It's like one of the best Tales of games ever (it's my 2nd favorite). Not that it's a hard thing to achieve though, considering the franchise's overall quality. Still, I highly recommend it if you're into JRPG and its usual tropes. At least the combat is good.

hm i think i'm just gonna buy kathy

feels like berseria is the one to buy if i want to take a peek into that series

Well, I just picked up DH2 to wash the bad taste of Mankind Divided out of my mouth so...

Lovely.

i've heard ppl have good experiences with it

my computer is not that new but it runs doom and nier automata super well so i don't think it's justified that dishonored 2 is absolute garbage

just try it for a bit and refund it if it runs like shit

 

[Megasoum]

Wait... I just noticed I have Subnautica on my account.... I have absolutely zero idea when or how I got it haha... I know I never bought it, that's for sure....

 

[kurahador]

Oh my god this Three Twenty One has so many updates --- it got updated 4 times already in the last 6 hours. What the fuck.

 

[Wag]

I can't speak for 4k but the character models and backgrounds looked very dated and blown up on the ipad version, so I could imagine it looked even moreso on 4k.

Definitely a modest remaster rather than a remake.

I don't expect much from Baldur's Gate graphics-wise, but as long as it looks right in 4k 16:9 that's all that really matters. I'll buy it anyways. If I can't get it working I'll just get a refund.

 

[Rhaknar]

How are the R6 Vegas games on PC?

those games did not age well unfortunately, I played them recently (last year or something?), I remember loving them on the 360.

Not so much this time around

Gives a couple lists of games sorted by ranking, taking how many reviews in the past year into account. I found some cool stuff through here, and Wuppo is adorable.

$30 Humble Freedom Bundle most likely

Ah yeah probably

 

[Ascheroth]

whut.

Is this a 'why is this so cheap?' whut or a 'why are saying this is child-friendly?' whut

Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

hm i think i'm just gonna buy kathy

feels like berseria is the one to buy if i want to take a peek into that series

fwiw I tried playing Symphonia earlier this year and I couldn't really get into it after coming from Zestiria (which is a troubled game in many areas, except the combat).
Imo Symphonia combat is in this weird middle ground of feeling really dated while not feeling dated enough that it comes around to have this certain old-game combat charm, if that makes sense
I can's speak of the story, as I wasn't really far, but the beginning didn't grab me.

I haven't played Berseria yet, but it seems to be one of the better ones.

 

[Stumpokapow]

steam won't let me buy because i've made too many purchases lately

i made one purchase 24 hours ago ($20) and one purchase 2 weeks ago ($50) wow

 

[rfield84]

That's cool, the cartoony style was the only thing from Torchlight that I didn't love.

Getting a post-apocalyptic Dark Tower vibe from the screenshots of Grim Dawn which I dig.

Sold! Thanks.

Enjoy! Just got it myself yesterday, an I'm absolutely loving it so far!

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

Ah yeah probably

Definitely play it, too! It's one of my favorite games of the year. And somewhat terrifying, too. One of the scariest games I've ever played hah

 

[super-famicom]

If you have not purchased Dead Cells yet and love rogue-lites, BUY DEAD CELLS NOW!

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm really grateful.

 

[zdenko1]

Posted this few pages earlier and I'm still looking for more before sale ends. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm looking for multiplayer or cooperative strategy, tycoon, management, simulation (think Rimworld) games. I already have Factorio, Age of Empires 2 HD, Age of Mythology, Tropico 5, Stronghold HD and Crusader HD and probably few others that I can't remember right now.

I peeked at Offworld Trading Company as idea of business RTS sounds interesting to me but I'm not sure about 2 things:

• Reviews are only mostly positive
• Do I need that Jupiter DLC? Is it like with Civ games that you actually need DLCs to flesh out game mechanics?

 

[zkylon]

yeah bayonetta definitely is less awesome than i remembered

i mean, when it's on it's on, the combat is really satisfying and it's hilarious and super fun to watch, but it feels like everything except that is pretty rough, like the qte's that kill you in one hit, or every fight starting with an enemy attack that's timed way too tight for me to get, or how everything looks gold so it's actually really hard to tell what's happening on screen (i actually remembered this part but i attributed a lot of it to bad fps) or some times witch time just doesn't go off even if there's like the sound effect and slowdown and all the feedback that you got the dodge right? and i kind of hate that you unlock that panther form and it makes mashing r2 to dodge way harder lol, idk if that was the intent but i feel like i'm hitting like 1/3rd of the witch times i did before (which i keep calling bullet witch lol)

also it might be that i haven't played one of those in a long while but it feels like i'm getting my fingers tired of all the mashing, just mashing for torture attacks and climaxes and idk combos and shit. it's a mashy game in a good way but my fingers don't like it. kinda reminds me of dragon's dogma hehe

for all those reasons the game is just kinda tiring to play and i can't do more than a few levels at a time without feeling like i need a break

it kinda makes me wish i could get my hands on bayo 2, i bet a lot of these things would be fixed in a sequel, cos it just feels like bayo 1 in some way feels kind of a result of the time it released, just the brownyness and the bad qte and bad gimmicks, feels like shit from an age long past

Should I grab Metal Gear Rising for $7.49? Never played it.

Also considering Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, as I haven't played those tiher, but I probably won't find the time to.

Rising is fantastic, and quite short to run through too, if you're pressed for time.

Here's a thought. Its always only 50% off and it pisses me off.

 

[robotrock]

Just bought Hollow Knight and Dead Cells despite really wanting to wait for Switch versions on those. The Humble Monthly discount was too good.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Well, fuck.

Was gonna do a Costume Quest super giveaway, but I remembered Steam no longer does that.

I liked it, very much so. It's calssic yet a bit non-classic RE.

How are the R6 Vegas games on PC?

Can't speak of now, but back then they were great games. I played the hell out of terrorist hunt in coop.

One of the best action games in existence.Finished it like 6 or 8 times.

Hmm...have $20 on my steam account but nothing is really catching my eye this sale. Except for stuff that is nearly full price like Nier, and I wouldn't play it for a while anyway so it doesn't feel like buying it would be a great idea.

...Weird feeling. Probably the first sale I'm going to completely sit out on. Like, this is a good thing, but MAN IT FEELS WEIRD.

Started Dead Space again last night (originally played at launch on 360) and I'm enjoying it. Textures and geometry are obviously both showing their age but the sound design and atmosphere still hold their own. DS4 Windows seems to do a decent job with pad controls too, as it appears only KBM was originally used.

For £2.50 (the same price as the sequel) this is a no-brainer for anyone new to the franchise, and worth a good look if you've previously enjoyed it on consoles. 4k/60 at max settings is obviously effortless on a 980ti.

thoughts on Resident Evil Revelations 2?

Its very good but if you are playing as the secondary character it can be a bit unfufilling as you are more a hidden item/puzzle donkey than anything compared to the first character who is more combat oriented.

Once again, very good though I felt like the gunplay was a bit too... loose, would have liked it to be more impactful or hard hitting. One of the better recent RE titles though for sure. Fully recommend it.

It was once hinted at that the game would be released in June.

Caved and bought Clannad and Deus Ex HR DC. Debated them too long, I had one steam wallet card which covered Clannad so I'm good.

Bought CRYPTARK on a whim after watching Giantbombs quicklook. Played for a bit over an hour and had a blast!

Transistor

I want to get Hollow Knight, GTA V, and PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS but I can only pick one. Which one should I get?

There's much more I wanna get but my wallet can't at the moment :/
This is my first steam summer sale...

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Is this a 'why is this so cheap?' whut or a 'why are saying this is child-friendly?' whut

Anyone who enjoys video gams needs to get that bundle at that price. That is fucking highway robbery.

Speaking of, anyone want to help me make it so I can do the giveaway?

 

[rainking187]

Is the time remaining on the sale accurate? It seems to be counting down to around 10:05 AM PST. I thought sales generally ended at 10 AM PST exactly.

a lot of your issues just stem from campaign mode being campaign mode and kamiya doing shit like hiding the best boss fight in the game behind 15 minutes of space harrier. pc introduces some timing issues (i think the framerate causes havoc with mash events) but also you shouldn't be mashing dodge, that shit is for timing

bayo still my goat

 

[kionedrik]

But will it be in a bundle?

IIrc, it was in the freedom bundle a couple months ago.

 

[Wok]

But will it be in a bundle?

This is the question. The price is valid for 6 days, so it is doubtful it is bundled in the meantime. It was recently bundled, but as BTA in a Humble Mobile Bundle.

Yeah, it was in the Freedom Bundle.

 

[Soodanim]

In fact, I think a lot of my PC gaming (I'm new to this) will be revisiting old favourites, but with better performance.

I said that, and I even bought a lot of my old games to replay in upgraded forms, but you also find yourself buying new games and so you end up with a growing library and half of them you don't get round to. Or maybe you will!
