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.

Brother got me buckshot roulette if that counts

I have too much of a backlog of games i haven't played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.

[–] gac11@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that

Nothing. Hoarding resources for the apocalypse.

The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that's never gonna go on sale. I'll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren't inclined to spread the addiction.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can only recommend it. After about 60 hours I finally landed on vulcanus and I'm now experiencing the feeling of how it is to getting used to all of these long and complex Ressource chains.

[–] Socket462@feddit.it 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After 60 hours I finally left Gleba. As soon as I got "home" had to head back to Gleba. Still stuck there. In the beginning I hate Gleba, now I love it. It gave me back the feeling of playing Factorio for the first time, running around and know nothing (and I I have over 3.5k hours). 10/10 would recommend the DLC.

After 200 hours I have a "factory" on Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. I need to redesign all four factories, including Nauvis, at this point to use Foundries, and Electromagnetic Plants at scale, oh and Biological Science Labs. I have finally started learning circuit networks and train scheduling.

I had over 3000 hours in the game previously, got all the achievements that didn't require a time limit, and had beaten Pyanodon, SeaBlock, Bob's and Angel's overhaul, and several other overhaul mods that I don't remember, but I never managed to fully finish Space Exploration because of randomly generated items, and a complete inability to comprehend how the old circuit network worked.

Space Age is absolutely the best of all the overhaul mods combined into one single expansion pack. I cannot wait to get to the Shattered Planet and find out what no one has shown yet. I'll be weeks behind them when I get there, I'm sure

You're in for a treat! I picked it up at launch and loved every second of it. Heat Signature was pretty fun, but the writing and level design in Breach Wizards was just all around top notch.

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm actually here to just find out where i can get my own demi-dog..?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The blue demi-human vendor in Marbule. Not the guy at the entrance, the one you want is closer to the tavern, in an alleyway. Ignore the dog fighting arenas in the area. You aren't high enough level to take on the entirety of The Mob at one time.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, shit, there's a sale?

https://store.steampowered.com/

Hmmm... old games I already own, games I won't bother downloading...

Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn't bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount...

Space Marine II came out only a few months ago, expect a deeper discount mid '25.

[–] UnPassive@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well

I'm really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.

[–] Dezzorian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thank you for the heads up, been wanting to play this for quite a while. Absolutely loved the first game.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I got it full price and it was worth it

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Do yourself a favor and do it. It's honestly an actual masterpiece of gaming imo.

[–] nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.

All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.

Might as well grab it before gone.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I bought this last time it was on sale, and while the game is fun I have a word of warning for people looking to buy this to play with friends: The online is NOT stable!

It often hangs while connecting to a race and waits for the server upwards of multiple minutes. That's bad since a race itself can be a minute or two long. Also, you can't race against each other with AI cars, the options are either playing co-op which is piss easy or face each other alone. Races are just a bit lonely with 2 or 3 players.

Multiplayer aside, Forza is a really fun time, I just wouldn't buy it if you're mainly looking to play with friends.

Also, if it gets delisted, you will be unable to play single player or multiplayer. I found this out the hard way with Forza Motorsport 7 and Gran Turismo Sport.

I have the physical DVDs or BluRay disks for both games. Neither will work even for single player because you have to download the tracks from the server every single race. No server means no tracks.

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

[–] bread@feddit.nl 10 points 2 days ago

FF7 Remake. I tried a "demo" and have been waiting for a sale. It's still more than I'd like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.

[–] DuckWrangler9000@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I really wanted to try Starfield but can't justify the price. Like I want to buy it, but I also don't have that kind of money to spend. Might start asking around my local friends to see if any of them have it so I can library share with them

They're on no traffic lights, crossing points, or bicycles in that image.

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.

I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it's very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I'm eager to play the sequel.

Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
  • Shadow Gambit DLC
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
  • AI2 Nirvana Initiative
  • Unicorn Overlord
  • Mario&Luigi Brothership
  • Against The Storm

... and actually a bunch more I can't even recall right now...

Man I'm the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I'm tired an just wanna read a book.

I've only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I've got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don't have time to play them.

I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There's just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we're lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I got, for $40.86:

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

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

Haven't bought yet but I'm thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia

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.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Grotto!!

$1.29 for an absolute gem of a game. Totally recommend! Works great on my steam deck and ps4 controller

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got Grotto based on your suggestion. Played it a bit yesterday. Interesting game! I've definitely gotten my $1.29 out of it already.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it
