Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?

Disco elysium and hades.

I encourage everyone here who hasnt played Celeste to pick it up for $2. One of the goats

My backlog has reached that point where I need to be a responsible adult and finally beat some games, so this time I'll pass.

But the PS games like Horizon: Zero Dawn are tempting.

no i still have a huge backlog to go through and i still have to pray i dont contract skyrimitis and play that for the 400th time

I finally picked up Witcher 3 for like 4 bucks. Excited to start playing that. I also got Euro Truck Simulator because it was like 1.99 and seems like a chill space out game.

Baldur's Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

I already have a lot of unplayed games, so I'm keeping my list small. I also really like indies, so here you go:

• The Hex - in the "deep discount" section; I liked the dev's other two games (Pony Island and Inscryption), so I'll probably enjoy this one; they're all on sale too
• Firewatch
• Celeste
• Gris
• Filament
• Chaos Reborn

These are all <$5.

And some other games I might get if I finish an in-progress game:

• Psychonauts 2
• Hogwarts Legacy
• Bomb Rush Cyberpunk
• Little Nightmares 2

These are from larger studios and are at historical lows (I think). I just need to finish some longer games before I get even more.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.

I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they've only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.

For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a try.

For Hades, I've always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I've been craving an isometric real time combat game too.

Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don't play it, its fine. Like Celeste

Picked up Shadow of War. Only ever played Shadow of Mordor so interested to check it out especially given the 90%+ discount.

Finally picked up Dave the Diver.

So I've just bought a PC. I haven't had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I've played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I've basically missed everything from the last 15 years.

I own a few games that I haven't been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.

Just got Stardew Valley. I'm a little reluctant to start it though- it seems like one of those games I could sink hundreds of hours into and I have a huge backlog. But I'm excited to try it.

I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.

I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.

I bought like 20 games within the last year on sales and played maybe 4 of them, this time I try to be strong.

After a while I finally picked up Parkitect. I've been having a blast with OpenRTC2 lately, and everyone says if you like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect really follows that idea.

Still burning through the old school games, but I'm excited to play this one! Especially with workshop support.

I'm waiting for helldivers 2 to go on sale but I think that's gonna take a while.

I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off

itch.io has a summer sale as well!

Bought Icarus and State of Decay 2 today. One was 50% off and the other 66%. I almost bought them last night. Glad I waited. Always on the lookout for more co-op games to play with the wife. Can't wait for Ark 2!

I just got the pack with Tunic and Death's Door. I had Tunic in my wishlist for a while and finally bit the bullet. Yay! 2 more games into the backlog!

There's a Pacific Drive + Techtonica bundle I'm looking at and might grab.

Part of the problem is I'm obsessed with Satisfactory which scratches a lot of the itches Terraria did but in 3D.

I'm kinda offended with these deals. They were great when games were $50. Now that they're trying to charge $70, the deals are just getting prices down to the old regular price, not seeming like a deal at all to me. Now I have to be even more patient. Oh well...

Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

I bought the entire spiderweb software catalogue and now I will just play spiderweb software games for the rest of my life I guess.

Planescape Torment

Last night for $4.99 and $2.99 I got Worms W.M.D. and Worms Armageddon on Steam since I haven't played any worms games outside of Worms 2: Armageddon on xbox360.

Tried Armageddon last night and it was pretty fun. Only gripe I have with it is that I had to plug in a mouse and keyboard to my deck dock.

Have yet to try W.M.D. yet and don't know if it has an offline singleplayer player vs computer mode, but I've seen enough videos of people playing it for me to think I'd have a good time playing it.

I'm really hoping for an armored core 6 sale soon!

• I keep hearing that Mass Effect is a series I would like, so I finally got the Legendary Edition for $5.99.
• I have also heard of Mages of Mystralia as a good game for magic mechanics, so got that for $4.99.
• Trombone Champ for $5.99. I like silly memey stuff and I'm a former band kid. I also never played the trombone, which explains why I am buying the game instead of just playing my own trombone instead.
• Sixty Four for $4.19, as an incremental game fan

I am not sure whether to pick up Noita because I have heard of its great magic mechanics, it also sounds like something that will frustrate me way too much. I'll probably try on a friend's computer first

I finally got spiderman remastered. I don't have much time to play it so I've already downloaded a cheat table so I can have unlimited everything.

I yoinked Undertale and Fallout 76. I just finished FO4, before that was New Vegas, and 3 before that. Finally got hooked on Fallout after years of trying and just not jiving. The show motivated me to try again.

My pickups have been Horizon Forbidden West, Subnautica, Spelunky, middle-earth: shadow of war, and Pony Island

I don't have exact price breakdowns, but it was total about 60$ with the vast majority of that being H:FW at 45ish.

Crow Country and Chained Echoes were ready choices for me.

Monhunt Rise seems like a good price. Undertale would be a nice gift for my nephew.

Debating to either purchase Hi Fi Rush or Persona 5 Royal.

Already got Persona 5 Royal on PS5 but kind of want to replay it on PC and I’m not sure whether I’ll like Hi Fi Rush.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I've heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.

I'm thinking about either Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth or Warhammer40k: Rogue Trader.

However, I wouldn't be playing them anytime soon with my backlog. So, I'm likely to just sit this sale out.

Firewatch for $4, Dave the diver for $13 and Total War Atilla for $11.

Nah, Warframe still keeps getting updates and it's free and not p2w so I'll see y'all there

I spent about $140AUD on euro truck sim 2 DLC, plus American truck sim and a lot of DLC

I got Witcher 1 and SW:KOTOR for like $2. Not sure when I'll play them since I'm currently in the middle of a BG3 obsession and then I'm going to play Ghost of Tsushima. But it was cool to get them for so cheap.

Just picked up battlefield 1 cause my friend wanted to play. Wonder if I should get the other battlefield games

Personally I find that terra invicta requires way too much micromanagement and waiting for turns to pass so I can't recommend it but if that seems your speed or idk if there are mods to help then go for it

I already picked up a bunch, not sure when I will manage to play them >_< I mostly play retro emulation games these days lol

edit: I checked and some of the ones I picked up include Team Sonic Racing, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, and Black Mesa.

No because my wallet hasn’t tasted the sweetness of money in weeks.

I shall make my own sales, in time.

Also I am not a patient gamer because I wait until a price drop. I am a patient gamer because new AAA games are fucking shit.
