1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Gris is a fun afternoon jaunt. I just picked up Outer Wilds finally, too. Looking forward to it quite a bit after reading a lot of reviews.

Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.

Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.

[–] cecilkorik 28 points 3 days ago (3 children)

KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.

I think I'm going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

Remember you can get things refunded if you don't end up liking a game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I enjoyed the remake well enough. It's nice that they added in some of the quality of life improvements from the later games and an updated zero gravity system (you can fly in 3 dimensions like you can in DS2).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

uh, I was just about to buy the dead space based on your message here but then I saw it has denuvo, so no buy :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah denuvo is such a buzzkill. I used to dislike it on performance grounds alone.... But dude, when I went to play dead space on a plane for the first time, and that lil fucker told me it required internet to allow single player gameplay? 😤 fuuuuuck that. Never again.

Lossless Scaling. Worth it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Alright already have it but for my VR bros, Into the Radius is half price at 15 right now. It's has its own story but it's heavily inspired by stalker. Probably the best shooter/scavenger game on VR period.

Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.

I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.

I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.

Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Picked up: Supreme Commander Collection, Rider's Republic, Rakugaki, The Stone of Madness, Look Outside, and Sol Cesto.

Not a bad sale imo...

I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Split Fiction is worth the MSRP. Ideally it’s great if you can get it on a discount, but this is one of the few games I’d pay full price for. My spouse and I loved it.

I got gnome jigsaw puzzles and the frog DLC for against the storm

[–] eezeebee 4 points 2 days ago

Didn't go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:

  • Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
  • ATLYSS (Action RPG)
  • Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
  • Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
  • Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
  • Anodyne (Action Adventure)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!

All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.

Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.
