Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.
If you haven’t played it already - Inscryption - by the same author - is also really good.
… and I should lay off the emdash for the rest of the night.
I can second this, wasn’t into card games when Inscryption released but I was hooked on it until completion. Excellent game.
Great game!
Huge fan of that game. Can’t wait for the second one
I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/
If you’re still considering it, you can get it for like $10-$15 on GOG. Same price of steam but DRM Free, and it’s almost always onsale.
FO4 was…okay imo. It pales in comparison to NV and 3 imo though.
As someone who couldn’t tolerate F3/NV because they paled in comparison to 1/2, I actually really enjoyed 4. It lost a lot of the engine jank and felt like a decent FPS with light RPG mechanics, wearing the aesthetics of Fallout.
Imo, FO4 did everything better than FO3, except the plot. But FO3’s plot was already kinda bland to begin with. I mean, back then… It was incredible. But not by today’s standards.
If you liked FO3 you’ll like 4.
It’s a lot stronger mechanically than 3 or NV - shooting is a lot less janky and the gun customization adds some great emergent quests.
The Boston of FO4 has its moments - a certain duck pond stands out to me in particular - but aside from Nick Valentine the questlines are largely forgettable.
Still, the core game loop is a lot of fun - go here, blow stuff up, scavenge bits to upgrade your stuff.
As a longtime Fallout fan (came for the isometric apocalypse, stayed for the 3D googie architecture) I still put 80 hours into FO4.
It’s a good fuckin’ game. It’s just competing with the legacy of a lot of other great games in the series.
Same boat man. Tough call.
Buy it, don’t play it so you keep play time under 2 hours, refund it if it turns out to be a disappointment, keep it if not!
Or just wait for the reviews, and then the next sale. These Steam sales aren’t one-off special offers, they happen a few times every year.
4, for it faults, is a wonderful framework for mods and survival playstyles.
Enjoy!
I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!
What’s the name of the game?
https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/100CozyGames
makes me think of this, but these are “free”?
I think the DLCs cost money.
is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at this point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years
Grabbed a bunch of yakuza games, been meaning to play those for a while.
I also got the Yakuza Collection just now after finshing Yakuza 0 a few weeks ago. 35 bucks for Yakuza 1 - 6 seems like a steal.
I’m installing Yakuza 0 on my steam deck now, I can’t wait!
Played most of it on my Deck and it ran well, enjoy. :)
Alright what games should I be getting this time?
But the real question is which ones will sit and gather dust in our libraries!
At least 9/10 have in the past, because my thought is that surely I will get to them in a few months well after the refund window.
I leave a few large installed games I don’t play in my library to remind me to pace my purchases. Now I’m down to 3/4 gathering dust!
That said, don’t regret any that I picked up but didn’t end up working out.
That’s the neat part, all of them!
Orange box again
It’s soooooo good. I second this.
It’s not on sale, lol. Well, it is, but on Fanatical.com.
That’s surprising. I guess the publisher didn’t get the memo?
I just bought Brotato for like $3.74, because I just finished 100%ing Vampire Survivors on my Steam Deck.
Mandatory you should own Stardew Valley by now, and his big v1.6 update finally comes out next week.
Hades is on sale for like $12.50. It’s on sale for $12.50 more than it’s not on sale, really.
Red Dead redemption 2 and two spider man games are also on sale.
Really, it’s a steam sale. Just buy everything that’s at least 40% off till you’re broke. My backlog is probably already bigger than I have years left.
Goodbye, money.
If you buy Backpack Battles you can get a copy of Slay the Spire for free … just sayin’. I mean I am totally not hoping for a lot of people to hop on Backpack Battles, so I will have a lot of people to play against forever. 😏 It has a demo, so no blind buying necessary. It is Early Access but worth every Cent in my eyes.
Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.
Ohh I played those so long ago during a really difficult time of my life, they were definitely a fun escape and the story felt well suited to a point and click.
Secret world had such a good setting. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good MMO. But damn those riddles were cool. And I had to look up most of them because they were hard and you often needed outside sources.
I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don’t think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.

cries in steam is no longer a viable store where I live

Indeed f, indeed

With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play
…which is fine. The finals is great!
I’ve been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I’m not great at team based games.
It’s a toxic hellhole
Well it’s multiplayer 🤷
Yeah sadly you can’t get away from it these days.
This is why I loved thee Demon’s Souls approach - single player game with crowd sourced miniboss AI.
It’s excellent, and I mainly play with randoms. The toxicity not so bad if you accept the BS that comes with random partners. Personally I have only dealt with some shithead teens and one guy who got mad I kept healing him. You get quitters quite a bit like in any PVP game, but it fills quickly. I have voice chat disabled 90% of the time, since pinging is in the game. The destruction is peak physics destruction in a multiplayer game, some of my favorite moments in any game have come from the pure chaos of things falling apart in the Finals. They also added a new 5v5 mode that feels way less frustrating and more casual (to me at least).
I imagine it’s even better if you’ve got a trio of well coordinated players, I’ve certainly played against some nasty trios in my 80 hours. Personally I think this is the most unique PVP shooter out right now, and it’s extremely polished for F2P.
Thanks for the detailed reply, I think I’ll give it a shot! Glad to hear they added a 5v5 mode.
Turn off voice chat and have a great time :)
snagged some chill games, Sim City 4, Unpacking, and Lego Builders
Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.
Grabbed Age of Empires II and oh my gosh it’s spectacular, great storyline, unique missions, just wow
