This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I wish I could play through it again with fresh eyes. I've played through it 3 times. Enjoy.

I haven't bought anything. We've still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I'm a patient gamer so I'm still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot that interests me right now.

I'm mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just... stopped playing.

Did they release a fifth installment?

I've watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

I bought it and I'm a bit disappointed, it scratches the creeper itch a bit but it kinda does away with the creeper world formula of making massive bases

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I got

  • Nightmares I and II
  • Firewatch
  • Never Alone
[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 year ago

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.

[–] Retreaux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery... you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.

Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I got:

Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.

CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.

Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.

I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.

spoilerMage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest

Midnight Castle Succubus

Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.

Might get more idk.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I bought a few, but the one that got me was Microsoft flight simulator 2020. It looks amazing in VR.

I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.

[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lots of CRPG and TRPG. A few experimental indie RTS. And a few indie auto-battlers. Plus a few casual co-op shooters. Oh, and some indie horror as well.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Caves of Qud or Path of Achra (I got them both). Aren't we hipster enough?
