For me, I am hoping to see discounts on:

  • Steam Deck OLED
  • Expedition 33 (probably worth the full price but I am not sure if the timing based combat is for me)
  • Fantasy Life i
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

-A price for Stray that reflects its playtime.
-A price for Cyberpunk 2077 that I'm willing to pay (not sure what that is, unhelpfully)
-A good price for Balatro
-Oh and if A Hat in Time could be discounted...

Cyberpunk is 60% off on GOG right now.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

That brings it down to £20. I think I'm up for going to about £12, given that I've not played any of their other games.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Stray needs to either add more content or reduce the price.

CP2077 - I am 6 hours in but I am still not enjoying the gameplay. I might try again after completing other games in my backlog.

Just wanted to say: Expedition 33 is worth experiencing just as a work of art. If you don't vibe with the combat, they just made story mode easier in the latest patch so you can just focus on the narrative.

I personally not only found it worth paying full price for, but actually chose to upgrade to Deluxe Edition to support the devs.

Flight Simulator 2020? at a price that reflects how long I would spend with it. I'm still salty about the time it was accidentally 80% off instead of 20% and they snatched it right out of my shopping basket.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

When I saw the videos of flight sim I thought it was very interesting. Then I had a chance to try it on Game Pass, I didn't want to continue after the first takeoff. I guess I would never be a pilot.

Regarding two of your items, the Steam Deck OLED is out of stock, and last I heard Valve isn't expecting to have more until the end of summer. As for Fantasy Life i, it's been selling extremely well, over a million copies sold in its first month. I wouldn't expect to see a significant discount on it for a while.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's okay I am a very patient gamer. I can probably wait until the next summer.

The Steam Deck OLED currently appears to be in stock in my region, but unlikely to have a discount.

  • Elden ring at 50% or less
  • Some small detective games like Obra Dinn or The Observer (got those already, but anything similar)
  • Any of the other 100+ games on my wishlist at very good discounts
[–] cloudless@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

The only detective games I like are the Ace Attorney games. I am hoping to see a fully voiced Ace Attorney game.

Some small detective games like Obra Dinn or The Observer (got those already, but anything similar)

"Case of the Golden Idol" is exactly that. "Lucifer within us" is also a contender, but the story somehow doesn't feel like a full game, more like a prologue to another game.

Okami to $3.75 out of historical interest. It's not really my kind of game, but as a fan of The Wonderful 101, I'd like to trace the genealogy of the wonder-liner back to the celestial brush.

It will also be nice to own another Kamiya game.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I tried Okami back in PS2 times. It had a painfully slow start and a very long tutorial. I liked the art style but ended up dropping it forever.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, the intro is too long, but apparently the HD remaster makes it skippable.

My issue with the gameplay is two-fold: (1) I don't typically enjoy the Zelda-like, semi-open-world discovery, and (2) for a Kamiya game, combat is surprisingly too easy?

I'll probably have moderate amount of fun playing it, but I don't predict I'll hang out for the 100% after, which's why I'll wait for the historical low.

Not much out that I'm looking to play, there's some slightly older survival games that I might have a go with like valheim and enshrouded. I've been told the new Dune survival game is good, but when I asked what the hook was, I was told it was "Dune like", which doesn't do a lot for me, though if anyone has any feelings on it I'll happily listen.

There's some new factory builder that looks like satisfactory but with wave defence like factorio, I'm very interested in that but forgot the name.

I'm also interested in the new hello games game (light no fire or something) but I imagine that's a few years out yet.

I like playing games with my friends (rather than against them), and I like stuff that basically lasts as long as we want to play, survival games are great for my group because of that and 7 days to die will always be one of my faves.

Any recommendations for things I should look out for are appreciated. (already had our fill of Ark, Grounded, 7 Days, Empyrion, Minecraft)

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Basically if anything on my wish list hits my 75% or under five dollar rule I'll probably pick it up.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Final Fantasy IX, if it's cheap enough. I beat the game on PS1 but I've been itching to replay it on Steam Deck.

Maybe the Lunar remaster or Deltarune if they drop low enough, but it's kind of doubtful because they're both new.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

FF9 mods are amazing, nearly remaking the game.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Any idea if they're hard to install on Steam Deck?
