No, not again, I didn't have time to play all the stuff I bought on last one...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

So grows the backlog.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

But you'll get around to them at some point, and it's a good deal so if you buy it later it might cost more. No it's fine you definitely won't get distracted by another game and will start it after the one you are playing just now.

I don't know what you mean "I've had that unplayed game for 17 years," I'm going to play it next, (after this one I'm about to buy.)

Hope no one minds me asking here, but does anyone have any suggestion for games on sale that a 13 year old boy might like? Need a cool uncle gift for the nephew

Edit: thank y'all for the replies!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any hints what kind of games they're into? Racing, sports, shooters? My nephew mostly plays fortnite, he's easy and happy with vbucks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Honestly? Not really. I haven't seen them in about 4 years, and the last I really checked in one was super into reading fantasy novels and the other one like Lego. Lol. They're family friends, not children of siblings.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Teardown might be a good one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Here are some cool/memorable games:

  • Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
  • Return of the Obra Dinn
  • Braid

Deadcells is one I enjoyed and my brother enjoyed. Lots of content and very fun.

Satisfactory. If they like Minecraft they'll like this

The prices aren't impressing me, then again, they really hadn't impressed me for 5 years in a row now. They're exactly the same as I've seen them in other sales, except the other sales mark them down slightly lower.

Granted, I've acquired nearly every game I've personally been scouting for so the thrill is mostly gone. I'd only be spending just to spend on things I don't quite need and not want.

Steam sales 10 years ago were a thing of myth and majesty.

I've noticed this too with Steam. Sales aren't nearly as good (also, didn't we just have one?!?) and "release dates" on decade-old games can be listed as say, two years if there was an update or a slight change

Dunno if it's Steam themselves or others 'gaming' the system, apologies for the pun

I think I'm going to get the base Grim Dawn. A complete package might drop eventually for a good price though, so I'm undecided.

A shame Paradox games are DLC/subscription farms. It just ain't worth getting invested.

Overall still, I'll probably browse in hesitation and buy nothing in the end.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you like ARPGs I'd recommend checking out Last Epoch, I found the customization and skill trees much more satisfying than Grim Dawn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

checks price ... Perhaps.

Grim Dawn is a no brainer at $2.50.

The base game is great, expansions are often on sale, and there’s another coming next year

Are you ready for a miracle?!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is such a steal at this price.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

I want it so much but

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, it runs on the steam deck, but it requires always online drm, so what's the point

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Screw that, I won't buy it then.

Checks Steam -- Already in my library

Dammit.

Oh. Hard pass then =/

Edit: Thanks for the info.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Each to their own, doesn't bother me. I like the games way too much to care.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ooo, it’s all three main games and all DLC…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah! Amazing package for the price.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Any recommended indie strategy, tower defense, or rogelikes you enjoyed? I recently enjoyed kobold core and peglin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Rogue legacy 1 and 2 are great roguelikes.

20XX and 30XX are great Megaman clones that are roguelikes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Rogue tower is another great game with rogue in its name.

Fantastic tower defense.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really enjoyed Heretic’s Fork

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Heretic’s Fork

wild music!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)
