Wow, I actually had to play one of my games to get a set of stickers. That was a strange new experience.

 

[Funyarinpa]

The DS3 season pass is not discounted at all, right?

Can anyone recommend platformers on Steam?

By far my favourite genre, and I want to make sure I haven't missed anything.

Electronic Super Joy.

I avoid early access games so I'd go with Hollow Knight.

But then youre missing out on Player unknown! (yeah its got some issues)

Thanks for the inputs everyone. im still pretty torn on them, but hollow knight issssss finished....

 

[big fake]

Good choices. I'll vouch for New Vegas, Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, Wolfenstein and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Just make sure to actually play them.

I've already played Psychonauts, but it was on the terrible PSN PS2 emulation. So the experience wasn't great, still managed to enjoy it a lot though.

Wolfenstein I'm starting tonight so looking forward to that. Deus Ex soon after along with New Vegas in a month or so.

Rest of the list is something I'll play eventually , I hope!

This is my problem.

I own and have played all of these.

(Highly highly recommend people pick up LOVE - underrated platformer with a unique mechanic and singular sense of atmosphere.)

I guess not - disappointed me as well!

Tembo the Badass Elephant?

...

Completed that too.

 

[ADS]

Picked up a lot of games but have only played Hollow Knight and Alwa's Awakening.

Alwa's Awakening is ... okay, but not great. It's a mix between Battle Kid and Simon's Quest, but it seems to take the less fun aspects of both.

Hollow Knight though, you guys weren't kidding, this game is SO GOOD. The controls are so tight, the atmosphere is amazing, it's just all around incredible, and I'm only an hour or so in. I discounted it at first based on screen shots but it's soooo good in motion.

On top of the ones already mentioned

Everyday Genius: Square Logic

Quell, on the easy side.
SpaceChem, on the harder side.

How is Arkham Knight running now a days? Worth the 7.99?

Depends on your RAM and graphics card. With 8GB of RAM and a 960ti I suffered not a problem at all when I played through it a year ago.

As long as it does run on your system, I think it's a very good game with only your tolerance for driving a Bat-Tank so very often being a potential hindrance.

 

[gabbo]

Wow, I actually had to play one of my games to get a set of stickers. That was a strange new experience.

It certainly hearkens back to the old days of Steam sales. I had find something easy to play - thankfully Mountain is that game

 

[7roject28]

Hmmm the achievement sticker didn't work. I played a game and got two achievements but it never said I got the stickers.

I've seen people with beefy rigs say they don't encounter any stuttering of framerate problems.

If you want more Batman, it's the most Batman game out there.

Never heard of Fenix Rage though, so ta for that.

Also thinking of picking up Mighty Switch Force and Ms Splosion Man.

Sell me on RimWorld. Un-sell me on RimWorld.

As someone that loves Dwarf Fortress for all of the narrative possibilities, but hates it for it's obtuse and busted UI (as soon as I have to boot up Dwarf Therapist my mind turns off and the game has now become a chore), what are the pros and cons of RimWorld?

What does it excel at in comparison to DF? Where does it come up short in comparison to DF?

The Ninja Storm games are serviceable. The last one (4) supports 60fps; the others are capped to 30.

Arkham Knight runs well nowadays, but I suppose it will depend on your hardware. Perfectly fine on my 970 (for 1080/60). With that setup of yours you'll be good, most likely!

I've never played DF, or any of these kind of games actually, but I understood the UI pretty much right away so I feel like it's probably good.

Other than that the one thing I've been told is that RimWorld is more personal than DF. You have fewer people and they all have a quirk or two so I've heard that people develope much stronger feelings towards their dudes than in DF.

PS4.

Nier PC is a poor port with no patches to fix it's major issues. It runs perfect on the PS4 too.

Should have a look at Bundlestars for that copy of Arkham. It's a fiver for the game and another five for the season pass. You can get an additional 5% off with the coupon listed on their site. Don't get the (more expensive) bundle; it's a trap! AFAIK the season pass should contain all DLC.

If a game is going to be on sale for the duration it is currently on sale. No dailies or flash - been dead a while.

You also clearly didnt pay attention to the op either which answers your question

 

[autoduelist]

My head is melting. I've gone through my 200 item wishlist, a lot of this thread, and the hidden gem thread [adding to my wishlist].

I then added everything to cart I 'really' wanted that was on a solid sale.

I ended up with 27 games for $118 and change in my cart.

My budget is $20.

I've got potential trash games for $0.50 that I've wanted to try for ages [ie, a mixed review gladiator school type game] through known gems that I'm sure I'd love that are 7.50. I don't know whether I should go for quantity of 'wants' or just grab a couple 'really wants'.

I don't even know how to proceed. My brain is on lockdown.

 

[Jive Turkey]

As usual, it's not all games but most. And no, there are no more daily/flash deals.

Fall and Winter Sales will be here before you know it. Consider time spend on playing those games and how long until you're "ready" for those other ones. Usually I feel 3-5 games will last me until the next sale, unless a daily or weekly pops up in between.

I already bought it. Already got sold on it with the YouTube videos out there and hearing some of the stories. It's an interesting tale on emergent stories where every play through really does have meaning.

 

[Sarcasm]

We got a summer card trading thread?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Guess I'm skipping Hollow Knight on Steam. This is too irresistible to not get on the Switch as that seems to be the perfect place to play it.

Dead Cells it is then!

 

[dot]

lmao

what game is that review from?

 

[CHC]

How is House of the Dying Sun? Worth 10 bucks or should I hold off? I'm not lacking for other games to play.

I'm wondering if the game is as simple as it appears in terms of mission structure, or whether it has interesting variety.

(this is a copy of my post from the gems thread, I put it there by mistake but I'll leave it in both threads)

 

[TsuXna]

lmao

Watch Dogs.

 

[Megasoum]

So I just started playing Pillars of Eternity...

This is my first CRPG... I'm stil really early (I just got to the first village and talked to everybody)...

Somehow I am now tempted to buy the season pass and buy Tyranny lol... Dammit Steam Sales...why are you doing this to me? This is such a dumb idea...

 

[CHC]

I don't even know how to proceed. My brain is on lockdown.

Go for what you really want, even if you only wind up with one or two games. Otherwise you'll just drift from OK game to OK game thinking about how you should have gotten the game you actually felt like playing. Always the right course of action.
