Multi-headed Cow
Arcane
Still haven't pulled the trigger on anything on Steam itself yet (Got the NWNEE and PoE2 DLC in my cart and I'll likely snag them, though since I bought all this shit elsewhere I'm leaning a bit more toward knocking NWNEE on the head) but I did end up scooping up some black Friday garbage.
Picked up Prey Mooncrash for $5 from Humble, using the coupon from the CoC fuckup. Loved Prey 2017 and heard good things about the DLC so that should be nice.
Picked up Batman Arkham Knight super all-DLC edition for $3 from CDkeys. The other bamhams are decent $5-10 beat 'em ups and apparently this one is functional now. Heard it has far, FAR too much Batmobile in it but for $3 with all the DLC why the fuck not, I'll be hard pressed not to get a few enjoyable hours out of it.
Picked up Middle Earth Shadow of War super all-DLC edition for $13 from CDkeys. Little on the high end price-wise but the first one was a fun sandboxy thing and even though I heard this one had loot boxes and shit, apparently they've removed them. And since it's got all the DLC rolled in too the $13 sounded alright.
Picked up Mortal Kombat X super all-DLC edition for $4 from CDkeys. Not much of a fan of fighting games but when they get that cheap I usually have enough fun just doing the story. It's the kind of thing where it's worth more to some people if they actually intend to play multiplayer but for casual retards like myself I can button mash and it's the equivalent of a fun afternoon on an arcade cabinet.
Picked up Injustice 2 super all-DLC edition for $8 from CDkeys. Same sorta situation as Mortal Kombat, some cheap supposedly well regarded fighting game action I most likely will play for a few hours and enjoy and then set aside.
Barring something showing up unexpectedly that'll be it, and since the Christmas sale is usually the same as the Thanksgiving sale that'll probably do me for a long bit. Probably will do some more wretched spending in a few weeks since Artifact sounds good and I'm sorely tempted to grab Dusk when it launches and goes on sale (And Grimoire for that matter, if Cleve does his $10 sale (And the Battle Bros DLC of course, which warrants immediate D1P)) but if the last few years are anything to go by I'll probably coast until the next summer sale in 5-7 months barring bundles. If anyone else wants some of that shit from CDkeys, make sure you click their "Black Friday" banner on the front page. If you search up the games you'll see their non-sale price listed, though if you click through you'll actually be offered the sale price. Injustice 2 wasn't a black Friday special though so you will have to search that one. Ultimate and not legendary.
Gotta love the yearly cheap mole-popping season. Speaking of which, hiding out in offline mode totally worked for CoC. It was revoked today but I'm still plugging away at it. Only in chapter 5-6 though. Fucking Humble. On one hand I appreciate how there's been no combat and it's all based around what you do/pick yourself and your character's stats and skills. On the other hand it's hard to gauge how much those stats/skills really matter. I've only seen one grayed out dialog option based on not having a high enough skill and I've only flubbed picking one lock. Other cases where a skill wasn't high enough may not really show up though (No situations where DM tells you to make a spot check, you say the result, then the DM coughs and moves along). The actual execution of the game may not be that hot (Particularly if there isn't much/any C&C based on your actions or character's skills) but I still appreciate how it hasn't devolved into combat. At least yet.
