Which is the better RPG fallout 4 or witcher 3? Have a GTX1080 arriving at the weekend and want to take it for a spin.

Witcher 3 is a better RPG, a better game, and a better graphical showcase on a glorious 1080. No contest.

 

[Uzzy]

I'm getting Vampire Bloodlines or whatever. So many people have talked about it and it's on sale. Now I need to figure out what mods to get.

First timer? Get the unofficial patch, as it's essential to actually playing the game. Nothing else. At least for your first time.

Already bought Rise of the tomb raider and Doom.

Bethesda doesn't even make RPGs anymore fam.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

Disappointing that they are doing such a lame price cut on Shadow Complex Remastered btw.

They gave it away for free so I guess that's understandable.

 

[Kysen]

W3 it is, thanks!

 

[Xeteh]

Witcher Vets should I start 3 on hard? I've played it before on normal on ps4. How tough is hard mode?

It comes down to how much you like the combat.

I fucking love the Witcher games. 3 might be one of my favorite games ever... I'm not a huge fan of the combat, the harder difficulties felt stupid to me. There are plenty that love the combat and if you're one then yeah, starting with hard is the right call.

Witcher 3, by far. Fallout 4 doesn't really give you the option to make the character your own, you get the whole "WHERE IS MY SON?!" thing in every story quest even if you spent 30 hours doing every small time wasting side quest. Witcher 3 is a game with far better writing, the side quests are by far the best in any open world RPG I've ever played... I've played through Witcher 3 three times at this point and I expect I'll do a 4th here soon. I might be the wrong person to ask, Witcher 3 is one of my favorite games ever and despite putting like 160 hours in to Fallout 4. Most of that time was me trying to make the game more fun, I love the idea of Bethesda games but I fucking hate the execution.

 

[Beeblebrox]

Would anyone be up for getting a 2-pack of Offworld Trading Company?

I'm thinking of buying the Deluxe Edition, which costs 30€, and comes with additional game key, so I'd gladly sell that second key for 15€ (regular sale price for the game is 20€).

 

[gogojira]

I bought Doom full price like a week and a half ago lol.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

The game at the top of my wish list is Grim Dawn and it only has a 25% discount.

Oh well, more time to play Overwatch. I guess I'll check Steam again in the Winter Sale.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

You can get a refund if you haven't played it more than 2 hours.

 

[gogojira]

Does save data remain? Think I'm going to go for it though I'm just over 2 hours.

Edit: Going for it but I'm definitely over 2 hours ... by 2 hours lol.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

When are new sales supposed to be added?

 

[DPB]

Looking at Wizardry 6-8, anyone oldschool able to say if they hold up at least decently for someone who's played little from that era? My only reference is Ultima 4 which i played at the start of this year and really enjoyed it. I especially making my own maps and keeping a notebook of clues and figuring (mostly) everything by myself. However some of the hidden walls/switches in the dungeons were ridiculous and the combat sucked pretty bad.

I know they're only $4 altogether, but I guess I'm more asking if they're worth the time investment? On a related note I'm wondering if Wizardry 1-3 are worth playing and how one would go about buying them. I couldn't find them on Steam or GoG and Amazon has them pretty expensive for 30+ year old games.

I liked Wizardry 8 a lot, I haven't played the others but at that price it's worth it for 8 alone. The combat system and party building are some of the best in the genre. Also, I'm not normally keen on RPGs where you create a party, but I liked how picking a voice set gives them a personality too - it's like a middle ground between those and ones where you recruit NPCs only. If you do I get it I'd recommend using this combat speed mod, since there are many lengthy battles in which you'll be waiting around while monsters move.

 

[Pheace]

I got XCOM 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Penumbra, SOMA, Witcher 2, and The Long Dark

Quick question, are most of the bugs fixed in XCOM 2?

Can't speak for the current bugs as I'm waiting for the last DLC to drop before replaying it but it was very playable on release already imo. Sure, performance has some issues but man, well worth playing. Really wish they'd dropped the DLC before the sale

 

[Santiako]

When are new sales supposed to be added?

There are no more sales.

 

[data]

When's the hidden gems thread?

 

[PeskyToaster]

If I can find it there's some huge reddit thread somewhere of all the best mods for it.

First timer? Get the unofficial patch, as it's essential to actually playing the game. Nothing else. At least for your first time.

Yup first timer. Thank you very much!

 

[DPB]

When are new sales supposed to be added?

Unfortunately, what you see is what you get. Like the last winter sale, there are no dailies or flash sales.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Does save data remain? Think I'm going to go for it though I'm just over 2 hours.

Not sure about that one. I haven't done a refund before so I don't know what exactly happens to the save data. I imagine it will be intact, but don't quote me on it since I'm not certain.

Edit: Oh bummer.

 

[Enk]

Whelp here's my damage for today and for probably the rest of the sale. Been on a side scrolling adventure game kick lately so some of these purchases reflect that. Managed to even get my summer badge crafted on the very first day!

Hyper Light Drifter
Dex
Enter the Gungeon
Mystik Belle
Sunless Sea
Environmental Station Alpha
Aerannis
Pharaoh Rebirth
Ghost 1.0
MetaGal
Doom '16

11 down and about 500+ on my wishlist to go! ;-(

 

[CHC]

I have a GTX 1070 coming early next week. Ryse for 5 bucks worth it?

(I basically just want da grafx. I don't mind an occasional mediocre-ass game like The Order, just as a frame of reference.)

 

[kevin1025]

Have purchases been sorted or are there still errors occurring?

 

[KillerDark]

I got XCOM 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Penumbra, SOMA, Witcher 2, and The Long Dark

Quick question, are most of the bugs fixed in XCOM 2?

I played it at launch and even then there weren't that many bugs. Pretty polished overall

 

[Steel]

Xcom2 has a modest sale going on. -40%. That being said, the season pass is half off.

 

[hohoXD123]

What's the deal with Kentucky Route Zero?
I want to buy it, but posters are complaining that is has taken over 8 months to get to chapter four (if it ever releases) and the developers don't reply on the forums.
I don't want to buy an unfinished game.

I wouldn't bother for now. By the time the next act releases, you'd have forgotten half the story anyway. Just buy it when all the acts are finished.

 

[Xeteh]

Yup first timer. Thank you very much!

There was one specific thread I was looking for but I cannot find it but Uzzy hit the most important one. Sorry I'm not very helpful.

Have purchases been sorted or are there still errors occurring?

Seems like errors are still happening. Mine wasn't a big deal, it got hung up after "purchase for myself" but I gave it 5 minutes and checked my library and the game was there. That being said, I'm still holding off on my next purchase.

 

[therealminime]

Probably won't get much more:
Oxenfree
Pony Island
Stasis
Transistor
Hacknet

 

[MulderYuffie]

anywhere I can find a list of all the "bundles" you can buy on Steam like the digital homicide mega sale/ fun with physics bundles and etc?

 

[Volodja]

Have purchases been sorted or are there still errors occurring?

My purchase is still pending, I don't know about new purchases.

There are hints that next act is close. Very close.

Spoiler

So about 6-12 months.

 

[AuthenticM]

I was finally able to buy 8-Bit Armies, Cities: Skyline and their DLC.

 

[KillerDark]

Dusk Golem's excellent hidden gems thread

Awesome, thanks for the link! Hadn't seen that topic yet

Yes.

 

[MUnited83]

When are new sales supposed to be added?

99% of the sales are already live. There's a chance that stuff that doesn't have any discount whatsoever gets discounted later though.

 

[hohoXD123]

Sure, but then you'd need to wait several centuries for Act 5.

 

[Speevy]

Would it be fair to say that with the exception of scantily clad anime trash, most games rated as "overwhelmingly positive" are probably good?

We need to do a thread of only games that achieve this rating.

 

[CHC]

Yes.

Cool, thanks. Also watching a review, seems perfectly good enough for 5 bucks worth of entertainment.

 

[explodet]

Yeah, I can remember Forest Of Doom from my childhood, so thought I'd buy the lot

House of Hell was my jam.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Dusk Golem's excellent hidden gems thread

Thanks hopefully some newer games to try out in that thread.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Dusk Golem's excellent hidden gems thread

Goin' IN.

Hopefully come up with some gems for day 2's purchases.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

I;m so confused. Where are the bundles listed in the store?

 

[mrklaw]

Remember that Hover Junkers is VR only (and Vive only as far as I know)

They've shown it working with oculus touch already but it is VR only

 

[HyperCroutons]

Is Batman: Arkham Knight optimize well now for PC?

I have a R9 390X and the reviews seem to have gotten better on Steam.

I was just going to ask the same thing. I can't find them.

Awesome should be good to go.

 

[Xeteh]

First Person Puzzle Bundle
JRPG Bundle
Building Bundle
Point and Click Bundle
Survival Bundle
Party Games Bundle
Metroidvania Bundle
Turn Based Strategy Bundle

Also, Adult Swim's bundle: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/153/

 

[UberLevi]

I managed to buy Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for $9.59 because I already owned BL1 and BL2 GotY editions, so the Triple Pack was discounted cheaper than the standalone.
