Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I’ve had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?
Besides that, I’m going to try and play some more Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I’m still in the early stages of both.
I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what’s the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.
I like it a lot. It’s not my favorite of the games, but I think it’s a great game whether played in a public lobby or not. I do usually prefer a private lobby, but not always.
I was really positively surprised by it! Picked it up two years ago and thought I’d spend a couple of hours in it. I’ve spent almost 200 hours in Appalachia by now - one of my favourite comfort games!
I grabbed a bunch of adventures over at GOG: Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard, The Last Door, Black Mirror, Quern, and newly rereleased JRPG classic Breath of Fire IV.
Okay, no spoilers, but I personally really liked Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard a fair bit. It was the first point and click adventures I’ve played, unless I’m mistaken, and it’s amazing IMO.
No spoiler to a certain scene but my favorite line in the game comes from one of the many game overs and it’s just the English voice actor for Finn kinda doing an angry adlibbing right before it happens. Absolute gem of dialogue.
Like, your first ever point and click adventure?
As far as I can remember, yeah. They skipped me because I was mainly a console and flash game kid in a time when point and click adventure games were becoming less popular as a genre.
Right in time for their revival, then.
I have a lot of games I haven’t played yet in my library, so I will patiently wait for another sale
Where can I learn this skill?
Understood. Buying all the Star Wars games.
This is the way.
I know this isn’t all _that _ helpful but for me what worked was finally forcing myself to start playing a couple of the games in my backlog. It made me realize that I can really enjoy a lot of the games I already own which decreased my desire to buy more games.
Vein. Bought a full copy today, been playing their free demo version. Still in development, but potentially a great game for people who enjoy crafting survival. You explore and scavenge for components you need to build supplies to survive. Everything can be broken down with the right tools. It’s not a fast-pace bloody hack and slash game, but more focused on building, occasionally dealing with zombies that want to eat your brains.
It’s like a first person Project Zomboid. Lots of potential
Just added the demo to my library, thanks for the recs
Can you play with friends?
I’ve seen the YouTube channel Hat Films do a three player co-op in it.
Have not tried it, but there are supposed to be multiplayer options. Not sure how well it works, sounds like there are plans to fix bugs (whatever they may be) in the near future.
here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam’s offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG’s; less so.
True, I however got a Steam voucher as a present recently so it made more sense to use it for this. GOG doesn’t do vouchers or do they? Couldn’t find it last time I looked, you can gift specific games though. I might just be blind.
Anyway, to keep with theme of the thread I got 3 games for my voucher:
Dave the diver
Tunic
The last campfire
I remember Stranglehold being mind-blowing for its time. I’m pretty sure I had a physical copy that is long gone, but 5 bucks is not much to see how it has held up.
Also strongly considering breaking my early access rule to check out Jump Space. The main thing holding me back is trying to get a few friends to pick it up as I don’t want the crew to just be me and a bot.
Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.
Zomboid?
Dwarf fortress :)
Going to play V rising with the homies
None of my wishlist games were under 10€ so I skipped all of the deals there. Instead I bought (or put to the cart as I wanna sleep over my decisions) lots of DLCs to Total War Warhammers, Powerwash Simulator and other games I already own and like to play.
One new game I want to purchase is the Case of the Golden Idol which looks really interesting
Good idea, the Total War Warhammer 3 DLC are appealing (when you just want to own all those factions), but base price is just too steep for individual expansions
Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
This appears to be written in English, but I can’t make sense of it.
We must feed the backlog, always.
Number go up.
makes completion rates go down though, and adds an awful lot of zeroes (hours played)
net negative on the numbers, chief
We’re entertainment dragons.
We sleep upon the amassed collection of potential future fun in every unplayed game.
Once you try the game, you may realize that you don’t even like it.
Rookie move.
I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it’s still fun.
2 days ago snatched Tomb Rider trilogy for under 6 euro.
Today got Slay the Spire, Witcher 3 and Detroit: Become Human for under 10.
The original trilogy, or the reboot trilogy?
Probably talking about the 1, 2 & 3 remastered set that just came out as I just grabbed it too. Original trilogy.
You can switch between the original and remastered graphics instantly, at any time, by pressing start. You can also use tank controls if you’re a masochist
Reboot. But Was thinking to get remastered too
Might be time to grab Psychonauts 2 at -85% (C$12). The first game was great. Not too much else I’ve been tracking is at a price I’d go for at the moment, though I haven’t looked past my wishlist for now.
It’s not as good at the first one, but still good.
I spent way too long thinking “my body is a machine…” was the title of a game lol. Incredible meme.
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is usually around $20 and seems worth it at that price and it is at $10 which seems like a genuinely great deal for a city builder/transit game.
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/workers-and-resources-soviet-republic/info/
Riftbreaker at $11 is tempting too
Workers & Resources is such a cool idea for a game, but man it’s intense. You don’t just paint roads, you have to buy the machinery and materials, and pave them manually. As just one example
To each their own, I bought the game because of that kind of thing!
