Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.

Is there something on your wishlist that's on discount?
Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I'm sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.

Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though... I get it but... It's so expensive...
gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.
Me too. It's the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.
Bit meah honestly
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.
They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.
Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.
Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.
KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.
Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I'm not happy about it.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.
Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.
It's 40% off now https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/17015-buy-clair-obscur-expedition-33-pc-steam/
I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)
do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don't really like encouraging stuff like DLC's if avoidable
Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.
I'm exaggerating with the explicit 'need' word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn't even get a conclusion to one of the assassin's creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I'm basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we're creating
No you didn't need the dlcs for it. But I highly recommend the first dlc just for the new music. That soundtrack rocks with both together.
Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I'm picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it's regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I'm pleased to see it at $10.
Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for 'three big games' of content is a steal, though.
It isn't that 'successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep' is exactly unheard of - it's a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn't have been if they'd only spent half as much making it, and so we won't be getting a PoE3 :-(
For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.
I'm planning to buy:
As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.
Any other recommendations?
Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!
Like Pseudoregalia, it's another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I've been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.
I really enjoyed Azaran, Gravity Storm and Always With You in the NextFest.
A Game About Digging a Hole looks to be a fun game to play while your legs fall asleep on the toilet. Only 20% off, but it's a sub $5 game.

Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.
4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.
Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.
The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS'd. It'll smooth out.
Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed
Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.
Bought it anyways now. Have played both star wars games often enough, so need a new soulslike now

And no discount for the DLC or complete edition
Animal Well for me and teardown for my kids. So far…
~~Bah. Bought Animal Well for $18 last night, but just saw now it was included in a bundle for $7.~~
Edit: praise steams refund policy
Edit2: Jesus christ I'm an idiot
7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.
Am I missing something? That's the only bundle I found for animal well...
I'm sorry:(( I'm dumb.
I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.
I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).
Sorry I got your hopes up :(

I just finished animal well. Fuck $80 games, its a $200 game.
$18 is totally worth it. Try not to look anything up unless you have to.
