Steam Winter Sale 2016 thread of hoping for better deals elsewhere

If I were to purchase one classic Doom game, which should it be? i don't feel like I need them all.

You should absolutely buy Doom 1 and 2. Doom 1 has some amazing level design (although I'm not fond of episode 2) and 2 has the best megaWADs. That said if you're really pressed for cash, download the shareware of Doom 1 and play it though gzDoom as the first episode was the best one.
 
Any suggestions for someone wanting a Metroidvania WITH a stat/equipment system? Like a typical Igavania.

Also of all my purchases this sale, SanctuaryRPG is my fave so far. Just finished act 1 and it was pretty damn good.

Is Nier Automata truly PS4 exclusive? In this Sony 2017 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX-yEgpxpHQ&feature=push-u

Games like Hellblade has the "Console Exclusive" sticker on it, but Nier has "PS4 exclusive"

I hope not cause I want to play it on PC.

Sony is just incompetent in labeling that shit.

Actually I don't know if it's incompetence or intentional.
Considering what they said at PSX about some games being exclusive or not, it's probably intentional.
 
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance predicted everything...

I have 24.- swiss bucks left. What do I get?

Firewatch 11.-
Hyper Light Drifter 11.-
Inside 13.-
Superhot 16.-
Broforce 4.-
Mark of the Ninja 4.-
Day of the Tentacle Remastered 5.-

Why is buying games so hard...


Can someone add me to the NeoGAF Steam group please? I see it's invite only.

Add me as well please?

edit: thank you!
 
Just finished King's Quest (well, the five episodes. I bought the classic Sierra bundle but it gave the episodes separately so I don't get the epilogue) with all 53 achievements (in other words I had to replay a few chapters to get them all, and with autosaving that's not too easy.)

I'm gonna post full impressions when we go back to the regular Steam thread, but I'll just say don't expect episodes 2-5 to be as long or as fulfilling as episode 1, but taken as a whole it's a good story and a fitting place to end the series.

Of the one you listed, I only played Broforce, Inside and DotT. I highly recommend Inside, It's a short game but it stays with you. One of my GOTYs
 
Mark of the Ninja is great. My favourite Klei game by a country mile.
Thanks I am going to pick up Talos and Wolf among us for sure then. And then decide between Dragon Age and Dragon's Dogma and Terraria

Terraria if you're looking for a best-in-class block builder, DDDA if you're looking for an epic RPG, DAO if you're looking for an engrossing story.
Went ahead and got ESO for me final purchase of the sale since people seem to think so fondly of it now. If I can get some of the freedom and exploration that I love about GW2 I'll be happy.
I got ESO recently myself. It seems pretty bad at first, until you realise the absolute freedom you have to do what you want. There are no level restrictions, and plenty of secrets, which gives a lot of room to experiment and have fun. Like, you can actually be a thief (and steal / get caught) which adds a whole dimension to ESO that other MMOs don't have. It's also really nice to have the option to do something other than zone quests, which are MMO-standard in their awfulness. The biggest negative is the community--it seems terrible so far, at least in zone chat.

I'll admit though, for a while I thought rhaknar and jshackles (or whoever it was praising ESO) had hoodwinked me.
 
Steam trading thread seems to be dead, so does anyone want to trade sale cards? Looking for 3 of Just 5 More Minutes and I have these to trade:

Game Within a Game x3
Villain Most in Need of a Hug x3
I Thought This Game Was Cool x3
Whoooaaaaaaa, dude! x2
Game Within a Game x6
Best Use of a Farm Animal x1

still need cards? I can trade 1 of my "Just 5 More Minutes" for one of your "game within a game"
 
As I was pairing my controller I noticed 2 "Unknown" Bluetooth devices ready to pair, any idea what could these be have I left something on or could my neighbor have bought something? How big is the range in BT?
 
Got about £30 left in my steam wallet.

Want to get a slightly more expensive game, narrowed it down to:

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Hitman Complete First Season

Which would you guys recommend?

Also is Nuclear Throne worth it? I know it doesn't go on sale but trailers for it look good. Big fan of Binding of Isaac, however Enter The Gungeon didn't seem to hold my attention after 10-12ish hours of play.

Zone chat in the starting zones is faaaar worse than everywhere else hehe. Once you move about more, it'll get better/less puerile.
 
Titanfall 2 at 144fps is so beautiful. I think I'm in love with this game

Yes, get SUPERHOT. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

Also, someone sell me on The Witness. I think I want it, but I'm not 100% sure.

The Witness is the best designed puzzle game I've ever played.

I'd like to play a decent sim/management game, any suggestions?

I've got Cities Skyline which I fool around with once in a while. I grabbed Project Highrise earlier and it's not doing it for me. Anything else good?

RimWorld, Lethis: Path of Progress, Banished, and Factorio come to mind.
