Might pick up the amogus DLC for Vampire Survivors. Maybe Balatro? Idk, nothing really calls to me.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Balatro is allegedly coming to iOS and Android at some point and when that happens it’s over for me

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

There is already a way to convert the steam files into a Love 2D game playable on Android and ios. I'm surprised they didn't release it, the only thing that doesn't work is the flame particle effects.

Not planning on buying anything this year, I have enough games to last a lifetime TBH

[-] HarrietTubman@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

I got Final Fantasy VII Remake. I've been working through the entire Final Fantasy series, mostly in order thanks to the pixel remasters. Currently having the time of my life with FFVII after being extremely disappointed with VI (which surprisingly has been my least favorite by far), and now have the option to play Remake immediately after if I want.

I considered Baldur's Gate 3 because everyone I know keeps gushing about how great it is. It just doesn't look very fun and there is no way I'm going to put down $48 on a video game.

fallout four, I admit accusations

and battlebit

[-] magi@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Money is tight, if I did want to play something I'd probably pirate if I can, I'm also patient and will wait on SMT5 coming down in price in a few years. I'm currently going through a load of retro stuff so I'm well catered for games wise

[-] Kiagz@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

You can get some great indie games for a cheap price right now. Here’s some that you might not have heard of:

  • One night, hot springs. A cute, free game about a trans girl going to a hot spring together with her friends. There’s an expanded version of this game called A Year of Springs, which is currently 30% off.
  • Tails of Iron. Cool game about anthro rats vs frogs in a medieval setting. Currently 88% off.
  • Spirit of the North and Seasons after Fall. In both of these you play as a fox, exploring the world and solving puzzles to progress. Currently 85% and 80% off.
  • Exo One. A beautiful game that takes you on a journey through many different planets. There's no puzzles, you can just relax, enjoy the wonderful scenery and try to get your ball to the highest momentum possible. Currently 70% off.

I actually played Tails of Iron this year and finished it. It's a great game, I'm looking forward to the sequel. Glory to the Moleshevik Republic! rat-salute-2

nothing. since steam neutered the turkish and argentinian local prices everything's unaffordable for me now. I'm destined to sail the high seas whether i want it or not.

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 months ago

I got Forza Horizon 4 and a couple of fun looking 3D platformers namely Cavern of Dreams and Kao the Kangaroo.

Few friends also got me Street Fighter 6 since it was my birthday recently so I look forward to losing many street fights against them

But yea one of the first sales in a while that has noticeably good deals I’d say.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Dead Space 2 is currently discounted to 3.99€ which is fair but I distinctly remember gifting it to someone a couple of years back and it costing less than 2 euros in whatever sale that was. Then you have the original 2008 Dead Space at 7.99€, twice as expensive, and they list a 5.99€ EA Play sub above the fucking game itself on the store page

The pessimist in me wants to say we're going to see less and less of deep discounts on old games in the future in favour of this fucking subscription bullshit dean-frown

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Sold some cs cases and used it to cop the dishonored dlc, BFV, and frostpunk

[-] imikoy@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Nothing... I probably would have bought some games, but I am unable to. Also I'm ok with only having one game (xonotic), since I do need to limit my distractions.

[-] imikoy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Before I buy any games I first need to find a person with a Kazakhstan bank account, and have them buy the games for me in exchange for RUB.

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I realy want to recommend Dyson Sphere Program even though its not on a big discount sadly. 400h on that in the past. I'm also recommending Distant worlds 2 since its very good but perhaps a bit too expensive at full price.

I'm definitely going for X4: Foundations dlcs that I missed for the past 3 years.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 months ago

For anyone who hasn't played it, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is $6 right now. Super worth.

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

This might be the most mundane game I've bought so far, but I picked up Supermarket Simulator and liked it enough to mod it.

It's so fucking tedious, but I can't pull myself away once I get through the first day. burgerpain

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

I got Sandland had to pay tribute to Toriyama goku-halal, and Disco Elysium though disco doesn't look like a game style I'd like. Sea of Thieves maybe to troll with my nephews friends. Maybe Frostpunk but I want to research Frostpunk 2 see which one is right for me.

[-] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I liked the look of sand land, reminds me a lot of blue dragon funnily enough, think it's the post processing and similar font on the title curious-marx

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Square Enix fucking sucks at sales. I am not paying $22 for the anime pantyshot sequel to Yoko Taro's Wild Ride.

[-] GunslingerSky@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Heaven will be mine is on sale so I'm prob gonna grab that

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 months ago

The deals seem better this year but why buy anything if I'll just play the same 3 games?

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

[-] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I might snag something else before the sale is over, but I got a DLC for 100% Orange Juice, The Excavation of Hobs Barrow, and Heaven Will Be Mine. I've been trying to get more into the games that are storytelling experiences rather than more time consuming stuff.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Bought Resident Evil Revelations 2 as I haven't played it before. Interested to see how it plays, it always seemed like a weirdly off-beat spinoff to me
