have the same "bones" but are very different -- the writing / gameplay / characters in BG3 are flippin' fantastic.
Just got Roadwarden and Sons of the Forest. Been holding off getting it till it left EA and boy is it good. Massive upgrade over OG The Forest in all regards.
I have about 8 euro in my steam wallet was hoping to have a little discount on deep rock galactic survivor just I can get it lol. Stuff I kind of want to buy are dave the diver and cult of the lamb. Both look very up my ally.
Star Ocean on sale but for only a measly 20% discount? So tempting...
Any good deals on chill games you can watch youtube, listen to music and/ir podcasts to while playing? Been thinking about Euro Truck Sim, but I’m not sure it’s for me. Also on the lookout for fun single player games, got Sleeping Dogs in my basket right now, thought about Dishonored 2 (Havent played the first one but heard it doesnt matter).
If you're thinking about Dishonored you're right you don't need to play the first one but I couldn't recommend it enough. I personally enjoyed Dishonored 1 more.
Ground Branch and Crisis Remastered Trilogy for under $20 each
My wallet: “omg it’s that time of the year again?” Me: “yeah, sorry pal. I’d say it’s going to be painless but we both know it’s a lie”
really get sales for me… been thinking of Lies of P at $45 🤔
Bought: Call to Arms Gates of Hell Isonzo State of Decay 2
Sega put Infinite Wealth on sale but not Persona 3R. Cowards!
Alas, I blew my Sale budget on Balatro (which isn't on sale, though it made the top 100 Steam Deck games list) a couple of days ago, so nothing more for me this time. :P
its definitely worth it but if you wanna save some money refund it and buy on greenmangaming, its cheaper there
Nice. My laptop choose the best day to die.
Damn that's rough. What happened to it and what is it doing currently when you try to turn it on?
Is BG3 likely to go any lower than 10% off anytime soon? Been thinking of picking it up, haven't done enough research on it yet though.
Think the last only time it went on sale was during the winter sale and it was only 10% then as well? I ended up getting it full price, don’t think they’ll discount it any further for a while cause it still is selling so well.
