The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Don Peste]

I remember how much I enjoyed your graphs last year.

 

[Anthedon]

A lot of CivIV and some turn-based RPGs gets you this, weird.

 

[Axel_am]

No wonder there are times I feel like a toxic piece of shit animal.

Here's another of mine then

Apparently I played new games more than an average user, and 73 games in total, while average user plays only 4 games throughout a year Also:

Where's the difference between turn-based combat and turn-based tactics?

Tactics. One has strategic thinking, the other is the world's slowest zerg rush.

 

[Axel_am]

You are right guys. This MOBA grind is absolutely disgusting. No more MOBA's until I get a new rig.

 

[Gostak]

To whoever wanted all the webs:
This goes counter-clockwise from top:
Pirates 2.75
Roguelite 3
Stealth 3
Space 3.4
Action Roguelike 0.8
Grand Strategy 2.75

During Winter Sale I saved some of a paysafecard remaining value by picking up R6 Raven Shield and Sector Six.
From my collection I have recently been playing: Streets of Rogue, some Heat Signature and a tiny bit of Delta V.

So, now 2023:

Looter Shooter 1.6
Roguelite 3.5
Grand Strategy 1.5
Space 2.9
Detective 2.4
Western 0.6

Looter Shooter 1.6

Care to recommend some of them?

it seems that Rise of Flight is just about done getting converted to the newer IL-2 engine, although the price is a bit *much*

War Thunder devs: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Not sure what to make of this one. The base game is free, yet there's also a 90-cent DLC to add content.

More than that, there's an upcoming title called '100 Capitalist Cats' which suggests further monetization.

Is this a gateway drug?

They make their money by using your system to mine bitcoin. Probably.

Final fantasy combat VS Xcom maybe?

Sweet. Another Cooking game. I always wanted to learn Asian cooking through comedic cooking games.

 

[Gostak]

Looter Shooter 1.6

Care to recommend some of them?

Actually it's not really my genre and I only have one applicable title in my Steam library which I think I picked up with some
"loose change" on a prepaid payment option I use there so it would not go to waste.


The Sector Six demo appeared fine enough for that.
Cool music and distinct artstyle and a constant flow of new instant gratification loot to potentially mod/ upgrade your "ship" with.

Other than that? Heat Signature might count in a way and most certainly the sweet, sweet mod
Doom Infinite

I appreciate cool loot more in roguelikes like Incursion.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Valve developed and published.

 

[Doctor Gong]

Winter Sale Started, and I already spent some coin.

Outer Wilds -- Echoes of the Eye
Return of the Obra Dinn
Myst -Masterpiece Edition
Riven

 

[GloomFrost]

RoboCop is 30% off! Not too shabby.

 

[Modron]

Nothing I really want is marked down all that much probably will just grab Psychonauts 2, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, and some cheap adventure games. More money for Kingsvein and LaD: Infinite Wealth.

 

[Azalin]

I see Solasta Lightbringers Edition is now 60% off,it was 59% off during the previous sale,57% off during the Black Friday sale,56% off during the summer sale.
Now if they keep the same pace it will take approximately 15 sales to get to 75% off or about 3 years to get there

 

[Infinitron]

All-time lowest prices:

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I see that the sales reached a new level of pitiful shitiness and my wishlist is now full of random numbers like -13, -19 or -24%, wtf. The only step left before seasonals increasing prices are fractions.

 

[karoliner]

Not even 4 months and is already 50% off

 

[Spike]

Really tempted over Wo Long. Wondering if I don't nab it now I'll have to wait a Whoah Long time again before it's on sale, and lower. It's slightly more % (43%) off than Nioh 2 (40%) which released in 2021. However, Nioh 1 released in 2017 and has a fat sale (77%). I enjoy these games so much I will probably grab it but it makes me wonder. Would get the deluxe for the DLC expansions.

Also getting Caves of Lore (for sure, half off), Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (half off), Bleak Faith: Forsaken (only 25% but figure it's like 4 dudes and indie so unlikely to go much lower in future and I've been meaning to play it...though maybe I could still wait), Hi-Fi Rush (also only 25%, but I kinda want to play it soon though maybe I could wait as well...). I may have just talked myself out of half of the items in my cart.
