Boingboing, do games w The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing

Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.

dumpsterlid,

Ohh I played those so long ago during a really difficult time of my life, they were definitely a fun escape and the story felt well suited to a point and click.

I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don’t think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.

Arbic,

Secret world had such a good setting. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good MMO. But damn those riddles were cool. And I had to look up most of them because they were hard and you often needed outside sources.

Sorry but Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases next week and I won’t need to buy any other games for a while after that.

Yes, but what if you just impulse buy 5 or so games that you might want to play someday before DD2?

rickyrigatoni,

My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control.

why is my credit card balance suddenly $500?

I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away.

OO $35 for every Yakuza game!

Somehow the game is 100$ Canadian, I really want to play it but i’m definitely waiting a while. Gonna mention Millenia, which comes out in 9 days and is an excellent looking civilization competitor, i’m definitely looking forward to that.

rickyrigatoni,

That looks neat. Wishlisted.

If you buy Backpack Battles you can get a copy of Slay the Spire for free … just sayin’. I mean I am totally not hoping for a lot of people to hop on Backpack Battles, so I will have a lot of people to play against forever. 😏 It has a demo, so no blind buying necessary. It is Early Access but worth every Cent in my eyes.

Dadlyni feel like I own everything I want. And will never play, ans bew games discounts aren’t worth it.

cries in steam is no longer a viable store where I live

girl,

vaquedoso,

Indeed f, indeed

el_abuelo,

Why is that? What happened?

Seasoned_Greetings, (edited )

I’m not in an affected country, but from what I can gather from what happened most recently:

Steam changed their pricing policy in relatively poor countries from localized affordable prices to strictly usd equivalent because people in other countries were using vpns to make accounts in those poor countries to get games for what would be pennies for them.

I don’t remember which countries were involved in the first place, but in those countries now where they don’t make as much money on average, but everything is much cheaper, some steam games can cost the equivalent of a month’s salary.

That’s why the store isn’t viable in those countries anymore.

Edit: Here’s a source

lowleveldata,

Why don’t Steam ban those people if they are known to exist?

Seasoned_Greetings,

Once enough people do it, it like playing whack-a-mole on a grand scale. Must have been a big enough problem if they decided that locking whole countries out of the market was a solution.

el_abuelo,

That sucks. Never occured to me I could do that, now that I know the consequences I’m glad I didn’t!

Grabbed a bunch of yakuza games, been meaning to play those for a while.

I also got the Yakuza Collection just now after finshing Yakuza 0 a few weeks ago. 35 bucks for Yakuza 1 - 6 seems like a steal.

Passerby6497,

I’m installing Yakuza 0 on my steam deck now, I can’t wait!

@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

Played most of it on my Deck and it ran well, enjoy. :)

Alright what games should I be getting this time?

Orange box again

anarchyrabbit,

But the real question is which ones will sit and gather dust in our libraries!

snooggums,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

At least 9/10 have in the past, because my thought is that surely I will get to them in a few months well after the refund window.

I leave a few large installed games I don’t play in my library to remind me to pace my purchases. Now I’m down to 3/4 gathering dust!

That said, don’t regret any that I picked up but didn’t end up working out.

Ahardyfellow,

That’s the neat part, all of them!

FlavorPacket,

It’s soooooo good. I second this.

daddy32,

It’s not on sale, lol. Well, it is, but on Fanatical.com.

TheBat,
@TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

That’s surprising. I guess the publisher didn’t get the memo?

ColeSloth,

I just bought Brotato for like $3.74, because I just finished 100%ing Vampire Survivors on my Steam Deck.

Mandatory you should own Stardew Valley by now, and his big v1.6 update finally comes out next week.

Hades is on sale for like $12.50. It’s on sale for $12.50 more than it’s not on sale, really.

Red Dead redemption 2 and two spider man games are also on sale.

Really, it’s a steam sale. Just buy everything that’s at least 40% off till you’re broke. My backlog is probably already bigger than I have years left.

I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!

delitomatoes,

What’s the name of the game?

proper,
@proper@lemmy.world avatar

store.steampowered.com/publisher/100CozyGames

makes me think of this, but these are “free”?

cordlesslamp,

I think the DLCs cost money.

TIMMAY, (edited ) do games w The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing

is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at this point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years

Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.
