broken record time.

Paint it Back's content is ridiculous.

I've bought 11 things and I'm thinking about getting more but all I play is paint it black. I don't understand why it's so good...but it is.

From selling cards I've built my Steam credit up enough to buy Abzu.

Exploring underwater sounds great, but does it get boring if there's no danger? Unsure on if I want to take a chance on it.

Wow, never heard of Abzu, but it looks very interesting.

 

[LegionAgent]

Do you already own Ys Oath in Felghana or Ys Origin?

If u have not played the blackwell series before i would recommend this over deponia

Otherwise that is a good haul

Edit
As to your 2nd part consider these if u want more rpgs or adventure games

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking of going after new games instead of just sequels, which is why I haven't considered Ys origins, for example. Other suggestions for good RPGs on Steam?

 

[IcyRhythms]

Looking for some opinions on these three games. Is Mortal Kombat XL worth it? Have the problems been fixed on PC? I'd really only ever fight my friends. What about The Division and Dying Light? My friends new to PC gaming are looking for a fun co-op game. Just looking for some opinions.

Dying Light will be great for you and your friends! Best zombie action game

MGSV was one of the largest games ever made? What the fuck game did I play?

 

[Large Professor]

I got Space Moth DX and it's a fun bullet-hell. Also, it's really cheap:

The cards sell for a decent amount too. Bought.

What are the real performance hogs for GTA5? Even through the game is using half my VRAM (so it should run fine on high/ultra) it seems to drop frames in the benchmarks to where it's fluctuating between 30-50FPS.

It's a puzzle game, mainly. There are enemies.

I remember Grass had a big impact on my framerate. There's a good guide at http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/grand-theft-auto-v-pc-graphics-and-performance-guide

I have entered a world of assassination.

Yeah, that killed my FPS with a 970.

I went underwater and then found all of this seaweed and the framerate tanked. Returning to the surface was harrowing.

Hows grim dawn for single player same for dying light

 

[Rhaknar]

Hows grim dawn for single player same for dying light

fine for both

 

[LogicStep]

Hows grim dawn for single player same for dying light

Im having fun with it. It reminds me of D2.

 

[MUnited83]

also looking for advice.

contenders:

dirt rally
metal gear solid 5
hitman
earth defense force 4.1
arma apex
darkest dungeon

I want something I can spend a lot of time playing. don't really care that much about story. only one game

Edit:
forgot darkest dungeon..

Game of the generation.

 

[Skinpop]

Game of the generation.

ended up getting Dirt Rally since I don't own any racing games
I'll get Hitman at the next sale

 

[Grief.exe]

Final Fantasy Tactics is the only strategy RPG I've ever played and I loved it. Should I get Disgaea? What's so special about it? What keeps people motivated to keep leveling up their characters?

Try Shadow Tactics and Xcom, I've never played Disgaea.

 

[LurkerPrime]

So... Hitman is 62GB(!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?)

I'm currently stuck in pre-allocating hell so I don't have a final number, but that's a giant pile of bananas.
Edit: 37.2 GB. That's borderline reasonable, I guess.

Hows grim dawn for single player same for dying light

Grim Dawn is great fun singleplayer. It's like the D3 we never got.

 

[Deques]

Anyone wanna trade duplicate Steam Award cards with me?

 

[Angel Chay]

Awesome will pick up both

You could uncheck a few of the later episodes in the DLC dialog and get them later to download it sooner.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Are there any randomized loot games that are good that aren't well known? I have Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, Torchlight. I've played Path of Exile quite a bit. I love loot games. I have most of the rogue-like games, so TOME, Dungeonmans, Caverns of Quid. I think what I really want is a rogue-like ARPG with random loot.

 

[WEGGLES]

Is the DLC for Witcher 3 worth the price of admission on its own?

I have W3 for PS4, I bought it before upgrading my PC. Now I want to play the DLC but do not want to buy it on PS4 as a steam purchase is forever and PS4 is until I put my PS4 away, realistically. (Obv I can go back and plug it in down the road... but history has shown I generally don't do that).

Is blood and wine and heart of stone worth $41 CAD (price of GOTY edition), or should I wait for it to get cheaper in subsequent sales? Also looking at Darkest Dungeon, Dying Light: The following. Axiom Verge. Grim Dawn...

FWIW (and maybe this makes it a no brainer?) Witcher 3 was my GOTY last year and possibly my favourite game ever?

I haven't played it yet, but Blood and Wine won multiple RPG of the year awards this year, so I'm going to assume yes.

Everything about W3 is worth the price.

Is NOT A HERO worth it at 3.24? Looks interesting.

I put more time into Hand of Fate, than anything else I got.

Definitely.

im very close to breaking my "dont buy games that will obviously be bundled" rule with Pathologic HD, apparently this is very good (or the original was)? I was mixing it up with Dementium HD.

What exactly is Pathologic, from the screens it kinda looks like a rpg?

 

[CHC]

MGSV was one of the largest games ever made? What the fuck game did I play?

Yeah I don't know where this is coming from at all. After 20-something hours the repetition was almost too much for me to bear. Playing MGSV for 300 hours sounds more like a sentencing than a hobby to me. One of the most skeletal games I've played recently:

I would say yes, without a doubt. Hearts of Stone is the best quest in the whole game, and should take anywhere from 12-20 hours depending on your pace. Blood and Wine is a whole new zone, about the size of Skellige's main island, and I played it for about 60 hours. Main quest wasn't quite the masterpiece that HoS was, but nevertheless still pretty consistent with the rest of The Witcher III quality level.

Didnt u buy ghost 1.0 when it had a 10% discount?

 

[Rhaknar]

Didnt u buy ghost 1.0 when it had a 10% discount?

no I bought it when it had 50% discount, like 2 weeks after release, which nobody understood why it had such a discount.

swing and a miss Tizoc, swing and a miss. Nice try tho.

TW3 really redefined what story DLC can be. The price-to-content ratio puts everyone else to shame.

Soldak Entertainment exclusively makes those kind of games, and while I like them, I want to caution that they don't really have what you would call an "art & presentation" budget. Their demos are a good indication of the final product.

Depths of Peril

Depths of Peril is a single player action RPG (role-playing game) with strong strategy elements. You play as a faction leader protecting the barbarian city, Jorvik, by destroying threatening monsters and completing quests. At the same time, you compete with rival factions to see who will rule the city.

Din's Curse (+xpac)

Din, champion of the gods, has cursed you into a second life of service because you selfishly squandered your first one while causing misfortune to those around you.

Drox Operative (+xpac)

Don't ask me why, but the store page description is cut off:

Drox Operative is a starship action RPG with warring alien races, fierce space battles, a dynamic, evolving galaxy, and co-op multiplayer for Windows and Mac. Eons ago the Drox ruled the galaxy through their mighty Operatives. These elite starship captains were trained to accomplish the impossible at

Zombasite (haven't played this one)

Zombasite is a zombie apocalypse action RPG set in a dynamic, evolving, fantasy world for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I'll give you a "There's Something in My Eye" if you need. I have a spare.

thats the problem though, cant even trade for it..all trades would be pending for 15 days...which is long after the cards would expire.

Thank you for the offer though

There was literally nothing to do or see in the open world. It definitely had the stealth mechanics and control on lock without the mission areas but I feel like Hitman is the much better purchase at this point. Especially at the $15 price point from a month ago.

 

[Volimar]

They don't expire until February 2.

Valid until 2/2/2017, 12:00:00 PM

Well 3 things:

• Cards expire in February. there's till 30 days.
• Only receiving items don't need confirmation.
• There's still two days left to earn cards from Discovery Queues

Yep my feelings exactly. The most static, bland, and empty "battlefield" I ever laid eyes on. The disappointment still stings!

And yeah, Hitman is amazing. Every level is such a fun little playground.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Ah ok ill try and get it before then..thought it was jan 3rd. Also i didnt know you could get cards through queues....didnt see it anywhere on the front page this year =/

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I put more time into Hand of Fate, than anything else I got.

I'm cycling through all of my new games (it's a lot) but I know I'm going to end the evening completely addicted to Hand of Fate. It's incredibly good.

I have quite a bit of Steam credit and more is pouring in via cards but I'm probably going to stop buying stuff. I got around 100-200 new games in December alone, a lot of bundle fodder, but a lot of good stuff too.

EDIT: Heh, looks like I got charged for the Humble Monthly. Hmm, should I bother redeeming Vermentide or save it to trade or give away?

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Thanks got the card in a queue

 

[Volimar]

Lucky!



:2016imnotcrying: could have gotten a lot of use this year.
