I’ve bought a bunch of Wadjet Eye games; Unavowed, Gemini Rue, Primordia, Strangeland, Shardlight, Technobabylon and The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow.

And aside from that, Return of the Obra Dinn.

I’ve already played Gemini Rue, and I’m finishing Unavowed.

RaineV1,

I played Primordia ages ago. It's such an interesting world, and the voice acting is top notch.

Chobbes,

I just want Logan Cunningham to whisper me to sleep every night.

I got This is the Police a while back but finally installed it. Surprisingly engaging given how it forces you to be a corrupt and shitty cop to survive. Feels like copaganda, but thankfully I can separate fiction from reality.

I’m rounding off the year with The Last of Us Part I and so far it lives up to my expectations (and even more).

I’ve also been playing some PSVR2 recently, I recently completed Moss and just started RE: Village (and it seems I’ve almost got my “VR legs”, I wasn’t really feeling nauseated after the first session).

Titan,

Did you watch the show before playing? I did, and I’m wondering if it is worth it to play once you know the whole story

any1th3r3,

No, I didn’t want to spoil myself at all, so I’m not sure how the two compare tbh. I would imagine there are still some slight differences and/or you might want to play on a more challenging difficulty if that’s your thing?

conciselyverbose,

Do you like stealth?

The story is fine, and they do a good job mixing it into the gameplay, but it's not one of my favorite games for the story. (On higher difficulties) It's an excellent stealth game that has really well designed encounters with very believable AI and uses resource scarcity to make every action have weight.

Titan,

Kinda, might try it tonight

Squad is definitely one of them! Also the Battlefield Collection is on 89% sale (only includes the ones since 2011 tho)

I've been a bit burnt out lately, but fully agree with Squad. My most played steam game by a fair bit. Love the ICO so much.

Been putting a lot of hours recently into Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. It's been a while since we've seen a really high quality 40k game. Most of the popular (and good) Warhammer games take place in Age of Sigmar and not 40k. (Boltgun being a notable recent exception here)

But damn, Rogue Trader really hits the nail right on the head so far. I've never played Dark Heresy tabletop so the ruleset takes a little getting used to for someone primarily familiar with Pathfinder rules, but once you understand the basics the rest of the game falls right into place. The lore is spot on and the adventure is fun and interesting. Highly recommend to tabletop fans and Warhammer fans each separately, and if you're both like I am, it's a must buy.

I know very little about 40k or Warhammer in general, but want to give Rogue Trader a shot. I've read a bunch of positive comments about the game, but since it's Owlcat, I'll wait some months for patches to fix the game.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

I've only just recently gotten into Act 2 but so far I haven't come across a single bug, actually. Seems very polished. It does require a bit of a Warhammer primer before coming in if you want to know what's going on though. The game does a good enough job of explaining things that are important within the game but a lot of the context and fine details will escape you if you don't know at least a little about the 40k setting at large.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

I was recently "burned" with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which is still in rough shape, after all this time (I think there's some fuckery going on with the publisher, where Owlcat can't update the game anymore), so I'll definitely give it some time. Rogue Trader might also be in a similar boat as BG3, where the later Acts have more bugs, since those weren't in any playtests or betas, but that's just what I read.

I'm also fine with not getting everything, so that isn't an issue. All I know of 40k is basically through various memes on the internet, throughout the years, so basically nothing.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with Kingmaker. It got dropped like a hot potato in favor of Wrath of The Righteous, which is to this day still receiving updates and is, in my opinion, a stellar game. Kingmaker for sure got the short end of the stick though.

HarrySlaughter, do games w [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale?

I already owned it, but Banished is on sale for $6.50. I have played so many hours of this game and can’t get enough! Once I get bored of my existing setup, I just start over with a new village.

eupraxia, do gaming w If you could gift a videogame to anyone, what would you give to whom? And why?

Outer Wilds, to my estranged family. I think they could use a new religion and that game’s probably a better place to start.

DingoBilly, do games w What's up with Epic Games?

Nothing really. Just pick whichever platform is cheapest/where your friends.

It’s just another competitor in the games marketplace. Some people like it, some people don’t. It’s the same as with any other brand/item.

bouh, do games w What's up with Epic Games?

Epic is the worst of the 3 platforms for a user. It is a drm like steam, but with less games on it, and even less optimized (so even more wasted resources and time loading useless advertising).

Steam has it that is makes game run on Linux smoothly, and the biggest library of games. Gog is drm free. Epic has absolutely nothing a user may want, except for free games so that you are now captive of their shitty platform.

AustralianSimon,
@AustralianSimon@lemmy.world avatar

This. Steam also offers reviews, achievements, workshop, communities, groups, streaming, etc, etc

Chriswild,

Epic doesn’t have to be as good as Steam; it has to be better than Steam. People don’t up and leave platforms they like for new platforms for no reason. Epic can take a smaller cut on games but if that doesn’t carry to the end user why should I care.

Buddahriffic,

At this point, I don’t know if Epic can get better than Steam in the ways that matter simply because they are clearly trying very hard to gain a dominant market position in ways that make it seem like they would abuse such a position, while Valve has had that dominant position for decades without abusing it. Valve is one of the few companies I trust these days. That trust is Valve’s to lose, not any other competitor’s to gain, though I am open to other adjacent providers (like I’ve got an xbox game pass sub, a ps5, and switch).

I have zero experience with epic or gog, but steam got incredibly bad lately. It’s not uncomon for it to consume 2 entire CPU cores just by animating some store page background.

bouh,

Steam has always been rather bad on performances, but epic somehow managed to do worse.

frickineh, do games w [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale?

Probably not much this time. I don’t think Dredge really falls under lesser known, but I might pick that up. I’ll probably get House Flipper 2 - the first one was one of my go-tos for destressing, so I’m hoping the sequel will fill the same niche. Otherwise, I’ve either bought most of what I’ve been looking at in previous sales or played it on gamepass/ea play.

ILikeBoobies, do games w What's up with Epic Games?

Epic gives better cuts to devs and games have to opt into DRM

Enjoy the free games if you cant afford them
