Sort of unrelated but would it be moronic to buy a Switch right now?
Switch 2 seems right around the corner but I want to delve into the catalogue I've been missing out on for 6 years
>You never know what Nintendo will do, their next console could be a piece of crap that you don't even want. >their next console could be a piece of crap that you don't even want.
They've been doing exactly that for decades so I don't know where the surprise comes in
Even if Switch 2 got released tomorrow, Switch 1 would still be great as an emulation and indie machine for at LEAST a couple more years. If you're interested in its exclusives on top of that, it's a no-brainer. Just make sure you find one you can hack.
looking for >controller support >single player >good for second screening >fantasy type game >not fromshit already own them
when i look at fantasy rpg shit they all just meld together and eyes gloss. i tried origins on gamepass a while back but it din't click for me
maybe 2nd screen isn't the term. but a game that i can have something else playing on the side. like Monster Hunter games are engaging, but after a while you can easily hunt while having youtube playing on other screen

If you're 500 hours into a game and you have to watch youtube at the same time just to force yourself to "play" it, it's time to play other games
Second monitor implies that you're not paying active attention to it, if you can play MH on a second monitor, you probably have a computer for a brain and can play just basically anything.
Just mod the hell out of it and treat it like a generic open world mercenary rpg, and you'll be happier than if you think you're playing a Fallout game.
It's fun if you just frick around and don't take anything seriously.
You're probably better off playing any other Fallout or western RPG because 4 doesn't do anything better than anything else on the market
its a mediocre loot shooter with something resembling a fallout skin draped on top
if you enjoyed >roleplaying >an interesting story >choices >dialogue >memorable characters
in previous fallout games, you will not find it there
its basically a fallout game in name only
Fallout 4 is okay if you enjoy the camp raising part or just exploring and shooting. An an RPG you tend to just be presented 4 choices that do the same thing which makes it boring and its core cast is actively unlikeable.
It does have some fun lewd 'collect slave' mods, like Skyrim, but far more stable, which you can have fun with making your own little hobo den. Probably overall the best part. Other mods tend to be very underwhelming, mostly stat shuffling or 'shit you could already do, but now you can do it in more steps'
Code Vein is boring. They gave the enemies super-armor like its still a Monhun clone even though they're small humanoid things and very little counter measures to it, which makes the combat incredibly unsatisfying. The game is basically nothing but combat.
the main plot/story fell off around a quarter of it's way- it is horribly unfinished. If you play like it's a GTA, open-world sandbox type of game and listlessly wander around the engine- it can be fun. I enjoyed it primarily for the environment, art style, some of the typical storytelling Fallout lore. The plot was the massive disappointment. I played it, expecting something more and disappointingly realized that was all there ever was.

Yes and no. As a monster capture game it is different from normal. Price wise it's better than a lot of other ones, mechanically it is not as fricked over by the devs like Temtem is.
Otherwise since it only recently came out you might want to look at other games. Unfortunately the better ones on PC are Nexomon and Disc Creatures.
Coromon is a grindfest, the Digimon games vary, Persona and SMT also vary, Ni No Kuni's somewhat fricked when it comes to combat, World of Final Fantasy is bullshit.
I have no idea how Monster Rancher, Monster Hunter Stories, or Monster Crown are.
Thinking of getting one or both of these to surprise my brother with.
Any suggestions?
He already has the Valve games and the Amid Evil / dusk / Ultrakill games. He played Killer7 back on console, likewise he enjoyed Sly Cooper and Metal Gear Solid. I also know he has Halo Collection.

disillusion is weird, its barely a game but kind of interesting? just because you make your game in rpgmaker doesnt mean you HAVE to add a barebones jrpg combat system (lookin at YOU hylics 1!)
this game also has some kind of shilled connection to agora road which is some lame vaporwave forum that used to advertise here and on reddit full of /misc/Black folk and /x/ unironic schizos talking about how everyone but them is an NPC while completely lacking any sort of self-awareness
that sounds interesting, though I agree with the barebones mechanics part. Some of these games would benefit by not having those. But the premise and visuals look interesting enough for me to give it a shot.
Nice. Now you won't have to look at any Steam sale for the next 4 years, even though you will keep buying more every sale.
What happens to this list when Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core and Starfield come out?
the last new release I played while it came out was elden ring. I prioritize my backlog over new stuff so I think I'll be able to get through these in a reasonable amount of time without getting sidetracked by newer games.

it's a fricking shame there are no more videos about this game and the screenshot button put you back to the main menue. game is intriguing but a chore to actually play
Already finished Hylics, Chosen 2 and The room 4. Going through Rabi-Ribi and Hypnospace now.
And frick me, I feel like getting skyrim (I have never played it) and the Rabi-Ribi dlcs, the game is much fun than I expected. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Any treasures here?
The spirit hunter games are kino, it's a mix of Visual Novel and Point and click.
Beat multiple times, unlocked all classes, its very mediocre. Not really many build options and those that exist are very imbalanced. I got it cheap in a bundle and as such it was an okay novelty, wouldn't rec paying what its asking on its own.
Being able to move on a field doesn't add enough to justify it having less options overall than a single class in StS.
Probably. Its the second best made chinese game I own, but it has issues. However, those issues may be appealing to you, depending on what you want.
The actual core gameplay is very fast-paced and fun. The weapons and girls feel decently varied, although itemization scews very heavily to the stat padding side, less to the 'do cool thing' side. Its mostly very fairly balanced outside of like 3 bosses and the intentionally unfair bonus areas.
Progression is fun 'till a point, which is when you max your characters kill tree, then get presented with this:
https://devilslayerraksasi.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Idol
This is, essentially, a gacha you have to beat the game to get rolls in. Under limitations AND not spending shit to get a decent number of them. Its not a super easy and more importantly not a short game.
This is my main issue with the game. Its just not fun to progress via this tedious rng mess of a system and to see 0 progress if I don't reach the final boss or penalized progress if I don't play gimped and poor.
But if you just want a lot of time for your $, this could be a good thing. Or you just like this kind of system. Up to you.
I'd say its an 8/10 game until you have to deal with soul charms.
Eh
1:
Skul; just a very well polished game. Has some balancing issues, but not many now, as the devs continue to refine it. Biggest actual issue is it being originally low budget, so a lot of enemies are pallete swaps or glorified pallete swaps. Something the Dark Moon mode they recently added somewhat rectifies.

Extremely poorly balanced weapons and near non-existent randomization made it far more repetitive than it should be and its very prone to just killing you in 1 hit, but it simply feels very good to play.
Beyond this point I would say every single game is so mediocre or bad I can't even rank them.
Ie
Icey; controls are borderline non-functioning for some actions, story is pretentious yet poorly written so it comes off as stupid, dumping all points into 1 attack is so much stronger than spreading out that actually using most of your moves is a mistake
Sands of Salazaar; army raising sim where you have no real control over your army
Tales of Immortal; still has NPC's who can aggro on you that are at levels of power the player can't reach even with cheats because they're not programmed into the game for players yet, extremely boring even outside of this
Zengeon; borderlining on an alpha
Rainblood; your parry does 9999 damage

I bought Super Alloy Ranger on a whim and it pretty decent IMO. Imagine Mega Man Zero but much easier. Its controls are good and the graphics are nice.
No imo. I'd say its strictly inferior to the base game. The DLC edgy versions of the girls can't use any weapons but what they spawn with, making it both absurdly repetitive and absurdly imbalanced, as there's nothing you can do to fix the fact Ralciel is absoltue garbage in that DLC and half the others walk over the game (peak being the one who gets permanent life-steal, just for free, for no apparent reason).
The progression is even worse since not only are their soul-dolls reset despite being the same character, they can't use the normal system for adding mutations to a run. They can only choose 'give me 1 mutation', 'give me 3', etc, then the game picks for you
You're liable to play it 1 time with each girl and then have 0 reason to ever return to any of them ebcause they're simply less fun to play

Most people on Ganker will tell you to pick whichever game makes them feel most contrarian. For that reason, don't listen to people telling you to get DD when Witcher 3 is easily one of the best games ever created. I actually envy you being able to play it for the first time. Make sure you get the expansions.
Witcher is a cinematic goyslop rpg. Why would you even play that if you grew up with a PC and had access to actual RPGs? There is zero appeal, it's just absolute crap.
3 is my least favorite but I grew up playing 1/2.
Neither of the 3 games I would describe as "cinematic". It's just Eurojank set in a good universe. Overhyped? Yes. Still good nonetheless.
Cinematic RPG is literally the descriptor of the genre encompassing witcher, kotor, mass effect, dragon age, etc. Basically all these low engagement nwn modules turned into big budget cinematic titles are "cinematic rpgs" insofar as they place production values far above actual RPG gameplay and play nothing like RPGs.
I've never once seen that as a descriptor but I'll take your word for it. It's more text with animated models than "cinematic though". Confusing word choice. Though with the exception of ME3 and all the Dragon Age series except origins, those are good games you just listed.

No, it's a marketing term that got way out of hand. If I like wizardry I will find absolutely nothing I like about that game in skyrim. Leveling up does not make a game an RPG, any game can have that. GTAV has stats which can be leveled, a customizable character with customizable equipment, choices which effect the story and world, and multiple endings. Is GTAV an RPG? I would posit that none of the qualities which currently represent RPGs are actually descriptive of RPGs and completely meaningless.

I always like to use GTA SA as an example of how trying to describe and categorize genres is hard and you really have to go by feel because on paper, in GTA SA:
>you can recruit homies >there are tons of territories to conquer >enemy gangs will attack and conquer your territories if you do not defend them >your minions will fight alongside you while you attempt to take over other gang's territories
So, can GTA:SA not, technically, be described as an RTS, or a strategy game?

>you really have to go by feel
You really don't though, gta, skyrim, and witcher 3 are all clearly open world action adventure games which prioritize those elements above all else. The RPG tag in this case just means "bad game but it's okay because loot has stats".

My statement is 100% true and this would indicate my definition is objective. Most JRPGs are just really bad RPGs, they can't really be anything else. Some JRPGs wind up being really good, but increasingly rarely as time continues.

Its a shame Darkwood has such a shit save system, makes the game way too hard. They should hev just used some sort of inkriboon thing like in classic RE. Playing the whole game again isnt fun or interesting.
I beat it once 3 years ago, tried to do another playthrough for achivements this year, and just remembering the shit I had to went through made me drop it, its a great game but its on the edge of being either enjoyable or beign a fricking misserable experience.
There is an item that gives you extra lives, it would be so easy to instead make that items a the same as an ink ribbon. The difficulty would still be there but people would be able to actually play the game.
Does embryo work on the perma death mode? As I said I was hunting for the other achivements, but I was so afraid of dead that I was really not enjoying the experience at all, normal and hardmode are not so different either, but at least there you get to learn from your mistakes, permadeath is just unfun. And I dont even think I have the energy left for another run, regardless of the difficulty. As you said, another save system wouldve been welcome

Aviary Attorney >Raging Loop >Depersonalization >Spirit Hunter >Shadows of Doubt >pentiment
lacuna was boring. The case of the golden idol was pretty good but short (4 to 6 hours).
Pentiment was an amazing experience for me, it's pretty niche but def a game you either really love or drop instantly.
It seems like every single Detective centered game is doomed to being either boring or badly written. How is the genre so elusive to the media I thought the genre would be thriving the most?
But TCOTGI and Pentiment are games that really appeal to me, might ge those two
i have the exact same experience; a lot of narrative side scrollers were such a slog for me to plat through i started to think the genre just wasn't my thing. Lacuna was bland, backbone was badly written (mostly 2nd act and onwards), blacksad i had high hopes for, also bland. tales of the neon sea was not too bad, but nothing astonishing.
if you liked pathologic HD so much you can at least try their follow-up with The Void. It's got time management, definitely a wild card game, and is atmospherically even more brutal than pathologic. The setting is way more abstract and doesn't make as great an elevator pitch as pathologic though.
I bought It this sale but ahve yet to play it when work vacations start next week, looking forward to it.
I'm a fan of virtually every game on this list (haven't played Her Story or Shadows over Loathing), and if I were to add one I loved Signalis. Mostly it'd fit in the last row.
Based taste, her story isn't much of a game, as it prompts you to choose when you think you solved the mistery and ends there,neat experience overall. West of Loathing and Shadows Over Loathing are two of the 5 games that do humor right, makes me look forward to what my choices will affect and what dialogues im going to read, SOL has decent turn based combat as well.
I have heard a lot of things about signalis, and its up there on my list, but I think I will wait until winter sale, still very interesting.
>Return of the Obra Dinn >Her Story
Check out The Curse of the Golden Idol, Keyword: A Spider's Thread, or The Painscreek Killings.
Golden Idol gets recommended every thread to other anons with similar tastes as well, totally getting that one.
Oh, duh. And Shadows of Doubt. It's in Early Access but is basically feature complete.
Ive been following shadows of doubt for a quite a while, but then it released in a very unoptimized state for me, so im going to get until it gets out of early access, but seems like a game made for me specifically.

Skarlet Nexus has interesting gameplay, but it got old and there was no story at all to keep your engaged. Code Vein is eh, but slightly better than Skarlet for me.
Thank you both, any JRPGs to recommend that are actually worthwhile? I want to give them a shot and not be a hugbox homosexual like Dunkey. Hard mode: Nothing final fantasy related.
While I think Chrono Trigger is really overrated its an excellent babies first jrpg.
The newest dragon quest is a safe bet too.
Tales of Vesperias a solid quintessential JRPG
If you want to go back to older games then Grandia and Suikoden 2. More Grandia than Suikoden because while I think Suikodens better Grandias a better first JRPG.
Personas not a bad JRPG for a first one so long as you understand its LONG as shit going into it.
If you like crafting the first Ryzas a good entry.
Just stay the frick away from Trails games, people will try and push them but you will be fricking miserable.

Issues with PC Grandia are >Softening filter making everything look slightly worse >Fricked up skybox
Most of the complaints were bugs which were fixed and zoomer journalists screaming about no speed up mode, cheat mode, or save states.
Honestly unless you are going to emulate the sega saturn version its better than the playstation version.
Skipping over action-based combat...
AAA: FF9, emulate anything before 7. NIS games but you can emulate them. Octopath (2>1). Persona/SMT series. Chrono Trigger is better emulated. Romancing SaGa 3 (emulation or pc is fine).
Indie: LiEat, Bug Fables, Nusakana, ... can't remember anything else off the top of my head that are on sale and good. Earthlock maybe?

Thank you once again for the selections, I think I will try out the Nier series, then Valkyria series, and possibly a Trails game despite warning. I am a patient person and love challenging and grindy games, but specifically if the grind is somewhat fun and the benefits are great. People have been shitting on Nier's story as far as I can remember so I will play that one first. Any more suggestions will be nice and I will add them to my wishlist.

Nier Automata + the dlc that adds a few areas is $25. Get it OR Replicant. I can't suggest both at the same time.
Surprised you're not getting Valkyria + 4. >Trails game
Just emulate them. They never go on a decent sale and if you're lucky they'll appear in a bundle.

Im pretty sure the game of the YorHA edition contains the DLC as well anon, but looks like I will be getting Replicant because I really like Kaine's design.

>Nier
People shit on Nier but it's a wild ride all the way through. I love the stories but even if I didn't the gameplay is more than enough. >Valkyria
Pretty good though much more strategy esque like Xcom. >Trails
Sky and Crossbell can be challenging and grindy but only play these if you enjoy novel size VNs. It's one of those games where the slower you take it the bigger the payoff. Except the Coldsteel games they're just fun flashy gameplay and shit story.

This is the final selection, object now or forever hold your peace. I will emulate the Gradia and Trail games on my own time, and the Valkyria games look awesome, I need more military girl rpgs in my life.

No its purely cosmetic and allows you to have more cosmetic options on your profile. I like creating theme'd profiles with steam points and also uploading artwork to mix with it. Its pretty autistic but I enjoy it. I have a Aizen, a Bejita, Revolver Ocelot, Big Boss, and a Neo steam profile preset.

higher levels do things like expanding the amount of people you can have on friends list or like other other guy said, adding more showcases to your profile, or slightly increasing your chance of getting booster pack drops

Pirate Yakuza 0 before you get the collection.
All the yakuza games are filled with a bunch of minigames and side content that can get very tedious to 100%
Also try sleeping dogs if you want something a little more fast paced than the yakuza games.
Nier replicant is fricking awesome.
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Yakuza bundle. I've only played 0 so far but I really enjoyed it. Is the bundle always this price or is it actually part of the sale?
If you enjoyed 0, sure.
But also they are all up on gog if you want them for free.
How is it?
It's still in early access. I pirated it. It was decent. I would wait for the full game.
Scarlet is okay. Not amazing. Fun in its on way but kinda fricky and weird. I got the game in a bundle so it was worth that way.
The dlc is better off getting the one "ultimate season pass" but it never goes lower than $20 so $25 for "Scarlet Ultimate" is actually pretty good.
If I could only choose one, which one?
Toss out Code Vein and Crash Bandicoot. If you get Scarlet Nexus, get the "Ultimate" version since it is $10 for all the extra content dlc.
Otherwise I'd suggest getting something else.
Havent played code vein but scarlet nexus is aggressively meh.
Take away the split MC and tighten the party up and it would have made for a way better game.
As it stands you are mostly bored and lightly confused
I've been lead to believe that Senran Kagura games are like 80% fanservice and 20% gameplay.
If that is correct, which one(s) are the best when it comes to gameplay? I know some of them are spinoffs and belong to different genres, I am open to anything really.
They are unfortunately a lot of reading, practically half vn. If you're gonna just get one, estival versus has the largest cast of characters. The gameplay parts are basically a musou.
Thanks for the answer friend, that's the one I was eyeing actually. I've seen gameplay videos of that and to my surprise, the combat looks like it has some weight to it.
They told you wrong.
Burst re:Newal and Shinovi Versus are excellent gameplay-wise; easily some of the best action games released during the PS4 era and very underrated games due to the breasts and panties making people believe they're shallow.
Estival Versus is a massive downgrade but still serviceable.
Thanks for the input m8, I'll look into those as well. I am looking at the store page and I see Haruka is in Shinovi Versus, is she in Burst re:Newal as well? I like Haruka
>She's basically a summoner like DMC5's V
Oh, neat.
Thanks again for the answer, I am now looking at the differences between the two to see which one I'll try first.

have more money than i ever had in my whole life and i just dont give a frick about any of these games. i buyed neon whhite last year and never played it. i like fast shooters. boltgun was ugly and clunky. last new game i got was deeprock and its all i play now. help me.
i know the feeling. im sitting on 40k of money saved up to spend on whatever, and i just dont have much i care to buy. i bought some stuff in the sale just because im slightly curious about trying it, but my haul is a lot less than it was 5 or 10 years ago.
>i buyed neon whhite last year and never played it.
you should probably play it right now. >last new game i got was deeprock and its all i play now
nevermind you're an actual moron
infra is much better than tunic, i have no idea how you were dumb enough to buy dyeus. thats basically a mobile game. toki tori is pretty good and better than tunic too imo
Frostpunk, but I've never played it, heard only good things about it.
Cryostasis is eurojank, and even today is a gpu killer. Mostly because of previously mentioned eurojank. the story goes off the rails in the last boss fight though.
Bro, all these discount are low as frick. Are you really going to play all of them before the next sale? MYM seems to be a dead cashgrab, read steam reviews to get more insight.
Master of Magic is trash, play the original plus Caster of Magic and be done with it. Pirate it if you must. Darkest Dungeon 2 is terrible and that's why they took epic money. Front Mission is the only one on the list I would consider.

Among us is nothing like either of those I'm asking for something like the ship/deceive inc which are a bit more action focused. Not Salem or ss13 likes.
I guess I'm going to settle for this, there are a few games I would like to add but they are mixed on reception but mostly I can't spend that much money right now.

Doesn't matter. Yakuza games go cheap all the time. Buy whichever one you want to buy next at like 1 dollar, then if you want to play another, buy one more. Buying shit like this you'll just burn out on is how you get a 500 game backlog yet not want to play anything

That's $70 right now.
>You mean Like a Dragon?
yes >None of the dlc look worth it, so that makes it $15.
yeah none of the dlc are worth it, not even the extra classes >You mean these?
yes those ones but lost judgment is a bit expensive since it came out in 2021, and the dlc for it is completely overpriced
I mean, it’s a roguelike it’s eventually gonna get repetitive, I was more so annoyed with the items and their effects, if you’ve ever played Let It Die it’s a lot like that, you have to spend some time memorizing what they do so you don’t accidentally light yourself on fire. The game doesn’t tell you anything aside from the cryptic messages either. If you like the sound of that it’ll keep you interested for a while. I think it has a demo or the dev finally finished that free side-game so maybe check that out first if it’s to your taste
I can't get past the first elevator in the demo that's why I'm asking. I don't mind repetition unless it's tedious or annoying.
I've read that the later levels are really big mazes and you have to find keys while dodging unkillable or endlessly respawning enemies. That sounds kinda annoying rather than fun.
Yeah I never got that far and that does sound annoying. It’s a LOT of resource management, so I can only imagine going around the level with your limited-use weapons and the hide and seek gameplay. It’s an understandable skip.
Im putting in what state I live in right now for a steam account I just made. Is it possible to dodge sales tax altogether by putting in a state that has none like Delaware?
After multiple attempts of buying a sub $5 horror game (The Coma/2 and Knock-knock) and they all being buggy pieces of shit that don't work which I refunded give up.
Is Dead Cells any good? I normally don't frick with roguelikeshit but this looks like the gameplay might actually be fun. I don't give a shit about incremental value runs if the game itself isn't fun, and if bad rng doom runs are a large factor like Noita I'm not sure if I should bother.
dead cells is pretty good, definitely in the upper tier of roguelites. you can rely on RNG to get really good enchantments and breeze through it but it's very possible to beat the game with anything.
good choice
dont use the defender gear
when you feel ready to move on from the base game you can use creamapi and unlock iceborne and all the shitty cosmetic charms that capcom wanted you to pay 3 dollars each for
actually you should use it right away to unlock the handler's cute costumes which dont require iceborne
Any recommendations if I really enjoy space 4X? I've spent thousands of total hours between Stellaris and SW:EAW and now I'm craving even more. Please help me.
I'm actually deeply disappointed in VI. Everything is much brighter and the sprites seem to have less detail than the SNES counterparts. The redone music is fine.
>Xeodrifter
There's better Metroid clones. >Silver Case

Why? >Titan Souls
I recommend trying the gamejam version first. Either versions are a bit clunky but it's like someone tried to recreate Shadow of the Colossus in LTTP's engine. >Pyre
I recommend any game BUT that by the devs. Pyre's the weakest but it's not exactly terrible. Just stupid. >Inversion
Never heard of it.
>Is 25th Ward worth playing if I haven't yet played the Silver Case?
anon, it's a sequel to a story-heavy game. So you tell me if it's a good idea.
Also, TSC is superior (25th war is good but never reaches TSC's peaks) in every way except the stupid puzzles (feel free to use a walkthrough for them, they're just time wasters).
b***h it's $20. >but ts only 50% off
Including the dlc. As they came out you would've shelled out about $100 for everything in pieces.
While yes it should be lower, $20 is dirt cheap compared to release prices.
Guess what's not on the store!
The main game.
So either you'll be paying $5 extra for the spinoffs and standalone character dlc in the game properly, or you'll have to find a key reseller who has the original game. Which might instead be for the full version.
alright i think im done with this sale.
my damage is 13775 ars or 53 usd, all things considered pretty good.
here's my usual argie account tutorial for anyone interested:
1. go to plati.market and buy a fresh account set to argentina region (cheaper than buying a vpn just for making the account, but if you have one already you can just make it on youur own i think) (https://plati.market/itm/steam-account-kazakhstan-turkey-argentina-india-us/3565651)
2. buy an argentinian wallet card equilavent to 5 usd to get rid of the limited status on your account (used to be 300 ars when i first made the account but inflation's quirky, was 500 when i last checked) cards are so expensive because steam stopped producing them 2 years ago, so if you dont get one now it'll keep increasing in price.
3. go to some 3rd party steam item market (i use dmarket because it's the cheapest) buy some tf2 keys and withdraw them to your account and sell them on the community market
4. buy games
never EVER use any payment methods or you'll get reverted to your real region.
have fun anons.
SoP
6/10
Extremely linear action game where the solution to any puzzle is 'interact with the only thing you can in this room or the one next to it', the story spoils itself in everything except the actual cutscenes (random orbs, loading screens both say more) and combat is absolutely braindead as I just sort of run right at the enemies, mash X until they die or stop being hitstunned, at which point I press Y instead and they get hitstunned. Weapons largely feel identical because they all have the same combo routes and all that really matters is 'can I get my Y out before they hit me' or 'does this give more mp than it uses with Samurai'
I'm genuinely impressed with how bad this game is.
Bladed Fury: 4/10
Very small movepool, very simple mechanics, kind of lost me when it introduced enemies whos attacks can't be parried who spam the screen with aoe projectiles but its so easy it barely mattered
I also got Spark but that game was too shit to even finish.
>SimsCity 4
Anon, toss it.
Not sure on Wreck or Rainbow Six 3, but Terraria is good if a bit clunky in terms of the gui.
Nier Automata is good.
thoughts?
Slay the Spire has been in bundles.
So has desperados 3.
Chicory is a color book with an action-adventure setup.
Pony Island is fine, Hex is stupid, never played Inscryption so not sure on it.
What the frick is Northern Journey?
Never played Railbound so no comment.
I might be mixing it up with a similar game but I remember Tunic being clunky as frick. Also it's been in a bundle.
Yakuza dragon... I'd say get 0 first but the series is part of a weird bundle deal instead of being directly on sale. But don't get the dlc if you do get this one.
yeah I'm looking at that bundle. Soulstice, Garden Story, not sure what to get for 3rd slot.
Going Under is also a common bundle/mystery key so I probably won't buy it but instead try to trade for it.

Soulstice is pretty shit; not worth the $3.33
It's a worse DmC, if that's even possible.
Asterigos is mediocre; another shitty Souls clone devoid of identity (even when the Greek-like setting is kind of neat).
Stranger of Paradise is a way worse Nioh; basically all the bad parts of Nioh turned up to eleven. Basically a game people recommend due to memes alone.
Those and Soulstice are the only games I advise against; the rest are pretty decent or I haven't played them.
helpful thanks however the monogatari replies worry me because I know that anime series is awful so terrible opinion might infect video game recommendations.
Mortal Shell sucks, drop it. Enemies aren't aggresive enough for the core mechanic (taking free hits on a cooldown, essentially) to actually be fun. It just makes it a very easy game.
Soulstice is in a bundle on Fanatical and isn't very good. Its Donte May Cry's color-coding system but worse and even when you hit the enemies with the right color like half the games enemies will often or always simply not take any hitstun anyways. Extremely unsatisfying. Its a shame. Its a cool world with some cool powers, but the combat is just not good.
Drop Senran Kagura. Port of a handheld series and feels like it. Characters have tiny movesets and you can barely enjoy what little they have before it throws you into boss fights which just boil down to repeatedly doing combo>launcher>chase over and over again until they die
Drop Spark, its just bad. In basically every way.
Citadel is in a bundle on fanatical.
Drop Icey. Extremely mediocre combat where the best way to win is to just dump all your cash into maxing one move then spam it ignoring anything else, janky controls with multiple actions tied to one input, tries to do 'le quirky narrtor' and multiple paths ala Stanley but the only path worth seeign is the one where the dev cries about his shit game not selling well because the writing that's not breaking the 4th wall is really fricking bad
Alice is apparently a bad port
Minoria goes in bundles often and its on sale all the time just get it later
Drop SoP, that's just mash X or mash Y: the game, with mediocre combat everything outside of combat feeling legitimately unfinished
[...] >tfw never saw most of these because actually good at games
The one or two I did see felt jarring. Its not a lewd game at all outside of this. Not too sure why they felt the need to make the deaths go so against the rest of the tone
helpful. Many people here hate soulstice and this explanation is convincing, dropped.

So i know the rimworld dlcs are hardly on sale. Ive been meaning to do another playthrough of it. Are the 3 dlcs worth grabbing, do they add anything meaningful to be worth what they are?
Epic Battle Fantasy 3 part of a flashgame series.
The rest are indie games whose dev dropped the prices on (not counting the dead Crescent Prism).
They're all free and better than the majority of free jrpgs on Steam.
Battlebit is surprisingly decent and may entertain you far more than either of those. Hunt Showdown has soft cheats (graphics changing reshaders) that are heavily abused. Squad is FILLED with the worst type of wannabe military inbreds I have ever witnessed.
Hunt Showdown is good, I play it on the Steam Deck just as-is. I don’t know if I’m just good or what but I mostly destroy it on random trios. As long as you stay in servers you understand the speaking language in you’ll do fine in comms.
There's a dude on YouTube talking about class builds for each character, watch that if you don't mind class spoilers. That's pretty much it, you'll learn as you go otherwise. The swordsman guy is a good starter, as is the huntress, but the real based characters are partitio and the wizard. I can't remember their names 2 months later now lmao but I chose partitio

Funny thing: it's cheaper to get Octopath 2 + various daylife than to get Octopath 2.
That said, in addition to the demo there's a cracked version of Octopath 2.
If you want to break the dmg limit asap then start with Hikari.
Set aside 100k to buy a ship
Jobs can later be equipped by any party member so don't stress
If you plan to use hired helpers like foreign assassins with Partitio, recruit a npc with a merchant skill that lowers/refunds the cost to use them to save money

Sort of unrelated but would it be moronic to buy a Switch right now?
Switch 2 seems right around the corner but I want to delve into the catalogue I've been missing out on for 6 years
I really like mine.
You never know what Nintendo will do, their next console could be a piece of crap that you don't even want.
>You never know what Nintendo will do, their next console could be a piece of crap that you don't even want.
>their next console could be a piece of crap that you don't even want.
They've been doing exactly that for decades so I don't know where the surprise comes in
Even if Switch 2 got released tomorrow, Switch 1 would still be great as an emulation and indie machine for at LEAST a couple more years. If you're interested in its exclusives on top of that, it's a no-brainer. Just make sure you find one you can hack.
>Switch 2 seems right around the corner

Fallout 4 is good if you're just screwing around.
It has a really fricking moronic main plot and factions.
>it can't be that bad right?
FO4 was pretty mediocre, but at a steep discount it might be fun enough to pick up. There was at least some things I liked about it.
Just mod the hell out of it and treat it like a generic open world mercenary rpg, and you'll be happier than if you think you're playing a Fallout game.
It's fun if you just frick around and don't take anything seriously.
You're probably better off playing any other Fallout or western RPG because 4 doesn't do anything better than anything else on the market
>4 doesn't do anything better than anything else on the market

That's supposed to be a negative?
Third worst including spin-offs
So better than... shelter and brotherhood of steel? or 76 even?
shelter is more fun than 4 tbh, i just make me, frick all the women, and send all the males into the wasteland to die
Fallout 4 is okay if you enjoy the camp raising part or just exploring and shooting. An an RPG you tend to just be presented 4 choices that do the same thing which makes it boring and its core cast is actively unlikeable.
It does have some fun lewd 'collect slave' mods, like Skyrim, but far more stable, which you can have fun with making your own little hobo den. Probably overall the best part. Other mods tend to be very underwhelming, mostly stat shuffling or 'shit you could already do, but now you can do it in more steps'
Code Vein is boring. They gave the enemies super-armor like its still a Monhun clone even though they're small humanoid things and very little counter measures to it, which makes the combat incredibly unsatisfying. The game is basically nothing but combat.
It's shit but at least you can get it cheap now.
>how bad is fallout 4?
It kicks you in the dick for expecting a fallout game and keeps kicking all the way to the end.
the main plot/story fell off around a quarter of it's way- it is horribly unfinished. If you play like it's a GTA, open-world sandbox type of game and listlessly wander around the engine- it can be fun. I enjoyed it primarily for the environment, art style, some of the typical storytelling Fallout lore. The plot was the massive disappointment. I played it, expecting something more and disappointingly realized that was all there ever was.
>I enjoyed it primarily for the environment, art style
No you didn't.

Who wants to play?
Is Cassette Beasts fun
Yes and no. As a monster capture game it is different from normal. Price wise it's better than a lot of other ones, mechanically it is not as fricked over by the devs like Temtem is.
Otherwise since it only recently came out you might want to look at other games. Unfortunately the better ones on PC are Nexomon and Disc Creatures.
Coromon is a grindfest, the Digimon games vary, Persona and SMT also vary, Ni No Kuni's somewhat fricked when it comes to combat, World of Final Fantasy is bullshit.
I have no idea how Monster Rancher, Monster Hunter Stories, or Monster Crown are.
I recommend pirating it
Thinking of getting one or both of these to surprise my brother with.
Any suggestions?
He already has the Valve games and the Amid Evil / dusk / Ultrakill games. He played Killer7 back on console, likewise he enjoyed Sly Cooper and Metal Gear Solid. I also know he has Halo Collection.
>Any suggestions?
judging by his taste I'd say he would enjoy both prey and dishonored
Both of those were free on EGS.
>EGS
no thanks timmy
Thanks.
What are the most popular competitive vidya and multiplayer shooters on the market right now?
Overwatch 2
Valorant
Apex
How are these games:
>Hunt Showdown
>Remnant From the Ashes
>Outward
Which one for solo since i got no frends
>Hunt Showdown
Skip if you're solo. It's great fun with friends, but pretty much impossible with randoms.
hunt is mid, has reshaders which are abused to soft cheat.
Remnant is also pretty mid but it works for a dark souls shooter.
Outward is terrible.
Got these games. Share your thoughts, anons.
There are a lot of good games in there. That's like 6 months straight of vidya.
yeah summer sale is the only time I buy games, I'm probably set for the next year or more. Thanks for your input.
Can I borrow some money?
you don't need to, anon. You can achieve this on your own.
>milk outside
no milk inside?
oh I've played that already, got it last year I think. It was a good little game.
Add all these to a collection and then report how many of them you actually played during next year's summer sale.
I'll probably have played through at least 60-70% of these I think.
You wont play half of those in 2 years
Goodbye wallet.
Consider refunding Grandia and just emulating.
https://steamcommunity.com/id/gamer_7601/recommended/1034860/
I'll look into this, thanks for your advice.
that sounds interesting, though I agree with the barebones mechanics part. Some of these games would benefit by not having those. But the premise and visuals look interesting enough for me to give it a shot.
the last new release I played while it came out was elden ring. I prioritize my backlog over new stuff so I think I'll be able to get through these in a reasonable amount of time without getting sidetracked by newer games.
>disillusion
reposting my comment from other thread
disillusion is weird, its barely a game but kind of interesting? just because you make your game in rpgmaker doesnt mean you HAVE to add a barebones jrpg combat system (lookin at YOU hylics 1!)
this game also has some kind of shilled connection to agora road which is some lame vaporwave forum that used to advertise here and on reddit full of /misc/Black folk and /x/ unironic schizos talking about how everyone but them is an NPC while completely lacking any sort of self-awareness
>this game also has some kind of shilled connection to agora road which is some lame vaporwave forum that used to advertise here and on reddit full of /misc/Black folk and /x/ unironic schizos talking about how everyone but them is an NPC while completely lacking any sort of self-awareness
Isnt that just regular pol now and here?
it's a fricking shame there are no more videos about this game and the screenshot button put you back to the main menue. game is intriguing but a chore to actually play
Nice. Now you won't have to look at any Steam sale for the next 4 years, even though you will keep buying more every sale.
Yup. 700 unplayed games, deal with it homosexual
What happens to this list when Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core and Starfield come out?
Already finished Hylics, Chosen 2 and The room 4. Going through Rabi-Ribi and Hypnospace now.
And frick me, I feel like getting skyrim (I have never played it) and the Rabi-Ribi dlcs, the game is much fun than I expected. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You have a bit of everything, very nice list. Enjoy
If you liked Hypnospace, try Broken Reality.
The Yomawari games if you like youkai and japanese urban vibes.
Maybe Antichamber if you feel like playing puzzles.
The room series too.
The spirit hunter games are kino, it's a mix of Visual Novel and Point and click.
I'm taking recs on
>Ice hockey
>Rugby
>RTS
If you're reccing an RTS, try to rec a niche one. I've got all the big ones.
Beat multiple times, unlocked all classes, its very mediocre. Not really many build options and those that exist are very imbalanced. I got it cheap in a bundle and as such it was an okay novelty, wouldn't rec paying what its asking on its own.
Being able to move on a field doesn't add enough to justify it having less options overall than a single class in StS.
NTA but would you recommend Devil Slayer? I've had my eye on it for some time but never pulled the trigger
Probably. Its the second best made chinese game I own, but it has issues. However, those issues may be appealing to you, depending on what you want.
The actual core gameplay is very fast-paced and fun. The weapons and girls feel decently varied, although itemization scews very heavily to the stat padding side, less to the 'do cool thing' side. Its mostly very fairly balanced outside of like 3 bosses and the intentionally unfair bonus areas.
Progression is fun 'till a point, which is when you max your characters kill tree, then get presented with this:
https://devilslayerraksasi.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Idol
This is, essentially, a gacha you have to beat the game to get rolls in. Under limitations AND not spending shit to get a decent number of them. Its not a super easy and more importantly not a short game.
This is my main issue with the game. Its just not fun to progress via this tedious rng mess of a system and to see 0 progress if I don't reach the final boss or penalized progress if I don't play gimped and poor.
But if you just want a lot of time for your $, this could be a good thing. Or you just like this kind of system. Up to you.
I'd say its an 8/10 game until you have to deal with soul charms.
>Its the second best made chinese game I own
Rank em all senpai, I am curious.
Eh
1:
Skul; just a very well polished game. Has some balancing issues, but not many now, as the devs continue to refine it. Biggest actual issue is it being originally low budget, so a lot of enemies are pallete swaps or glorified pallete swaps. Something the Dark Moon mode they recently added somewhat rectifies.
2:
Raksasi
See my last post
3:
Journey to the West
Objectively poorly designed but also by far the most fun StS clone on the market, and I own basically all of those.
4:
Gunfire
Extremely poorly balanced weapons and near non-existent randomization made it far more repetitive than it should be and its very prone to just killing you in 1 hit, but it simply feels very good to play.
Beyond this point I would say every single game is so mediocre or bad I can't even rank them.
Ie
Icey; controls are borderline non-functioning for some actions, story is pretentious yet poorly written so it comes off as stupid, dumping all points into 1 attack is so much stronger than spreading out that actually using most of your moves is a mistake
Sands of Salazaar; army raising sim where you have no real control over your army
Tales of Immortal; still has NPC's who can aggro on you that are at levels of power the player can't reach even with cheats because they're not programmed into the game for players yet, extremely boring even outside of this
Zengeon; borderlining on an alpha
Rainblood; your parry does 9999 damage
Red Obsidian; spamming round-trip kills every enemy in the game and pays for itself at 0 risk
etc
>Rainblood
I played that game years ago, was fun. They made a sequel that was a chink only gacha game. I would've liked to have tried it since the new characters looked neat.
Wgats the gacha called
I wanna see what moronic ocs they made, the game had like 5 actual characters tops
I don't remember exactly. I found a version that's apparently getting a steam release, but it doesn't quite look the same as what I remember.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2365940/Phantom_Blade_Executioners/
thanks broski
I bought Super Alloy Ranger on a whim and it pretty decent IMO. Imagine Mega Man Zero but much easier. Its controls are good and the graphics are nice.
Is the DLC worth getting? I have the game already
No imo. I'd say its strictly inferior to the base game. The DLC edgy versions of the girls can't use any weapons but what they spawn with, making it both absurdly repetitive and absurdly imbalanced, as there's nothing you can do to fix the fact Ralciel is absoltue garbage in that DLC and half the others walk over the game (peak being the one who gets permanent life-steal, just for free, for no apparent reason).
The progression is even worse since not only are their soul-dolls reset despite being the same character, they can't use the normal system for adding mutations to a run. They can only choose 'give me 1 mutation', 'give me 3', etc, then the game picks for you
You're liable to play it 1 time with each girl and then have 0 reason to ever return to any of them ebcause they're simply less fun to play
Thank you for the lengthy answer

How "lite" are the "rogue" elements in Noita? What do you keep if you went kaput?
Absolutely nothing.
Its not a roguelite at all, its an arcade game.
Thinking of getting these.
Mystia's Izakaya is great
Finished Spark 3 last week, had a great time.
bros, making an argie account is life changing. i just got 39 games for 15 dollarydoos converted to argie money. this is awesome.
I'm a dumbass so question: don't you have to pay for the conversion rates and set the account to a valid address in the region?
What do I buy with 6 dollars? I have most of triple a slop

Any horror or interesting games? I bought elephantasy because it looked very fez like.
Ordered my deck 8 days ago and it's finally shipping. Hope Sonic Adventure 1/2 mods work on it.
The Witcher 3 or Dragon's Dogma?
Dragons Dogma or Kingdom of Amalur > Witcher 3 or Skyrim
DD
DD2 is looking like DD1 but finished so wait for that.
as much as I love DD, I have to recommend TW3 + its expansions, if you can
I don't even like dd but you are an irredeemable moron if you choose goyslop 3 over that.
Witcher because DD filters a lot of people.
Most people on Ganker will tell you to pick whichever game makes them feel most contrarian. For that reason, don't listen to people telling you to get DD when Witcher 3 is easily one of the best games ever created. I actually envy you being able to play it for the first time. Make sure you get the expansions.
Witcher 3 requires you to suffer through 2 shitty games first
Not really. All the consequences of W2 are handwaved and W1 is borderline irrelevant.
No it doesn't. I've only played Witcher 3. The game does a good job of accommodating new players.
Witcher is a cinematic goyslop rpg. Why would you even play that if you grew up with a PC and had access to actual RPGs? There is zero appeal, it's just absolute crap.
more buzzwords.
You don't play actual video games. I bet if you post your most played games right now it's all gunna be depressingly boring normalgay shit.
Case in point. He even posts an anime picture as a virtual fedora tip.
Waiting. Stop samegayging and hop to it.
I can smell your Cheeto-encrusted fingers through my screen
Looks like you've been called out, back to plebbit you go.
Called out for what? My self worth is not in any way tied to the obscurity of the games I enjoy, lard.
3 is my least favorite but I grew up playing 1/2.
Neither of the 3 games I would describe as "cinematic". It's just Eurojank set in a good universe. Overhyped? Yes. Still good nonetheless.
Cinematic RPG is literally the descriptor of the genre encompassing witcher, kotor, mass effect, dragon age, etc. Basically all these low engagement nwn modules turned into big budget cinematic titles are "cinematic rpgs" insofar as they place production values far above actual RPG gameplay and play nothing like RPGs.
I've never once seen that as a descriptor but I'll take your word for it. It's more text with animated models than "cinematic though". Confusing word choice. Though with the exception of ME3 and all the Dragon Age series except origins, those are good games you just listed.
>Though with the exception of ME3 and all the Dragon Age series except origins, those are good games you just listed.
If you think those are good games I think anything you say can be safely ignored. There is a reason games like that are rarely made anymore.
What RPGs do you like?
BG3
haha you like bear sex
I'm excited for that as well anon. KOTOR and ME 1-2 are still good games though.
Pool of Radiance, Krynn, eye of the beholder, wasteland 1, Wizardry 5-7, Wizards and Warriors, Might and Magic 3-6, Lands of Lore, Dungeon Rats, Age of Decadence, Temple of Elemental Evil, Knights of the Chalice 1 and 2, Ultima 4-6, Grimoire, expeditions conquistador, stalker gamma, deus ex, nethack, sil-q, bards tale 1-3, etc
>Wizardry, Might and Magic, Stalker, Deus Ex, Wasteleand
Hey cool I like these too. Thanks for the recs. Though certainly a narrow definition of what RPGs are.
>a narrow definition of what RPGs are.
wizardry and skyrim should not be lumped together. a genre is not an accurate descriptor if this is possible.
It's an umbrella term. RPGs have wildly different genres within. JRPGs, ARPGs, CRPGs, Strategy Rpgs. None of them should really be compared.
>It's an umbrella term.
No, it's a marketing term that got way out of hand. If I like wizardry I will find absolutely nothing I like about that game in skyrim. Leveling up does not make a game an RPG, any game can have that. GTAV has stats which can be leveled, a customizable character with customizable equipment, choices which effect the story and world, and multiple endings. Is GTAV an RPG? I would posit that none of the qualities which currently represent RPGs are actually descriptive of RPGs and completely meaningless.
I always like to use GTA SA as an example of how trying to describe and categorize genres is hard and you really have to go by feel because on paper, in GTA SA:
>you can recruit homies
>there are tons of territories to conquer
>enemy gangs will attack and conquer your territories if you do not defend them
>your minions will fight alongside you while you attempt to take over other gang's territories
So, can GTA:SA not, technically, be described as an RTS, or a strategy game?
>you really have to go by feel
You really don't though, gta, skyrim, and witcher 3 are all clearly open world action adventure games which prioritize those elements above all else. The RPG tag in this case just means "bad game but it's okay because loot has stats".
GTA, Skyrim and Witcher 3 have fricking nothing in common other than being open world, though. Like I said, by your logic GTA has just as much in common with Total War or Age of Empires.
>GTA, Skyrim and Witcher 3 have fricking nothing in common other than being open world, though
This is actually wrong, they all have almost a completely identical gameplay loop.
You're description of RPGs is set to a very specific time period and only to the west. At that time out East they were calling Dragon Quest and FF games RPGs. Those games have nothing in common with them either.
>Dragon Quest and FF games RPGs
Early DQ and FF are literally just a fusion of Wiz and Ultima into something more accessible for children.
Regardless of how true your statement is, they were still regarded as "RPGs". Meaning your definition has always been subjective.
>Regardless of how true your statement is, they were still regarded as "RPGs". Meaning your definition has always been subjective
My statement is 100% true and this would indicate my definition is objective. Most JRPGs are just really bad RPGs, they can't really be anything else. Some JRPGs wind up being really good, but increasingly rarely as time continues.
I agree with your stance on JRPGs as well but it still doesn't make your definition right. Opinions of quality isn't what's in question here.
If a asiatic in 1990 said " oo Might&Magic not real RPG. It not like Dragon Quest" they would be wrong too.
Might and Magic plays like dragon quest, I have no idea what you mean by this.
Did you know that in the sega master system version of Ultima 4 they reformated the dungeons to have a top down represention like JRPGs and it still plays exactly the same?
Folks, don't be like this loser with his self-worth tied to some imaginary superiority bestowed on him as a result of his supposedly eclectic taste in video games which is probably hentai furry shit anyway. Play what you like. The video games you play don't make you a better person than anyone else, and they sure as hell aren't a substitute for a real personality.
I'm staring at Deadly Premonition at -90% off...
Tell me why it's a bad idea, please
I watched a LP of it. Its a its so bad its good game that plagiarizes Twin Peaks nearly whole sale.
WHY DOES THIS KEEP SHOWING ON MY STORE RANDOMLY? FIX YOUR SHIT GABE YOU FAT FRICKER
This might be too much to ask, even the smallest reccomendation is welcome. My lack of written expression forced me to do this thing to explain myself better. I want games that fit the feeling of each of the rows here (horizontal, x axis, left to right).
>Mistery games where you get agency in "solving the case" before the devs do it for you. (Detective optional).
>Time management games that rely on time slots to change the game state and for you to make progress on an specific thing.
>Wild card. Games that subvert expectations and make you go "OK this has to be the peak of the game, no way for it to WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT" every 10 minutes.
>Urban themed kino with important choices, roleplaying, and at least some replayability, not necessarily an immersive sim. No medieval fantasy setting preferably.
>Atmospheric grim games where the human spirit is put at stake to fair against the odds, forcing you to do some horrible things, in a world that doesnt even wants you dead, it just doesn't care.
Anything is appreciated, even games that left you with mixed impressions.
Its a shame Darkwood has such a shit save system, makes the game way too hard. They should hev just used some sort of inkriboon thing like in classic RE. Playing the whole game again isnt fun or interesting.
I beat it once 3 years ago, tried to do another playthrough for achivements this year, and just remembering the shit I had to went through made me drop it, its a great game but its on the edge of being either enjoyable or beign a fricking misserable experience.
There is an item that gives you extra lives, it would be so easy to instead make that items a the same as an ink ribbon. The difficulty would still be there but people would be able to actually play the game.
Does embryo work on the perma death mode? As I said I was hunting for the other achivements, but I was so afraid of dead that I was really not enjoying the experience at all, normal and hardmode are not so different either, but at least there you get to learn from your mistakes, permadeath is just unfun. And I dont even think I have the energy left for another run, regardless of the difficulty. As you said, another save system wouldve been welcome

gunna be real with, that chart was made by some moronic emo kid and EYE is the only good game that you have listed
No idea what chart you are talking about, Could you share it?
This games have been on my wishlist for more than a year.
lacuna was boring. The case of the golden idol was pretty good but short (4 to 6 hours).
Pentiment was an amazing experience for me, it's pretty niche but def a game you either really love or drop instantly.
It seems like every single Detective centered game is doomed to being either boring or badly written. How is the genre so elusive to the media I thought the genre would be thriving the most?
But TCOTGI and Pentiment are games that really appeal to me, might ge those two
i have the exact same experience; a lot of narrative side scrollers were such a slog for me to plat through i started to think the genre just wasn't my thing. Lacuna was bland, backbone was badly written (mostly 2nd act and onwards), blacksad i had high hopes for, also bland. tales of the neon sea was not too bad, but nothing astonishing.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/304850/Worlds/
if you liked pathologic HD so much you can at least try their follow-up with The Void. It's got time management, definitely a wild card game, and is atmospherically even more brutal than pathologic. The setting is way more abstract and doesn't make as great an elevator pitch as pathologic though.
I bought It this sale but ahve yet to play it when work vacations start next week, looking forward to it.
Based taste, her story isn't much of a game, as it prompts you to choose when you think you solved the mistery and ends there,neat experience overall. West of Loathing and Shadows Over Loathing are two of the 5 games that do humor right, makes me look forward to what my choices will affect and what dialogues im going to read, SOL has decent turn based combat as well.
I have heard a lot of things about signalis, and its up there on my list, but I think I will wait until winter sale, still very interesting.
Golden Idol gets recommended every thread to other anons with similar tastes as well, totally getting that one.
Ive been following shadows of doubt for a quite a while, but then it released in a very unoptimized state for me, so im going to get until it gets out of early access, but seems like a game made for me specifically.
I'm a fan of virtually every game on this list (haven't played Her Story or Shadows over Loathing), and if I were to add one I loved Signalis. Mostly it'd fit in the last row.
>Return of the Obra Dinn
>Her Story
Check out The Curse of the Golden Idol, Keyword: A Spider's Thread, or The Painscreek Killings.
Oh, duh. And Shadows of Doubt. It's in Early Access but is basically feature complete.
Just chiming in, but I bought that when it was released and it ran like absolute shit the moment I stepped outside or in NPC populated areas. I have an i9 and a 3080 so I have no clue what the issue is but had to refund it.
>an i9
An i9 what? That information is useless without the generational SKU.
frick off nerd
A 12900 you pedant. It isn't a hardware issue it's an indie dev issue. I want to play the game but they need to optimize their shit.
How the frick is pedantry? The i9 designation goes back six fricking years and six CPU generations.
Not him but I thought it just came out of ea.
Solid game,solid setup, but frick I'm always shit with stealth. I'm more interested in the detective side of it.
Killer Frequency
Quadrilateral Cowboy
Duskers
Advertcity
PARANORMASIGHT (this game has that time plot thing you’re describing)
G-String
ECHO
The Enigma Machine
Kane and Lynch games
Death Mark (optionally: the “sequel”, NG)
Most of these are detective games but I’m just going off of your descriptions, I hope you find any of these interesting.
NORCO, Spirit Hunter games, EYE, Raging Loop, Manhunt, Lost in Vivo are all solid tbh. I haven’t played Pentiment or Paratopic yet.
World of Horror for replayable role playing urban (urban enough) shenanigans
I'll add these games

He's not gunna post steam playtime. It's one schizophrenic thirdie shilling it.
nah, I saw it shilled a bunch and it happened to be in a bundle with another game i had a passing interest in.
Is it worth getting it on Steam? 13 or so quid
If you're willing to install mods. I'm considering it for muh deck but don't know how well mods work on that.
what mods
60 FPS + non shit audio. Vanilla release kept PS2 compression.
if you want to support the use of denuvo in retro games, sure
I got $40. Which would you recommend?
The entire yakuza remastered collection for 35 bucks? What the frick lmao obviously that.
metal wolf chaos and it's not even close
Is pizza tower that good or overhyped?
It has 30k overwhelmingly positive reviews, what do you think?
overhyped meme shit.
Its good if you like side scrolling platformers.
Its meh if you dont.
Monster Sanctuary any good?
It's a Pokemon Metroidvania with Worms style unit placement.
Not the worst game, but it's kind of weird. At $7 go for it but try the demo first.

Are code vein and scarlet nexus that good? Constantly being shilled on here. Never touched anything JRPG in my life.
idk about Scarlet but Code Vein is shit.
Skarlet Nexus has interesting gameplay, but it got old and there was no story at all to keep your engaged. Code Vein is eh, but slightly better than Skarlet for me.
Thank you both, any JRPGs to recommend that are actually worthwhile? I want to give them a shot and not be a hugbox homosexual like Dunkey. Hard mode: Nothing final fantasy related.
Kiseki series?
Ni no kuni 1&2?
DQXI?
Thank you anon, after looking at these I might try Ni No Kuni 1 first.
Trails, Suikoden, Tactics Ogre, Persona, SMT, Nier, Chrono Trigger, Fire Emblem, Ni No Kuni, Dragon Quest, Tales of Symphonia, Valkyria Chronicles.
While I think Chrono Trigger is really overrated its an excellent babies first jrpg.
The newest dragon quest is a safe bet too.
Tales of Vesperias a solid quintessential JRPG
If you want to go back to older games then Grandia and Suikoden 2. More Grandia than Suikoden because while I think Suikodens better Grandias a better first JRPG.
Personas not a bad JRPG for a first one so long as you understand its LONG as shit going into it.
If you like crafting the first Ryzas a good entry.
Just stay the frick away from Trails games, people will try and push them but you will be fricking miserable.
One more thing anon, how would I go about getting a Grandias port? I see the steam port has an autistically long winded argument against buying it and I seek to live the original experience, not a cheap cashgrab.
Issues with PC Grandia are
>Softening filter making everything look slightly worse
>Fricked up skybox
Most of the complaints were bugs which were fixed and zoomer journalists screaming about no speed up mode, cheat mode, or save states.
Honestly unless you are going to emulate the sega saturn version its better than the playstation version.
Skipping over action-based combat...
AAA: FF9, emulate anything before 7. NIS games but you can emulate them. Octopath (2>1). Persona/SMT series. Chrono Trigger is better emulated. Romancing SaGa 3 (emulation or pc is fine).
Indie: LiEat, Bug Fables, Nusakana, ... can't remember anything else off the top of my head that are on sale and good. Earthlock maybe?
Thank you once again for the selections, I think I will try out the Nier series, then Valkyria series, and possibly a Trails game despite warning. I am a patient person and love challenging and grindy games, but specifically if the grind is somewhat fun and the benefits are great. People have been shitting on Nier's story as far as I can remember so I will play that one first. Any more suggestions will be nice and I will add them to my wishlist.
Nier Automata + the dlc that adds a few areas is $25. Get it OR Replicant. I can't suggest both at the same time.
Surprised you're not getting Valkyria + 4.
>Trails game
Just emulate them. They never go on a decent sale and if you're lucky they'll appear in a bundle.
Im pretty sure the game of the YorHA edition contains the DLC as well anon, but looks like I will be getting Replicant because I really like Kaine's design.
I want her INSIDE me.
>Nier
People shit on Nier but it's a wild ride all the way through. I love the stories but even if I didn't the gameplay is more than enough.
>Valkyria
Pretty good though much more strategy esque like Xcom.
>Trails
Sky and Crossbell can be challenging and grindy but only play these if you enjoy novel size VNs. It's one of those games where the slower you take it the bigger the payoff. Except the Coldsteel games they're just fun flashy gameplay and shit story.
This is the final selection, object now or forever hold your peace. I will emulate the Gradia and Trail games on my own time, and the Valkyria games look awesome, I need more military girl rpgs in my life.

If you're gonna emulate, why not just pirate everything?
I want to level up my steam profile.
does that actually DO anything?
I've been on Steam for 10 years.
I'm level 10
No its purely cosmetic and allows you to have more cosmetic options on your profile. I like creating theme'd profiles with steam points and also uploading artwork to mix with it. Its pretty autistic but I enjoy it. I have a Aizen, a Bejita, Revolver Ocelot, Big Boss, and a Neo steam profile preset.
higher levels do things like expanding the amount of people you can have on friends list or like other other guy said, adding more showcases to your profile, or slightly increasing your chance of getting booster pack drops
Pirate Yakuza 0 before you get the collection.
All the yakuza games are filled with a bunch of minigames and side content that can get very tedious to 100%
Also try sleeping dogs if you want something a little more fast paced than the yakuza games.
Nier replicant is fricking awesome.
If you enjoyed 0, sure.
But also they are all up on gog if you want them for free.
It's still in early access. I pirated it. It was decent. I would wait for the full game.
Scarlet is okay. Not amazing. Fun in its on way but kinda fricky and weird. I got the game in a bundle so it was worth that way.
The dlc is better off getting the one "ultimate season pass" but it never goes lower than $20 so $25 for "Scarlet Ultimate" is actually pretty good.
Toss out Code Vein and Crash Bandicoot. If you get Scarlet Nexus, get the "Ultimate" version since it is $10 for all the extra content dlc.
Otherwise I'd suggest getting something else.
Havent played code vein but scarlet nexus is aggressively meh.
Take away the split MC and tighten the party up and it would have made for a way better game.
As it stands you are mostly bored and lightly confused
Scarlet Nexus is pretty good; not amazing but good enough.
Code Vein is dogshit; easily one of the worst games released during the past ten yers
crash by far, I would not buy those other games under any circumstance
Platformer for men or baby weeb shit.
>furhomosexual thinks he's a real man
kek'd
Scarlet nexus is more fun imo. Didn't really like code vein.
Crash.
I just bought ac odyssey with all dlc for 24$ looking for something to sink time into until starfield comes out
I've been lead to believe that Senran Kagura games are like 80% fanservice and 20% gameplay.
If that is correct, which one(s) are the best when it comes to gameplay? I know some of them are spinoffs and belong to different genres, I am open to anything really.
none of them have good gameplay
They are unfortunately a lot of reading, practically half vn. If you're gonna just get one, estival versus has the largest cast of characters. The gameplay parts are basically a musou.
Thanks for the answer friend, that's the one I was eyeing actually. I've seen gameplay videos of that and to my surprise, the combat looks like it has some weight to it.
Which ones have you played?
They told you wrong.
Burst re:Newal and Shinovi Versus are excellent gameplay-wise; easily some of the best action games released during the PS4 era and very underrated games due to the breasts and panties making people believe they're shallow.
Estival Versus is a massive downgrade but still serviceable.
Thanks for the input m8, I'll look into those as well. I am looking at the store page and I see Haruka is in Shinovi Versus, is she in Burst re:Newal as well? I like Haruka
Yes, she's playable on both.
She's basically a summoner like DMC5's V but unlike him she's actually well designed and enjoyable to play.
>She's basically a summoner like DMC5's V
Oh, neat.
Thanks again for the answer, I am now looking at the differences between the two to see which one I'll try first.
Bought Dust an Elysian Tale for 3 bongs.
Shame we never got a sequel, it's up there with Fuga being good furshit.
Is Warno good right now?
is this fun solo?
it seems like there's been a niche cult playing this game nonstop
I am going to get Rabi-Ribi this sale.
Which of the DLCs (if any) are worth getting too?
Here. It'll be cheaper than getting either of the content bundles too.
Thanks m8
Games that are long and strictly singleplayer? Any genre works.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Is Outlast any good?

looking for comfy/chill games. any recommendations?
Stardew is the big one.

Don't play the comfy games, just know the two comfy game lovers I know mostly just play that and Animal Crossing.
thats okay. i appreciate the effort you put in
Demo was decent, does the ret of the game hold up

have more money than i ever had in my whole life and i just dont give a frick about any of these games. i buyed neon whhite last year and never played it. i like fast shooters. boltgun was ugly and clunky. last new game i got was deeprock and its all i play now. help me.
i know the feeling. im sitting on 40k of money saved up to spend on whatever, and i just dont have much i care to buy. i bought some stuff in the sale just because im slightly curious about trying it, but my haul is a lot less than it was 5 or 10 years ago.
>i buyed neon whhite last year and never played it.
you should probably play it right now.
>last new game i got was deeprock and its all i play now
nevermind you're an actual moron
Give Neon White a try, I bought it last week and it's basically all I've played since.
Tunic was great. Probably gonna be downhill from here.
infra is much better than tunic, i have no idea how you were dumb enough to buy dyeus. thats basically a mobile game. toki tori is pretty good and better than tunic too imo
Any cool games about dealing with the quiet hellscape that is the Artic?
Frostpunk, but I've never played it, heard only good things about it.
Cryostasis is eurojank, and even today is a gpu killer. Mostly because of previously mentioned eurojank. the story goes off the rails in the last boss fight though.
The Thing?
I thought it took place in the Antartic?
Same shit
One has penguins and nothing but ice, the other has polar bears, gravel deserts and a lot of islands with frozen seas inbetween.
theres a game that came out recently by the infamous WoW clickbait news youtuber bellular
aside from that no clue
little b***h tell me what game this is you gay
wow, rude
You dumb c**t.
anon an artic exploration management game sounds fun, could you please tell me what it's called?
oh i thought it was in the filename
the pale beyond
Game is "The Pale Beyond". It looks just like what I was looking for, thanks anons.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Should've fell for the better meme.
thoughts?
ni no kuni 2 is legit bad and you wont finish it. killer 7 is bad but its a quirky auteuristic game that really annoying gays like, so just play it.
why is ni no kuni bad? the city building stuff seemed fun
the combat is bad and you'll be doing A LOT of fetch quests, kingdom building is not even remotely fun.
Is potionomics good?
pizza tower is pretty fun so far, in a for the win bacon kind of way
Thoughts on these? I think I want to keep it under $100.
you deserve to waste $140 on that
I don't want to spend over $100 as I said.
I really enjoyed 1.
Darkest Dungeon is a big filter game, if you didn't enjoy 1 you won't come close to enjoying 2.
Bro, all these discount are low as frick. Are you really going to play all of them before the next sale? MYM seems to be a dead cashgrab, read steam reviews to get more insight.
Master of Magic is trash, play the original plus Caster of Magic and be done with it. Pirate it if you must. Darkest Dungeon 2 is terrible and that's why they took epic money. Front Mission is the only one on the list I would consider.
agree with
. did you check a key site like g2a?
> MEET YOUR MAKER
it's a shitty game
Which one?
>le heckin wholesome chungus reeves game
vs
>soulful PC gaming that is a blast to play especially with such a great community
I dunno anon.
Neither.
Any games like the ship or deceive inc? Preferably that aren't dead or at least have offline with bots similar to the ship
little indie gem called among us
Among us is nothing like either of those I'm asking for something like the ship/deceive inc which are a bit more action focused. Not Salem or ss13 likes.
Only thing I can think of that's not dead is TTT in Garry's Mod, which is probably an obvious one
Whoever suggested Paranormasight to me the other day is a G. Highly recommend for fans of horror VN/adventure games
I'm a fan of cute girls with short haircuts, is she the main character?
No, sadly. Lots of 80s haircuts and styles though
Is Freedom Planet 2 good? Bought 1 because Sonic gay but I couldn't get into it.
How is it?
Is Dredge good?
Played it and adored it up until the last area which was kinda boring and more of the same. Also the ending was a massive letdown.
Do the Halo games run well on a steam deck? $10 is an amazing deal
https://www.protondb.com/app/976730
Mostly playable.
I guess I'm going to settle for this, there are a few games I would like to add but they are mixed on reception but mostly I can't spend that much money right now.
>gal gun
>hat in time
have a nice day troony.
No opinion on GalGun.
Wait for Crystar to go lower.
Wait for Ys7 to go lower.
Hat in Time is okay at that price.
Never played Fatal Frame.
I'd toss them all out and get something else but that's me.
Crystar won't go lower. Shit's been that price for years.
>gal gun
>hat in time
Live, chad.
hat in time is p good, not perfect and kinda unfocused but still enjoyable

GalGun and A hat in time are fun

Any good puzzle games? I really like meteos for DS, and stuff like puzzle quest
Baba is You.
Should I buy King's Bounty II for $10
I bought Against the Storm but I'm really not feeling it. What do I buy with the refund money aside from Opus Magnum?
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Yakuza bundle. I've only played 0 so far but I really enjoyed it. Is the bundle always this price or is it actually part of the sale?
You can get yakuza 4 on humble right now.
Doesn't matter. Yakuza games go cheap all the time. Buy whichever one you want to buy next at like 1 dollar, then if you want to play another, buy one more. Buying shit like this you'll just burn out on is how you get a 500 game backlog yet not want to play anything
only yakuza games worth playing are 0, 7 and both judgment games, don't bother with the rest
nta but
>Yakuza 7
You mean Like a Dragon? None of the dlc look worth it, so that makes it $15.
>Judgement
You mean these?
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26688/The_Judgment_Collection/
That's $70 right now.
>You mean Like a Dragon?
yes
>None of the dlc look worth it, so that makes it $15.
yeah none of the dlc are worth it, not even the extra classes
>You mean these?
yes those ones but lost judgment is a bit expensive since it came out in 2021, and the dlc for it is completely overpriced
MINI HEALER
How is it? It's still in early access but I'm real curious about it.
tomb raider and the guardian of light: yay or nay?
I once again ask for games in which I can fight alongside pets like RUne Factory
7th time is the charm
Dont post that pic and we talk Black person furry
Anyone played picture related?
Yes, it’s pretty good and interesting but uh I don’t really feel like playing it again.
So it's boring? People say the gameplay loop gets repetitive.
I mean, it’s a roguelike it’s eventually gonna get repetitive, I was more so annoyed with the items and their effects, if you’ve ever played Let It Die it’s a lot like that, you have to spend some time memorizing what they do so you don’t accidentally light yourself on fire. The game doesn’t tell you anything aside from the cryptic messages either. If you like the sound of that it’ll keep you interested for a while. I think it has a demo or the dev finally finished that free side-game so maybe check that out first if it’s to your taste
I can't get past the first elevator in the demo that's why I'm asking. I don't mind repetition unless it's tedious or annoying.
I've read that the later levels are really big mazes and you have to find keys while dodging unkillable or endlessly respawning enemies. That sounds kinda annoying rather than fun.
Yeah I never got that far and that does sound annoying. It’s a LOT of resource management, so I can only imagine going around the level with your limited-use weapons and the hide and seek gameplay. It’s an understandable skip.
Im putting in what state I live in right now for a steam account I just made. Is it possible to dodge sales tax altogether by putting in a state that has none like Delaware?
Any recommendarion for racing games? Sorta want to try some after stumbling upon pic related.
After multiple attempts of buying a sub $5 horror game (The Coma/2 and Knock-knock) and they all being buggy pieces of shit that don't work which I refunded give up.
Is Dead Cells any good? I normally don't frick with roguelikeshit but this looks like the gameplay might actually be fun. I don't give a shit about incremental value runs if the game itself isn't fun, and if bad rng doom runs are a large factor like Noita I'm not sure if I should bother.
dead cells is pretty good, definitely in the upper tier of roguelites. you can rely on RNG to get really good enchantments and breeze through it but it's very possible to beat the game with anything.
what's the easiest way to have sex these days?
Prostitution. There is a summer sale going on so you could possibly get a discount.

Being a woman.

Yes, I know, being a bottom gay is the next best option.
aren't most bottomgays desperate as frick?

I got Monster Hunter: World for $15
good choice
dont use the defender gear
when you feel ready to move on from the base game you can use creamapi and unlock iceborne and all the shitty cosmetic charms that capcom wanted you to pay 3 dollars each for
actually you should use it right away to unlock the handler's cute costumes which dont require iceborne
Any recommendations if I really enjoy space 4X? I've spent thousands of total hours between Stellaris and SW:EAW and now I'm craving even more. Please help me.

How are the steam ports for the old FF games?
Do not.
The Pixel Remasters are very good but horrendously expensive. Hoenstly you should just pirate them since Squeenix generally doesn't do deep discounts
I'm actually deeply disappointed in VI. Everything is much brighter and the sprites seem to have less detail than the SNES counterparts. The redone music is fine.
How's my cart looking, Ganker?
Is 25th Ward worth playing if I haven't yet played the Silver Case?
>Xeodrifter
There's better Metroid clones.
>Silver Case
Suda's fricking wild but this one is a bit much in a wrong way.
>Phantom Brave
I like ZHP more but the cast in both games are fricking stupid.
Also you can emulate this easy.
>Killer is dead
Crashes. Also it's Suda.
>Left4dead
Just get the Valve pack.
>Rose in the Twilght
Not one of NIS's games I'd recommend but at least it ain't a grindfest.
>Fez
dev's a dickhead but the fanbase was greedy shits. Game's alright but nothing amazing.
>Milk
Why?
>Titan Souls
I recommend trying the gamejam version first. Either versions are a bit clunky but it's like someone tried to recreate Shadow of the Colossus in LTTP's engine.
>Pyre
I recommend any game BUT that by the devs. Pyre's the weakest but it's not exactly terrible. Just stupid.
>Inversion
Never heard of it.
>Is 25th Ward worth playing if I haven't yet played the Silver Case?
anon, it's a sequel to a story-heavy game. So you tell me if it's a good idea.
Also, TSC is superior (25th war is good but never reaches TSC's peaks) in every way except the stupid puzzles (feel free to use a walkthrough for them, they're just time wasters).
I wanted shovel knight but it's not even on sale
b***h it's $20.
>but ts only 50% off
Including the dlc. As they came out you would've shelled out about $100 for everything in pieces.
While yes it should be lower, $20 is dirt cheap compared to release prices.
That's for the complete collection which comes with 5 games. I only want the main game which is normally $15 and it's not on sale.
Guess what's not on the store!
The main game.
So either you'll be paying $5 extra for the spinoffs and standalone character dlc in the game properly, or you'll have to find a key reseller who has the original game. Which might instead be for the full version.
I'm talking about shovel knight: shovel of hope. It's on the store
alright i think im done with this sale.
my damage is 13775 ars or 53 usd, all things considered pretty good.
here's my usual argie account tutorial for anyone interested:
1. go to plati.market and buy a fresh account set to argentina region (cheaper than buying a vpn just for making the account, but if you have one already you can just make it on youur own i think) (https://plati.market/itm/steam-account-kazakhstan-turkey-argentina-india-us/3565651)
2. buy an argentinian wallet card equilavent to 5 usd to get rid of the limited status on your account (used to be 300 ars when i first made the account but inflation's quirky, was 500 when i last checked) cards are so expensive because steam stopped producing them 2 years ago, so if you dont get one now it'll keep increasing in price.
3. go to some 3rd party steam item market (i use dmarket because it's the cheapest) buy some tf2 keys and withdraw them to your account and sell them on the community market
4. buy games
never EVER use any payment methods or you'll get reverted to your real region.
have fun anons.
who asked
Sale's ending in a few days, tell me what games you already finished and rate them.
SoP
6/10
Extremely linear action game where the solution to any puzzle is 'interact with the only thing you can in this room or the one next to it', the story spoils itself in everything except the actual cutscenes (random orbs, loading screens both say more) and combat is absolutely braindead as I just sort of run right at the enemies, mash X until they die or stop being hitstunned, at which point I press Y instead and they get hitstunned. Weapons largely feel identical because they all have the same combo routes and all that really matters is 'can I get my Y out before they hit me' or 'does this give more mp than it uses with Samurai'
I'm genuinely impressed with how bad this game is.
Bladed Fury: 4/10
Very small movepool, very simple mechanics, kind of lost me when it introduced enemies whos attacks can't be parried who spam the screen with aoe projectiles but its so easy it barely mattered
I also got Spark but that game was too shit to even finish.
ai the somnium files : 4/10, had its moments but the story was moronic and the humor was obnoxious and unfunny and repetitive
death's gambit afterlife : 5/10, very generic 2d souls clone
snake pass 8/10
its banjo kazooie but you are a snake
bat boy 8/10
its a standard 2D indie platformer with some pretty sick abilities
i did not buy anything else
It's at its strongest if you play survival mode and enjoy the base building.

>SimsCity 4
Anon, toss it.
Not sure on Wreck or Rainbow Six 3, but Terraria is good if a bit clunky in terms of the gui.
Nier Automata is good.
Slay the Spire has been in bundles.
So has desperados 3.
Chicory is a color book with an action-adventure setup.
Pony Island is fine, Hex is stupid, never played Inscryption so not sure on it.
What the frick is Northern Journey?
Never played Railbound so no comment.
I might be mixing it up with a similar game but I remember Tunic being clunky as frick. Also it's been in a bundle.
Yakuza dragon... I'd say get 0 first but the series is part of a weird bundle deal instead of being directly on sale. But don't get the dlc if you do get this one.
>Anon, toss it.
Thanks for the feedback, but I gotta ask why, the game looks pretty solid and I got bored of cities skylines
thoughts?
it's over.
I really hope those are mostly family-shared games
games for reigniting a persons inner spark and realearning to appreciate life?

Why would you have a meeting at an arena?
I need help please. Roast the shit out of these games so I can drop the total a few hundred.
All homosexualry except for GTA4 and Alice. What shit taste
that's $12 shaved off thank you.
Drop literally everything but GTA4 and Alice and get some fricking taste.
Soulstice is $3.33 on a fanatical bundle currently.
yeah I'm looking at that bundle. Soulstice, Garden Story, not sure what to get for 3rd slot.
Going Under is also a common bundle/mystery key so I probably won't buy it but instead try to trade for it.
Soulstice is pretty shit; not worth the $3.33
It's a worse DmC, if that's even possible.
and your opinion on the rest of the cart?
Asterigos is mediocre; another shitty Souls clone devoid of identity (even when the Greek-like setting is kind of neat).
Stranger of Paradise is a way worse Nioh; basically all the bad parts of Nioh turned up to eleven. Basically a game people recommend due to memes alone.
Those and Soulstice are the only games I advise against; the rest are pretty decent or I haven't played them.
dont get the moronic rick and morty fps game, jesus christ
why not? I heard it was decent
there you go dawg
shit taste
its not thoughie
helpful thanks however the monogatari replies worry me because I know that anime series is awful so terrible opinion might infect video game recommendations.
helpful. Many people here hate soulstice and this explanation is convincing, dropped.
Senran Kagura I've decided to drop based on the other conversation itt.
Mortal Shell sucks, drop it. Enemies aren't aggresive enough for the core mechanic (taking free hits on a cooldown, essentially) to actually be fun. It just makes it a very easy game.
Soulstice is in a bundle on Fanatical and isn't very good. Its Donte May Cry's color-coding system but worse and even when you hit the enemies with the right color like half the games enemies will often or always simply not take any hitstun anyways. Extremely unsatisfying. Its a shame. Its a cool world with some cool powers, but the combat is just not good.
Drop Senran Kagura. Port of a handheld series and feels like it. Characters have tiny movesets and you can barely enjoy what little they have before it throws you into boss fights which just boil down to repeatedly doing combo>launcher>chase over and over again until they die
Drop Spark, its just bad. In basically every way.
Citadel is in a bundle on fanatical.
Drop Icey. Extremely mediocre combat where the best way to win is to just dump all your cash into maxing one move then spam it ignoring anything else, janky controls with multiple actions tied to one input, tries to do 'le quirky narrtor' and multiple paths ala Stanley but the only path worth seeign is the one where the dev cries about his shit game not selling well because the writing that's not breaking the 4th wall is really fricking bad
Alice is apparently a bad port
Minoria goes in bundles often and its on sale all the time just get it later
Drop SoP, that's just mash X or mash Y: the game, with mediocre combat everything outside of combat feeling legitimately unfinished
>tfw never saw most of these because actually good at games
The one or two I did see felt jarring. Its not a lewd game at all outside of this. Not too sure why they felt the need to make the deaths go so against the rest of the tone
keep
>gta 4
drop
>everything else
Gta is shit too. Muh button mash to run bullshit
wanna get some more shit, but this is all i've got so far. maybe some old school shooters
I have a few bux in my wallet and can’t decide between Sleeping Dogs or Gothic 2. I know they are widely different but which is better and offers more value?
Neither are good at all but gothic 2 is better. You need to play gothic 1 before 2, it reuses characters from the first game.
sleeping dogs has a better story but you can just watch it on youtube
So i know the rimworld dlcs are hardly on sale. Ive been meaning to do another playthrough of it. Are the 3 dlcs worth grabbing, do they add anything meaningful to be worth what they are?
please recommend me a game if my favs are rimworld, slay the spire, ftl: faster than light, project zomboid, hotline miami, nuclear throne, etc
What's a good and cheap JRPG to play on the steam ACK?
someone?
Epic Battle Fantasy 3
Brave Hero Yuusha, Soma Spirits, Soma Union, Astra Hunter Zosma
Every single one of those sounds like shit. Just emulate some classics you haven't played if you must keep it cheap, don't subject yourself to shit
Epic Battle Fantasy 3 part of a flashgame series.
The rest are indie games whose dev dropped the prices on (not counting the dead Crescent Prism).
They're all free and better than the majority of free jrpgs on Steam.
Still can't make up my mind. Only 1 or save and hope dd2 is good. Been leaning toward Persona since literally no one recommends ff7r.
ff7r is just tunnels and cutscenes
persona just cutscenes and dungeons
if i had to choose one its persona though, i really hated the remake
>ff7r is just tunnels and cutscenes
So it's ff13 all over again?
Guess it has to be Persona then.
P5R is a full game, FF7R is a single game split into 3, you'll get your money's worth if you play P5R from start to finish.
Between them, Persona 5 Royal.
Don't listen to those weebs. Final Fantasy 7 R has one of the most fun combat in recent years.
i love darkest dungeon 1 as one should
why is 2 rated so badly? still worth buying?
>find out noita has no meta progression system
>game refunded
Sorry gotta be more casual than that for me senpai
im in the mood for some good MP slop, should I get hunt showdown or SQUAD? I like both milsim and stalker.
Battlebit is surprisingly decent and may entertain you far more than either of those. Hunt Showdown has soft cheats (graphics changing reshaders) that are heavily abused. Squad is FILLED with the worst type of wannabe military inbreds I have ever witnessed.
Hunt Showdown is good, I play it on the Steam Deck just as-is. I don’t know if I’m just good or what but I mostly destroy it on random trios. As long as you stay in servers you understand the speaking language in you’ll do fine in comms.
How is octopath traveler 1?
Play the second one, skip to 2 unless you have already played it and want to go back
not him but any tips for octopat 2
none.
There's a dude on YouTube talking about class builds for each character, watch that if you don't mind class spoilers. That's pretty much it, you'll learn as you go otherwise. The swordsman guy is a good starter, as is the huntress, but the real based characters are partitio and the wizard. I can't remember their names 2 months later now lmao but I chose partitio
cool
I already have it, just never had time to play it
If you want to break the dmg limit asap then start with Hikari.
Set aside 100k to buy a ship
Jobs can later be equipped by any party member so don't stress
If you plan to use hired helpers like foreign assassins with Partitio, recruit a npc with a merchant skill that lowers/refunds the cost to use them to save money
Agnea's latent power can apply some important single target buffs, partywide
Throne's latent power can act twice in a single turn
You can make any character good in the late game. What ends up separating them is their unique abilities
Funny thing: it's cheaper to get Octopath 2 + various daylife than to get Octopath 2.
That said, in addition to the demo there's a cracked version of Octopath 2.
>it's cheaper to get Octopath 2 + various daylife than to get Octopath 2.
oh shit i didn't realise.
It's not a significan drop but it is a funny fact.
I want cozy obscure point and clicks. The older the better.
Only things I can think of this second are the scifi games by Wadjet Eye, Whispers of a Machine, tht Sierra-ish game The Way, and LucasArt stuff.

Not old or that obscure but it's cozy
Any games similar to Days Gone? I bought Dying Light but feel dizzy after playing for a couple minutes.
Pizza Tower is fricking awful and I'm sick of pretending it isn't.
Buy Garlic instead.
I want to thank whichever anon brought Blade of Darkness to my attention. The controls are jank as frick (both the original and the 'new' ones), but man I'm enjoying cutting enemies' limbs off and jumping around like a moron to move about the place faster.
Not pictured: Knights of the Old Republic 2

How the frick does Hat in Time run so fricking poorly
My PC can comfortably handle games like Metro Exodus and Devil May Cry 5, but Hat in Time makes my CPU go fricking nuts
