Thread 713320710

ready for the steam summer sale?
all those delicious 10-20% discounts
looking at old games you already got and new games you won't play for another couple of years

I'll wait for the Epic Summer Sale like anyone with a brain has been doing for the last few years or so.

im getting armored core

>>713320904
i loved it. hope you enjoy it

>>713320873
So based sis me to-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

>>713320710 (OP)
ill probably just go for steem deck
and maybe something on gog like intravenous 2 and blood

There are literally no interesting games to buy
t.300+ gmaes

>>713320710 (OP)
I blew the remainder of my budget this year on Switch 2 and some CiB retro games from a new store that opened up next to the weinerschnitzel and harbor freight, so I'm probably not buying anything this time around.

>>713322002
>300
you've played next to nothing

>>713322158
ehh it happens
for me its similar thing
steam sales coming so i want the deck but also
>friend is over so taking him to the shooting range(expense)
>need to buy suspension parts for project car(expense)
>need to go to a dentist(expense)
>need to pay cousin for pc parts(expense)

>>713320710 (OP)
not many games seem to go on particularly good sales that hadn't already gone on a good sale before. Makes it all kind of uninteresting

>>713322002
lmfao, kekroflmfao even

>>713323158
stop buying random game bundles, anon. im begging you

>>713323158
in the end this is just hoarding
I bet you played trough/completed no more than 15% of all games

getting ready to shill rain world in the steam sale threads
don't even look at the steam page for it, by the way. spoils it while making it look like worthless trash

Post wishlists
lets see what your tastes are and lets see if your game of choice will go on sale

>>713325172
I would never post my wishlist because I add any game that looks even mildly interesting so some of the games on there were added as long ago as 2016 and I'll never buy them all cuz it'd be too much money.

>>713320710 (OP)
kinda interested in the japanese auteur kind of video games.
So probably Slitterhead or Shadows of the Damned.
Are both of these good games to get?

games are only worth buying on consoles
there's no reason to not pirate pc games unless they're online

>>713325172
here you do dataminer
i do need to purge my wishlist a bit though

first 10 or so games are in order of importance for me but rest are randomly thrown together

>tfw 300 games on my wishlist
how do I stop adding anything that looks remotely interesting HELP

There are actually a couple of games I'd like to pick up this year, so for the first time in a long while I'm looking forward to the sale.

>>713323158
you must be one of these people who buys charity bundles with hundreds of games where there might be like 3 titles somewhat decent and everything else is woke shovelware

>>713325768
I used to do that and I thought my library was bloated with only 800+ games.

>>713325172
it wont fit in a screenshot

>>713325582
thanks for the list, seeing your list i saw G-String and realized i was interested in that game too but forgot to wishlist it. Hopefully it goes on sale

>>713325898
Anon, at least put in games that are already out so that maybe it can actually get a sale discount

>>713325962
I mean a general top 10 is fine enough

>>713325768
>Fanatical
I bought one of those "Mystery Keys Egg Bundles" with 25 keys and legitimately the only game in it I'd consider playing is Garfield Kart Furious Racing. Not worth.

I'm not buying anything. Too many 10/10 games releasing lately like AI Limit and LoP DLC

>game looks interesting
>early access
how do I get out of this nightmare

>>713321950
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless they're planning on restocking the deck with the summer sale, you're not gonna get one.
They've been sold out for a while now.

I'm not buying anything, going through and finishing a bunch of stuff I bought and paused playing for various reasons.

Hopefully these go on sale.
Also, if any anon played these and can tell me if they are worth it or not? There are surprisingly very few reviews on them.

>>713326331
the last few EAs I've bought I'm happy with cause they were $20 or less and have enough going on to justify that price.

>>713326441
Faggot. lol

>>713320710 (OP)
Oh fug I thought it sarted on Monday.

>>713326331
It kinda depends on what genres you like.
For me it's
>Like SEGA games
>Fucking everything has Denuvo and they're assholes and occasionally don't disclose it.
Like I can't even pick up that Super Monkey Ball 1&2/Deluxe remake since people are cagey about whether or not it actually has it.

>>713326341
Not that anon but the LCD version is still in stock, is it really that meaningful of a difference between the LCD and OLED versions?

>>713326472
Anon, all of those games suck except for Beyond Citadel.

Lowkey thinking i should skip this sale so i can save some money because there's so many games im actually interested in coming out in a few months.
Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill f, Ninja Gaiden 4, Hell is Us and that Robocop Rogue City Expansion.
God i hate being poor

>>713325962
My wishlist used to be +5000 games, but I kept narrowing it down everyday, and ended up with 300 games I really really want and can't get any lower. Feelsgoodman.
Fight your consumerism and hoarder mentality, anon.

>>713326331
get absolutely scammed by an early access game and never trust another again

I bought a switch 2 and will be getting a new graphics card so I'll probably be pirating my computer games for the next couple of years.

I'll see the deepsale, last one was utterly shit

>>713326515
I mean technically the OLED has better battery life, and a 90hz built in screen, but mostly no.
(Disclaimer, I also use my LCD one docked with Ethernet a lot, especially if I'm putting games on it, the OLED has better wifi, too.)

>>713326467
?

>>713326621
bite my dick retard

Can't wait for Steam Sale cart threads to come back
I love 500 posts of literal mouthbreathing fat retards posting their carts full of 6-10 animuslop games literally NOBODY has ever heard of while asking for cart advice as if being told that animuslop is animuslop would stop them from buying it to masturbate to it
Or who could forget "guy with cart full of keybundle trash but with one shitpile like a $55 copy of Black Ops 3 to bait people into giving him (You)s"?
I'm ready for the retarded thirdworlders who show up to shit up the thread by whining that people buy games instead of mass-pirating everything!

>>713326539
>Hell is Us
I played this games's demo and hated it after watching the trailer expecting an action game

>>713326679
Far from the dumbest thing that gets posted on /v/ on a daily basis.

>>713326679
Me personally I'm kinda hoping Team 17's shit stays on sale during the summer update.
I was thinking about getting the Alien Breed Trilogy.

>>713326679
LMFAO holy mother of trvke, based based based. Yeah bro I'm sure you're really going to play all of those $5-20 indie rpgs and metroidvanias
And yeah the third worlders are awful. Their home base is on /b/ where they start up beg threads every sale and they infest other boards during sales.

>>713325172
I mainly use my wishlist to track unreleased games that look somewhat interesting
their order also isn't relevant after about #5

>>713326721
Playing the demo got me excited even more actually.
The world seems cool and i'm very interested in the story and exploration aspect. Combat is nothing to write home about but it works decently well enough. Maybe it gets better as you get more abilities and stuff

>>713326783
Damn I'm retarded, I meant the Steam Summer Seal

>Steam Sale
>Already bought Dead Space and Calisto Protocol
I don't want anything, unless they somehow decide to put Stellar Blade on sale. I'll even take a 10% discount.

Have a bunch of games I want to get but not sure if they'll even go on sale. Even a shitty 10-20% one

>>713326679
At least it is solely related to actual vidya or the steam sale threads themselves.
Compared to the other trash that gets posted in this board i would rather have this.

>>713320710 (OP)
I don't think there's anything I'm going to want but I'm looking forward to it as always

>>713326957
Cart threads are great when they're good, the problem is that this site doesn't rangeban the third world so they just ruin everything decent

>>713326985
loli go squish

I will wait for anons to shill me shit I have never heard of but somehow will end up enjoying.
Hoping for some good discounts this round, spring had a few surprises for me

After playing Expedition 33, it got me interested in Final Fantasy 16 since Ben Starr is in that game and people said his performance in it is also amazing.
Here's hoping it gets a good discount.

>>713326874
I guess it's because I was expecting something completely different, I barely heard of the game before and saw a cool trailer in the next fest and wanted to try it thinking it was an action game

is hollow knight or nine sols easier?
looking for a metroidvania and saw that nine sols have an easy mode?

I might get nightrein because some friends wanted to play it.

>>713327094
Check the Team 17 sale.
The newest Worms is a bust but you really can't go wrong with Ultimate Mayhem and Armageddon.

>>713327154
Will honestly be surprised if that even gets a 10% cut

i have 70+ titles on my wishlist. i need to stop buying games man

>>713327130
What the fuck is the point of playing on easy mode? Just watch a god damn lets play or play something else you spiritually bankrupt shitface

>>713327104
Buddy of mine swears on 16 being pretty good even though he has given up in Square ever making FF turn based again. He said it's great but becomes kind of a mass as it goes on but he played the shit out of it anyway

>>713327221
>Julius Caesar existed on Gaia

>>713327104
Its fun but it does feel criminal that its part of the FF series. Not that the previous few installments were faithful
Also
>Nip publisher
>Good discount

>>713327428
yeah I gave up with koei tecmo and square
>old as fuck shit
>30% off
why

>>713327428
>Nip publisher
>Good discount
That's so often true BUT I just fucking bit on the last two Ace Attorney game collections at $20 and $25 and I know they're going to get cheaper because Capcom's not afraid of greasy back alley bundling but GOD DAMN IT MAN I finally gave in

Actually would be interested in the Octopath games and Bravely Default 2 too if we got some deeper sales than the usual

>>713320710 (OP)
will anything decent actually go on a decent sale this time?

>>713327625
I read somewhere that a lot of games are starting to not sell as well, so I could see some actual discounts.

>>713327625
Probably, the better question is will you find it and did you not purchase it in the past few years.

>>713320710 (OP)
Can't wait for all the games I'm waiting for a 50% or more discount to only be 10-20% off haha...

I have 132 games on my wishlist and last time there was a sale I think only one game actually had enough of a discount to make the price worthwhile.

>>713327130
>hollow knight
longer and easier

> nine sols
a lot shorter but harder, better combat imo

also this >>713327234 anon is right dont ruin a great game by setting it to retard baby mode

why dont yall just use trusted key sites instead?

>>713328009
I actually do most of the time, it's why I so rarely buy stuff on Steam itself now

>>713327185
Already have dredge and don't think I can gather enough friends for most of their coop stuff though they do look fun

>>713325582
>Selaco
I don't recommend playing it yet. I mean, the gameplay is well made and replayable because of all the customization options, but the main story content isn't finished. It's still just the first chapter (took me about 30 hours of meticulous hunting for hidden secrets on the first playthrough), and the player character isn't even fully voiced.

>>713328009
Regional pricing in my case but most of the time I just grab keys from keysites.
Also got a $6 coupon for the current humble choice

>>713328009
>steam sale starts
>check my wishlist
>crosscheck with g2jew
>buy from the cheapest
simple as

>>713328009
I can't be fucked with Key sites except for unlisted shit ~4 hours after it gets delisted before they start scalping.

>download the steamdb extension for chrome that shows all time discounts
>never ever buy a game again

Probably just Expedition 33

>>713328580
Most games that have deep discount frequently go back to all-time lows though?

Red Dead Redemption 1 (nostalgia)
Elden Ring (needs to be a big one, curious but not £20+ curious)
That's about it.

>>713328671
>current sale
>60% off
>all time lo discount: 65% (4 years ago)
I'm not buying your game

>>713328671
Sorta. Some games don't go as deep as their lowest anymore, and it's been common enough that SteamDB introduced a "2-year low" feature like a year ago.

>>713328825
>mfw discovering rockstar has a "rockstar pass" monthly subscription

why the fuck is selling steam trading cards such a hassle now?
I need to go to my email and then open steam on my web browser? and then sell them all individually?

battlefront 2 is dirty cheap right now, how active is the game?

>>713329515
The good battlefront two or the one that was being used as a front for feds to distribute child porn?

Recommend me a good game that will be on sale right fucking NOW. Pretty please

>>713329594
outer wilds

>Logic Artists somehow got rid of their NFT tards and they're back to making Expeditions games again
SEMI-HISTORICAL TURN BASED RPG CHADS, WE STAY FUCKING WINNING

Friendly reminder that you can import your Steam Wishlist in SteamDB's Watchlist and organize it into categories.
You can also add bundles to your Watchlist, unlike the Wishlist.

hades 2 yay or nay?

>>713320710 (OP)
Stellar Blade
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...
Resident Evil 4 (new)
Talos Principle 2
Talos Principle Remastered
Death Stranding
Lossless Scaling

but all depends on discounts.

>>713329780
nay

>>713329793
>remake
>remake
>remake
really bad list

>>713326331
Follow and wait for 1.0

this can't be a good idea right

>>713329793
>Lossless Scaling
Wait that's right maybe they'll do a huge sale on that stupid goddamn wallpaper engine thing MAYBE THIS WILL BE THE SALE I PULL THE TRIGGER

>>713329905
If you've never played them they're perfectly fine to run through at sale price and Skyrim might turn into a coom machine. It's not the WORST idea

>>713329905
Enjoy the 50 hours of setting up mods I guess

>>713329793
Is Lossless Scaling a meme?

>>713320710 (OP)
Im only waiting for some multiplayer games to get discounted. If you buy single player games then you're a sucker. 99% of them can be pirated.

>>713320710 (OP)
yeah I can't wait for the 20% off on like 5 year old games
steam sales are shite and publishers are greedy bastards

>>713330017
from my research it is a good option to have though I have never used it

I know if it's like half to a year old shit sometimes you only get like a 20% discount during the summer sale, but what's with you guys acting like big discounts straight up never happen?
My issue is mostly that I already own said games.

>>713328009
I do. But i have noticed recently that by comparing steamdb lowest price versus keysites that usually steam summer sale/winter sale like the big sales have cheaper prices than the keyshops. So its a case by case basis

>>713320710 (OP)
I don't really like having more than 5 or so games on my active backlog so I don't buy anything unless it's at a deep discount or something I'll play relatively soon. Might grab the soulreaver remaster and re revelations 1 as I forgot to buy it during the capcom sale.

>>713321557
>you can no longer play the game you bought
>we remove the game from your library
>you get no refunds because we already paid the devs with your money so we would have to refund you out of our own pockets
>but if you bought a special upgrade you can get that part of the purchase back
>prease undasand

>>713330017
Yes it is a meme. You're paying for something you can get on github for free

>>713330365
I mean me personally I'm on Linux and can just use Gamescope to inject FSR into stuff.

>>713329808
can you elaborate? is it because the game is in EA?

i love early access slop

>>713330440
It's mostly that like, the devs never really progressed past Bastion IMO.
And Bastion wasn't all that amazing either.
Neat Gimmick, not a very good game.

>got robocop a few weeks ago
>now it's like 90% off on fanatical
how do you guys feel when this happens?
loved the game tho

I've been buying indie games under 10 bucks
Recently bought blasphemous for $2.50
I try not buy off key sites
Do devs even see money from a key site purchase

is the outer wilds DLC worth getting?

these are the only games in my wishlist that are not "Coming Soon"

>>713330943
>how do you guys feel when this happens?
If the game was worth the money, then it's fine.

>>713331324
I didn't like it personally but most people loved it. I'd say yes. I just wasn't a fan of it not being about space as much anymore.

anyone know RPG like atelier with crafting as the main focus?

>>713332164
Curious as well, even Atelier doesn't have crafting as the main focus anymore...

Why can’t I get AAA releases for under 10€ anymore? I bought Dark Souls for 8€ in 2013. Why can’t I get Elden Ring for even 30?

>>713325582
fallout 76 regularly goes on sale on key/bundle sites
its dogshit btw

>>713332526
I've been wondering the same, but with some old games never dropping below 9.99.

I'm a bit of a slowpoke and addicted to old games, got like 180 left to play but a restock is always needed. Which of these should I get?

I've been thinking about getting Europa Universalis 4 but how many dlc's do I need to make it a decent experience?

>>713329905
fo4 is ass
anniversary edition of skyrim is just a lot of poorly integrated creation club dogshit stapled onto skyrim special edition.
just get skyrim SE if its on deep sale
also some modders are retarded and some use the AE nomenclature on mods that have no actual dependency on anniversary edition's content so keep an eye out for that, dont think you need anniversary edition to mod

>>713326441
I've played Vomitoreum, I'd say pirate it. It's a neat idea but at the end of the day it's still a very simple doom wad trying to be a metroidvania.

>>713320710 (OP)
I was only looking forward to 3 games on sale, but two were on sale recently, so I guess this sale I'm just gonna get Balatro. I've got a big backlog already.

If any of you are looking for cheap games on sale check out my curator because the infographic and copypasta message got too long: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45021728/

Furi is on sale for cheap right now, and I love that game. Check it out.

>>713328009
>yall

>>713333040
just get the recommended ones

Trails from Zero, maybe the Granblue fighting game. There's enough games to catch up on that I'm not looking to buy much right now.

>>713320710 (OP)
I might get Expedition 33 if it discounted at least by 20% since I missed out on the FOMO because I was playing other games at the time.

>>713320710 (OP)
I got nothing to buy, reached a point where my wishlist is tiny and only has titles that have not yet come out.

>>713320710 (OP)
Already wrote down a list of the games I want to buy beforehand so yes. If I'll be able to buy all of it within my budget is a different story, but my plan is to get a few AAA heavy hitters I don't have in my library yet and a few indie games for variety.
>>713323158
Good luck finding a game from that you will like from the sea of shovelware garbage covering the list of your library.

why do newfags even get excited for steam sales? they've been absolute shit for like 10 years at this point kek

Any chance of Shadow of the Erdtree going on sale?

>>713335884
It might get a 20% discount or something to celebrate being a year old, but don't be surprised if it remains full price.

>>713333040
>getting EU4 when EU5 is on the way

>>713326510
I have the same problem but with capcom and their enigma drm

>>713332895
delta force 1 and 2 are amazing (i prefer 2 but 1 is solid)
ghost recon 1 is also good

>>713335880
I like the threads because it baits all the turd world poorfags into revealing themselves

I finally got a really good computer after years of having a mediocre one, so I'll try to find something pretty (or at least graphically intensive) on sale. Maybe Returnal?

No, my wishlist has been empty since Epic gave me Subnautica for free and the Phasmophobia craze ended. There hasn't been a good game in years at this point and I just play a single gmod server for 10 hours a day for the past few years.

>>713328531
I heard The Last Night is gonna be 50% off

>>713320710 (OP)
>Best I can do is 20% and I already taking a risk here

anything except slopspedition 33

>>713320710 (OP)
I'm so ready for this bros! Got a new PC and will consoom quite a bit on this sale

What should I buy to play on my 9060xt (16gb)?

>>713320710 (OP)
I'm trying to find more games that interest me. Which is why we need more steam hidden gem threads or something.

I think the only games on my radar right now is Peripeteia. That's what i will be buying on sale, maybe Psycho Patrol R if the discount is okay.

>>713326847
Amazing wishlist anon.

I've been making an effort to actually finish games instead of playing them for 2 hours and then switching to something else. It's fun
