I might get War of the Chosen as well if it gets that kind of reduction. Then again I might not, I'm not sure it's worth it without Long War.

Yeah. I didn't even play LW2 but I did use the LW studio's extra character classes. I can't go back from that.

 

[Don Peste]

Fallout 4 Season Pass -%66 off please Todd be good please.

If I'm not that lucky: Torment Tides of Numenera or Tyranny. Or maybe I should just wait for them to appear in a Humble Monthly.
Indies: Ittle Dew 2, KeeperRL, The Darkside Detective. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil could be fun too.

What will actually happen: Disappointment + Selling the event cards for $0.05 each.

Not bad for 14 years of service. I'm certain the bulk of my purchases were done during the golden age of sales, circa '10-'13.

Cebulak is a type of man who is full of behaviors taken from the village. Cebulak is usually envious and jealous. No one can ever use bulbs, even by finishing a higher school of onions and garlic.

Obscurably about the Pole about envious, jealous, excessively mean behavior, often with tendencies to thievery, rudeness. Definition of the general life, road and financial chama.
Synonym: beetroot, scomer, villager.

Nier Automata

I wanted to love this game but it is a fucking slog. The first hour is garbage, then it gets fun until the dullness of "open world checklist" sets in. Boss fights are more endurance tests than skill tests. I guess 60 hours later some magical secret is supposed to happen that makes it all worth it but I lost interest in a tenth that time. YMMV.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Think I'm going to get AssCreed: Desert if its 50% or more off. Its the first AC game I've wanted to play since getting burned out on AC2 5-6 years ago.

It's pretty good but you need to have a really strong pc to play it.
No AMD processors allowed.
Strong single-core performance is required.

They changed some things for the better, but it's still repetetive and total failure from storytelling perspective (like always with asscreeds).

I have a pretty decent PC so I'm not worried about that.

The repetitive nature of the games does make me a little leery.

The repetitive nature of the games does make me a little leery.

Origins ditched a lot of the typical openworld side activities and collectibles (map hoovering) in favour of questing and NPC relashuns. I liked my map hoovering better tbh. Sure it was repetitive but that suited me just fine after a hard day's work, when I just wanted to switch off my brain, romp around the Carribean or London beating up baddies, doing some mindless side activities and collecting muh loot.

The problem with questing is you have to actually care about the world and NPCs to be engaged and in Origins you just fucking don't. The world is paper thin, the NPCs are vapid and retarded and the dialogues will bore you witless. When someone asks you for the nth-time to help him with a stray cat or stolen family heirloom you feel like throwing your keyboard through the window.

And Odyssey is supposed to go even further and become a full-blown Witcher 3 style RPG. With Ubisoft level writing and world building it's gonna be a total disaster.

Haven't played Asscreed Egypt yet but maybe you need to stop and consider that the series isn't for you if you got burned out on the best one.

 

[Latelistener]

Who are you trying to fool?
You're going to buy games with biggest discounts and will never play them.
Meanwhile, your wishlist will become even larger.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Few years ago it would be true.
These days? Nah.

So summer Steam sale beginning tomorrow. What do we want?

The only thing I want is at least 70% off from War of the Chosen.

I have a "soft" wishlist of 25 titles. I mean, nothing too pressing. Nor too essential, actually. If the discounts are good...

I might get War of the Chosen as well if it gets that kind of reduction. Then again I might not, I'm not sure it's worth it without Long War.

WOTC is totally worth it even without LW2. Many of the new mods don't work without it.

I'll consider it indeed.
It's just that I haven't even tried XCOM 2 vanilla: LW1 is SO superior to vanilla that for the second iteration, for me, vanilla wasn't even an option.
I'm very dubious I could enjoy the game as much without the modifications from these guys...

LW2 is nothing like LW1, it's cancer, avoid.

 

[Zed]

if Vampyr is like 30% off I'll buy it. other than that I can't think of a single game I'd like to buy.

The First Men, real-time 4x strategy from the developers of Overfall (remember? The rougelike RPG consulted by MCA):

• Customization of the first man and woman with infinitely varied combinations.
  
• A character-driven gameplay. Body, Mind, Soul, Self, and Heart attributes with hundreds of traits and abilities offers a deep strategic gameplay, a rich and enormously diverse progress of characters to enjoy.
  
• Deep and immersive exploration. A vast fantasy world full of wonder rewards exploration as you traverse, discover, interact and learn more about the multitude of races you will encounter during your adventures.
  
• Settlement management with a tremendous variety of structures to build, upgrades and technologies to discover, and items to craft.
  
• Expeditions in which each character is unique and carries his or her bonuses and/or disadvantages, gains experience, learns new abilities with a memory system, and progress while obtaining new traits and collecting shiny items around the world.
  
• A unique real-time combat system using mechanics of a complex card game. Each subject you encounter, even a pack of wolves or a swarm of spiders, have their own cards to use.
  
• Detailed and stylish cartoony visuals set a distinct "fantasy-comedy" tone, reinforced by atmospheric animations, sound effects, and music.
  
• Different game modes for all players, scenarios with unique stories and victory conditions, skirmish maps for tailored competitions and random maps to add procedurally generated fun into the game, all available in both singleplayer and multiplayer sessions.
  
• Workshop support and an in-game map editor for crafting unique stories.
