I do both, I just have fun with the Choice Of/Hosted Games ones too. Even though a lot of them veer into "Having fun laughing at it" territory. The exception are the Kevin Gold games which actually do have pretty good C&C and relatively difficult skillchecks (Some of these are guilty of having really forgiving checks so you can just sorta bumble your way through. Kevin Gold's games you usually have to specialize and focus to pull off the good shit later)

Great, now I wait until the last few days of the sale if anything better pops up elsewhere or on Humble Monthly. I didn't even realize how past impulse buys I am these days.

It's like I woke up to find the Steam thread switched to a mysterious dead language or something.
Except I didn't even go to bed.

What the fuck guys.

Surprisingly little on my wishlist that's on sale. Might get Quantum Break just because it's Remedy, and maybe try my hand at some cheap JRPGs since I always feel like flirting with that genre, but that's about it. I'm assuming Ryse isn't worth the $6 just for Crytek pretties?

Be forewarned that Quantum Break is Remedy's most cinematic game to date. I tried it for a few hours and couldn't handle it.

Yeah that's why I haven't gotten it before, but their redhead in skinny jeans game coming soon has me kind of wanting to give it a go and $10 is a decent price. I'm not sure though, we'll see. The TV show sections would probably drive me nuts.

WTF Devil May Cry V has a 34% dscount but the older DMC HD collection isn't even on sale?

BTW South Park Fractured but Whole has a 90% discount,biggest one so far,is this one worth it?Played the first and liked it but I thought it was a bit short and without any replayability so wasn't worth the full price.What's the Kodex Kritical Konsensus on the second one?




PS. Who the fuck made that stupid Summer Sale Race metagame,this thing is more complicated than half the games on sale

This had my eye too but I see it requires going through UPlay, also the game is said to have more of the terrible timed button mashing sequences that I hated from the 1st.

Do NOT buy Quantum Break, it's fucking awful. Thank god I was able to refund that piece of shit.

If you need more convincing than that, my biggest issues with the game were:

1) Story is dogshit
2) Gunplay is fucking horrendous and basically just filler that doesn't fit this game type at all
3) Cutscenes are boring as fuck and way too long
4) Exploration/traversal gameplay is really tiresome and boring, designed to be easy enough for a braindead monkey to solve

And this is coming from someone who actually likes this kind of game, for example I liked Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls (Detroit: Become Human was trash though). Oh and I love science-fiction.

I repeat do not waste your money on this garbage game

Isn't Dark Souls Remastered supposed to be trash? I heard it was really buggy.

it's not buggy. The problem with Remastered is that it split the playerbase on PC, effectively killing multiplayer.
Otherwise it's alright. Stable 60 fps too.
