How many NWN:EE DLC can you buy??

The only NWN worth buying is the original Diamond Edition.

Correct.

DO NOT GIVE THE GRIFTERS AT BEAMDOG MONEY

didn't lilura endorse NWNEE?

didn't lilura endorse NWNEE?

She's a basic bitch hyped up by thirsty Dexers. She also thinks Diablo is an RPG.

First time -75% for WL1 remaster.

First time -75% for WL1 remaster.

Heard this release was maligned in a few ways at launch, but has been partially fixed through updates.

Wise old men of the codex, is this worth it now?

 

[Catacombs]

Titanfall 2 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237970/Titanfall_2/

Is the EA bullshit required to play multiplayer?

 

[V_K]

So is anything exciting on sale this time?

It's required for the single player too,you have to run Origin at the same time as Steam as far as I know

 

[deuxhero]

The game's sever is also being DDOSed by a butthurt cheater while EA refused to do anything about it last I heard, so it's unplayable even without taking into account Origin bullshit.

On my wishlist I have (at a discount):

1 game at 75%
2 games at 60%
3 games at 50%
1 game at 40%
1 game at 30%
1 game at 25%
1 game at 15%
1 game at 10%

And yet only ONE of these discounts places the game below $5.

But I'm more interested in the "Forge Your Fate" event, which has a very familiar set of choices: Action, RPG, Survival, Strategy, Simulation, Sports, Horror, Open-World, Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk, Mystery/Detective, Adventure, Space, Roguelike and Anime Hentai.

Which to pick...?

Which to pick...?

You complete all of them and get a sticker for each. It's not actually a choice at all, although some of the text was kind of amusing

 

[Luka-boy]

I bought:



Which should last me a loooong time.

Also bought The Masterpiece for a buddy:

 

[ferratilis]

The only game I'm getting in this sale. With it, my collection of Build engine games (the ones that are worth playing and replaying that is) is complete. Luckily, Duke Nukem Atomic edition can still be bought DRM free online (the version on Steam sucks), Shadow Warrior Classic is free, and Blood Fresh Supply on Steam is pretty decent. Build engine games galore.

 

[lukaszek]

everyone should have some fun with titanfall. Its unique experience, shows that shooters can bring something new to the table

 

[Thac0]

I grabbed myself quite a lot, 15 games for 44€. Good sale for me.
Had a bit of a craving for CYOAs and playbooks after Suzerain blueballed me with 5 hours of gameplay for 8€ and a shitty last chapter.

The haul:

Spoiler

All 4 of the Sorcery playbooks
2 Fighting Fantasy playbooks (Forest of Doom and Caverns of the Snow Witch)
The Guild Collection
Warbanners as an indie tactical rpg
Demon's Rise since the dev made like 5 different tactical rpgs and I wanted to try one
Swords and Sorcery Underworld since I need more blobbers
Ascension to the Throne to play some ancient slavjank
And one JRPG to top it off in Curse of the Great Curry God

So far I've got Wasteland 3, Walking Dead Final Season and Ass Creed Origins. Might get Ion Fury and Grimwah, although I've never completed a blobber in my life. Kind of interested in Detroit: Become Human, but it's not cheap enough yet.

A few questions, if you don't mind:
SoulCaliber VI or Tekken 7?
Would Grimwah be a good first blobber? If not, pls recommend
Is Drakensang: River of Time actually good? Or just good compared to Drakensang?
I'm loving NFS Heat, but I'm coming to the end, does Forza Horizon 4 compare well? Is the drive-feel at all similar?

 

[Hobo Elf]

I liked the fake CYOA stuff. Some of the writing was genuinely funny. Got the Gorilla Scientist badge. Some of the banner art was quite nice as well. Think this might be my favorite sales gimmick so far. As for game sales I just picked up Sanctus Reach + DLC. Dunno if there's anything else I wanna get but we'll see if I can find something.

 

[Rahdulan]

So, let's see. Sale lasts until the 8th of July, next Humble Choice comes out on the 6th.

Motherfucker.

First of all Steam version of the River of time might not even run on a modern PC. I literally check everyday if they released it on GOG (what's the hold up Dammit??). And yes as far as 3D party based RPGs go, its good.

Nothing thrills you more than being the first to set foot on a floating continent or diving into the depths of a lost city. Your archeologist friends say you should spend less time punching Nazis and more time dusting grains of sand off femurs. They’re going to be dusting grains of your foot out of their ass if they don’t get off your back about this stuff.

I personally love Soulcalibur 6, and wrote about it during the last steam sale.

It depends what your priorities are, though. Tekken 7 no doubt has a larger playerbase, its online population even several years after release still has numbers that are comparable to Guilty Gear Strive, which was released recently and was the biggest fighting game released on PC to date. The fact that it can still sport those numbers after all this time means you'll likely never have trouble finding a match online, and probably plenty of people at your skill level even if you're just starting out.

SC6, on the other hand, as a newbie online you're going to be fighting plenty of tough opponents right out of the gate. Even when it was at its peak population matchmaking would still put you up against people at much higher rank. If you can still have fun despite that, or if you're more interested in single-player offerings, I say go for it. There is still a dedicated community for it and I don't think I've ever had trouble finding a match. It's far from a 'dead' game, unlike a lot of discord fighters. But it's essentially a 'done' game and it would not surprise me if there are no further DLCs or character additions around the corner.

Pirated Subnautica last week to see if I would like it. I loved it and hoped it would go on sale soon. And it has, so I bought it.

 

[Catacombs]

Subnautica

That good?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Not much really leaping out at me. Thinking about grabbing the Erannorth DLC but the discount's only 20%. Thinking about the Quantic Dream bundle since that'd come out to $12 each for the games which sounds alright for some big budget CYOA. Only thing I'm almost 100% going to buy is the dregs of the NWN EE DLC.
