The spring steam sale is March 19th. Are there any games that you’ve been waiting to purchase that you might get then? Me personally I have been looking at Routine and Outer Worlds 2.
no probably not. too big of a backlog (actually replays game ive played 100 times over like a boss)
I’ve stopped buying new games I’ll probably never even launch, and started splurging on the DLC for the old games I actually play.
id do that, but i already did it years ago 😂
Ugh, dammit. I’ve got over 700 games in my steam library, quite a few I’ve probably never even played. I suppose I’ll just be adding more random games I may or may not play to satisfy that “retail” therapy itch. But, realistically I will be buying Slay the Spire 2 even though it may not be discounted too much since it’s newly EA.
It won’t be discounted, but I’m looking forward to Death Stranding 2 which is out that day.
The next game I am paying for is 100% going to be Esoteric Ebb.
Imagine Disco Elysium, but instead of a weird cyberpunk alternative history real world type setting, it’s Forgotten Realms and uses D&D rules. That’s Esoteric Ebb.
😯 Never heard of it, but definitely wish listing it now.
Nothing specifically I’m looking for, but if the price is right I might pull the trigger on a few of my wishlist items, and then probably browse the store to add other things to it. I’ve got a ridiculous backlog of games, so there’s not a lot of motivation to pick up new stuff, but the sales tend to highlight stuff I wouldn’t normally search out or encounter randomly on the store, so I enjoy that aspect. Found a lot of very entertaining games that way.
The sales have not been exciting for me for quite a long time now. Everything on my wishlist, has sat at 10% ~ 15% for years, even when the games themselves have aged to where a deep discount should’ve happened but didn’t.
So now I just pirate whatever interests me, I have too much to play anyways.
I end up buying most VR games that come out on steam so i’m sure i’ll find interesting things :) maybe some that came out and where quickly forgotten as a lot are.
I’ve only got $5 to spend so it depends on if any games on my wishlist go under 5, but that’s pretty rare so I probably won’t get anything.
🤷 I have all the stuff I’m watching on my waitlist over on https://isthereanydeal.com/ … so if something goes on a deep sale, it’ll let me know.
I’ll probably pick up Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and depending on launch discounts and reviews, I might pick up Screamer as well, if the sale is still running by the 26th. There’s no point in picking up anything else if I don’t think I’ll get around to it by the next Steam sale.
Time to lose 100+ hours in Satisfactory.
Crimson Desert (on PS5). The reviews are very mixed, mostly because the game does not hold your hand. I’m not a fan of hard games, but I am a fan of exploration, so I’m hoping that when I inevitably hit a brick wall boss I can just wander around doing other things until I’m upgraded enough to be able to take them on. Puttering around exploring open worlds is usually my favorite part.
Then a Marvel Heroes Omega private server goes live on the 20th, so I’ll be playing that as well for the first time since it shut down in 2018.
I recently grabbed division 2 and crew motorfest. Both on sale again for 90% off. More than enough content to keep me busy for a while.
I should not be buying more games considering the size of my backlog. That being said, I currently am playing and enjoying a copy of Rise of the Ronin acquired courtesy of FitGirl, and so if that one goes on sale for ~€20 again I might buy it because I’d like to own it actually, I wouldn’t mind supporting Team Ninja further and log my playtime on my Steam account.
Also have some other wishlist items I’m itching to pull the trigger on if a deeper sale materialised:
I just bought Opus Magnum which is on sale right now so maybe nothing, haven’t had any games I’ve been eyeing except that
