I nabbed a foil card which earned me some extra cash, is there any notable five bucks game that slipt under the radar? I'm considering Sorcery! 1+2 but am wondering if there might be anything I missed.

-Blackadder- posted:It is a great game, and I have an extra copy in my inventory. If anyone is planning on buying it, I'd trade it, if someone wanted to buy me Domina, which would save them $3. I can do that, if you're okay waiting 12 hours. Friend me on steamcommunity.com/Id/creepyjackalopeeye if so. And thank you, I wanna play it but I'm counting the pennies this sale. tight aspirations fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jun 27, 2017 |

Five bucks. http://store.steampowered.com/app/440880/The_Count_Lucanor/ It's kinda niche, but if it's your thing then it's a treat. I loved it. It is, to date, the only game on Steam that I've felt compelled to write a review for, which you can access here, if you so desire.

explosivo posted:Just Cause 3 worth $13? I bought it when it released but ended up refunding it because of the always online stuff crashing constantly and generally seeming pretty meh overall. Have they changed/fixed any of the buggy always online bullshit? I would honestly spend that money on some other game or a burger. There's little substance (which is no surprise given the franchise) and they made all your vehicles and even you tissue paper. It's no fun being a god of destruction who can't take a few shots. Choppers are dead before you finish the getting in animation. Granted, this is from my experience giving up before reaching the main island, but if they can't make the opening of the game fun enough to warrant sticking around until you've unlocked poo poo then gently caress that. Also the unlock system and its currency is poorly handled activity grinding.

Is the CIV6 + X-Com 2 bundle worth getting if I just having passing interest in Civ6? The only Civ I have is 5. I get bored of single player strategy games pretty quickly, pretty much after just winning one game unless there is a decent multiplayer scene? Not sure I would want to dedicate a 6 hour block or whatever for one game though. Also X-Com 2 seems to be having an expansion coming out soon, would it be worth waiting for some bundle with that maybe in the winter sale? I am having trouble deciding which games I would actually play if I got them, since I tend to buy games that I heard were good when they go on sale, and then never play them. Here are games that kept my interest enough to get my moneys worth: Darkest Dungeon FTL Rogue Legacy Shadowrun Returns South Park: Stick of Truth X-Com: Enemy Unknown Dominions 4 (multiplayer) Binding of Isaac Currently thinking of grabbing: Left for Dead 2 - cheaper than a drink at a restaurant, does anyone still play it? Transistor - cheap Shadow of Mordor - cheap Satellite Reign - I liked Syndicate a long time ago, not sure if this is any good or if the play-style holds up I feel like these could add to the pile of never played games if I get them just because they are cheap though. Maybe one metroidvania? Dead Cells - looked the best but not a huge fan of early access Hollow Knight - people say it is good but videos have not looked like anything special Ori and the blind forest - supposed to be good? Any thoughts on the above games?

black.lion posted:What are some good RPGs on sale? Like, if I wanted to replay Final Fantasy VIII and IX. In case this gets missed on the last page Basically I want something with gorgeous visuals that's basically a slightly-interactive long movie, bonus points if I can pick between different classes or play-styles, if armor and weapons show on your character in game, and/or there is character creation/customization. I need something to relax and chill and play with my feet up and hear abt a cool story.

Transistor is good, Hollow Knight is incredibly good. Ori and the Blind Forest is not a good metroidvania, but it's an interesting precision platformer with obstacle courses. I didn't like it, but it's very pretty.

Shadow of Mordor is an Arkham game where you slaughter Uruks in very messy ways and around 60% of the story also begin pitting them against each other. I greatly enjoyed it, but it's not a spectacular game. Hollow Knight is fantastic, if you enjoy metroidvanias at all you won't regret it. Dead Cells might be cool but I'd rather wait for it to be finished. black.lion posted:In case this gets missed on the last page That's awfully specific. Steam also isn't very big into RPGs - at least not those that are as expansive as you're asking. The only ones I can think of are Dragon Age, Mass Effect 1+2 and The Witcher 3, and if I had to chose one of those it'd definitely be Witcher. You probably already have those tho  RPGs that don't fit all those criteria but might spark your interest: Trails in the Sky series, Atelier series, Cosmic Star Heroine, The Last Remnant, South Park: Stick of Truth, Divinity II, Expeditions series, Shadowrun series(Daggerfal and Hong Kong), Tales of Berseria

I hear ya, it was specific. I definitely love the witcher and the others you mentioned, and Shadowrun et al. also fit the bill. Really I just want something with a compelling story that is relaxing to play and really pretty (and not dark, unlike shadowrun). My cart is currently: Rebel Galaxy Transistor The Banner Saga Wasteland 2: Director's Cut - Classic Hyper Light Drifter Are any of these bad choices?

I found nothing relaxing about Rebel Galaxy. It's very combat-y and the story didn't seem any better than all the other space trading/fighting things. Do people call it a 4x? It doesn't seem like it should be called a 4x. I unno, tearing down games isn't fun.

black.lion posted:In case this gets missed on the last page Witcher 3 has gorgeous visuals and it's the most immersive RPG I've played (I'd probably rate it as the best one). It's gorgeous, you don't choose classes but you can focus on some different combat style, armor/weapons shows. But it's pretty heavily-interactive and it's an open world (but done right, places are pretty unique and sidequests that doesn't involve diving into the ocean are all great). Witcher 2 is pretty good too, and more focused. (I'd skip Witcher 1) Alpha Protocol visuals are pretty dated but the game looks alright, and feels like an spy movie. it has different skill trees and you can play dress-up with your agent. Mass Effect 2 and 3 if you want some sci-fi cinematic experience (skip ME 1 and Andromeda). Dragon Age Inquisition could be an option too, if you're going for medieval fantasy, I think Witcher is a better series in all aspects but you could look into it. For JRPGS, Final Fantasy X and it's sequels, maybe? Tales of Berseria has some positive reviews. I'd recommend Horizon Zero Dawn, unfortunately that's only for PS4. There's probably a few FPS and Action/Adventure games that fits the 'slightly-interactive long movie' description better. black.lion posted:I was in for HLD to be a fun arcadey thing and also bc it looks pretty so sounds like it'll fill in nicely there Banner Saga has a great art style, can't say much about the story because I hated the gameplay mechanics so much that I stopped playing really early.

black.lion posted:Rebel Galaxy I loved the combat system in Rebel Galaxy. I think it would be a good candidate for veg out game, but in the space sim/pirate/trading category, not story-happens RPG a la Final Fantasy. Also, should mention that most (all?) of the mainline Final Fantasies are available on Steam. All the ones before FFX are under  . Just be warned, some of the ports aren't so hot.Quest For Glory II posted:people confuse roguelikes or open world games for metroidvanias sometimes. the definition should be pretty simple: areas are gated off by ability (you can't get somewhere without acquiring a new ability/move), and those abilities/moves can also be used in earlier areas to find secrets Oh, now I get it. I thought it was an crafting-survival-zombie game. kater posted:I found nothing relaxing about Rebel Galaxy.

Think Civilization, Masters of Orion, and (for a real time spin) Sins of a Solar Empire. You're probably thinking about the space piloting games in the X series.

Word thanks everyone, I've def played Witcher 2 and 3, Alpha Protocol, Inquisition, all the Mass Effects, Horizon Zero Dawn, and all the Final Fantasies (except X-2 but I didn't like X enough to want to go back) and I loved them all, so your suggestions are spot on! I even liked Andromeda just to give you an idea of how attached I get to stories/universes. I'd totally replay a FF except that I'm saving myself for the VII remake, and I can play a port of IX on my phone sometime when I have a logn plane ride. I'll check out Tales of Berseria and y'all have convinced me not to try Banner Saga (Wasteland 2 should fill the same niche anyhow), so thanks. Super stoked about Rebel Galaxy now, was hoping it'd be a good veg/netflix game yay

Perhaps this was answered already, but does Steam rotate which deals are active during its big sales these days or did they stop doing that? In years past I remembered that they'd switch it up each day during a sale but I've been looking at my wishlist for a few days and none of the discounts have really changed.

I even liked Andromeda just to give you an idea of how attached I get to stories/universes. Since you played Horizon, you could try Yakuza (lenghty cinematics between gameplay and story focused), and while not RPGs I'm buying the new Wolfensteins to get a chill cinematic experience (about killing nazis with heavy weaponry) watch some gameplay on youtube to see if you'd like (The first 30-40 minutes will probably do). I'm conflicted about Wasteland 2, while the game does some things right they kept many old design decisions purely to cater the hardcore fanbase that are pretty bad and shouldn't be on a modern games. I found that Pillars of Eternities did the 'let's get an old classic and remake it" way better, you get the feeling of playing a old isometric game like baldurs gate / icewind dale without obtuse mechanics, trap options, etc. Pillars universe is pretty cool and they even made some pdf's with world lore. Unfortunately the game is more like Baldur's Gate 1 than 2, less plot heavy and more combat. I found the world setting cool at least  (and they're doing PoE 2 on a much more interesting part of the game world)
