      Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.

      I’ve been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it’s 50% again now.

      I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I’ll regret it in the Summer sale… it’s 55% again.

      Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

      KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.

    I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

      do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don’t really like encouraging stuff like DLC’s if avoidable

        Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.

    Still unemployed so I’m not even looking. If capital doesn’t want to hire me, they can’t have any more of my money.

    Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.

    Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!

    All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.

    Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That’s just taking tax off and nothing else.

    I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.

    I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.

    I’m also looking at Spirit X Strike. It’s too reactive for my taste, so I haven’t decided yet, but I want to support the developer.

    Maybe I’ll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don’t remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.

    Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I’m picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it’s regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I’m pleased to see it at $10.

      Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for ‘three big games’ of content is a steal, though.

      It isn’t that ‘successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep’ is exactly unheard of - it’s a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn’t have been if they’d only spent half as much making it, and so we won’t be getting a PoE3 :-(

        For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.

    I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

    My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.
