I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

Did they release a fifth installment?

I've watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.

I bought it and I'm a bit disappointed, it scratches the creeper itch a bit but it kinda does away with the creeper world formula of making massive bases

Finally playing Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 1, cause $3 is a good price to wait for. Only for the single player. I don't care about multi-player. Streamed from my PC to Steam Deck is great.

Nothing. Everything its too expensive in argentina now

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

Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.

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

I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery... you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.

da 2's gameplay is not the best for sure, i think even inquistion might have been a bit more fun to play, but in terms of the story, look i may have just been really high, but i have never cried actual tears like that twice, like the end and then the dlc, idk but i really felt connected to my hawke more than any other character except well, my city elf from origins, origins is def the best of the three hands down, but da:kirkwall had an excellent story that i understand why people didn't like twist there, but it just felt so right for the story i played, i loved it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

DA2 has a solid story and very well written companions. I can understand it is too different from the first game for the fans of DA:O. Full disclosure; I didn't know there was a prior game and DA2 was my entry to the franchise and I love it to pieces.After playing DA:O, it made Hawke's story even more meaningful to me, since Hawke was one of many refugees who just did everything in their power to keep their family alive and well. We played through seven years of that struggle. It's a pretty special game to me.

Veilguard marked a new low in every game aspect of a DA game, so I now consider DA2 a masterpiece, considering it was developed in just 2 years. After the empty world of DA:I, I've come to realize, I'll take reused assets with well written stories and characters any day.

DA:I companions were well written mostly, but there were so many of them and I guess I have a bandwidth of how many companions I'll care about in a game and that's not many (cue Iron Bull betrayal because I forgot to complete his companion quests)

I got:

Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.

CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.

Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.

I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.

spoilerMage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest

Midnight Castle Succubus

Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.

Might get more idk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I got

  • Nightmares I and II
  • Firewatch
  • Never Alone
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

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

Exit the Gungeon (It's meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn't work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it's not fun) New Super Lucky's Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.

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

Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.

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

I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.

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

I got Gelatine after forgetting about it being in my wishlist for half a year

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

Caravan Sand Witch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I bought a few, but the one that got me was Microsoft flight simulator 2020. It looks amazing in VR.

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

Outpost Infinity, Executive Assault and something that was cheap and on my wishlist for a long time, totalling BRL 89 (~15 dollars)

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

Assassins Creed Odyssey and Fields of Mistrial.

Wasn't ajlot i wanted that i didnt already have.

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

I took Age4 Sultans Ascend DLC and Cossacks 3 in previous sale before winter because I ended up with a bit more money. Somehow I didn't spent much money as usual in October, cook food on my own instead of buying cooked food.

I don't really have any other wishlist now. Instead I really want to make my own rts game but I have not been able to be productive nor playing Cossacks 3. But I did spent a bit more time with Age4.
