We’ve got two big sales going on, and I’m currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I’m planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it’s 60% off, and I’m trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I’ll find a few that I “need” to try!

Disco elysium and hades.

Disco Elysium shouldn’t be bought because the devs won’t get a cent from the sale, pirate it, that’s what they want you to do.

Can you cite a source for the devs requesting it be pirated? I can’t find one.

That would be a poor legal strategy since the whole issue is still in the courts. So there is no official statement on that.

Don’t buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.

The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won’t get to profit off what they created.

It’s a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>

Can’t recommended DE enough, and for that price it’s a must buy.

Never encourage people to buy that game, the devs don’t get a cent and don’t want you to buy it, they want you to pirate it.

Thanks for the recommendation! It’s not necessarily something that would jump out at me, but it seems people really like it.

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.

You’re an inspiration to us all. Well done, sir!

I on the other hand may have crossed the threshold where I have more games than time to live. I’d better get a move on.

I bought Horizon Zero Dawn when it was 50% off. For me it was really worth it. Got every achievement for it. I plan to do the same when Horizon Forbidden West is 50% off.

It’s definitely a great game, when it reaches the right price point for you

I too have a backlog, but it’s fairly small. I tend to play genres of games by spells, so I often have a few of each type in my queue for the day I’m interested in that kind. While I don’t force myself to finish a game I don’t like, I do try to keep the number of unplayed games low!

I often find myself looking at some of the PlayStation games, but I often find myself disappointed once I start playing them. The main series of the former exclusives that I like is Uncharted, but many of the others I’ve just lost interest in after a few hours. That being said, Uncharted games are very short, so maybe I just don’t like most long games anymore! Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy were both a lot of fun though.

I know the feeling of getting sidetracked by old favorites! I run into that with Morrowind as well as Stardew Valley, The Sims, Farming Simulator and a few others!

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.

Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I’m the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It’s the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.

That’s why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.

This is why I can’t replay it… the first time I played it I did everything I possibly could; all the little icons, side quests, traipsed all over each region a dozen times or more… it took hundreds of hours.

I boot it up again, manage to choke down the first “tutorial” area and get to the next are and shut it off… it’s no good, I can’t do it.

The Witcher 3 is pretty good. I normally don’t like a lot of fantasy games, but the Witcher and Elder Scrolls games are two that I like for some reason! I finished the whole game and both dlcs once. I started a second playthrough, but that is mostly running around and playing gwent! 😂

Both Euro and American Truck Simulator are really good games. I like to just put on a podcast or some music and drive for a while. If you find you like it, the dlc states are worth the price in my opinion. Especially since they go on sale pretty often!

If you like eurotruck but want something a little more intense, snowrunner is great. Base game has well over 100hr of gameplay

Thanks for the recommendation! I actually already own Mudrunner and Snowrunner, and they are lots of fun. Slightly less relaxing than trucking, but they are good games to play with friends too.
