Yeah, I have to really want a game to scoop it up on a sale that isn't at least at 50% off.
But then I run into what happened with me and Dark Souls 3 where, despite loving the series, I just let it sit for 8 months and 3 or 4 better sales before actually playing it.
That hurts.
Mods, permaban plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
From what I watched of someone on Twitch, it still seemed to lean closer to Lords of the Fallen, which I found interesting all the way up until it fell off the cliff to boredom. The Surge looks really good. The shadows and darker locations, particularly. There's a cool targeting system where you can focus appendages to get different loot drops, with some risk to doing so. I just watched it, mind you.

To be fair I only played Dark Souls 1 a long time ago and it was mainly just turned off by the attributes and stuff as it was quite confusing on how to develop a character. Maybe I will try again. I do prefer The Surge setting though.

Is it possible that steam charges your credit card first and then refunds the amount that is on your wallet?
I'm trying to figure out why it won't process my 25.32 euros order due to insufficient funds, even though I have like 24.59 on my card and 1.67 in the wallet, and steam says that the total cost for the card would only be 23.87, so it should be good. Have no idea what's the problem. Started checking out all my subscriptions to see if somehow Humble didn't charge me for the monthly, but nope.

Character development in souls is actually fairly straightforward, i'd very much suggest you give it another go sometimes.
When i play souls nowadays i basically only skill DMG in a full on glasscannon build and have a jolly good time

Dead Cells is cheaper on Wingamestore and Bundle Stars. But I'd say it's worth it at full price.
For me Hollow Knight and Dead Cells are must haves if your into that kind of genre incredible games.

Hollow Knight is amazing so yes buy, Dead Cells is great, as stated above it is slightly cheaper elsewhere. It is a good Rogue Legacy type game. The only other game I have played on your list is Death Spank and I would cut that. There are just better and cheaper action RPGs out there.

On these hot Summer days there's a high demand for Lemonade.
If you mod up OG Doom 1 & 2 with Brutal Doom and the Doom Metal Soundtrack Vol. 4, you'll spend more time with that purchase than all the others combined.
Get rid of Strafe and DR3. I have not played either but heard they both suck. Strafe is a good concept with poor execution and like six months from now the games going to be $4 might as well wait.
I bought Deus Ex and modded it up to make it look pretty plus added sweet fx. It looks suprisingly good and is still one of the best games ever made. I have been really into modding and playing older games in my backlog lately. The work and dedication of modders never ceases to amaze me. In the past couple months I have been playing Arx Fatalis, Jedi knight, Jedi Academy, and Mafia. I bought this sale Deus Ex 1 and 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Cthulu Dark Corners of the Earth. Oh yeah I was also playing Max Payne 2 which has a bunch of really cool mods for it as well.

If you're a Humble Monthly subscriber, Dead Cells is $12.99 there.
I have like a dollar in cash back, too... I might have to do this, immediately after just saying in this thread that I wait for 50% off on most games.

So just Doom 2 and Ultimate Doom?
I've heard Strafe misses the mark as well. It's one of those games I want to try for myself, but you're right; it's probably best I skip it.

Can someone help me finding a game? It's a sort of 2D dead space with top-down camera

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
Yup.
You can use those mods on the other Doom games prior to Doom 3, so the Classics Complete bundle isn't a bad deal.
But I just tend to focus on Doom 1 & 2.

Yea, I have some games on SSD but most on HD as I have such a small SSD.
Yeah. Just click the "Choose location for install" drop-down box when installing a game.
They have been adamantly patching and fixing the game and doing significant changes to core gameplay since release fyi, seems to be better now. Don't expect an old-school shooter though.

how bad is Homefront? is worth $10?
Tizoc

My understanding is that it isn't bad so much 'run of the mill' shooter. If you're OK with shooters of the PS360 era you may enjoy it.

Thank you for this. I got the Doom collection and just got into zDoom so far. Most of my time playing Doom was passing a 3.5 inch floppy around my high school drafting class. So long ago.
Nah. The payment methods are charged as stated.
Are you thinking of Subterrain?

Or maybe Teleglitch?

I'd go with Sniper Elite 3, Blood, Dead Rising 3, Doom Collection (although I would choose the Quake collection). Action for hours.
If you mean the first Homefront: No, it isn't worth 10
If you mean the Homefront, that released last year or so: I don't know. Heard bad things about the game but I also heard that they have improved it (though that was mostly performance)

Should I buy King of Fighters XIV at $47.99 or hold out a bit longer? Think it will go for half that by the holiday sale?
I just bought Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear Revelator. Officially I'm "good" on new fighters. But...it's tempting to go for the trifecta?

I have all the Quakes except 3 and Team Arena. After playing Quake Heroes I've been itching for that classic Quake 3/Unreal Tournament style action. I figure Live is the way to go these days?
They're both amazing games, but I certainly wouldn't say that I've gotten a huge amount of time with either before moving on.
For reference, my Steam time with Downwell is at 16 hours, and OFDP is at 17. That said, both games are well worth purchasing, especially at the price that they're currently on sale for. Both games are a masterclass in "doing one thing, but doing it REALLY well"
Eh, it's certainly disappointing, but there are some good moments to be had. The wingsuit was the highlight for me. Flying that thing was just so damn satisfying, and even now I do ponder redownloading the game just to mess around with the wingsuit. The game also looks great, if your system can handle it.
Beyond that, it reminded me of JC2: Fun to mess around with in short bursts, but kind of flat after a while. The story missions are bland and unforgettable (I only remember the last boss fight, simply for how underwhelming it was), and there are a lot fewer locations in JC3 than there are in JC2. I don't know how the map sizes compare, either, but JC3 feels smaller, since you get the wingsuit about ten minutes into the game, and once you get good with that, you can cover a lot of ground really fast. That's not bad by itself, but I always prefer a game that makes you slog around more slowly for a bit, so you appreciate it more when you finally do get the ability to move faster.

Well just know that unlike Tekken and Guilty Gear, KOF14 is already pretty dead in terms of online population.

If you like KoF gameplay def. get it, lots of characters to dabble with and can be fun in offline versus.
Alt. grab KoF 13.
NP.
Be sure to enable Mouse Freelook in Options (might be in the Brutal Doom Options submenu). It completely changes the feel and flow of the game, much like Doom 2016 did itself.
Also, if you're new too DoomZ or any of the other Launcher programs, just do a Brutal Doom Instillation Guide search on YouTube and they'll have you up & running in 5 minutes.
Enjoy!

In what way?
It's fine. It's not improved enough over 2 (and in some ways less fun) to have warranted a full price purchase, but if you enjoyed JC2, it's basically more of that in a prettier wrapper. And the wingsuit is pretty fun.

Not that it matters too much, but is there a way to have Steam register playtime when using launchers? Same deal for System Shock 2.

I hope not. I can get it for 5.7 with the sale price and some Steam wallet funds from selling cards, so I had planned to buy it.

How is Mad Max? It's cheap.
Yes, I remember reading that there was a way to do this.
However, it's been a long time so I have no idea.
Try Google and see if anything comes up. I think it should be doable.

Well I was going to buy all the classic Tomb Raider games but I have them on my PS3 so I've trimmed down to:
Grim Fandango Remastered
Stardew Valley
Hollow Knight
Nothing else really takes my fancy.

Is Elite Dangerous worth it?
I'm kinda interested in trying this.
Is the base game enough or do I need extra stuff/DLC?
Also, is the game fully playable with an XB1 controller (comfy couch Big Picture ^_^)
