It's 6. I bought it pretty much blind since Wintory Soundtrack, Journey devs and pretty fishes.

same
the idea that "something you want to buy is on sale but it might be MORE on sale in 3 days for 4 hours" is somehow "fun" is something I cannot fall in line with
I can buy what i'm interested in, others can buy what they're interested in, and here on GAF we have the "cool things you might not know about" post during these sales and I can just use that to see if anything I didn't get piques my interest
These two sentences are at odds with eachother

IT BEGINS.
They are mostly playable but could have been better.

Everything on my Wishlist only -50% off...
Will deals get better as the sale goes on or is this as good as it gets this year?
Only 50%!
This is the best it will get on Steam this year.

Steam cards are BOGO 10% off this week at Target, and if you have a Red Card you get an additional 5% discount too.

Gonna finally pick up the Shadowrun games from Harebrained, possibly Cities as well. Not seeing much else that I haven't already played.

Eh? Sometimes a game can sound interesting from the description, but it doesn't explicitly state it's a VR title until further down the page.
ABZU for 6? Get!
Still have to decide between Phantom Brave and Xanadu Next...
Can't talk about FFXIII-2 but in FFXIII the framerate is all over the place. It's playable but certainly could've been better.

Well its really poorly optimized and worse in every way...unless you just wanted for the +1
Metal Gear Rising is 75% off. Maybe it didn't update in your browser?
Heard a lot of good things about Pony Island, it's dirt cheap right now.

with 50% i would say RD easily, but the best would be to get both, fata and root
Thanks both of you. I've still got some thinking to do but I'm leaning towards Root Double now. I've heard very good things about it.

Money in my Steam wallet and I'm just sitting here staring at my wishlist wondering why I don't feel the urge to actually buy anything
any story-oriented or art-based games that you guys reccommend? just wrapping up oxenfree,
looking for things like Abzu, firewatch...those styles and artistic games
anyone?
I haven't played it myself yet but had it in my queue / list for a while, but maybe look at Time Frame

Oh baby
VII is also $5.99, the page was just bugging out
Ive never played any final fantasy game. What game should i play as a showcase of what ff makes so great?
I only have a ff3 on ds still sealed, but meanwhile its too expensive to open and play it lol.
I enjoyed some of the nintendo rpg like etrian odyssey, strange journey and dragon quest on ds. Lost Odyssey on 360 was also great.
So where can i start?

Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan any good? Well optimized?

listen to the mad man
If you liked Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy X are probably the closest living relatives. That's not necessarily what I would recommend if you hadn't said that, they're not necessarily my favourites, but it'd be an easy bridge to cross. Of the older titles, Steam is not the best platform to play 3, 4, 5, or 6. A lot of people would recommend 7 and the PC probably is the best place to play FF7.

VI. But the sprites on the PC version look like shit. Apart from that I believe it's supposed to be a very good port.
FFX
I think it's the easiest to get into. Voiced, great world and story, top-tier battle system.
The series is numbered but each installment is separate, so you don't need to play the earlier games to understand them.
6 is good but I recommend playing it on the SNES or emulating that version somehow.
X is a cool game.

Slim pickins for me this go-round. Think I'll grab Steamworld Heist, maybe Black Mesa, but other than that...I can wait.
Based on your liking for LO, I'd go with FFX.
(I'd also recommend VI but the Steam version looks ugly, albeit playable. But there's better options if you have them.)
I was going to gift a couple of copies - been playing both versions recently and its playable enough to justify the purchase.

FF7 is the only right answer.

Final Fantasy X imo. If you enjoy it, go back and explore the older entries.
Some of them are pretty different from eachother though. (IX, for example is the PS era game most similar to the classic entries)

Can't speak for 13-2 but 13's UI lags the game out something fierce unless I start the game right after restarting my computer. Not turn off/turn on mind you, just restart.
Go figure.

How are you people not recommending FF7?
Looked at my wishlists... wow, what has become of the Steam Winter Sale. Max 50% off across the board pretty much. And I don;t have anything from this year on my wish list even.
Though I shouldn't be surprised, it's been like this for a couple of years. Maybe next year I'll buy some stuff.

I'd recommend FF4, 6, and 8 before FF7.
How are you people not recommending FF7?
VIII and IX are both massive improvements IMO.
this too.. + X
The older games are good, but could definitely be hard for a newcomer to the series to get into in the modern day. That's why I'd recommend XHow are you people not recommending FF7?
