I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.

I will probably buy Horizon Forbidden West for my son. Told him to wait until it is discounted. But 40 € is still very much the full price of many other games. And we already bought all the Christmas presents this year. Decisions decisions.

At least I've still got a few more days to decide.

FYI, it's 35€ on green man gaming right now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Not sure what the price is in Euros, but it's also %41 off on Fanatical.

Nothing yet, maybe the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC. Otherwise probably nothing and wait for the Winter Sale.

Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

P5 is sooo good.

If you like P4, you should be in a good spot. Just note its style is like P4 got struck by lightning when drinking Mountain Dew Code Red.

And then, get P3 Reload when it drops in price. My favorite Persona, given a significant glow up.

Im probably only going to get few newer DLCs for American Truck Simulator. Their price finally dropped to -50%

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Let me know when they're 75% off. I have have a hard limit of $60 when it comes to spending money on games. It used to be $50 but those days are gone.

Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it's a game that makes me angry.

I bought a bike helmet.

Oh, you meant on steam? Luckily my rig is still out of commission, so nothing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Just bought Riven, I'm liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it's a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

The DLC for Dark Souls 3.

Decided to give it another try after picking it up in 2017 and hating it, and for whatever reason, I like it now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I got, for $40.86:

Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis

I loved FC5. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap because they make the same game over and over but there's a reason they started doing that. Good characters, and the pacing is pretty solid unless you're a completions (which is your own fault). There's some weird mechanics that progress the story that kind of break immersion that they chose because of the open world setting, but it's a solid game. Enjoy!

If you like it, "new dawn" is pretty OK. Wait for it to be cheap, it's basically really meaty DLC.

I impulse-buyed Atlyss. Never heard of it before.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

IronPineapple played through the demo of that one for a video a couple months ago. It seemed like an interesting game that was a mix of singleplayer and MMO elements. At first glance it'll look like a gooner game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫

I love Oxygen. It’s such a fun game. I can spend hours on just one save

The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose...

I bought "Inside". Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I'm really loving it so far
