I essentially do solo but a lot of builds need specific items so I buy them. Selling stuff is a hastle only because who knows wtf anything is worth. I am excited for 3.0 though.
Yeah I play the game in windowed fullscreen and have poe.trade always up in a chrome tab. It's pretty quick to just alt-tab over and do a quick price check.

So these are all the deals that are gonna be offered, right? There's not gonna be more stuff added before it ends?
Correct.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
Never played a Total War game, but Warhammer intrigues me.

Worth a look as a longtime C&C/Warcraft/Starcraft campaign fan?
 
Guess I'll go with the first Banner Saga. I like tactical games, but most are too complex for me. This one looks manageable and... well, I love snowy settings.

Any suggestions of 2D games with lots of snow? My notebook can't handle 3D games very well.

Got me the Fallout Classic pack. It wasn't the first time it was $5 and it won't be the last, but by golly, now was the time to say "sure".

For you.

That's the case for 99.99999% of the stuff, yeah. Do mind that it's still possible for publishers to have unofficial "dailies", where they put something that isn't on sale at all right now, with a discount that only lasts a day or two. Ubisoft has pulled that in the last couple of sales with a bunch of games. Seem they are steering clear from that this sale though. I don't remember what other publishers did it. It's a small possibility, at least. Keep an eye on anything high profile that isn't discounted at all.

Don't really have any suggestions on the 2D snow front, but if you like relatively simple tactics games, Massive Chalice and Rebuild 3 are pretty good.
 
First purchases of the sale:

Never played The Witcher or any open world game except for Zelda BOTW. 34 bucks CAD seemed like a decent price for the main game + both expansions, looking forward to diving into it at some point.

My wishlist is down to 14 games! Will probably pick up just 2 or 3 more things once I sell off some cards :^)

telltale's walking dead new frontier 50% off
yay or nay? I've played S1, S2 but heard S3 being the worst out of them.

Huge fan of the series and still think that season 1 is best game that Telltale has ever done. I prefer season 3 over 2, more interesting set of characters for me. If you can get over the fact that you don't play as Clementine. I also liked how you play some parts from the MC:s past. It was good in showing the family dynamic of the characters and gives you some sense of history for the new cast.

Just bought 3 games so far.


Sonic Lost World
The Walking Dead Season 2
Prince of Persia Warrior Within



Comcast sent me a email saying they upped my internet speed from 25 mbps to 55 mbps.


Dat speed difference ;O


Tested out Sonic Lost World, glorious 60 fps on my 7 year old rig.



Tempted to get Dragonball Xenoverse but I'm worried that Ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 will get delisted and feel like I should get that :/
 
Dunno what to get. Maybe Stellaris but I refunded it once before :/

Thought about Superhot but I don't have VR let alone the motion controls. Think I might leave empty handed for once
 
How is Dishonored 2 puttering along lately? Would my 3570k/GTX 1060 be good enough for 1080p/30fps?
There's a free demo out now on the store page of a good starting chunk of the game and the save will work with the full game if you end up buying it, so no better way than to try it out for real.

Superhot and Superhot VR are two completely different games. There's no VR or motion controls at all for the original.

SUPERHOT and SUPERHOT VR are 2 different games. M&K or controller are fine with the former one.

The OP was edited. But why those anime images? Was that a meme I'm missing?

its JoJo. Tizoc likes JoJo. Stop overthinking it, not everything is a meme.

Well, JoJo IS a meme, but not in this case lol.

Picked up the expansions for Cities: Skylines so far. I bought PUBG as well, even though it's not on sale. My friends kept bugging me to get it, was hoping it'd go on sale, but alas.

Not sure if/what else I will get.
 
Bought Valdis Story for 4 trudeau bucks, pleasantly surprised by it so far. The controls are a bit awkward but it's otherwise a very fun and solid metroidvania. I bought it because of the sweet 2D artstyle which reminds me of MapleStory lol

I didn't play it, but isn't I Am Setsuna basically in the snowy climate?

Oh, you're right, I forgot about Setsuna! It's too expensive for me right now, but I'll wishlist it and wait for a better deal. Thanks!

Don't really have any suggestions on the 2D snow front, but if you like relatively simple tactics games, Massive Chalice and Rebuild 3 are pretty good.

Hmmm, Massive Chalice looks right up my alley, and it's really cheap! I'll get it, thanks!

Since the first Dark Souls is unbelievably not on sale, should my first entry be the second one or would it be money better spent on the third?
