ninjoatse.cx posted:This happened to me with Dawn of War 3. Worked for 6 months and then steam removed it from my account. Was pretty cheesed (that I gave money to key scammers, not that I didn't have it), but I didn't really like the game that much. Do you get a message or something if this happens? I'm honestly not sure I would ever notice if something I bought a year ago disappeared out of my account if they didn't tell me. I end up trying to rebuy stuff I already own nearly every sale already.

Macichne Leainig posted:$10 still being considered a microtransaction is truly one of the things of all time Lots of games have skins that cost $20. It's insane. I think they would sell > 4x as many at 1/4 the price, but I'm no mathmetologist and presumably they've run the numbers. Substandard fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jul 18, 2023 |

claw game handjob posted:The two major studios doing them are jank or collapsing (Spiders and Bioware respectively). A few others dabbled and realized "it is a better use of our time and resources to go a little more stock CRPG". I feel like Spiders started out trying to make Mass Effect with no budget, but I think every one of their games has improved over the previous one. Mars: War Logs was pretty atrocious back in the day, but I had a really good time with Greedfall. It's nice to see them out there still doing it.

I ended up grabbing a decent amount of things in the Visual Novel sale (Steins;Gate , Muv-Luv / Muv-Luv Alternative, the Key bundle). I figured they would be great for the steam deck. My visual novel experience is mostly limited to like Phoenix Wright / 999 / 13 Sentinels but I enjoyed all of those so hopefully I'm into some more. I've been meaning to play through Steins;Gate for years.

Det_no posted:So that HoloCure "Vampire Survivors but vtubers" game was released on Steam. I played an hour of this and it is pretty good. I have no idea what they are talking about or who any of the vtubers are, but a lot of the weapons have similar VS analogies so it was pretty easy to feel at home with a rotating book with lava (holy water) on the floor build that was fun and effective. There seem to be a lot of characters and the character weapons seem like more of a focus than VS where I generally end up running the same thing all the time. I also on 2 different runs had 2 different "collab" super weapon combinations but I'm not sure what the restrictions on this system are or what all works together. I can see myself dumping some time in it but I have no clue if it'll have the legs VS did for me. I've got over 100 hours in that game.

Kragger99 posted:I'm having no issues with Starfield on my 3080. I'm finding it really engaging, yet frustrating. When I'm not playing it, I'm thinking of what I want to do next. If you're an older gamer that likes stumbling upon new quests as you're doing another quests/checking out points of interest, you'll probably enjoy it. I also have a roughly 3 year old pc with a vanilla 3080 in it and it runs perfectly well. I've had like 1 crash in 20 hours and the framerate seems fine. I know it runs like poo poo if you don't have an SSD though.

Saoshyant posted:Yeah, I did. Going by their Amazon page, the Switch one (Bluetooth + 2.4g) didn't mention anything about also working wired, but their official site actually does, so I added additional confusion to something that's already confusing. Sorry. To add to the confusion, there is also another 8bitdo 2.4g ultimate that only comes in purple and mint green that is $30. I bought that for my batocera machine and it has been working just fine and feels pretty good. I don't know what other features it is missing that are in the mid range model. It does not have a dock for sure.

I just bought some controller called the NYXI Chaos off amazon for <$30 which says it has hall effect sticks and gyro and back buttons and weird RGB lights around each stick. I'll have to report back on if it is actually decent or not. I can't resist a possible controller deal.

I like The Crew: Motorfest, but a lot of that is because there are not enough arcade racers out there in the world. It's definitely just a 1:1 ripoff of Forza Horizon and it eliminated the big "We have a compressed map of the whole US!" differentiator to be just Hawaii, but I've had a good time with it since I bought that and Alan Wake 2 a couple weeks ago during the last sale. I think they would have been cheaper if I had waited until this sale though. Oh well.

FutureCop posted:Hmm, Epic sale along with the 33% off coupon is pretty tempting: Sifu for $13, Stranger of Paradise for $16, HITMAN World of Assassination for $19, Returnal and Lords of the Fallen around $25, and so on. Wonder if I should just go for it or stay away: just to check since I haven't been keeping up, is there any big reason to avoid the Epic store at the moment, apart from the split library? I suppose I lose out on easy Steam refunds. The main reason for me to try to avoid it is that it's a pain in the rear end to get things working on the steam deck. I've not had any real problems with the epic store for things like Alan Wake 2 that make me use it though.

I voted for Remnant II for innovative, because I played it, and it's good. I don't know that it's particularly innovative though considering it's pretty similar to the first Remnant game. Anything other than Starfield is good with me.

I don't know if it's because I've bought less stuff the last couple sales or what, but I found a bunch of stuff I wanted in this sale for some pretty good deals. Starcom:Nexus / Tony Hawk 1&2 / Ultrakill / Anno 1800 / Pizza Tower... and a few <$5 throw ins, and I don't think I paid over $15 for any game I got. Now if only I could find some time to play all this stuff.
