Steam Cart rating thread.
Post 'em, comment on other's, and ask for recs.
Personally I'm kinda 50/50 on whether or not I should get the top three games in mine. Anone here play them and wanna say what they thought?The rest are either cheap or widely praised enough that I don't have any real worries about whether they'll be worth the cost, though.
neptunia or fairy fencer
>>342738574
depends on which nep
if it's 1 or 2 then Fairy, if it's 3 then go for that
>>342738574
Nep unless it's 2
Any sites you fags know of other than swagbucks were I can mindlessly mine ads to get free steam wallet credit? I have the money, I just don't want to pay money again for shit I already have but can't redeem on steam, like UT99 and Unreal Gold. Know what I mean?
They never came with Cd Keys when I bought them back in the day.
Should I buy Hearts of Stone?
do these three live up to the hype?
I don't have anything in my cart.
I haven't played video games in over a year.
What should I buy in the summer sale to get me back into it?
Should I get the Saints Row pack? I need a sandbox game in my steam collection.
>>342738725
What's wrong with 2?
>>342738884
>Shovel Knight
Definitely, if it had been released on the SNES people would still be talking about it today as one of the single greatest platformers of the era.
>Duck Game
Depends on your friend group, really. If y'all find it's humour effective then it's pretty good.
>Dishonored
The main game is pretty damn solid, though a tad on the easy side depending on what powers you upgrade. The DLC is fucking GOAT though.
>>342738945
Name your three favourite genres (or at least what ones you're interested in) and your three favourite games.
I'll spit you some recs based on that.
>>342738756
tremorgames senpai
>>342739129
awesome thanks
I built my gaming PC 2 months ago
My last computer I got in 2008, and it was shit then, what should I get lads
Imagine I've missed out on the absolute classics since then
>>342739401
Tell me what you're into genre-wise and I'll give you some suggestions.
I need to get this in the $60-80 range.
Worth $15? I hard some mixed things when it was still early access about mostly being RNG and not very fun.
Actually it was a lot of the same complaints I heard about Darkest Dungeon. I enjoyed Darkest Dungeon for the first few hours but then I realized it wasn't going to get any deeper and the hardest part was really just grinding up a new team when you started losing lots of good party members. After awhile Darkest Dungeon just became too easy when you figure out the meta to the game.
Guess I'm worried the same will with happen Age of Decadence.
>>342739476
Loved Mount and Blade, RPG games with a sort of upgrade element to them, I've played a lot of Civ 5, already have Witcher 3 (I like it a lot), Fallout 4 (I didn't rate it desu)
I also have 2510 hours on Lord of the Rings online.
>>342738213
Not my first cart of this sale. Rate it. Only one I'm questioning is KoA as some saying it doesn't work on Windows 10.
Rate me, also i need to trim this down to around $60 or $70 at the most so I'm open to recommendations on what to remove or replace.
>>342738413
I'll bump the thread for you anon but I've not hear of any of your top three.
>PARTY TIME
>>342739559
I hope you've played Dangan Ronpa 1.
If you have expect more of the same (in a good way). DR2 a solid game and arguably better than the first
>>342739957
yes yes no yes no no no no yes no no soundsneat no yes yes yes maybe maybe
>>342738945
Thanks for being a sport.
>three favourite genres
Competitive first person shooters
Roleplaying
Time wasters (something you can play for 5 minutes and put down)
Favorite games, the last time I played them which was forever ago:
CS:GO (playing since 1.6)
Days of Defeat: Source
StarCraft
>>342738884
Dishonoured was fun.
And by fun, I mean killing everything. Stealth isn't really a challenge as your powers make you extremely overpowered.
Can't wait for the sequel.

>>342739237
>>342739957
>learn Japanese: hiragana
What is with this retarded meme? Hiragana is incredibly simple, it's like learning your ABCs. If you study an hour or two a day you'll have it down in probably a week or two. Any Japanese language course you take will expect you to learn Hiragana in two weeks tops, because it's just that simple.
If the game was teaching Kanji then yeah that'd be cool, but don't pay for some shitty learning game that'll teach you something you can easily teach yourself in less time than it'd take to play the game.
>>342739559
desu you should just pirate DR2 and SV if you can't afford to buy all that. they're not multiplayer games, have no drm, you can just pay for them later if you feel like it then.
though at the same time i'd personally just cut everything that's not on sale too.
>>342739693
aight then in that case
>Dragon's Dogma - Semi-openworld ARPG with a strong focus on class-based mechanics. The TECHNOLOGY of it is absolutely insane, with shit like your character's height and musculature determining their mass to see if you get knocked over by stuff or how fast you trigger pressure plates, their arms' length determining their reach, and the ability to literally climb all over fucking every enemy in the game that's bigger than humans. Also, you can make a viable character build that's all about just picking up smaller monsters or NPCs and throwing them at shit to kill them.
>Dark Souls - I imagine if you're ever on /v/ you already know about this game. Its an openworld ARPG with a very harsh but fair difficulty curve that emphasises cautious play, great lore scattered throughout the world for you to uncover, and a great atmosphere that transcends it's kinda limited visuals.
>Fallout: New Vegas - Several orders of magnitude better than 4 in every way besides maybe the gunplay, which can be modded anyway. If you thought 4 had potential that it squandered then this is the game that did it right.
>>342739559
Buy cheaper games and buy this crap next year when it actually costs less?
C'mon anon you aren't even trying.
>>342739239
Looks cool. Thanks
>>342739575
thats what happened to me with DD. and AoD. i got bored after about 10 hours in
Is it worth having for some 90s feels and comfy playtime?
>>342739559
remove weeb shit and dirt rally
>>342740286
>Also, you can make a viable character build that's all about just picking up smaller monsters or NPCs and throwing them at shit to kill them.
Holy fuck after seeing this shit shilled for ages, this is the first time I've read a post that's actually made me want to pick up the game.
How's the PC version run though? I remember playing it briefly, like only a few hours, back when I had PS Plus a few years back, and it seemed like it was incredibly choppy and had lots of slow down andunder 30 FPS
I've got $10 in my wallet. What do I get? PLEASE NO SINGLE PLAYER GAMES WITH 0 UPDATES THAT I COULD EASILY TORRENT. I don't mind single player games that constantly get updated.
>>342740361
>buy this crap next year
He might as well just wait 10 years when it all costs pennies with that attitude
>>342740742
Dawn of War Master Collection
Is rise of the tomb raider any good?
>>342738213
Here's what I grabbed so far. Already had STALKER: CoP but I'm excited to play the rest of the series.
>>342739871
Sleeping Dogs is great, as is Alan Wake.
>>342738756
What anime is she from. She is pretty thick and I see her posted a lot so It leads me to think her anime is pretty good.
>>342740154
>Competitive FPS
Rainbow Six: Siege is a very good, recent tacticool SWAT-team based multiplayer game that has a high potential skill ceiling. I would highly recommend watching some gameplay vids to see if its for you and playing with anons from the general on /vg/ though, given the emphasis on teamwork.
Red Orchestra 2: A very hardcore based off of WW2, with a particular focus on the soviets and nazis. You die and kill quick, so caution, well-planned movement, and good aim are all vital skills.
>Roleplaying
Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a great choice for a reasonably compact CRPG that can stack up in quality to those of day's gone by. Its sci-fantasy, set in the near future after magic returned to the world when it was midway through turning into a cyberpunk dystopia - which sorta threw a wrench in pretty much everyone's plans, leaving the current world in a chaotic (though not post-apocalyptic) state.
The Witcher 3 is an openworld ARPG with absolutely fantastic writing and very good quests that had reinvigorated the hearts of many tired anons such as yourself, and is designed as a jumping on point for people who never played the previous games.
>Time wasters
Stardew Valley is pretty much the single more comfy game on steam, its a farming/dating sim that's all about just gradually building up your meagre homestead at whatever pace suits you while getting to know the local townsfolk and (if you want) finding love. It's pretty good for very short play sessions because it's structured on a day/night system that provides frequent points to just jump off on.
Nuclear Throne is a twinstick-shooter fused with a roguelite that's both really fun and also great for just popping on for one quick run before turning it off again.
good luck, anon
>>342741281
>Nuclear Throne
Too bad the dev is a cheapskate who never puts it on sale.
>>342740797
Strider was very good.
More challenging than shadow complex. But slightly lesd polish. Much better looking however art style wise.
>>342741270
Tell me Galko-chan. Watch it, it's hilarious and short. And Galko is hot as fuck.
>>342740402
just get an emulator...?
>>342740731
The PC port is fucking great, it's made on the same engine as DMC4 - which, if you don't remember, is the game famed for being able to run at 100+ fps even on toasters.
>>342738413
If you're unsure then buy them each separately so you can refund them if you don't like them. Stop with this shit.
The only thing I bought so far this sale was human revolution for $5
I've never played a deus ex game, but always wanted to (I love cyberpunk genre). Did I do good so far?
What are some comfy games? Stardew Valley, The Long Dark, what else?
>>342741391
It was in a monthly humble bundle
>>342741521
Subnautica, Cities:Skylines, andMinecraftcome to mind.
>>342739129
>>342740191
Different anon here, but would Dishonored be a game you two recommend?
>>342740286
>>342740627
Thanks. This sounds good. Dirt Rally will probably be much cheaper this winter as well.
>>342740361
Dirt Rally is the cheapest it's ever been, and Pulsar has never had a sale, even last winter. I figured another big steam sale being full price meant that it's probably going to stay that way.
>>342741770
Who the fuck is dumb enough to blind buy monthly bundles, especially with Humble Bundle's track record of bottom of the barrel shit for the past two years?
>>342741794
Looking at Subnautica vid trailer and there are some spooky fish that might fuck up my comfyness.
>>342741936
yes
>>342741956
the spooky fish are only an issue if you choose to go into the big dark caves or off the border of the quite large map
besides that pretty much everything you'll see just pottering about harvesting resources and such is harmless, even if its big
>>342741936
Not them, but while Dishonored tells you that you can play however you want, you only get the good end (the end that leads to Dishonored 2) by doing almost full stealth. So if you're fine with that, then go ahead. I personally hated having to restart a map after accidentally getting caught.
I pickee up mass effect already, couldnt wait any longer
Not final but what I got so far.
>>342740262
>>342740141
>>342740262
OK, updated the cart so now I'm looking at $50, how does it look now.
>>342741949
I am not telling you to buy it. You could buy NT alone from someone who bought the bundle and already had the game.
>>342742112
Good stuff, thanks for buying me a copy of 100% orange juice.
What to cut? What absolutely must be kept?
>>342742091
I think that either Dead Space or Mass Effect is 0.01 cheaper when each title is bought alone.
>>342742360
those two rocket league dlc's arent that good in game. I prefer supersonic and and chaos run
>>342741949
Last month bundle was great. How are you going to say no to Rocket League + 6 mystery games for $10? Rocket League itself doesn't go below $11 on sale right now.
>>342742512
desu the first month and the past three were all great value
though i'm not paying for this one because their showcase game being so bad has me thinking the rest will be poor also
>>342739693
>RPG
Dark Souls
Dragon's Dogma
Grim Dawn
Ys series
>Strategy
Wargame: Red Dragon

>>342742362
This. Games in the monthly flood the markets and become very cheap.
>>342742491
I heard that Disciples is impossible to run on modern systems
Post em!
>>342742491
Cut Slime Rancher
it's a decent concept but it literally does not have enough content to keep you going for two or three hours at the moment, it needs a lot more shit for you to build/buy/contruct to make farming slimes for cash actually give a sense of progression - plus maybe some more biomes for exploration
>>342742982
I only use queue to get my cards.
I never use that cancer beside that.
>>342742982
I actually like roguelites/likes but I already have seven I can choose between to play whenever I feel like it so I have zero interest in buying any more for the foreseeable future.
>>342742982
Only Anime is excluded.
>>342742085
I'll keep that in mind, Anon.
>>342743396
JRPG and Visual Novel already excludes everything anime while also excluding genres i couldn't care less about.
>>342741812
HLD is really fun, I've been playing it a fair bit recently. It feels like A Link to the Past but more fluid and fast-paced, and the music is pretty good too. Hope you have fun with it anon.
Spent 30 already. Meh, still cheaper then a single mainstream game like GTA
Should i?

I guess it's okay.

Oh yes, definitely. That is an amazing game right there.

I have $20 left in my wallet. I was thinking of picking up Ark, KI like survival and building, but I don't like pvp. Is it worth it if you want to stay away from pvp, or can you even?
Is Pillars of Eternity worth a buy and if so, do I need those stupid editions?

Might pick up Firewatch and Necrodancer at some point, but this is what I'm looking at now.
>>342745427
worst voice acting I've seen in a gameits still fun though
Does anyone play Bad company 2 online anymore?
I have never played a Total War game and I want to buy Shogun 2. Do they DLCs add something worthwhile?
Yeah, those are actually cheap, but with those few money I could buy Shadowrun Dragonfall or Metal Gear Rising or Deus ex HR, so I'm wondering if I should buy the DLCs during this sale.
What bundles have you guys gotten?Also, is the Killing Floor Complete Pack worth the price?
>>342747079
If you have friends to play it with then yes. The game can be played solo but it'll get boring fast.

I have an Overwatch Origins key FT.
Should I do it?
>>342741812
I hope you know what you're in for when getting This War of Mine. The theme is cool but it plays like a cellphone game. You should definitely watch some gameplay before buying it.
How's Y's Ark of Napishtim compare to Oath and Origins?
Don't play online much, recommend good multiplayer games please.
>>34275227
pretty comparable to oath
pretty fucking good for $36

if you like indie faggot shit, sure
Are there special sales this year or are the amount of discounts constant through the sale?
For example like in the past you would have like Game x for -35% and then on day 3 it becomes a highlighted sale for 50%
>>342752868
No, flash sales are gone because of the refund system
Seriously, this comes up every thread, where have you been?
i'm aware the controller is shit but i can't help myself
>>342753212celebrating midsummer
I'm strongly considering getting pic related, principally because:
>I love Stalker (the movie and the games)
>I love post-apocalyptic fiction
>I love games with rich atmospheres, which this has according to the reviews
>It's like three bucks right now
>I have an interest in all things Russian
I've never played a "walking simulator" before though, and 35MM is apparently one of those. I haven't heard many good things about that genre. Should I go for it anyways?

>Murricans get discounts even on hardware

>>342738413
My brother has Oceanhorn, it's a port of mobile game. Be cautious, as a Zelda wannabe it has none of the fleshed out details of a Zelda title.
Momodora 3 is probably fine for a dollar. Are you aware that Momodora 1-2 are freeware? Cave story + Touhou blend.
Neither of these games appear to be long at all. You could afford to skip out on both. (Although Oceanhorn isn't TERRIBLE, it's just not a real adventure game, imo.)

Is LA Noire any good?
Also is SUPERHOT worth it at 20% off?
>>342746057
There's still an active community on PC for bc2. A lot of servers full if playing on normal multiplayer.
But if you wanna play the Vietnam dlc there's usually 1 or 2 servers full, but it's still a good dlc.
>>342753360
Don't do it, it sucks. It's nothing like playing STALKER.
Hearts of Iron IV yay or nay?
>>342749537
Yes, Got loads of hours out of it.
>>342753619I'm a piratefag, most of the games that I want to buy I've already played. The ones I'm buying I either want to keep a long-term save file on or I want to support the dev, the $35 there is sort of negligible for me
>>342752847
>>342753782
I'm not expecting Stalker, I just like post-apoc stuff and atmosphere.
>>342753381
only reason I got it

>Is LA Noire any good?
I wouldn't recommend it
Will I like KOTOR 1+2 if I don't care about Star Wars?
>>342753660
>>342754298
Tim Roth said be beat the entire game just by talking or something like that
and yes that Tim Roth
>>342753660
For 5 bucks, I'd say LA Noire is worth it. It's unique, but don't expect anything groundbreaking
I need to play the games I got from last Summer Sale and sales that weren't even summer
so maybe it's a good year to abstain?
I wanted Robot Arena III but it looks like the devs are trash and willingly lie about SECRET EA status to new buyers
>>342754435
I enjoyed both of them while not being a huge fan of the series.
I'm pretty sure they take place a long time before the films so you don't need any prior knowledge.
About to pull the trigger
I'd get more butI'm poor
I just spent my last 10 bucks buy ing the 4 pack of Dungeon Defenders.
What is /v/ opinion about that game? seems fun desu
>>342754435
I simply can't stomach the D&D battle system.

Got 21 moneys left to spend on steam. Considering these two and maybe saints row the third or maybe Fallout new vegas. I want something with tits or that I can mod in tits.
Aside from that I want something to buy my gf. She loves platformers. Anyone got decent suggestions? Multiplayer games that can play between mac and pc ideally. Already bought battleblock theater btw
>>342755995
i would cut mordor but that's cuz i dont like LotR or ass-creed type gameplay
>>342756068
Not as tacticool as you might hope.
Most of its appeal is in the art
>>342745784
Higurashi is great, probably the best VNs on steam right now.
>>342755236
Cut, Super Hot, Disgaea and emulate final Fantasy
Shovel Knight and Stardew Valley are the best in the list. I have not played subnautica but /v/ loves it.
I really wasn't looking to buy this much shit... fuck.
>>342757015
>buying fallout 4 now instead of definite goty edition with all dlcs 1-2 years later
If you want to cut, that's where to start.

At least take Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider off of there.

hotline miami is a lot of fun, worth that price; same goes for dead rising2 but you should buy the edition with frank as its vastly superior.

Remove:
L4D bundle, pick only 2, there's no reason to play the first
Memelands 2. It's shit
Poker Night 2. Literally a meme game, but for that price who cares desu.

>>342758287
I own Shadow of Mordor on PS4 and I recommend tossing it. It's a huge chunk on your subtotal. The nemesis system was all hype and no real substance.
Not saying it to be contrarian, that game is very rudimentary. I haven't played Mad Max or Arkham but I assume those games have a little bit more to them.
R8 Also what do you recommend in terms of a broader spectrum?
tell me to kill myself
Rate?
Also, I still have 5 dollars; what should I get?
>>342762343
you've got a good taste anon, hope you'll like that new controller
>>342762642
Crypt of the Necrodancer or Risk of Rain
Mostly good taste, Hard Reset is meh at best, didn't like the new Deus Ex personally. Otherwise good choices.
>>342762872
I'm just nervous about how it needs steam to work and how it relies on community configs, basically i don't want to sort through a pile of shit to find a gem.
>>342762982
Not a huge fan of roguelikes and I already have RoR :(
After careful consideration I've reduced my cart down to 2 games.
Dead Secret because point and click mysteries are a guilty pleasure. Not sure about Subnautica though since I normally get bored very quickly from these type of games.
What recent triple A title is now on sale worth getting? I already have TW3 and everything. The one thing keeping me buying FO4 is that there's no good deal complete with all the DLC.
Dying Light looks pretty good, problem is I JUST started playing Dead Island and probably won't even touch a similar game til I've finished that and Riptide.
Any other good adventure indie games out there, or good discounted Triple A's?
Which series is a better city builder game?.
Anno 1404 or Settlers 7?
>>342753660
LA Noire is pretty much just an interactive movie. The story is interesting enough and almost certainly worth a fiver if you have the time to finish it. The city is empty, there isn't all that much to do outside the missions/cases.
>>342749537
I'm at 1300+hrs. It is absolutely worth it. The sense of accoplishment you get as you reach your first orbit or land on the mun is so good.
Tons of mods that really change the game so you've plenty to do after you're done with vanilla. Devs still active long after full release adding/fixing things.
I do not know how I feel about Xcum 2 since I also just got Dragons Dogma and probably will not play it for a while?
>>342764390
Anno 1404 is maximum comfy
>>342766935
