We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I finally picked up Witcher 3 for like 4 bucks. Excited to start playing that. I also got Euro Truck Simulator because it was like 1.99 and seems like a chill space out game.

The Witcher 3 is pretty good. I normally don't like a lot of fantasy games, but the Witcher and Elder Scrolls games are two that I like for some reason! I finished the whole game and both dlcs once. I started a second playthrough, but that is mostly running around and playing gwent! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Both Euro and American Truck Simulator are really good games. I like to just put on a podcast or some music and drive for a while. If you find you like it, the dlc states are worth the price in my opinion. Especially since they go on sale pretty often!

If you like eurotruck but want something a little more intense, snowrunner is great. Base game has well over 100hr of gameplay

Thanks for the recommendation! I actually already own Mudrunner and Snowrunner, and they are lots of fun. Slightly less relaxing than trucking, but they are good games to play with friends too.

The whole package seemed a bit expensive on the Switch. But I've spent way too many hours despite the blurry graphics

I didn't realize they had it ported to the Switch! I can definitely see it struggling to keep up with the game, but it sounds like it's still at least playable.

Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I'm the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It's the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.

That's why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.

This is why I can't replay it... the first time I played it I did everything I possibly could; all the little icons, side quests, traipsed all over each region a dozen times or more... it took hundreds of hours.

I boot it up again, manage to choke down the first "tutorial" area and get to the next are and shut it off... it's no good, I can't do it.

Oh man. Once you get some of the higher level fighting moves that games can just be a ballet of rend and slice.

[-] SaintWacko@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago

Huh, and here I thought it was just sitting in the cab of a big rig...

Oh, that's Witcher 2: Ice Road Witcher.
