[Needlecrash]

Got some stuff I wanted to try, some double-dips and couldn’t wait any longer to play Devil Blade.

Devil Blade is really good for sure. Love it.

 

[Jesb]

These steam sales are so boring without daily deals. All the sales are the same everyday. Nothing new gets added.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Played Disco Elysium on PS+ but might pick it up on PC for $4, that's a great deal. Holding off on BG3 because my backlog, by the time I'm actually ready to play it will be $20 or under. I still haven't played The Witcher 3...

 

[BennyBlanco]

this game is amazing. read the steam reviews.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Ugh, I really wish I could find a good JRPG to get on sale, but I have no idea what to get. I feel like I've play most of the really good ones already, so even when I look up lists of "best jrpgs on steam", it always gives me a list of things I've already finished. The only exception is maybe the Trails series, which is just...a huge commitment that I'm not sure I'm ready for.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Gosh darn it, I bought Persona 5 Royal off a key site for $40 two days before the summer sale started. Now it's $30. Amazing game, btw:

Some others i want to play at some point that seem well liked:

 

[Quasicat]

I don't have much / any EA stuff on PC. I know other launchers are dumb and annoying but what's actually wrong with it?

On steam deck, you have to go through a few steps in order to get it to load properly in game mode. It never seems to remember my password, and since I use two factor authentication, I have to login every time I want to play Mass Effect trilogy. I would imagine there’s an easier way to do it, and it probably wouldn’t affect you all that much if you’re using windows over SteamOS.

Do it. You know you want to.

Thank you! Definitely some things I've never heard of before.

 

[Stratostar]

Grabbing these. Stoked to play SOMA and Prey, heard good things. Own Alien on PS4 but I'm excited to try out some mods for the Xenomorph AI.

Thanks yeah that definitely seems annoying but maybe I'll be ok since I'm just using a PC.

 

[Heisenberg007]

I want to buy an old-school-Atari-type arcade space shooter game.

Something like the following picture, but obviously more with modern-day visuals, skills, progression, etc.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

 

[R6Rider]

You guys have time for this many games? Or are those just directly going into your backlog to never see the light of day again?

Yes

 

[GymWolf]

I haven't bought shit yet, kinda interested in prototype 2 that i never played but i heard it's stupidly easy and they removed abilities from the first one? Is it true?

That's simultaneously a incredibly detailed & vague criteria. What even is an "old-school-atari-type" game? A single screen shooter like Space Invaders or Galega? Or a vertically scrolling shooter?

Best I can come up with is Sky Force: Reloaded. It checks the 'modern-day visual', 'skills' & 'progression' boxes. It's a pretty soft euro-shooter that's accessible to everyone, but there's no ongoing discount anywhere.

Got this. Thanks for posting.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Ugh, I really wish I could find a good JRPG to get on sale

I've just bought a small stack of good JRPGs for cheap... on Xbox 360.

You've played Ys Origin and Ys VIII? Tales of Arise?

 

[Lokaum D+]

Days gone bought, one of the best new IPs Sony made last gen

 

[Krathoon]

Watchdogs Legion Deluxe is $7.

Honky donkey.

 

[Krathoon]

That is what is great about PCs. You can get all these games for dirt cheap. It is where games go to die.

 

[J3nga]

Tempted to get:

Persona 5 Royal

But afraid I'd never finish it.

Armored Core 6

Not sure if it's something I dig in

Kena Bridge of Spirits

Kena is pretty cheap but P5 and AC6 still pretty pricey.

 

[Celcius]

Have any of you played the Steam version of the original ff7?
Looks like it requires some kind of internet connection or auth that people complain about? Also, seems to have a bug where everyone’s mouth is wide open unless you use a mod?

I highly recommend persona 5 Royal even if it takes you like 6 months. One of the greatest games I’ve ever played and was my intro the series.

Have you played the Grandia games? They are on Steam and I believe they are pretty good JRPGs. Thing is, I don't know how good those versions are, or if it might be better to stick to the originals on Saturn/Dreamcast.

Edit: well, first review of the first game claims it's a shit port, and the games aren't even on sale? wtf

Still, you should check out the Grandia games, 1 and 2 at the very least.

 

[Freeman76]

Spent 50€ and got:

- Balatro
- Etrian Odyssey 3 HD
- Halls of Torment
- Risk of Rain 2 + DLC

God bless you GabeN. May you live forever.

Balatro is a banger

 

[Holammer]

Grabbed a few games from my wishlist and Forza Horizon 4's Ultimate Edition because it's getting delisted come December.

 

[Pantz]

My cart is full and I'm drinking a little... maybe I should drink a little more.

 

[Rivdoric]

EA App is so unbearable, i mean absolutely unbearable, i really wonder if i should double-dip to get the games i have on EA App on Steam.
All of them will still require to launch EA App/Origin through steam but at least i'll get working store, download through steam and good library functions.
I swear even Ubisoft Connect is a paradise compared to that crap.
The only downside of that operation is that i'll give EA another $100 just to get rid of them, the irony.

 

[drganon]

I bought a bunch of old ys games for 4 bucks a pop and the first trails in the sky for half off.

 

[Holammer]

Wanted to install Forza 4 and give it a try, but all my disks are filled to the brim, so I ordered a cheap 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade M.2 NVMe.
Even Steam is installed on an old physical disk (let's call it a legacy problem), so it's about time.

I have an 1tb ssd, it would be time to upgrade it with a 2tb SSD.

Which reminds me, I remember someone of Gaf mentioning a shmup they worked on and it had a demo on Steam, was that you?
If I don't have dementia, what is it called? I forgot.

Time to start paring down

what a hoe

 

[Guilty_AI]

Some of the carts i'm seeing here make me feel a lot less bad on my impulsive purchases

 

[diffusionx]

what a hoe

I throw everything Im interested in, in my shopping cart, then whittle it down and usualy end up spending less than $100, $150 max.

 

[Darko]

Bolth BG3 and CP2077 I refuse to buy over $20.

I just bought cyberpunk and expansion

 

[jshackles]

Jesus Square Enix, why don't you ever put Dragon Quest Heroes 1 or 2 on sale? Like, ever?

 

[Grildon Tundy]

It is but it's too damn long.

The Persona series' blessing and curse.

 

[hemo memo]

The Persona series' blessing and curse.

I mean if you skip everything, you’re still looking at something like 70h+

 

[amigastar]

I mean if you skip everything, you’re still looking at something like 70h+

Pheew, 70 hours is no joke. After 40-50 hours i loose interest mostly.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I mean if you skip everything, you’re still looking at something like 70h+

Yeah, I think ~70hours is about right. I just went through Persona 3 Reload and Persona 4 Golden and got the "best" endings in both in around 60 hours for each. I didn't "skip" anything but did speed-read and advanced the dialogues as soon as I grokked them.

My lifestyle provides me with enough free time that these games are great (another way of saying I don't have a family of my own), so these games are 100% gravy.

This is pretty close to what I was looking for. Thank you, kind sir!

Lol I spent £15 and thought I was pushing out the boat. Probably gonna spend a few more quid though. Fancy playing some Tony Hawk 1 and 2.

 

[J3nga]

My purchases

Days before bought house of ashes on sale and now it's off the sale

I been thinking about doing this with games already on gamepass and just buy them on steam for games I like. I use gfn and I have to enter my email for every game I wanna play. But steam games just launch without ever asking me for anything for some reason.

 

[hemo memo]

How is the Chrono Trigger port guys?

 

[bender]

Grabbed a few games from my wishlist and Forza Horizon 4's Ultimate Edition because it's getting delisted come December.

I bought Chasm when it launched on PS4 and it was super disappointing.
