The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

In Battlefield there's a really great feature where it's a different game so I don't have to play with CoD scrubs like you.

 

[Konjad]

Playing CoD and BF... WTF is wrong with you people.

 

[Curratum]

CoD is an amazing arcade action shooter with just enough of a "war / military" film of paint on it to feel "cool" and entertaining.

Retards like Nutria think they have the intellectual higher ground playing BField, while in reality BField is a duller, slower, more boring version of Call of Duty, much like ARMA is an even duller, even slower version of BField. For all its pretenses for more realism and more entertaining action, BField is even more bullet spongy and disgusting than CoD, with spawns that are just as shitty and mechanics that are just as retarded. The chief difference is that in BF you get to run for 20 seconds until you get back into the action, and in CoD you have to run 5.

Edit: If you want a good "serious", "realistic" military shooter that is still an actual game and is entertaining to play, go play Rising Storm 2 Vietnam.

This thing looks promising:

There certainly appears to be more to it than to similar lo-fi, PSX-styled horror games which tend to boil down to couple dozen minutes of running around, maybe running from something or other (see the sort of stuff oft covered on Alpha Beta Gamer). One hopes for a proper survival horror.
And it does look rather nice and the setting is one that I'd love to see more of in horror or horror-adjacent games - think of From's Kuon or of Cosmology of Kyoto.

It also reminded me of this:

A game I first heard of years ago on the old Sword of Moonlight forum. There was a fan translation in progress then but it never materialised.

On the last day of the Steam sale, I bit the bullet and got the following games:

Life is Strange: True Colors
Psychonauts 2
Mass Effect Trilogy Legendary Edition. For this one, I already have the disk copy on the Xbox 360 so it is more getting an up-to-date version of the series as well as a backup.

The previous month before, pre-ordered Expeditions: Rome.

[Tyranicon]

Showa 66, Japan has bought out most of the United States with its strong economic power. A surge of immigration has firmly planted Japanese culture within the American continent. Two cultures are rapidly amalgamated, although conflicts are inevitable, citizens gradually adapt to a life never imagined as time goes by.

Can't tell if this is satirical commentary on how the US colonized Japan culturally in the post war era, or the decline of western civilization.

With zombies.

 

[Nutria]

Can someone please invent a virus that kills everyone under the age of 25?

 

[Anthedon]

The premise looks interesting, also:

Also giant drills because "anime". Also, this gif, in case you missed it. Or didn't want to see...

The Youtubers' fad is certainly going on for too long.

It's a Chinese-made game apparently taking the piss out of both the US and Japan by a Indie developer based in the Corona Capital of Wuhan: https://www.nekcomgames.com/

This one might hold actual promise besides being meme-bait.

It always was and will remain the best one. The last one not to be tainted by always-online DRM, endless DLCs, terrible pricing etc. The worst thing is that the new trilogy is quite good, but the way release, marketing, and post launch support have been handled is beyond retarded. For all three games.
