Tried the Valfaris demo, for some reason ran like dogshit on an i5 and a 4gb RX 570, like literal slowdown and 20-ish fps.

I played it recently, had no problems at all, maybe they optimized it

The real question is though, are you a Contra 3 or a Contra: Hard Corps man?

Trick question, I prefer Super Probotector

I'm neither, I mostly replay the two NES ones - Contra and Super C.

You know this one? (never played it myself)

If you were to recommend a relatively low priced JRPG in the sale to someone who hasn't really liked a JRPG in 15 years but wants to give them a go again despite himself, which would you suggest? Only one I own already is Tales of Symphonia, which I have not played. "Well go play that fuckwit" is an acceptable answer.

Do you accept Chinese game suggestions? Play Tale of Wuxia or Tale of Wuxia: The Pre-Sequel. If not:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Ys Origin
Xanadu Next
Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy IX but it’s only 20% off. Same goes for Romancing SaGa 2.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Warhammer: 40,000 Mechanicus were the games I got and it wasn’t even via Steam sale. Got both via Humble Monthly.

Yeah, same here. Was going to pull the trigger finally on Kingdom Come, but luckily it was in the monthly(don't think missing a few hours worth of DLC matters when I've already put in 20 hrs in the main game). Also glad about Surviving Mars. Mechanicus too saved a crappy last month.

I did get Bastard Bonds though from the sale.

I bought Stranger of Sword City just before end of sale. Not a JRPG per se, but a Japanese blobber that prestigious minds recommend. I like what little I've seen so far.

It goes 50% off all the time, link for ease of reference.

Bought Monolith and complete Pathfinder. Then yesterday wanted to play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory again and bought SC 1 as well with a 5 dollar discount I didn't even know I'd earned. Last time I beat Splinter Cell on PC the spotlightis at the beginning of the Abattoir weren't displayed correctly. There seem to be way more fixes now.

I don't know who recommended this but bought it during the sale and thoroughly enjoyed it. So thanks! Only took about an hour to hour-and-a-half to finish, but it had ok puzzles and good presentation and humour.



Also got West of Loathing, which also seems great so far.

edit: Seems the recommender was lightbane, so

to you!

edit2: Also seems the developer has a second similar game on the pipeline.

How are dlcs integrated into Kingdom Come? Is it one of those games in which dlcs are build inside the game like Tyranny and you need to actually start a new playthrough in order to access dlcs or they have their own menu?

When you install it, a NPC somewhere in the game will give you the quest depending on where you are(if you progressed far enough). I got the HB version which only has the tournament DLC(which I guess must have been some kind of preorder bonus since it's not something to buy). I'm about 15 hours in at level 5 though I'm just riding round exploring a lot, grinding some stats...but I understand that all the DLC together is probably a third to half of what I've played so I dunno if it's worth getting except at steep discount if you have the base game already).

I think the tournament is just a free update the game got.

Steam Recomender. Based on NN recomends games for you with switches for popularity-niche , older-newer and few filters.

Scary good for me. Pretty much recomends me games i don't have on steam but i know they are pretty fucking good. That "Niche" stuff is really really really really nice.
