shame there's no "add genre to cart" button

It will be a step in the right direction if you can use "minus" tags -female main character -LGBQT

Dammit. What if I just want the T and not the LGBQ+?

I clicked the tags after not messing with it for more than a year and it says the last tag I applied to a game was "needs a bath". It's probably for the best that they made the requirements stricter since then.

What the hell that's wrong.

Ninja Destroyer, could I use that .gif you made of a boy riding on a turtle? I'm trying to come up with a new logo for the Golden Era production team to distinguish it from Golden Era, in the event we make another game this century after Grimoire.

Does anyone know if Total War: Three Kingdoms is a good game? I liked Shogun 2, but haven't played many of the others. If it's shit I don't want to waste $25.

'pparently not. Stick to Total Warhammer 2

 

[Burning Bridges]

I would not spend any more money on Total War games. They have been dumbed down popamole for over 10 years now.

If you want something of that sort better get Ultimate General which has a modicum of realism

Finally bought Final Fantasy XV. Can't wait to play it in 10 years or so.

Since the finale of the Steam sale draws near I thought I would plug the Dread X Collection. Each package consists of horror themed indie games and there is plenty of variety in this anthology series. Something for everyone.

My personal favorite is Chip's Tips from the third collection. So if you want to give gaben more of your money then consider giving these fellas a piece of the cake instead of an AAA dev that already have more money than they can spend.

on steam main page, "Your Store" select preferences and add the tags you want to exclude from steam and its done.

Nice. I tried this and asked Steam to ignore "LGBTQ+"

The question is only when does a game has the tag. Only when a certain number of votes is reached or just when any idiot gives the game the tag?

It is a relatively safe tag to ignore.
A game I bought had it once, and it was absolute garbage. I posted about it in the JRPG subsection.
2 other games have the tag that might not be complete trash, Timespinners and Bastard Bonds. One is a retro jump and run, the other a humorical gay tactical rpg but I have played neither.
The rest is visual novels with high homosexual intents, porn games and other useless trash.
Also it is usually coupled with a disgusting Callifornian cartoon art style. I am now almost inclined to ignore it myself after checking the tab.

A single dude can only give a game a tag when that game has very few reviews. So you do not hav

The MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories is an excellent and underrated platformer and has very serious writing.
Tacoma and Gone Home are ok for Walking Sims, but everyone knows them.
Ikenfell, which is recent, is a decent JRPG with fun combat, a bit juvenile writing which bothered me sometimes and I have to warn people about it.
Also, I see that Lucah: Born of a Dream has this tag. It's a soulslike game that I bought and started playing yesterday. I played for a couple of hours and I didn't find a single hint to include this game in this tag, but I'm still early in it. Anyway, it has very interesting gameplay and although early, I think I'll have a great time with it.

i feel like wasting money. but not quite literally. if i have to pay for a glorified torrent, i have criteria to meet:
-i must have to want to come back to it. and it has to last long. very long.
-it must offer a constant stream of patches or an extensive support from modders. preferably both.
lacking either, no game is worth its current price.

i'm open to suggestions.

Do you own Troubleshooter? Buy it, if you don't like it, you have a green light to shoot any codexer but me in their kneekaps.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

own it, devs are awesome, the game is awesome, its bugs aren't.

I thought the 2nd and 3rd volumes were much better than the first... can't wait for season 2

Some historical low deals:

AoD: Planetfall Premium is 75% off. The last DLC has good reviews: https://store.steampowered.com/sub/339108/

Overall the sale is disappointing. Not much going on in the AAA segment. No good discounts on some indie hits either.

Bought Titan Outpost solely because they guy posts here. There is not a single game I'm interested in buying or playing.

Not sure if I'm depressed or old.
