The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing
The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing
Thanks! I have just bought a bunch of new games I will most likely never play.
I am a game collector. I don't play them, I just collect them.
Make sure the virtual packaging is never opened!! The moment that "hours played" marker isn't 0 anymore, it looses all collectability value
thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!
Bought BG3 at a discount! 💪
Enjoy. One of the best games ever made.
Agreed. Also a good time to buy it. Act 3 was so buggy on release but they've been shooting out patches non stop for the last year almost
It's "Escape From Robotropolis"?
Dear Ubisoft.
This is what a AAAA game looks like.
It's honestly the only modern game worth $70 imo. One campaign run is like 126+ hours. Additional playthroughs are possible from other characters, which tells the story from different perspectives. Can go to areas you missed in the first playthrough, too :)
BG3 is the only game I choose to bought at full price. It's well deserved.
I'm VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I'm worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/
If you're still considering it, you can get it for like $10-$15 on GOG. Same price of steam but DRM Free, and it's almost always onsale.
FO4 was...okay imo. It pales in comparison to NV and 3 imo though.
As someone who couldn't tolerate F3/NV because they paled in comparison to 1/2, I actually really enjoyed 4. It lost a lot of the engine jank and felt like a decent FPS with light RPG mechanics, wearing the aesthetics of Fallout.
Imo, FO4 did everything better than FO3, except the plot. But FO3's plot was already kinda bland to begin with. I mean, back then... It was incredible. But not by today's standards.
If you liked FO3 you'll like 4.
It's a lot stronger mechanically than 3 or NV - shooting is a lot less janky and the gun customization adds some great emergent quests.
The Boston of FO4 has its moments - a certain duck pond stands out to me in particular - but aside from Nick Valentine the questlines are largely forgettable.
Still, the core game loop is a lot of fun - go here, blow stuff up, scavenge bits to upgrade your stuff.
As a longtime Fallout fan (came for the isometric apocalypse, stayed for the 3D googie architecture) I still put 80 hours into FO4.
It's a good fuckin' game. It's just competing with the legacy of a lot of other great games in the series.
4, for it faults, is a wonderful framework for mods and survival playstyles.
Enjoy!
I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!
What's the name of the game?
https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/100CozyGames
makes me think of this, but these are “free”?
Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.
If you haven't played it already - Inscryption - by the same author - is also really good.
... and I should lay off the emdash for the rest of the night.
I can second this, wasn't into card games when Inscryption released but I was hooked on it until completion. Excellent game.
Great game!
Huge fan of that game. Can’t wait for the second one
Bought that game years ago as a joke and it ended up actually being a cool indie game lol
is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at this point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years
Goodbye, money.
If you buy Backpack Battles you can get a copy of Slay the Spire for free ... just sayin'. I mean I am totally not hoping for a lot of people to hop on Backpack Battles, so I will have a lot of people to play against forever. 😏 It has a demo, so no blind buying necessary. It is Early Access but worth every Cent in my eyes.
Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.
Ohh I played those so long ago during a really difficult time of my life, they were definitely a fun escape and the story felt well suited to a point and click.
Secret world had such a good setting. Unfortunately it wasn't a good MMO. But damn those riddles were cool. And I had to look up most of them because they were hard and you often needed outside sources.
I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don't think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.

cries in steam is no longer a viable store where I live
Why is that? What happened?
I'm not in an affected country, but from what I can gather from what happened most recently:
Steam changed their pricing policy in relatively poor countries from localized affordable prices to strictly usd equivalent because people in other countries were using vpns to make accounts in those poor countries to get games for what would be pennies for them.
I don't remember which countries were involved in the first place, but in those countries now where they don't make as much money on average, but everything is much cheaper, some steam games can cost the equivalent of a month's salary.
That's why the store isn't viable in those countries anymore.
Edit: Here's a source

Indeed f, indeed
With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can't justify buying games I'll never even have time to play
...which is fine. The finals is great!
I've been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I'm not great at team based games.
It's excellent, and I mainly play with randoms. The toxicity not so bad if you accept the BS that comes with random partners. Personally I have only dealt with some shithead teens and one guy who got mad I kept healing him. You get quitters quite a bit like in any PVP game, but it fills quickly. I have voice chat disabled 90% of the time, since pinging is in the game. The destruction is peak physics destruction in a multiplayer game, some of my favorite moments in any game have come from the pure chaos of things falling apart in the Finals. They also added a new 5v5 mode that feels way less frustrating and more casual (to me at least).
I imagine it's even better if you've got a trio of well coordinated players, I've certainly played against some nasty trios in my 80 hours. Personally I think this is the most unique PVP shooter out right now, and it's extremely polished for F2P.
Turn off voice chat and have a great time :)
Fellow rhythm gamers, the DJ Max Portable 3 DLC is 80% off, get it for the best version of Supersonic.

Sorry but Dragon's Dogma 2 releases next week and I won't need to buy any other games for a while after that.
Somehow the game is 100$ Canadian, I really want to play it but i'm definitely waiting a while. Gonna mention Millenia, which comes out in 9 days and is an excellent looking civilization competitor, i'm definitely looking forward to that.
That looks neat. Wishlisted.
Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.
snagged some chill games, Sim City 4, Unpacking, and Lego Builders
Grabbed Age of Empires II and oh my gosh it's spectacular, great storyline, unique missions, just wow
The words of a saint! Man I fall into this trap every fucking time
Get ready to spring steam from your ears people
Dadlyni feel like I own everything I want. And will never play, ans bew games discounts aren't worth it.
