Steam Sale

[Porochaz]

I'm looking for new games.

I just bought
- This is the Police
- Her Story
- Bastion
- Stories: The Path of Destinies

Anyone got deals or anything exciting? or a Pigeon Dating Sim?

[Porochaz]

I just finished it. I'm not quite sure what to think of the ending, I'm leaning

1 not 2

Make that as vague as possible. I did change that around three times, there's arguments for both.

Spoiler: Her Story spoilers

Gosh, I was going to come in here and definitely say 2, but even I'm not sure. There's the tattoo thing, which is the big piece for me -- but the childhood seems very convoluted, but also the fact that a whole second childhood could be made up also seems convoluted . . . so good!

Did you have an interesting path? I think I investigated things around the alibi for a bit until I searched "taxi" and came up with the clip talking about the trip to the Bob Dylan concert, which really sort of opened the floodgates.

I will definitely look through the sale list like, tomorrow morning or something.

Spoiler: Her Story spoilers, if you plan on playing the game, don't look

I actually got the last video very quickly, like 2/3 searches. I was searching names mainly so went through The Rock staff and the glaziers, and quite quickly got to Eve, the drowning, Florence and her parents, I thought she was a serial murderer. (Which Im not totally convinced she isn't) I then kinda got the impression she had DID, from the video "Hannah, Hannah, Hannah, why are you talking about Eve?" which was really just a hunch. DID is something I find interesting anyway, so I guess I jumped to that conclusion before most would? But I explored that and whether it was actually twins before I got to 50% of the videos. It took me a while to get to Glasgow and even then, the pregnancy was still relatively hidden for a while, somehow. Certainly that there was more than 1.

- This is the Police
- Her Story
- Bastion

All of these are solid picks.

My library is filled with excellent games that do not deserve to languish in zero play time, so I'll probably either skip out on this sale or get Umineko When They Cry for the retranslation (and because Hanasawa got me interested in it again).

Anyone make any nominations for their new Steam Awards thing?

I hadn't really looked at it. I would award this war is mine and ftl awards from my previous buys, they are definitely two of my favourite games bought on steam. I play so much ftl.

Transistor is sitting in my Library currently, I bought it in the 2015 steam summer sale. Haven't got round to it yet...

[Porochaz]

I have bigger games I want (fallout 4, witcher 3) but until I get a new computer I won't be able to play them. I also want to try the previous fallouts first.

[Porochaz]

I bought life is strange last sale... I'll be honest, I got bored and whilst I will go back to it as I was more than half way I have no particular inclination to do so. Ori is on my wish list but I've not yet completed similar games so not sure if I can be bothered

[Porochaz]

I caved and got Witcher 3 and its expansions. I can't play it currently but the other purchase Im making is a new desktop so...

[Porochaz]

Im getting the yogscast humble bundle so Im probably good for games atm but we'll see.

[Porochaz]

I havent looked at it yet, but sure.

I also caved and got Shelter 2, Beholder and Fallout 4.

[Porochaz]

So does anyone here like the Total War games?

I got rome years ago, I like it but its definitely not on my frequent play list.

[Porochaz]

stardew valley, hyper light drifter, starbound, astroneers, and this war of mine were all games i got for under 60. in fact, i think it was around 45-50~ all of them are supremely good : )

This War of Mine is my favourite.

[Porochaz]

This War of Mine DLC
Madness of Doctor Dekker
Brothers; a Tale of Two Sons
Batman: Arkham Origins
Deus Ex DLC
60 Seconds
Stellaris + all DLC

I might buy Caveblazers later on. I passed on a few things like GTA due to the bad press it's gotten recently and the fact I have about 100 steam games in my library already.

[Porochaz]

Stellaris + all DLC

please let me know how this game is. I've been holding off on buying it because people are saying it isn't fun, but it's a game I've been interested in for a while.

It's too late now but I've played a couple of games, none to completion. The reason being is I have very little idea of what Im doing and whilst I seem to have enough of a grasp of avoiding most pitfalls I am failing at one (losing influence) but there is no advice/tutorial or anything like that, that helps. There is a tutorial but it's basic and meh. I don't mind that at times, but I literally had to punch buttons until I found what I wanted, and it's very like Civ 5 but I think Civ does it better. The excitement of finding new worlds and new things feels minor, like ultimately it's not going to help me. I won't say I dislike the game, I actually do. But the extremely steep learning curve sucks the fun out of it. It's unlike the Witcher (for instance) which also has a steep curve, because you can go into a completely new game, try something totally different and end with the same product, which to me sucks a bit.

Maybe if they had better support for newbies, I'd think it was a lot more fun, but as it is, I think it's alright, but I'd much rather play other games which I can work out.
