Final Fantasy is a good start in my opinion. If you can cope with a slow battle system, Trails in the Sky is well worth your money and time!

Neat. Already beat this game back in the day, but having it in the library is cool. Maybe I'll check out the DLC, is it good?
I tried F.3.A.R. but the controls felt like they were emulating a controller and felt floaty and wrong
Thinking about completing my Tomb Raider collection.
It's the true Steam experience.
Just earlier today I was browsing the thread on mobile and saw someone write about Tengami. Thought that I should buy that once I get home.
Cut to 5 minutes ago when I checked the store page to find out that I've owned it for over a year now.

One day I'll go back to it. Then I remember that I'm in mission 7 or whatever and the blue-haired lady always fucks up my whole team.

It was a key I just got in an email for a game that's selling for 99¢ right now so I used garbage dump due not counting as a win for whoever got it.
Yes, Trails is the best JRPG on Steam.
Valkyria Chronicles is great too.
Should have phrased it better but no not mass selling, just lets you sell each individual card with one click, at least I think that's an enhanced steam feature and not a standard steam feature? It beats clicking sell, looking at the chart, entering the price then agreeing to the terms and confirming for every card.
A quick sell all cards feature would be cool though.
So I just beat this game.
Really enjoyed it and was surprised and impressed with Tim Curry's cajun accent as Gabriel.
Strongly recommend it for any fans of PnC Adventure games though I would recommend using a guide if you find navigating through the original game to be difficult.
I just went to look at it in the store based on your recommendation and discovered I already own it. Gotta love it when that happens.

Cool, bought a copy of FEAR to give someone.
Just saw this, should make things even easier. Thanks!
Aside from the other mentions, there's also Tales of Zestiria. It has some issues, but it's a pretty fun action JRPG.
Hey guys, maybe you can help me. I'm wondering whether I should buy a Steam Link. Here's my situation:
- My PC is connected to a monitor and my TV via HDMI
- I have a very cheap 4K TV, it doesn't even have a Gaming mode or something, quite laggy but I don't mind in general
- GTX 770, gets the job done, couldn't be happier on the monitor but
- Not suited for the TV, SFV is in slow-mo (because it forces full frames, I know) and stuff like Ori is unplayable
- Also it's a weird mish mash of resolutions, the icons get all weird and expanding the desktop between the two screens is a inconvenient
So, would a Steam Link solve anything for me? I could plug it into my TV, connect it via ethernet cable so it shouldn't be too laggy and I wouldn't have to switch the Win10 display mode all the time, right?

I kind of miss the craziness of the flash sales - but this revamped format has led to me spending less. So far, I'm only out $6 for ABZU - which should be incredible on my new PC.
If you think your experience is too unresponsive when you PC is connected directly to your TV via HDMI, it will not be faster over a network. Get a TV with less latency :\

I suppose that's it, but it's weird how certain I was. Like, I thought I had seen it on Steam sometime during the sale.
Disappointed now that they didn't do a PC port for whatever reason.

Just curious, I got a decent amount in steam gift cards this christmas. I notice CIV 6 is 10% off, should I wait for it go lower (if it even will) or should I just get it now?
My thinking is that maybe it will be more convenient because of the different resolutions but in the end I could just mirror the PC screen onto my TV, right? Kind of wasting money at that point.

Darkness 2 ain't bad. It doesn't have the same speed as DOOM 2016 but it has some good things going for it
If you could hold out for a few more days I might be able to offer a trade.

I have the same slo-mo problem with SF5 on my TV. My TV has a game mode so I don't have any latency problems with other games.
Any way to fix this? I have an AMD R9 280 card.
I think the game just forces it to have an even playing field online. The only thing I can do is to limit the resolution. That way it's smooth as butter but with black borders. On my old HD Ready TV with the same PC setup it was perfectly smooth.
770 isn't suited for 4K it seems.

Oh yeah anyone care to recommend this game?
Never played this kind of genre before but this one intrigues me.
looks awesome. Visually that is Not low enough for an unknown tho
I don't have the problem on my monitor, only on my TV. When I play on my monitor it's smooth. When I duplicate the screen it's also smooth on my TV but I get a lot of tearing, so that isn't an option.
Tried different resolutions and also low-spec mode but that did not help.

It is not unknown...

It is a very good take at the gamebook genre. Personally, I prefer the Sorcery! games, which are visually less enticing but have a longer and richer story.
For the Firetop Mountain, we are talking about a dungeon which takes maybe 2 hours max to complete if you know what to do, but most of the runs, you will be exploring and taking notes. Think roguelike without procedural generation.
Have you tried booting your PC with only your TV connected so that it's the sole proprietary monitor? Obvs the TV is going to be less responsive, but your vid card shouldn't throw a wobbly trying to get the resolutions sorted if you're only outputting to one screen.
So I'm looking for some 2d action adventures or action rpgs to get in this sale. I've just recently got back into pc gaming (about 2 years ago) so I don't have a lot of games. Stuff that I like:
Hyper light drifter, Owlboy, All Ys games, Xanadu Next (all Falcom games really), Salt and Sanctuary. Gucamelee etc.. So far I've only gotten Darksiders and Shadow Tactics in this sale. Oh and anything on consoles, I've probably already bought.

Final fantasy games are still too expensive, they want $17 too much for FFX need to hold out a little longer

So... what is Reverie? A remake of 1?
Just tried it and still the same problem. Everything on the character select screen an during gameplay is slow motion on my TV.

Got $20 in Steam fundage this AM and bought Grim Dawn.
So, Grim Dawn + Rebel Galaxy so far.
Likely done though with $6+ still sitting there I may bite on something else.

Yeah, I do. I forgot to mention it though ^^. I don't have Momodora 3 though, so I'll check it out.
This is my current backlog/ what I'm playing

My favorite roguelike platformer post-Spelunky, Catacomb Kids, is $12.79/20% off and just got a major update that added a new region, new weapon types, and new NPCs that you ally with (or fight as relentless enemies)
Made a thread about the game last year

It's not exactly struggling to change the resolution. What I mean is changing the primary display, the icons and the OS gets all weird and ginormous or tiny.

I'm currently looking at:
- Subnautica
- Kerbal Space Program
- The Age Of Decadence
- Mad Games Tycoon
- Thea: The Awakening
Is there anything I can live without?? I'm not sure on what to buy...
Of course suggestions on stuff I might have missed are welcome

Added to my wish listIt's 30 FPS locked, the graphics aren't great and the animations in cutscenes are pretty garbage.
Doesn't mean it's not a blast to play though.
EDIT: wut??
