I don't remember laughing much in Dredmor. Some builds get completely hosed by monster closets while the rest of the game feels too easy.

So, Concrete Jungle has been my best purchase this sale. It's a city building puzzle game with deck building, which hits all the right spots for me. There's only single player, unfortunately, despite a pretty cut-throat versus mode against the AI. The art is great, the music is great, and it's a nice chill puzzle game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/400160/Concrete_Jungle/

Only trying to spend $50-65$ this sale, hoping on the lower end. Dishonored 2 19.99 To The Moon 1.99 Thomas Was Alone 2.49 Rakuen 7.49 Hollow Knight 9.89 Ori And the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition - 9.99 And then maybe Lisa for 4.99 bringing me to 56 and change. I've heard Lisa is kind of dark, which I don't mind, but are we talking "This will leave you feeling super hosed up" vs "That was awful, but I'll make it"?

-Blackadder- posted:Uh...so this is what my steam cart looks like right now. Most of it is pretty heavily discounted (~75%), but I still think I could really use some help cutting this down... Axe everything off the list if it's more than 3 bucks, except for Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight and Way of the Samurai 3. The cheaper games I can vouch for are Hero Siege, One Finger Death Punch, Portal Bundle, Dust, and The Dweller. Crypt of the NecroDancer and Broforce are fun but I never enjoyed those as much as everyone else seemed to, so probably keep those on there but just fyi. I haven't played the DLC for Hero Siege, but the base game is under a buck and I felt like that was plenty of content for the type of game it is. Dust is another fun one but goons like to poo poo on it to show how much of a furry they are not. I think I remember you and your purchasing habits from previous sales. Next time slap yourself before you even begin to contemplate spending so much money on vidya you'll never play.

kender posted:Only trying to spend $50-65$ this sale, hoping on the lower end. I genuinely don't like Ori and the Blind Forest, mostly because it doesn't feel like a metroidvania - it feels instead like a collection of very pretty platforming obstacle courses that get more and more difficult as you go along, and not much reward for backtracking. It's just, ergh, it feels like it could be better and isn't. i can still taste him posted:Got away under $100 CAD this year.

If you like Shadowrun Returns (and I do!) - then when you're done with its relatively short story, get to Dragonfall and Hong Kong! They're much better games!

I made a thing for people looking for cheap games. Most of these are kinda old since I haven't been gung-ho about Steam Sales in a fair bit, but they're games that made an impression on me. Beatbuddy, in particular, is really cool if you want a chill kinda-platformer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1npUlxR1kQ

Unbalanced posted:I think I remember you and your purchasing habits from previous sales. Next time slap yourself before you even begin to contemplate spending so much money on vidya you'll never play. Haha, yeah I can't even remember what I spent last year but I think it was a lot. Thanks for the advice so far everyone. I've cut things down a bit more, from where I started. One Finger Death Punch Hero Siege Skullgirls 2nd Encore Upgrade Skullgirls Rochard Portal Bundle Crypt of the NecroDancer Stardew Valley ICEY Disciples II: Rise of the Elves Disciples II: Gallean's Return Dust: An Elysian Tail Rivals of Aether Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action! Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara Craft The World Way of the Samurai 3 NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 Road to Boruto Dungeon Warfare Salt and Sanctuary The Dweller Broforce Hollow Knight I've noticed some other goons buying habits trending toward buying just a few higher cost games. But as much as I want to play Nier Automata, The Surge, Prey, Resident Evil 7 and Sniper Elite 4 right now, I can't bring myself to pay so much for them, when I know they'll probably be lower during the next sale, or the sale after that, etc. On the other hand it's hard to pass up some of these super cheap ~$3 games. They definitely add up, though, haha. New subtotal: $118.55 -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Jun 25, 2017 |

could use a hand trimming down my cart. It's mostly cheap short games, but givenmy pre-existing backlog (that mostly never gets touched because I keep sinking more time into fighting games) I should trim it down a bit. Euclidean - $2.49 (mostly based on me really enjoying AAAAAAAA) Crimzon Clover - $1.99 Noitu Love 2 - $1.99 BLUE REVOLVER - $7.49 VA-11 HALL-A - 10.04 Pathologic Classic HD $2.59 (from what I understand the HD remake is still a difficult to comprehend mess even before you hit the punishing difficulty, but I enjoyed The Void so I figure I'll get my moneys worth at this price) OneShot $5.99 Dex - $4.99 Hyper Light Drifter - $9.99 Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon - $5.76 Hollow Knight -$9.89 MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code - $6.49 Grey Goo Definitive Edition - $4.79 Games in my to play backlog from previous sales that might be relevant. - Dark Souls 3 - Legend of grimrock 2 - Transistor - Pillars of eternity, white march part 2 - la mulana - LISA (partway through, might drop it, I realize that as much as I like challenge in other genres, I don't really like it in JRPGs, especially without a 'save anywhere' function)

Euclidean: had this on my list initially (love Cthulhu stuff) but took it off after reading more reviews saying it's basically a really short falling simulator. You could probably watch it on youtube and get mostly the same experience. Melty Blood: Had this on my list too, took it off and replaced it with the HD and newer UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late. Which I then took off because I eventually plan to get Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator + Rev 2, and I only need so many of these types of fighters.

hi I finished Poi so I'll talk about it since it was gifted to me http://store.steampowered.com/app/401810/?snr=1_5_9__205 so right now, these are the modern 3D PC Platformers i'm aware of: Yooka Laylee (do not own), FreezeME, Poi, Skylar & Plux (do not own), Woodle Tree, The Last Tinker (SO IT CLAIMS TO BE), Lolly Joe (do not own), A Hat in Time (not out yet), Snake Pass (not sure this one counts, don't own), Grow Home/Up, Unbox (don't own but played a demo). If you want to go back a bit, there's Tiny & Big (sorta) and Papo & Yo (barely). so if I were to grade what I've played to date, FreezeME is maybe a D+, The Last Tinker is an F because it has AssCreed free-running instead of jumping, Grow Home a C because it's not really a conventional 3D platformer so much as a chill-out ride vines up and up and up game (and it's really good for being that), and now Poi, which I tentatively give a B-. I say tentatively even though I've gotten over 60 of the 100 total medallions (the game's equivalent to stars), mostly because the game is 0% original in the slightest. It steals Mario's moveset, its enemies are Mario enemy knockoffs, there's nothing, NOTHING it does that is unique. It's also quite low budget, with substandard lighting and relatively plain looking textures that are certainly vibrant but lacking in the kind of beauty-in-simplicity aesthetic that Nintendo rules at. of course, the game doesn't pretend that it's original. You are guided by an old person with a mustache who goes "hoo hoo!" a lot and no they're not the pillsbury doughboy. So maybe because of those factors it should be a C+. THAT SAID, unlike FreezeME, whose level design was a mess, Poi has fun platforming playgrounds, that aren't necessarily super tough-- they are influenced by Mario 64 rather than Galaxy so they aren't super hazardous-- but will give you a lot of heights to climb and nooks and crannies to explore. The game has four primary worlds with 7 medallions each, but as you collect medallions, a bunch of stuff sprouts up all around you in the hub world, from mini-games to challenge stages (think Mario Sunshine's FLUDD-less levels) to flat out entire optional levels like Snowland (which has 7 medallions of its own). The game rewards exploration, with 100 coin stars, fossils to dig up, golden gears to find (traded 5 at a time for medallions), the ability to go back to the prologue level (which has 4 more medallions to get). Each level has locations to document (basically find the unique areas of the level) and doing that can get you medallions. There's also apparently a new game+ but I dunno what that does. I think the most important part of Poi was that at no point did I just stop and stare at the level and think "what the gently caress is this garbage" like I did with FreezeME which just threw a bunch of random poo poo everywhere. The majority of Poi's level design MAKES SENSE (from a gameplay standpoint). The medallions are spread out in a way that each medallion usually takes you to a different area of the level (with the exception of the first world Cozy Canyon which is a kind of small level that is a bit too condensed). All that comes together into a package that I'd say is maybe worth-- okay this is usually a bad tangent but I'll do it anyway-- uhh I guess $10?? Currently it costs $15 -10%, and I dunno. Budget-wise, we're talking about a game that reminds me of early XBLA games in terms of presentation, texturing, lighting, etc. And it's not original in any way. It also has a not-amazing start by having somewhat errand-y medallions in cozy canyon. I dunno why I'm talking y'all out of it because I enjoyed it a lot, but it was also GIFTED to me and I didn't spend my own money on it, while I certainly did spend money on FreezeME and I certainly did find myself disappointed from the experience. e: I will be going back into Poi to get more medallions but I dunno if I'll 100% it. there's no medallion too excrutiating to get or anything but it's just a matter of, once I get most of the medallions, it'll come down to finding the last few fossils/locations I dunno if I have time to do that with all the other games I wanna play The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Quest For Glory II posted:modern 3D PC Platformers good post. I've played most of the 3D platformers on steam and its pretty sad that the slightly-above-mediocre Poi is one of the best. Of the ones you haven''t played/ didn't mention: Unbox and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger are v.good. Lolly Joe is garbage. Scrap Garden is okay but short, I would only recommend it for a price $1 or so (plus it has a free prequel.) and Macbat is more of a tribute/homage than a game, it's very, very short but also quite charming.
