No. want xenoblade like action rpgs not souls like.
I honestly hate most of the gameplays of ff series. I might get started with the ff7 remake at some point tho

 

[amigastar]

For now just bought Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.
I remember playing the Prince of Persia Sands Of Time back in the day. I really liked it.

By action RPG are you talking like Diablo/Path of Exile because that's what I would call an ARPG, or are you meaning more like third person action like Souls, DMC, etc?

Highly recommended if anyone is looking for a Vampire Survivors-like game. Not much of a sale since it just came out last month and still in early access but cheap fun.

Looks good. Never heard of it.

There's so many VS knock offs the past year I'm tempted to get one. This game has much better production values and looks like has some inventory management elements to it. I'll keep it on my watch list as I sift around other similar games..

 

[StreetsofBeige]

sooo like, what do you think? For some reason it has me thinking about battle brothers but clearly it is not the same.

Havent played it yet. I'll get around to it after Xmas.

Death Must Die is great. The loot aspect makes it that much better for me because I love me a good loot oriented game.

I like using Cheapshark to browse storefronts.

CheapShark

Digital Game Deals, Compare PC game prices on Steam, GreenManGaming, Gamer's Gate, and more!

www.cheapshark.com

Some decent stuff I'm seeing on Steam...
-Half-Life Alyx - $20
-ME Legendary - $6
-L4D2 - $1
-Hunter: Call of the Wild - $4
-Tomb Raider 2013 - $3
-RE2 -$10
-The Ascent - $9

It's worth using Cheapshark to search games you want to buy. GreenManGaming and Fanatical will often beat Steam during sales.

Noticed Split/Second from my wishlist was not on sale so checked on gg.deals and get it for $3. $20 on Steam.

cool, now we got steam and gog winter sales going.

 

[simpatico]

Shout out to Blasphemous 2. For my tastes I vastly prefer it to part 1. Easily surpasses The Last Faith as best Metroidvania this year. But honestly if you like the genre you should get The Last Faith too. Just know it's a bit imperfect, but the visuals make it worth going through a few warts.

Checked out the 8 Bit version of Bloodstained and holy shit is it good. Also got The Messenger. A NES Ninja Gaiden-like with an absolute slapper of a soundtrack.

Is the Battlefield 5 campaign worth $4?

I didn't care for the original Blasphemous but the art was tremendous. I'm a little hesitant on the sequel because of that. And speaking of Metroidvania, the mid-way turn in The Messenger ruins what was a wonderful experience up until that point.

The sequel is way less frustrating. It's more like Bloodstained or SotN than the first game. I say try it. I wish i did earlier. You can always refund it, and it you won't have to play long to see the difference. Went from a 2D souls game to a proper Castlevania Iga clone. Not nearly as frustrating. A complaint in reviews is that it's too easy. For me there's still a stiff challenge, but there's a lot less frustrating projectile enemies.

 

[phant0m]

buy this game

 

[Arsic]

Got Achilles for $14.99 and zone of the Enders second runner for $5.99.

Refunded Achilles.

Nah. I'll wait for Titan quest 2 lol…

 

[StereoVsn]

That's a really great recommendation and possibly my favorite Ys game (haven't played 10 yet).

It's definitely worth it, especially for the crazy price here. It's also a better game than IX.

it's very good, I dumped 12 hrs into but beware that it's early access and it shows, there's only 1 level.

But it's cheap and I like the direction it's going in.

 

[Paltheos]

Ys 8 is cool enough that a guy like me who thinks the party-based Ys games are categorically worse than the classics still rates it high (it's still ranked like #5 though among Ys games for me).

Tough to make a recommendation without knowing what you liked best about it, but I can second the recommendation of FF12 based off the games' general design philosophies being the same but FF12 just being.... better. Both games set you loose in a series of large, pretty environments set to grandiose OSTs with largely automated gameplay loops. The difference is that FF12 offers you more control while simultaneously not forcing you to work any harder moment-to-moment. That management element was allot more interesting to me and made me feel like I was just playing a worse version of the same idea when I tried playing Xenoblade.

FF7R is actually pretty similar in a few ways like the auto attack and cycling between Arts/Ability on cool down with free movement. The graphics is great too.

My only issue is the game is too boring (could be the setting of Midgar and the characters). Could be just me but I very much prefer Xenoblade 3 over it, Xb3 is amazing.

It's basically VS with a Diablo type loot system and Hades god perks. Definitely one of the best VS-type games out there imo. Only problem is that there is only 1 level/map lasting 20min. There are like 5 characters or so right now though. You can look at their roadmap that they just posted a few days ago but they'll be adding Act 2 with some other stuff like a new character in Q1 2024 and Act 3 and more later on in 2024, probably Q2.

I played a couple of tails series yes, didn't like tailes of Arise though, it was way too liner

yeah honestly nothing compares to xenoblade series in terms of action rpg freedom imo. Good thing I'm saving xenoblade 3 for later.

already played it :|

Meh it was kinda boring, MP is still fun tho

 

[Paasei]

I really miss those Flash Sales that had an absurd discount for a few hours. The discounts now, especially for newer titles, are disappointing.

 

[GHG]

Think this is what I'm going with:

 

[Facism]

Man ff7 was hoping for a deepee discount on ff7 remake

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Whooh! Can't wait for the next Steam sales disappointment to start!!

BTW I'll still be checking my wishlist at gg.deals for any meaningful price changes. But my guess is that the Epic store will have the best prices of them all since there's an additional 25% off with coupons.

But the epic store is EVIL.

 

[thegame983]

Think this is what I'm going with:

I subbed to EA plus (or whatever it's called) to play the new Jedi game. I also installed the Dead Space remake.

Dead Space remake looked incredible but stuttered constantly. I uninstalled after about 10 mins.

Apparently its an unfixed regular issue on PC. Just a heads up.

 

[violence]

Is the Battlefield 5 campaign worth $4?

I put over 100 hours in multiplayer. The single player is standard stuff but looks amazing if you got a good enough PC. For 4 dollars absolutely. My favorite was the final chapter where you play as a German tank commander. I was legit scared of team stars.

Thanks, I'll give it a go and if I get issues I'll just refund it. No big deal.

At their current prices all of the BF games that have a SP campaign are worth it. Even Hardline.

Steam Labour of Love award

It requires a lot of labour to control the main character.

 

[Diddy X]

Just got this very cheap, I hope it's good.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Want a better deal on metal gear solid collection. I'm not paying more than 30 bucks for that.

Modding is pretty sweet. You can crouch walking on mgs3 from the 3ds version.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Anything interesting? Especially with Steam Deck support.

 

[Magic Carpet]

It was cheaper to buy the Talos Principal Bundle with both games than to buy just the second game buy itself. Weird.
By buying the bundle with the first game I already owned I saved almost 3 bucks.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

For now just bought Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.
I remember playing the Prince of Persia Sands Of Time back in the day. I really liked it.

Didn't even realize there were pc versions of the original trilogy. Bought.

And time to try my hand a souls game with elden ring.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Think Im passing this year. Had to buy other real life stuff, and a friend bought me Remnant 2 to play with him and I bought a month to play WoW besides that so Im good until Yakuza is out next month.

 

[sedg87]

Is Prodeus worth a buy?

 

[Windom Earle]

How do these sales get worse and worse? No difference to the standard weekend sales you get regularly.

 

[Crayon]

Not lighting my world on fire, here.

I still bought two games last night just disappointedly browsing tho lol.

 

[Ogbert]

How do these sales get worse and worse? No difference to the standard weekend sales you get regularly.

Because most games are almost permanently on sale.

 

[Laieon]

I've picked up more this sale than I have in any Steam Sale in probably a decade or so.

What I'm gotten so far:

Prodeus is amazing. Buy it.
