okay last day I have 90$ in my steam account time to buy
As they should. Too bad most of the ones on Steam are garbage.
I got piles of 4x's. Which is fine, since I like 4x, that being said I have so many at the moment that I'm not looking for another.
My monitor refuses to cooperate XD i can't push 1440p at 60Hz but i can at 59Hz. But there is an issue with that too because after applying custom resolution there is 2cm/1inch black bar on the right side of my monitor and picture refuses to go full screen XD

Undertale upping it's price because of its popularity I see (it links to project cars)
I was just about to mention this. I haven't played it either so I don't know if there's puzzles/stealthing but it looks really cool. Open world so it's probably more focused on exploration than anything.
Big fan of the STALKER series, almost universally recommended. Seems like you're a shooter fan as well. It has lite RPG elements, so think of it like Fallout but more focus on combat mechanics.

Welp, time to buy a bunch of birthday gifts to store in my inventory for the next couple months.
I initially criticized the "no flash/daily" approach of the sale, but I ended up buying way more than I have in the past couple years.

Seconded. The STALKER series is one of my favorite series ever. Atmosphere and tension is second to none.

So i'm thinking of picking up a Ys game, ideally one of the 5.99 ones. Would origins or 6 be better to start? I'm not too concerned about the chronology, more just the best entry point game play wise, complicated isn't bad if it's smoother.
Also in general i've only really picked up some telltale games this steam sale, any last minute recommendations? I don't have a fantastic machine, it's an hp envy laptop with an A10 processor, maybe 4 years old. It runs fallout 4, but tends to disagree with that statement in the city areas. 30 FPS is not something i hold my breath for. I think I can pull 25-35 on tomb raider on med-high at 720p with shadows and water and fun turned off.
rpgs are mostly my thing but i like a bunch of different stuff. Go wild folks!

Ooh I have that on wishlist but heard it's short so I never got it
that vampire game? I bought it years ago and never gotten to it
people were like "It's activision, it'll never drop below 15 bucks, get it now!", yeah well!
really, I actually find the first game annoying lol
thanks for the recommendations, there are more than I thought
yeah I have kholat on wishlist, will probably check it out
you should totally try it out, it's clunky as hell but such a great game, lots of atmosphere and some really interesting mechanicsthat vampire game? I bought it years ago and never gotten to it
people were like "It's activision, it'll never drop below 15 bucks, get it now!", yeah well!
and it has that one section that is like a haunted house thing that's super scary lol
I finally played Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines for the first time this year.
The hype is real. Game is amazing, top to bottom.

The Park has no puzzles or stealth, just walking through a park. It's more psychological horror than pure horror though, few jump-scares etc. But yeah it's short, 2 hours max.
yeah I really should
It's just hard for me to get over the clunkiness for some older pc games, unless using a guide to point me at the right direction

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Bloodlines on a Steam controller, yo.

Check the queue while playing Gemcraft. Suddenly half the things to look at are tower defense. Don't know what I expected.
i really want a steam controller because a shitload of older games don't support a console controller and they totally would work with one
i wonder how league feels on steam controller
the only real reason to buy that thing
replaying as a malk or nosferatu is really entertaining too if u have the time for it
but it gets the job done, mostly, and everything else about the game is so great
i really like that setting tho, i used to play the pnp game so i'm biased
IS THIS WHAT IASHY FEELS LIKE EVERY DAY

yup, one of the best wrpgs of all time for sure
replaying as a malk or nosferatu is really entertaining too if u have the time for it
well it's not like clunky in that sort of way, it's not obscure or unapproachable, it's just a rpg stuck in source engine for no particular reason, so real time combat and shooting is there and it's awful. there's also stealth that's pretty crappy too
but it gets the job done, mostly, and everything else about the game is so great

i literally posted asking about it like 2 minutes ago lol

A bit late to reapond, but I would recommend Kholat. You basically are in a giant Russian mountainscape with nothing but a map, a compass, and coordinates. You then can freely explore the winter wonderland, fight notes, occassionaly evade enemies, but a lot of it is walking around and finding events. Which works because the game is gorgous, the events cool, and the story interesting.
Also, if you disliked Amnesia: The Dark Descent, don't let that cancel Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs as an option. A Machine For Pigs is oretty solid horror walking simulator with some incrediably light monster and puzzle sections, but it's mostly walking around. Has some nice touches, an interesting settinf, though the story is very pretentious, but for some reason I liked the game. Beautiful music, too.
One sort of rough recommendation I will give is The Old City: Leviathan. It's not whole horror, but it has its moments and each chapter has a hidden event that usually makes things more horror-y. I just warn, the game has a LOT of reading you can do, though the reading ties in nicely to the game's setting, and the setting is varied and gorgous.
There's others I can name if you want more.
That's exactly how I played it. Perfection.
So I've been told! The next time I play it will definitely be as a Malkavian. Not too interested in having to use the sewers to get around as a Nosferatu though.

you had me until rpg makerHello, what's this?
Sounds interesting. Yandere simulator for non-otaku folk? Genuinely didn't expect to find a good RPG Maker game I didn't knew about.
Let's dismiss a game just because of the tool used to make it.
Oh, didn't know that. Nice, sadly is free for backers only, I'll get it cheaper later.
yeah nosferatu is for like
a third of a playthrough
just to try it out and see how it works

YAY. The DLC is actually a stand-alone spin-off game, but you'll get a discount on it if you own the original DreadOut. Plus DreadOut is less than $4 right now.
Ine of my favorite somewhat 'old-school' indie horror games. It's low-budget, and some puzzles are cryptic, but the game has so much bariety and some actually really creepy scenes. To beat Acts 0-2 should take about 4-7 hours, and during that time it throws so many different scenarios and ghosts at you that are actually quite different.
There are some stand-out moments in DreadOut that will stick with me. My favorite bit of the game is towards the end of Act 2, there's a series of moments that are amazing one after the other. But it captures the intrigue of older horror games, and is quite the experience. If you can accept low-budget and some cryptic puzzles, I'd highly recommend it.
Also, tip. When the town turns dark and you can walk inside the building; Don't. Instead, turn back and head back to the car while its dark.
I find it amusing people are mad about the sale
people are still buying it left and right at retail
20% off wasn't needed, that was kindness probably.

Is the Long Dark worth it in early access? Or is there a better survival game currently out there?

I've played 1 or 2 not-shit games with rpg maker, so it's not impossible, I suppose.
I do like the idea of more murder mystery games.
kindness is a strong word, i'm sure they're following a logical sale schedule that makes sense for them
You should give it a chance. Corpse Party or whatever that released on PSP was made in RPG Maker, so not all of the releases are crap!

There is a spin-off game that was originally DLC known as DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark. It releases in 2016, features an open world with various objectives to complete. It features expanded versions of all the main locations of DreadOut in open world mannerisms, plus two entirely new locations, all 15-20 ghost of the original game, as well as 13 new ghosts.
Story-wise, it takes place during the period later in the main game
when Linda gets dragged into the mirror world in the mansion towards the end of Act 2.
On that note, $2 shouldn't make a huge difference.
I'm assuming it was actually moreso to grab everyone who said "I'll wait for a sale" even if the sale was very small.
Also isn't it only one guy?
CP lead to the two follow ups which are absolute trash, sooo

Here's some RPG Maker recommendations:

All of those but LISA are free.

but i thought the source engine is sorta modern! Everything else you said sounds awful tho so that's not helping.
And Iashy don't feel
yeah i'm going to give a machine of pigs a try, i sorta liked dear esther, The Old City: Leviathan is on my wishlist but good to know more on what it's about!

But seriously, if you guys have not played Ib, Witch's House, and Yume Nikki yet, you really need to ammend that. Those three are must-plays. And all three are free.
I can describe them more or link them if someone asks and is curious.

Now that the sale is wrapping up, remember we have a Community OT starting up right after the sale finishes.
We are also holding SteamGAF GOTY voting in that thread as well.
PM MRORANGE for any game recommendations you would like to make for the month of January (Looking at you Dusk for a RE0 writeup).
A lot of games are coming out in January so will need people to write for, Dragon's Dogma is already taken by Dog
February is looking amazing too
