Bought PUBG, gonna try it. If it is trash, refund. If it is good, refund and buy from GMG.

Meh. Bastion is a good game while Transistor is brilliant. There are so many ways to tackle combat as you get better and overall theme is great. The answer is really get both but if you only must get one, get Transistor.
Aww, Factorio isn't in the sale.
Never will be according to the dev

Yeah, I've been postponing getting Transistor for a while now, I think it's time. Looks great visually and I hear nothing but praise from the music and combat.
How long would a regular run take? (Not 100% completion but also not just rushing through the main stuff)

Grim Dawn on the other hand is pretty awesome. It's very creative, has a great story and plethora of class options/customizations.
Edit: Overall the sale has been kind of meh. I am thinking about picking up mainly some cheaper games from my list and DLCs for games I own like Age of Wonders 3 Expansion, Endless Legend Expansion and Gal Civ 3 DLC pack.
My planned haul which I need to trim down:
- Turing Test (great puzzler)
- StarCrawlers (great, great scifi dungeon crawler)
- Fall of the Dungeon Guardians (good dungeon crawler)
- Trillion (meh, but what the heck)
- VA-11 HALL-A (bartending cyberpunk, how could you not for $10)
- Hyper Light Drifter
- Thea The Awakening (pretty great card based RPG)
- Eador Imperium
- GalCiv 3 DLCs (expansion finally made the game interesting)
- Age of Wonder 3 Expansion
- Endless Legend Expansion
I was also looking at Tyranny, but it's major expansion pack is coming in the Fall, so might as well wait for that.
guess it will sit on my wishlist forever then.
Was looking at the sales earlier and saw that Age of Decadence was $8 which is really tempting but I know my laptop won't be able to run it since it's ostensibly a Chromebook. I don't know if anyone's paid attention to AoD price during past sales but is this the cheapest it's been? It's only $8, I can afford to buy it and just wait until I eventually buy a desktop but I can also just wait and not spend $8 right now.
Hollow Knight is also super tempting at that price considering it was already tempting at $15.
Also why isn't Undertale on sale, come on.

Otherwise, a lot of these sales are very appealing to me, I wish I had a desktop

Link up with a gaffer from the discord and run some duos. Don't just play 1s and refund it.

I gave up on Bastion after a few hours as I just wasn't really enjoying it. Transistor on the other hand, I consider to be an absolute masterpiece, I couldn't put it down. I ended up playing through it twice.
Played Deus Ex Mankind Divided a little bit. Cinematic looked pretty disappointing. Adams face is all fucked up and graphically doesn't look that great either to me. He sometimes randomly starts moving in one direction and i got stuck in the elevator. Stopped there, will check out more later.
DS2 cinematic on the other hand was fucking amazing D:
Time to check out other games.

Okay GAF, I have $20.38 in my Steam wallet. I was originally going to buy the Dark Souls 3 Season Pass, but it looks like it's not going on sale. Rocket League + Ys Oath is currently the pick I'm going with, but perhaps I could be swayed by some good arguments for the other games on my wishlist...

Dead Cells is exactly the sort of game I've been needing lately. Loving it so far.
I also picked up Hollow Knight and excited to try that out. I'm a little worried about playing the two in tandem though, since they seem pretty similar.

There was a thread about games you wished you liked more and Transistor is at the top of my list. I was completely heartbroken that I do not care for Transistor whatsoever. The thing that bugs me is that I can't identify exactly why. But the fact is that I can't make it more than an hour into that game and turn it off.
DC version is still plagued with bugs that they won't ever fix.
ok filled my cart with games, will probably spend a nice amount of time thinking about which ones to get
my budget isn't super huge so probably not gonna go past $30~
kind of interesting in god eater cos it kind of sounds like dragon's dogma, so that's probably a lock
then i might do bayonetta i think, i kind of wanted to play bayonetta a lot when it rereleased but then i lost a bit of interest, so idk
hollow knight looks really cool but it also sounds really long which is not something i'm super looking forward to
idk idk
no PS4 D: Maybe i should get one soon. I'd love to play Nioh, Bloodborne, Rush 2 and also Crash Bandicoot is coming out soon.

From all of these I only played Doom. But I totally LOVED it... definitely among my favorite games this gen and one of the best SP shooters since a long time. The game also runs like magic!
HOWEVER, CD Keys has it for 12,79 if you don't mind. And it has been this price for quite a while now.

Both Rocket League and Divinity:OS are all-time great games. Can't go wrong with either.

Rocket league is fantastic as this is my current MP go to game on Xbox One & PC. But I do recommend getting a controller to play it. Lots of unlocks to customize your car too. But see if the GOTY edition is on sale before buying the standard edition.
EDIT: GOTY edition is 17.99 CAD.

The thing to note about God Eater Rage Burst that a lot of people miss is that you actually get two games when you buy it so there's that too
At least I didn't know that when I looked at like the first twelve times*

There's nothing wrong with that pick (or any other pick tbh). Just go with what you feel in your heart.
Paradox did it with the whole catalogue i think. And it depends where you live. Some places it didn't go up at all. Paradox (Not Obsidian) said it was to bring it in line with increased purchasing power but earlier today walked it back completely. It's a dumb situation but it'll be back to normal after the sale and depending where you live may not have changed at all.

I got:
This is the Police
Beat Cop
What Remains of Edith Finch
TIS-100
Rusty Lake Hotel and Rusty Lake: Roots
Batman Arkham Origins Season Pass
All for just under like $45. Pretty happy! Most of my wishlist was on sale but not deep enough for me to buy more than I did.

Absolutely loved Grim Dawn for the 20 or so hours I put into it (edit: 60 hrs, just looked. Wow). Once it came to an end, I didn't feel too compelled to run through again on a higher difficulty though. That's my only complaint. But for the buy-in price right now for a new player, def worth the cost.

I got a friend irl who decided to try it too.

That's some next level strategy. If you can, try PUBG with friends more fun in the beginning.

The only thing I wanted from this sale was the Doom DLC so I could get the remaining achievements (I know... ) but since that's not on sale, I think I want another MP game to add to the rotation. Currently playing CSGO, Dota 2 and PUBG. Rocket League off and on. TF2 once in a blue moon. Any suggestions?

Hmm, interesting that Enhanced Steam seemed to miss that.
DOOM intrigues me because I haven't played a FPS like it before (arena shooters I think they're called?). Which is also a risk, because there's a chance I could totally hate it.
Oof, Rocket League is one of those games where having a controller is better? That... might knock it lower on my wishlist. Though I played Dark Souls 3 with M+K and loved it, even though everyone recommends playing those games with a controller. How bad are Rocket League's M+K controls?

How do I fix this. It's driving me nuts...
Yeah, its pissing me off too lol
yeah i was thinking about that
idk if that's a positive tho
unless they like completely sweep me away i don't really want to have to like play 2 similar games lol
sounds like they made some dumb choices and took some flak
hopefully folks will be pleased with those fixes
