How good are the PC-ports of the Tales games? (excluding Symphonia)

Those are all amazing (except I skipped Zestiria and watched the anime instead). You've got lots of good times ahead.

 

[Vargavinter]

Looking to pick up a cheap pixel art game or two. Might go for Celeste.

Escape Goat 1 & 2. And Soulcaster 1 & 2. Two really really fun games and very cheap. They got great soundtracks too.

 

[Hydroxy]

Some good deals I came across

 

[GreatnessRD]

I bought that GTA definitive Edition. I'm about to return it because game will launch on my main monitor then automatically go to my secondary, 1080p monitor and won't revert back. Displays are extended and my 1440p monitor is set to main monitor. Rockstar got 24hrs to respond before I get my $30 UNITED MURICA DOLLARS BACK!

Gonna buy Soulcaster. Thank you

 

[simpatico]

Picked up Judgement and Lost Judgement. Got through the tutorial and logo screen of the first. Seems like it's gonna be an awesome duo.

I recommend Crosscode. It plays like a forgotten Sega Saturn action RPG. Great story and characters.

I have 766hours in this game. It's been around since 2011 and it's still supported with updates and there's one being worked on right now. It's a 2D Minecraft with progression structure and bosses.

Already have Terraria, but don't own Crosscode. Looking at the trailers it seems to be exactly the kinda game that I'm looking for. Definitely gonna grab that one. Thanks!

Those versions are trash and they stopped "fixing" it months ago, just get the refund.

 

[hlm666]

some of the things on my followed list that i'm working out what to get. Discounts arn't great so i'm not getting all just gotta work out what to get now, some others might find a gem in the list.

 

[Calverz]

All the stuff I picked up. Mostly older things that I've had sitting in my wishlist for a while. Not a great sale imo. But it is what it is, Steam Sales are a pale shadow of what they used to be, but it's still nice to be able to go back and maybe pick up some old things I may play eventually again one day.

I absolutely love shadows of the empire but the pc version aint great iirc. And there is little info, fixes out there.

Which of this indy games is the third person action game?

 

[jshackles]

Picked up Judgement and Lost Judgement. Got through the tutorial and logo screen of the first. Seems like it's gonna be an awesome duo.

I'm currently playing Judgment on the PS5, after playing through Like A Dragon earlier this year. I'm only about 10 hours in, but the game is indeed awesome. I already ordered the second as well.

This is in a Fanatical 3/$15 bundle at the moment, might be worth checking out there

Diamond Collection - Build your own Bundle (February 2025) | Fanatical

Could pick two more games and pay almost what the one game costs on Steam. Fallout 4, The Surge 2, and Dishonored 2 are the obvious standouts, but Road 96 and Soundfall are also both awesome indies.

your a fuckin legend, thanks for the heads up. I've got surge 2, dishonored 2 and f4 so im going with soundfall and vampyr.

Cheers.

I absolutely love the animated wallpaper they have at the landing page for this sale.

Is there a way to get a high quality version of this video so I can use it as a Wallpaper on my desktop?

Thats it. I'm done. DONE!.

*Cough*

Anyone played this? It looks right up my alley and it's Deck verified..

Sounds like a solar sized Xcom sort of thing

 

[graywolf323]

weird, the Forza bundle seems to be gone despite being featured on Microsoft's sale page

edit: nvm whatever the issue was seems to have been fixed

Thats what I thought. I might just bite the bullet.

Couple hours in now. It’s clear this is going to end up top 5 for my year. I can’t believe I waited til last year to try the Yakuza series. It’s really in my S Tier of gaming franchise. So much goodness.

The biggest problem with this game is it has a Virtua Fighter 5 arcade machine in it. The government doesn’t want you to know this, but Virtua Fighter is the best 3D fighting franchise. How am I suppose to get anything done when I can wreck people with Akira all day?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I'll ask again, is Gotham Knights worth playing at $18? MNy understanding is that the game now runs reasonable well. My 7800X3D and 4090 should be able to work wonders. I loved the Arkham games

Go for it? Pass?

It is not quite as good as Arkham Trilogy, but I enjoyed it well enough, playing exclusively as Batgirl. If you just want a new story in DC universe with Arkham-esque gameplay and nice graphics, Gotham Knights are fine. And yeah it is completely fixed, I played with all maxed incl. RT and it never dropped below 60.

 

[hollams]

Picked up CTRL ALT EGO and it's awesome not sure how I missed it when it came out in 2022.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Great game if you're into restaurants and jrpgs

It’s really good now and held up graphically like almost no others for the year it released

Edit- thought it was Arkham Knights..

I played it recently and enjoyed it. It can get a bit grindy though and at a certain point I just put on a podcast as the city itself is kind of dead but I do think it's better than what its reputation indicates.

 

[VN1X]

My final haul:

Saving the rest of my Steam credit for when Remnant 2 hits later this month (unless it's significantly cheaper over at gg.deals hehe).

 

[ChoosableOne]

--A brutal retro-shooter style medieval action game

--Diablo meets Vampire Survivors(you can toggle auto-aim, auto-fire etc)

--Second best game of the "Return Of The Obra Dinn genre" has a dlc and I bought it.

 

[EDMIX]

Already getting Dredge

Same. I heard a lot of great things.

Personally hoping for the FF games and Octopath Traveller 2 to be on sale

This.

Steam sales is always the best time to get Square's titles as they are stingy with those prices lol

I already have most of the games they put out on PC, but I never got FFXIII on PC and might actually give it a go. I haven't played FFXIII literally since its launch on PS3.

oh yea, forgot about Bravely Default II lol

Tile Cities is the only thing for me so far.

 

[Chukhopops]

Bought Triangle Strategy for the Deck and Gotham Knights for the computer, so far both are great.

Gotham Knights is ridiculously power hungry and unoptimized but it looks great as long as you have a decent PC.

 

[Korranator]

So....

Must play recommended games 50% off or better?

You have played a lot.

Agent A: A puzzle in disguise. A bit casual but I enjoyed it.

This was a good call. I did smash it in one sitting though it is a bit casual, but it's exactly the type of puzzle/lateral thinking games I love

Nice. My puzzle game pickups this sale are Linelight and Nauticrawl. Linelight is well-designed, and I'll see how Nauticrawl goes. I have a soft spot for underwater games.

For 18 euros, go for it, just know that the game gets better the more stuff you unlock.

Spent around $75 for all. Just filling up the backlog for the deck and all the final fantasy games I havent played lol. Any other recs? Probably gonna look for more newish games now as I'm getting a 4080 soon...

 

[jshackles]

My pickups so far

My dude, you have like 1,000 hours of gameplay among these.

Any other recs?

If you like long expansive JRPGs (seems like you do!) check out the Legend of Heroes series. Start here:

Also, a very non-traditional JRPG but thought I'd mention it since you had Sleeping Dogs on your list as well:

 

[T-Cake]

Like a Dragon is similar to Sleeping Dogs? I might have to check it out if that's the case. Sleeping Dogs being better than GTA in my book.

 

[legacy24]

not really, like a dragon is turn based combat I think you may enjoy the brawler Yakuza games more

I just got into final fantasy because of XVI so I want to explore the series more. The tales games were a bit cheap and I liked Symphonia and Berseria so I said fk it haha.

Yakuza LAD is a great shoutout, been meaning to try that. Gonna check out legend of heroes altho I think I got a lot of JRPG on my hands now lol

Sorry, just meant that seeing both Final Fantasy and Sleeping Dogs on his list made me immediately think he'd enjoy Like a Dragon, since it's a turn based JRPG with a similar setting / similar characters.

Is there a way to get a high quality version of this video so I can use it as a Wallpaper on my desktop?

Might have to splice it together yourself but behold, the assets!

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Haven't played FF14 in a couple years and never on pc so at half off it feels like a good time to jump back in.

 

[Midn1ght]

Current Haul:

Tale of Vesperia is cheaper on GMG (-83%) and the Oddworld Oddbox is super cheap on Fanatical (-88%).
Might grab a few more and The Outer World on Humble before the end.

Excited to finally play Stray!

 

[Wunray]

I bought guardins of the galaxy and wow, why wasn't there more praise for this game? It's the best mordern marvel game released to date. I recommend if you have 3 days to set aside to play this it's worth it.

Agreed - the game is pretty fantastic as long as you can get over the "not quite MCU" version of the characters. Great soundtrack, fun gameplay - just a really great game that was dragged through the mud because everyone thought it was a followup to that terribad Avengers game.

Nice! I got the oddbox but strangers wrath isn't working for me in the deck, sadly. Not accepting any of my input. I'm going to try it on pc sometime soon

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Tempted to get GTAV. It controls so badly on console for me personally so would like to check it out on PC. Could do without spending the money though to be fair!
