Steam Autumn Sale 2015 thread of waiting for the Winter Sale

3D Realms Anthology seems pretty legit for $10, especially if you remember playing these games back in the day
 
Players is it's weak spot currently. US East server had around 50 on at a time. Granted the sale and that the 2.0 update a few weeks ago made a bunch of really positive changes it could of sky rocketed. Have not be on lately due to work schedule.

Ok but even with the low playerbase is it fun in coop with a friend?

Indeed, game is better with a friend( i play co-op with my brother). Once you get to the higher planets you can build the bigger bases and vehicles. Combat is arcade style enough so it does not get stale.

It does get a bit grindy but i find that for all those survival games.
 
So lame questions.

How is elite dangerous or ARK if you don't have any friends and isn't good at getting friends in game?
Will I still get enjoyment out of the games?

I love dinosaurs so that's the main pull for me in ARK so are they any good?

Last question: How is the performance in these games with a 970?
 
Everyone who doesn't own these games and has even the slightest interest in RPGs owes it to themselves to get that. Seriously.

Fantastic value there.

I've only bought Dragonfall. I've never played isometric RPGs before and I hope Dragonfall hooks me to the genre. I really dig the cyberpunk setting.
 
This JRPG Bundle seems like a good way to potentially earn some trading card money
 
That being said, Valve has allowed publishers to set a different discount for the Winter Sale, so unless you plan on playing/using/watching whatever it is that you're eyeing in the immediate future or it is in danger of being pulled due to, say, licensing issues, you'd be better off sitting on your hands for a few weeks (metaphorically, not literally).

Can't totally agree with this advice; last year a couple games I wanted had better discounts during the Fall sale than the Winter.

Pretty good discounts on most of my Wishlist items... Elite Dangerous 67% off means I'll finally bite. Age of Wonders III down to $8.99 will probably get my money also. And all the Endless Legend content. Sadly Undertale has no discount, but it is fairly new.
 
So, has Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition been for 75% intead of 66 like its now.
Because Skyrim Ultimate Edition is for 75% right now and is a newer game.

I already have New Vegas, but wanted to get the complete edition so i can have the dlcs much cheaper.
 
No FF sale was hopnig for good deals on Type 0 and V. Anyways what do you guys think of Castaway Paradise it's been on my radar for awhile now think it's worth it for the current price?

all I got for the brazilian price of $9

doubt it'll go cheaper on the winter sale and I feel like installing it today. Otherwise I might as well wait.
 
If Dragonfall doesn't hook you into the genre, nothing will.

Do other isometric classic RPGs (e.g. Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Planescape, which I haven't played yet) have similar combat? Because I think Dragonfall looks a lot like XCOM Enemy Unknown.
 
my wishlist is failing to load rip

Hearing a lot of great thing about Trails in the Sky, but it's been a while since I've enjoyed a JRPG (Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey were the last ones). Haven't enjoyed one since then. Is this something worth picking up despite a lack of interest in the genre?
it contests for my favorite cast in a game ever. an absolutely fantastic narrative that eclipses probably any other option you can think of. it does however follow a heavily linear progression with few dungeons and locks you into a single town before moving on to the next. on the flip side, the battle system is quite fun and versatile that allows some freedom in character customization. the game i can make the closest comparison to is grandia.

The Autumn and Winter Sales shared the same discounts for years. The exceptions were:

- Price mistakes
- Games that were featured deals during one sale but not the other, and
- Games that were not discounted at all during one sale but were during the other

#1 and #3 are still possibilities, but #2, which has historically been the big one, is not. I mean, it's certainly possible some publishers have elected for a deeper discount now and a lesser one for the Winter Sale, but I'd consider that unlikely to be the case to any notable degree -- sure, the Winter Sale runs for twice as long, but it's the one users look forward to the most as it's the longest and runs during a period which they're more inclined to have and part with spare cash. Games with lesser Winter Sale discounts are just asking to be ignored until they're discounted again in the future as it's the opposite of what people expect.
 
It never works out. All you get is some really bad RPG's for a smaller sum.

Well in this case you're getting a total of 12 trading cards that are currently worth about $0.08 each, though this may go down since the games are so cheap (although individually they've all sold for $0.20 each on sale in the past).

So after Valve's cut you're likely to make about $0.60 from all of them, or about $0.11 profit. Not exactly like winning the lottery, but definitely worth it if you were thinking about giving the games a try anyway and are interested in getting your money back and possibly more.

What do you most enjoy in games of the genre? Trails in the Sky, despite focusing on story, has more than enough qualities overall to appeal to various players, so long as they can deal with occasional slow pacing and formulas.

Major stylistic influences on TitS FC + SC include: the Lunar series (adherence to classic tropes, large party with changes in lineup based on plot/size/battle restrictions), Suikoden (focus on politics between organizations and citizens, intense amount of detail for main characters), Dragon Quest (more complex NPC development than usual, genre originator, accessibility), Grandia (battle system feels derived (though maybe less complex), large emotional/scale contrasts within and between games), and Falcom's previous Legend of Heroes/Ys titles (mix of advanced tech with everyday people struggling to keep up, ancient civilizations returning to the modern world, foreshadowing and paranoia hidden in the cracks, &c.). Some folks would call this JRPG visual novel-like, but I bet Tolkien's influence wasn't lost on Falcom when they decided to make a text-heavy world you can explore and where some things happen whether you're here, there, or nowhere.

Some are turn based like the Shadowrun games, others are real-time with pause.

The Shadowrun games have turn-based combat. CRPG classics like Baldur's Gate have a real-time with pause style of combat, which is a very different thing.

I want to say Fallout 1/2 are turn-based as well, but now that I think of it I've never played them.

Shadowrun Hong Kong and especially Dragonfall are Very Good, Indeed™. A high quality rating. If you're thinking about them, they're probably for you.
 
One day Grim Dawn will be released :(

Also, kinda bummed at only 50% cuts on some games. Holding off for now, hoping for bigger cuts in December.
