Grim Dawn is one of them
I would highly recommend Dead Cells. Fun & challenging game. There are some areas you going to absolutely hate. There's still not enough content because its in early access. So you can beat it in few hours and then play it again when they release more content or just wait until full release.

Bayonetta if you never played it
I was ready to buy 7 games when I looked at my Library and had an epiphany. My backlog is absolutely huge, last sale I bought games like Dark Souls III, Metal Gear Solid V and Batman Arkham Knight and still haven't touched them, I still haven't touched most of their predecessors. I could easily go 2 years without buying anything new. So I think I'm skipping this sale.....
Dishonored 2 though.... it's reached the price I said I would buy it... and I just finished Dishonored's DLC...... lol

This steam sale blows....
But it's because I miss the OLD steam sales....where I built most of my library....on deals for games that were like 70-90% off...
However...I was still able to find stuff that I want "around" the price range I wanted them.
just sitting in my cart.....still on the fence with a few games....Like Metal gear....being that I have it on PS4...but this includes all DLC and I'll be able to use mods...
man....decisions decisions...
I was hoping PUBG would be like 25% off. I'm still going to hold out on that.
wow. is that the current state of steam sale? Those prices are terrible. :/
Would you recommend Prey over NieR? I feel like right now I could only choose one since they're both around the same price, and also higher than the other stuff I'm interested in.
Already bought these! <3 But I've got like 2k hours in D3, so not sure how much Grim Dawn I can handle.
Played it when it came out on console. Bought it on Steam when it was released but haven't played it on PC yet though. It's not really a priority.

I agree on all of the above. Dead Cells is really supperb game and you get a sense of progress cause even if you have three minutes, you can still gather cells which are used to update weaspons, items and such!
Highly recommended. I haven't finished Rogue Legacy and am trying to as it is hard AF!
Dead Cells is serious chillout game for me as of now.
Same with Risk of Rain someone was asking about.
ed: also I will prolly not spend a cent. sales went to shit.

Nier has a neat combat system, I hadn't played Prey but heard lots of good praise for it.
I'd say you'd get your money's worth with either game so it comes down to whether you prefer a 3D Action game or not.
Think my final list is going to be:
Resident Evil 7
Little Nightmares
Cosmic Star Heroine
The Sexy Brutale
I'm trying to keep my played-to-purchased ratio positive this year so this should keep that manageable while allowing me to keep up with 2017 releases. Hopefully Rime will be on sale in the fall.

Damn, I knew it was going F2P, but didn't know about the DLC. I'll check out gamestop, but it's good that I can just save up the currency. Or is it prohibitively expensive in terms of in-game currency? I only wanted I think like 3 characters out of that expansion.

Buy TOXIKK.
It's glorious until you play Shadow Warrior and realize it's a festering putrid turd of a game.This glorious moment when I pay Shadow of Mordor and Shadow Warrior purely through previously sold CS:GO boxes. Love it.

Any decent arcade racers? I'm missing that genre so much. I'll probably only grab DOOM for 15 dollars for now.
Yup, I agree. I remember when you could just buy tons of great AAA games for about 50 bucks or less. There were tons of awesome deals. Nowadays there are quite some few sales where even the PSN store has better prices.
I heard tons of good stuff from a lot of people regarding SW1. The second game, on the other hand, is pretty crappy from what I've heard and seen.

Get Momodora without a second thought. Game rocks.

Not sure I'm going to buy anything.
Dishonored 2's performance still bothers me. Nier Automata's price isn't low enough for me. I'm interested in Hollow Knight and Owl Boy, but I'd rather have both on Switch.
I'll probably cave and get Dishonored 2.
I think my disappointment is mostly because I already have a fuckload of games.

The first game is one of the worst games I have ever played, bar none. I hope you enjoy it, but it's ridiculous how much straight garbage game design is included in that game.
2 actually looks alright. It's not like randomized levels could be worse than the level design of the first.

The only things I was thinking of buying this sale were by Paradox. This sucks.

The Witness is more expensive than The Witness + Braid. Just saying.

The majority of those games are literally months old, it's difficult to conflate the argument with what's actually in the cart.

most of whats in my cart aren't to bad, all things considered. I think the weakest sale in that cart is the MGSV collection one.....Should be at LEAST 50% off.
walking dead and gaurdians game aren't super old, so I get the pricing on those.
Bayonetta could be better, but I "get" it. Same with Strafe.
my issue is with the discounts on stuff like Fallout 4, GTA V, and WItcher 3. LIke jesus....they should be like 5-10 bucks each.

Help me out, Gaf, I'm weak and can't decide.
Nier Automata
or
Rise of the Tomb Raider + Resident Evil 7
In my region, Nier Automata is slightly more expensive than Rise + RE 7. I liked the Tomb Raider (2013) and enjoyed Tomb Raider Underworld, Legend, and Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light. I also played and enjoyed RE 1-6 and RE 7 demo, though I still can't make up my mind about the demo. It's okay and I sure would like to know what the full game has in store for me, but it's not exactly mindblowing.
Nier Automata, however, got me hooked up from the very first trailer and the soundtrack, good lord, the soundtrack nails it. The opera boss theme is playing in my mind still. And I adored Bayonetta, so that's that.
What's your take on this dilemma of mine, Gaf?

I don't really have alot of issues with what's in my cart. Which is why they are in my Cart. I kinda "get" why they are priced the way they are (whether how long they have been out or if they are from a small developer...etc). Only one I think that could be really improved is the MGS one....that should be less.
my issue is with games like witcher 3, gta v, fallout 4, etc. Games that should be much less.

Yes, VPN works from my experience. I am not in my country right now, but my billing address is still the same so i used vpn to unlock the games few times.

Such as? You're gonna have to mention such titles because you're likely talking about that one time you got like 5-6 AAA games that went on sale a year or two after release, for 75-90%.

Will wait until our lord and savior JaseC drops wisdom on us. Thanks for the giveaway though.
Pick it up if you've loved RollCage back in the day.
Updates are coming in really often game if fun as fuck and multiplayer is in.
Can't recommend it enough.

Those are semi-recent AAA titles that are worth at LEAST $30 and they are still selling like hotcakes. Why would publishers decrease their value? Its stuff like like CODs that are 10-15 years old that are funny.

none of those games are semi recent.2 years old is semi recent? are you kidding me? and back in the day, those games would be discounted more. gta V is still half off on a steam sale when you could have gotton gta v for much cheaper on console at some point. same with fallout 4 and witcher 3.
all of those you could have found for cheaper on console at some point....while steam sales dont drop as low. It's ironic how you can buy games on console for cheaper than on PC this generation.
