What are you buying?
I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.

Recommend 1000xRESIST if you want a story game.

Ugh, I have too much to play in my backlog already. I’ll probably pick up one game that I want to play eventually, maybe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
I’ve been playing Outer Worlds, though, so I’m saving up for the 2nd one just in case it’s good. Given Avowed’s release, my hopes aren’t high. However, the first game is so perfectly average that if they can just
Famko@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Just don’t mix up Outer Worlds with Outer Wilds lol.
Or maybe do, since they’re both good games.
AshCircuit@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Honestly the sheer number of games that I have is just unsustainable relative to how much work I have 🤣 I simply don’t have time for it all. Not to mention as I get older all I want to do is play World of Warcraft or the games I used to play in high school.
Skate and Apex Legends have been really fun for me though recently, but there’s no games I want to really buy so they can just sit in my library like we all do.

Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.
Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Factorio never goes on sale, but Shapez and shapez 2 are on sale and they are in the same genre but more beginner friendly.
victorz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Shapez 2 was great. I got into last night. Lovely and relaxing. No stress, no resource management, no time limits, no enemies. Just cozy thinking about production and how to optimize. Right up my alley.
StuffYouFear@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not sure if trolling but no, factorior will never go on sale, and will only ever increase in price.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 months ago
If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 5 months ago
No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.

Everyone in this thread: happy with what they have and got bills to pay
Me: ok cool I can actually stay under 400€ nvm the fact my backlog bigger than Beverly Hillscharles@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Just purchased Stationeers and that’s likely it for me. I’ve been meaning to pick it up forever and it rarely goes on sale, so it felt like a safe choice!
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 5 months ago
Ahh that game is so great but I hate it and can never get far in it. It both scratches a itch that almost no other game can yet is so exhausting to play I can never keep at it for more than a couple hours.
ZeroChaos@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Only buying Ghost of Tsushima and just gifting Cyberpunk 2077 to a friend. It feels like every sale it’s the same deals, at least to me.
Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.
I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren’t actually sales they’re just the price a thing should be
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It just replaces prices actually dropping.
SloganLessons@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I remember in the past these event sales being much, much better. I remember the discounts being higher, at least 50%. And 90% and 80% were a lot more common.
I think that’s the actual crux of the matter. These weekly sales throughout the year always existed, it’s the events that don’t feature as big discounts as they used to
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 5 months ago
I think sales have lost their luster when they're almost the same prices we've seen all year around. The golden age of sales was from 2010 - 2018 I would say and it was THE time to wheel and deal on getting games you sought for the most for crazy prices.
Nowadays, things remain stagnant. You'll find games released 5 years ago get an eh -15% off. You'll find games even 10 years ago get an eh -30% off. Most of the games you see go 65 - 90% off are either games you already had gotten long ago with better prices or games you couldn't give a shit about.
I understand that it'd be dumb to expect one or even two year games to be more than -50% at least. But the older the game gets, come on, you can do better.
sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
This is the deepest discount I’ve ever seen on Rimworld. Still not at the right price point for me but it’s darn close.
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 5 months ago
Rimworld almost never goes below $26 in sales if I recall. And it pisses me off too because it's an 8 year old game, but the devs remain so stingy on giving a good deal. It's like they act like they've made their own sacred Super Mario Bros game that can never have a good sale, like Nintendo practices.
mellow@lemmy.wtf 5 months ago
You might want to put your wishlist in isthereanydeal.com - rimworld’s not at its lowest currently isthereanydeal.com/game/rimworld/info/
garretble@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!
Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Never played the first Hades. Never played Cult of the Lamb. They’re both on sale now, and they seem like pretty good Steam Deck games.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Hades plays very nice on steam deck
Trual@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Two of my favorites games on the deck
Krudler@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Skip Hades and miss nothing.
It’s a wildly-overrated game. Tedious, derivative and grindy.

MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Dude yes, amazing game that never gets old, from a fan of the OG game as well
piyuv@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I have a huge backlog, both in steam and physical, so no, thanks….
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Got both Hellblade games for $26 last night. I didn’t even know a sequel came out until yesterday.
zecg@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I knew I wasn’t the only one.
Cool sweeper game tho
IceSoup@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
Probably nothing, as I’m already kinda busy juggling Silksong and Hades 2 with the occasional Starvaders and Splatoon 3 session. I might end up just getting Cuphead for later though, and would maybe have considered God of War or Spiderman if there weren’t so many other great games to play.
For people who haven’t played it, Ori and the Will or the Wisps is a great buy at 75% off. Probably my favorite metroidvania if you don’t count Tunic as a metroidvania.
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 5 months ago
Felt a bit too soon, don't it?
Thought this happened around November.
Psythik@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nothing lol, I have bills to pay.
I have room in my budget to buy maybe one game per year, and it’s never when a sale is on… *sigh*
mellow@lemmy.wtf 5 months ago
There’s most of the times always some sort of sale going on somewhere. Might want to put your wishlist linked in to isthereanydeal.com - it’s great! Oh and allkeyshop.com if it’s not… 😉
treyf711@eviltoast.org 5 months ago
I used my disposable income during the year to drop money in my steam wallet. That’s how I saved for the steam deck the first time around.
tuckerm@feddit.online 5 months ago
Maybe none, maybe a couple; lately I have resisted sales since my backlog is so big. That being said, some of the more interesting ones on my wishlist are on sale this time around. I might pick one or two of these:
First person shooters:
- Trepang2 (F.E.A.R. homage) - 60% off, $12
- Prodeus (boomer shooter) - 40% off, $15
- Metal: Hellsinger (boomer shooter) - 75% off, $8Indie/puzzle/chill:
- The Talos Principle 2 - 70% off, $9
- Everspace 2 - 70% off, $15
- Ultimate Chicken Horse (casual/party couch co-op) - 65% off, $5
- Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition - 90% off, $3
- Untitled Goose Game - 55% off, $9
- It Takes Two - 75% off, $10
- Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D platformer) - 80% off, $3
- The Forgotten City - 75% off, $6
- Dreamscaper (indie roguelike) - 80% off, $5Also:
- Persona 4 Golden (JRPGs aren’t really my thing, but I hear that this is literally one of the best games ever) - 50% off, $10
- God of War - 60% off, $20
- Desperados III (isometric tactics) - 90% off, $4
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps (2D platformer) - 75% off, $8
- Sifu - 60% off, $16seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Careful about persona 4, game is super homophobic and overall not nice towards minorities. If that’s a dealbreaker to you, Persona 3 or 5 are better experiences. Id argue p5 feels less like a jrpg too
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I played it and don’t remember anything that isn’t typical in JPRGs. I guess you have to be able to withstand a certain amount of cringe if you’re a fan of Japanese games/anime.
DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Yeah it was a product of the PS2 era
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
What if I want the gays AND jrpg?
PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Just to throw in a different genre, I’m currently enjoying Car-X Street, Forza racing, and need for speed heat.
ChetManly@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Picked up Rogue Trader, Death Road to Canada, and Doom Eternal for $20. Not bad.
tomkatt@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Rogue Trader is excellent. Wife and I have put almost 300 hours into that one with co-op.
mellow@lemmy.wtf 5 months ago
Oh waw we bounced off pretty hard on that one playing coop. After spending so much time in BG3, the “look at player 1 when they’re talking to someone” was a major downer. I think we spend one evening in that game. I can totally see it shine as single player, but coop - can’t recommend.
caut_R@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I have…
Just Shapes & Beats Nine Sols Smushi Come Home CATO: Buttered Cat Is This Seat Taken? GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink Ballionaire Pepper Grinder Like a Dragon: Ishin!
…in my cart, but considering I‘m unlikely to get around to any of them this year, I‘ll let them sit in the cart throughout the sale and see whether I’ll pull the trigger on anything.
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
If I had remembered this was coming, I might have waited a little bit to see if Maze Mice was gonna be on sale. Either way, nothing I’m desperately craving to buy, so I’ll probably see if any of the games on my wishlist go on sale for a good deal
LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
If you bought Maze Mice not too long before the sale started, you might be able to get the difference refunded to you by taking to Steam Support
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
It’s not a huge deal. It also gives a little more to the dev, so in the end I don’t mind.
swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
I already have Balatro, why would I need another game?
Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Slay the spire?
Maestro@fedia.io 5 months ago
I bought "Cult of the Lamb". It's not a spectacular discount but good enough to go try it out.
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Would have picked it up, but for the number of dlc inflating the price
Maestro@fedia.io 5 months ago
I just got the base version. If I like it enough I can wait for another sale for the DLCs
Duranie@leminal.space 5 months ago
We made our entire cult out of cats 😁. If we ever end up with a non-cat, they’re first up to be sacrificed lol.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I mean I was kinda tempted to get Planet Crafter, but then I thought about it for a bit and realized that I didn’t really want it.
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s reassuring! The first one has to be my fave game. I’m replaying the first one and my love for it has only intensified. I can’t play for long rn, though. I’ve been anxious lately and can only handle so much of the spooky scary stuff lol.
I’m so excited to play the second. If it’s as good as you say it is, a third game would be awesome if they put the same amount of effort into it
