The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Vorark]

Didn't realise that was available to pre-order, on to the wishlist it goes. I wish they'd port DQ8 already, it's the only JRPG I've ever really loved

I believe they will. My hope is that by people purchasing XI and showing the retards at SE that there's a market for classic jRPGs on Steam, they'll bring MOAR.

I believe they will

It's odd to me that they haven't yet. I've emulated it several times and it looks great when downsampled, really no need for a graphical rework.

I have the base game Endless Legend. Are any of the DLCs particularly good?

Does anyone know is steam link is worth purchasing? Since it is available for 2.5$ on summer sale. If you have personal experiences do let me know

It works and does what it advertises. If you have a lone TV in another room and a network connection you can Stream right from your PC and play with either Controller or Keyboardouse via WiFi. Whether it's "worth" it is up to you, do you need such a thing?

There was this Costner movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119925/

And before that, there was the book: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman

Upon which the movie is likely based.

If you like the base game then the DLC completes the experience and adds in a lot more depth and new factions.

All DLCs are good
The three DLCs that contain new races are Shadows (stealthy Forgotten assholes), Shifters (bipolar seasonal dependant Allayi) and Tempest (sea abominations Morgawr) which come with new essential mechanics like espionage, naval battles and stuffs. Guardians unlocks OP as shit 1 man army divine creatures and IIRC you must own this DLC to access legendary buildings. The Lost Tales adds a bunch of new quests for minor factions that you assimilated (not sure if all factions have extra quests though), and Echoes of Auriga is just extra new tracks for the OST, absolute music though. I'd say if you enjoyed the game, get all of them, but if you only need important contents then the first 4 cover all of those.

My purchases at the beginning of this sale. Finished DOTO and Finding Paradise (why the fuck did I play it immediately after watching Paddington 2 ), got STEINS;GATE thanks to Latelistener's recommendation but apparently it's +20 hours long so im saving it for later when I have more time. The Evil Within 2 received a refund once it kicked me to the open world.

Got these with that refund money, still got some funbucks left for future purchases



Overall pretty happy with the sale, I thought I wouldn't buy anything because everything in my wishlist's got shit discount, but having weeks off due to injury resulted in a lot of free time to surf the store, got a bunch of games I truly wanna play and some others go into wishlist so I can anticipate bigger discount next sales

Isn't that Kojima guy doing a post-apo mailman simulator 'game'?

Man, can you imagine the cutscenes he'll choke the simple act of delivering post with?

 

[unfairlight]

I got Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I tried playing it with a pirated copy once and got tired, I'll play it proper this time around, eventually.

 

[bloodlover]

What should I get from this sale between Styx and Dishonored 1? I am playing Thief 2 like crazy these days and it got me in the mood for more sneaking around. Also, are the extra DLCs for Dishonored worth the extra 7 euros?

 

[PulsatingBrain]

I enjoyed Dishonored more, but if it's for the pure sneaking Styx is probably a better bet.

As for the DLC, I haven't played them and will probably grab them myself

 

[PulsatingBrain]

lol get rekt, Portugal

 

[Astral Rag]

Bought Fran Bow, Soma and Dragon's Dogma.

 

[Ivan]

all worthwhile titles

Styx is more sneaking than Dishonored, but I like both. You can play Dishonored without powers and it turns into a decent stealth game on highest difficulty.

 

[Latelistener]

A friend gifted me Beholder. That's probably everything I'll get on this sale, 'cause I'm broke.
Maybe that's for the best, I still have a huge backlog.

Styx for pure stealth experience.

Dishonored masquerades as a stealth title but it's really power fantasy (imo better than Dark Messiah w/excellent movement and fun maneuvering abilities)

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I ended up buying Ghostory that I mentioned earlier, as well as this:



Buying text adventures in 2018.

 

[Astral Rag]

Are there any good typing games on Steam besides Typing of the Dead?

 

[funkadelik]

Just picked this up because it looks interesting. It has puzzles, stealth, adventure, and was developed by one dude.



I also picked up:

There was this Costner movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119925/

I watched the movie many times growing up and remembered enjoying it.

Dishonored is as stealth as you want it to be. If you play it like Thief then it plays like Thief. If you don't, then it doesn't.

 

[Latelistener]

If you play it like Thief then it plays like Thief.

It doesn't. Stealth is very basic and has too few tools to play with. Corvo The Choking Maniac.
