This sale I bought: Jagged Alliance 3 - weird difficulty spikes and balacing aside, it's still a good game. I love all the banter and incidental dialogue your characters get, they're all absolute doofuses and I love them. Baldur's Gate 3 - despite my reservations wrt Larian design choices and D&D 5e as a system, I'm still having a blast and Larian's improvements on the most mid system ever are very welcome. The reactivity and presentation is off the charts. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - the idea of playing essentially D&D 3.5 is 😬 but I like the presentation and the idea of the mythic paths is really appealing. Spelldisk - kind of cheating since it wasn't actually on sale but it's just as good as everyone says. Death May Die - awful writing aside the game shows a lot of promise and it's cheap so might as well

my theory on the ludicrous results of the steam game awards is that steam is full of children even if you can't tell it is, and children are dumb as hellcredburn posted:Hey gang, has there been like an upswell in interest in Oblivion lately? I only ask because I'm seeing some screenshots around here (not really unusual) but a friend of mine who normally doesn't talk much about games has been asking me all sorts of questions about Oblivion. I suspect there is a trend happening. It may be because there is reportedly a remake/remaster in the works. e: Also I am really enjoying Lost In Random which I got a key for for $2.99 (!!!) on Amazon. I just love stop-motion style in video games and the overall style owes an incredible amount to The Nightmare Before Christmas and similar stuff, which I'm also a fan of. The gameplay is a bit stiff perhaps, but style and story take it a long way. Play fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jan 4, 2024 |

Thanks for the information on the 2k launcher, hopefully this fixes it. I have tried everything else and I have a 3080, so hopefully I see better performance now. edit: Okay, that basically fixed it, I had a couple of stutters when I started out, but they went away, so thanks! The main game I have been playing though from the sale is Rimworld, that game is like crack. Rusty fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Jan 4, 2024 |

Didn't end up getting much from my wishlist this sale even though most of it was discounted, too many titles in the backlog already to justify spending much more. Still grabbed Jusant since it looks like a short but solid execution of a unique concept, and STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN which may or may not be a dumb meme of a game. It looks like it's maybe good even though you play as anime Fred Durst? Have to play it to be sure, while Baldur's Gate 3 sits in the "I'll get to it" pile.

Turbo Overkill was one of my GOTYs. the steam deck has made whole new categories of genres extremely exciting for me to buy and play. I am super hype for many of the games I bought Serephina posted:Ooh! Fez is really, really good, but you gotta power through the first 5 minute introduction which is kinda slow.

ugh if they remake Oblivion I would be so disappointed. It is the worst TES game to remake because so little of it is exceptional outside of its era. Even Arena would be more interesting to see done with contemporary tech much less everything great about Morrowind. Hell I'd rather see Skyrim get an updated renderer.

I finally got around to reviewing Vermintide 2. I can't believe it took me this long. https://steamcommunity.com/id/656549/recommended/552500/ quote:This review is long, long overdue. I could simply point to the number of hours I've played this game and leave it at that, but I'll try to put in a little more effort. I've been a big fan of first-person melee games ever since Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into titles like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare over the years, so when I saw footage of Vermintide 2 back in 2018 I was immediately intrigued, despite not having played the first game. I resolved to try it out to see if it was as good as it looked. Some people would be embarrassed at having such a silly game be one of their all-time favorites, but I have no shame.

Phlegmish posted:I finally got around to reviewing Vermintide 2. I can't believe it took me this long. If you like what Vermintide is trying to do the game is great and really fun. The only game that has scratched the same itch for me is Darktide because I prefer the mix between melee and ranged a lot more than just melee with a bit of ranged of Vermintide.

I'm the opposite - I like Darktide, or at least I do now after a year's worth of patches, but it's just not the same as Vermintide. I really, really enjoy going apeshit in these melee games, probably mostly due to my ADHD brain.
