Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!

All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.

Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.

[–] pscamodio@feddit.it 4 points 1 day ago

Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.

It's 40% off now https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/17015-buy-clair-obscur-expedition-33-pc-steam/

I purchased a bunch of dlc for Train Sim World (tsw). I only buy dlc for tsw when its on sale, save a small fortune that way.

Bonus savings if you can get one of the bundles on sale for double discount. I got £150 of dlc for about £55. Yeah dlc is super expensive for tsw but it doesn't go out of date and nor is it needed for a multiplayer mode so why rush?

Been after the expansion pack for Germany and the Preston Route for ages.

Train Sim World® 5: West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: DB BR 101 Loco Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg - Miltenberg Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr: Duisburg - Bochum Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagen - Finnentrop Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: DB BR 363 Loco Add-On

but it doesn't go out of date

That's not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Classic is a little different from modern tsw, it could have been retired when it became Classic but they kept it on. How long on total was that dlc available for? And I don't believe its been turned off just not available to buy or officially supported?

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed

[–] caseofthematts@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Bought it anyways now. Have played both star wars games often enough, so need a new soulslike now

And no discount for the DLC or complete edition

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I'm planning to buy:

As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.

Any other recommendations?

[–] isyasad@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pseudoregalia is insanely good

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!

Like Pseudoregalia, it's another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I have it on my wishlist! But have to cut the spending somewhere haha. I'd also like to get Cyber Knights, A Hat In Time, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, Skin Deep and Soulash 2 - but it's just too much money with so little time for gaming now (especially with keyboard + mouse for the latter two).

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I've been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I really enjoyed Azaran, Gravity Storm and Always With You in the NextFest.

[–] dzsimbo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

A Game About Digging a Hole looks to be a fun game to play while your legs fall asleep on the toilet. Only 20% off, but it's a sub $5 game.

Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS'd. It'll smooth out.

Yup! Most of my wishlist is on sale.

Animal Well for me and teardown for my kids. So far…

[–] mohab@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.

I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.

I'm also looking at Spirit X Strike. It's too reactive for my taste, so I haven't decided yet, but I want to support the developer.

Maybe I'll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don't remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.

They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.

Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.

Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I'm picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it's regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I'm pleased to see it at $10.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for 'three big games' of content is a steal, though.

It isn't that 'successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep' is exactly unheard of - it's a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn't have been if they'd only spent half as much making it, and so we won't be getting a PoE3 :-(

[–] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.

~~Bah. Bought Animal Well for $18 last night, but just saw now it was included in a bundle for $7.~~

Edit: praise steams refund policy

Edit2: Jesus christ I'm an idiot

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.

Am I missing something? That's the only bundle I found for animal well...

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry:(( I'm dumb.

I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.

I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).

Sorry I got your hopes up :(

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

No worries, just wanted to check if I'm missing something.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I just finished animal well. Fuck $80 games, its a $200 game.

$18 is totally worth it. Try not to look anything up unless you have to.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Not saying it isn't, but if somebody tells me it should be less than half of what I'm seeing it for I might as well ask if I'm missing something, no?

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though... I get it but... It's so expensive...

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

So... who's getting what?
