I had been saving up for Deltarune, avoiding spoilers for years (didn't have time to even play the demo)

Is there any advice for Persona 3? It’s super confusing
steeznson@lemmy.world 5 months ago
As in which version to buy? There’s an unreal engine remaster called Reload which is a full remake of the PS2 game and then a PSP port. The former has improved gameplay and the latter is like a VN with the dungeon crawling as the unvarnished original. PSP port does have exclusive content in terms of a female MC alternative story but I’d say that was for real enthusiasts

Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I’ve had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?
Besides that, I’m going to try and play some more Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I’m still in the early stages of both.
pewpew@feddit.it 5 months ago Palworld. Even though it never goes below 20€
Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what’s the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.
insertfloppydiskhere@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I was really positively surprised by it! Picked it up two years ago and thought I’d spend a couple of hours in it. I’ve spent almost 200 hours in Appalachia by now - one of my favourite comfort games!
SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 5 months ago
I like it a lot. It’s not my favorite of the games, but I think it’s a great game whether played in a public lobby or not. I do usually prefer a private lobby, but not always.
lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago I bought two:
-
ACE COMBAT™7: SKIES UNKNOWN - $4.79 (Flying makes me hard)
-
Detroit: Become Human - $3.99 (always looking for something to experience with my barely-gamer s/o)
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Flying makes me hard
I am morally obligated to recommend Project Wingman (although it’s more expensive at a whole $12.49 right now)

How is Detroit? I’m a barely gamer SO trying to find a co-op game that I enjoy
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Detroit is a great game if you like cinematic, story-driven experience. It’s like a Choose-Your-Own Adventure book, in video-game form. Kind of like an interactive movie.
- lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Just bought it yesterday, will update when we get into it!
Echolynx@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Oh wow, that’s a great deal for DBH. I bought it for a bit more a few sales ago. Still haven’t played it yet, of course…

Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.
pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Someone already told you this, but I want to elaborate
Dwarf Fortress was essentially what Rimworld was cloned from. I’ve been downvoted into oblivion by rimworld fans for such heresy, but it’s true.
For the longest time DF has been free, disgustingly ugly, and getting updates for like 20 years (think you can still download freeware version, but there’s a steam version now you can pay for. I bought it because it’s been a gem for YEARS and devs more than deserve my $20 or whatever it was).
Rimworld took the DF game, made it sci fi, and made it not absolute dogshit to look at.
You could always mod DF with icon packs that made it look a lot better but it was still pretty ugly.
The steam version of DF looks much, much better but it’s not quite as pretty as Rimworld still, I think.
Either way, if you got any time out of Rimworld and want something similar, Dwarf Fortress is your best choice. They’re both great and are IMO the best in class of whatever genre you’d call it.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nah, I’m a hardcore Rimworld fan who’s been with it since the early forum Alphas, and that’s completely true, heh. IIRC was explicitly expired from DF, more obviously in the early days.
That being said, I’ve never played DF. I’m more into sci fi and tech than Tolkien-esque fantasy, hence I’ve passed on stuff like Necesse and… what’s that massive city builder? That, and many I’ve forgotten the names of.
Maybe I will give DF a look though. Maybe it has automation/tech mods that would make it more appealing, like Minecraft and Rimworld?

Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 months ago I haven’t bought anything yet, but I’ve been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I’ve been playing, specifically ones that’ll work on the Deck nicely. It’s a genre I loved when I was younger that’s been rather missing from my modern collection.
- Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and/or
- Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
- Legends of Amberland II
- Operencia: The Stolen Sun
- Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)
And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don’t think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.
moopet@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago Pick up Lands of Lore. Let me be your enabler.
Karjalan@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Songs of conquest is fantastic, definitely recommend.
I keep coming back to play it and they have been releasing solid new content, such as new factions
- Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ooh, Wildermyth looks pretty tempting too…
specialseaweed@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
-Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. -Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him. -Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man. -The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it’s one of the only ways to get us all in a room. -Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 months ago Is Seance of Blake Manor the first Blue Prince-like? I’m very hyped about it too but I’m still waiting for more than -25% off. Let me know how you like it, Blue Prince was my GOTY so another game to scratch that itch is enticing.
specialseaweed@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
That’s a great question. I’m not sure. I played Blue Prince and really liked it, but my family went and found Seance because they thought it was like Roottrees and Immortality.
brewbart@feddit.org 5 months ago
Date Everything has the appeal of many known voice actors being involved in this silly story. It’s great fun to puzzle out all the voice lines - especially if youre fan of some of the actors.
specialseaweed@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Alright, this must actually be a thing because that’s what my kid said about Date Everything, too. The kid is way into voice acting.

hitagi@ani.social 5 months ago Late to this thread.
Grabbed Slay the Spire and Green Hell. Both all-time low.
Thinking of picking up Catherine Classic + the NOexistenceN of you AND me. Don’t know if I have time to play those two with Persona 5 Royal and RDR2 in my backlog.
Muffi@programming.dev 5 months ago

For the first time I decided to spend my money on a Lagavulin 16 and Port Charlotte 10.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Oh nice. I love Islay single malts. I’ve never tried Port Charlotte 10 but Lagavulin 16 is excellent.
knocks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes. Probably not the best place to post such a reply, found many games lackluster this year… But a peaty dram always wins!
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I’m thinking about grabbing…
Star birds
Last caretaker
And rv there yet
I’m also eyeballing planet Crafter, and a couple others on my wish list that dropped below $10.
I’ve also wanted to pick up ultra kill for a while but I never see it on sale for under $20 (Canadian schmeckles)…
Some that I’m still waiting to see come down in price to something more reasonable…
Horizon: forbidden West
Split fiction
Borderlands 4.
Even on discount, these are well over $40.
dracs@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Planet crafter is amazing. Don’t wait, grab it and play!
Zanathos@lemmy.world 5 months ago
My friends and I played through RV There Yet just last month. Hilariously awesome game but very hard to solo. Definitely recommend with friends.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
My friends rarely play what I play. It sucks.
Technoworcester@feddit.uk 5 months ago
Oh god. The amounts of hours I’ve sunk into planet crafter is midly embarrassing. Well worth a punt.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I’m pretty deep into satisfactory most of the time. Over 1800 hours… That isn’t a typo.
I figure that it’s close enough that it might just fill in the gaps between satisfactory content updates. :p
darkmogool@feddit.org 5 months ago
I’ve picked: Outer Wilds, The Alters (yeah wasn’t that patient on this) and Shadow Gambit

It’s a gem. I’m just about 2h in but i already love it :)
alister667@feddit.uk 5 months ago
I got Fallout 4’s DLC - primarily so I can play Fallout London. I also picked up X4: Foundations, and Fallout 76 as well. All were pretty heavily discounted.
filister@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?
alister667@feddit.uk 5 months ago
I’m not sure tbh, when I do mod it, I’ll post here.
restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Also curious about this. I didn’t want to do a whole new play through with a gog one but don’t really want the hassle of setting up the London mod with my steam version. Been holding off until I get more time to mess with it but the longer I go the more likely I just suck it up and start over on gog.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I’ll be patient and keep waiting for EDF 6 currently 56% off and that is still too much of $79 full price. If it goes down to 75 % off I’ll buy it.
mohab@piefed.social 5 months ago
I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it’s still fun.
tefbo@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago

CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The Harry Potter game probably
Zanathos@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You just missed it for free on Epic last week.
CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Didn’t miss it, just would rather pay money to get it on steam than free on epic.
anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
pirate that one in particular instead please

Stupendous@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game
EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Vein. Bought a full copy today, been playing their free demo version. Still in development, but potentially a great game for people who enjoy crafting survival. You explore and scavenge for components you need to build supplies to survive. Everything can be broken down with the right tools. It’s not a fast-pace bloody hack and slash game, but more focused on building, occasionally dealing with zombies that want to eat your brains.
