The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - AUTUMN SALE 2024

[Don Peste]

I remember how much I enjoyed your graphs last year.

 

[Anthedon]

A lot of CivIV and some turn-based RPGs gets you this, weird.

 

[Axel_am]

No wonder there are times I feel like a toxic piece of shit animal.

Here's another of mine then

Apparently I played new games more than an average user, and 73 games in total, while average user plays only 4 games throughout a year Also:

Where's the difference between turn-based combat and turn-based tactics?

Tactics. One has strategic thinking, the other is the world's slowest zerg rush.

 

[Axel_am]

You are right guys. This MOBA grind is absolutely disgusting. No more MOBA's until I get a new rig.

 

[Gostak]

To whoever wanted all the webs:
This goes counter-clockwise from top:
Pirates 2.75
Roguelite 3
Stealth 3
Space 3.4
Action Roguelike 0.8
Grand Strategy 2.75

During Winter Sale I saved some of a paysafecard remaining value by picking up R6 Raven Shield and Sector Six.
From my collection I have recently been playing: Streets of Rogue, some Heat Signature and a tiny bit of Delta V.

So, now 2023:

Looter Shooter 1.6
Roguelite 3.5
Grand Strategy 1.5
Space 2.9
Detective 2.4
Western 0.6

 

[Halfling Rodeo]

Looter Shooter 1.6

Care to recommend some of them?

it seems that Rise of Flight is just about done getting converted to the newer IL-2 engine, although the price is a bit *much*

War Thunder devs: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Not sure what to make of this one. The base game is free, yet there's also a 90-cent DLC to add content.

More than that, there's an upcoming title called '100 Capitalist Cats' which suggests further monetization.

Is this a gateway drug?

They make their money by using your system to mine bitcoin. Probably.

Final fantasy combat VS Xcom maybe?

Sweet. Another Cooking game. I always wanted to learn Asian cooking through comedic cooking games.

 

[Gostak]

Looter Shooter 1.6

Care to recommend some of them?

Actually it's not really my genre and I only have one applicable title in my Steam library which I think I picked up with some
"loose change" on a prepaid payment option I use there so it would not go to waste.


The Sector Six demo appeared fine enough for that.
Cool music and distinct artstyle and a constant flow of new instant gratification loot to potentially mod/ upgrade your "ship" with.

Other than that? Heat Signature might count in a way and most certainly the sweet, sweet mod
Doom Infinite

I appreciate cool loot more in roguelikes like Incursion.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Valve developed and published.

 

[Doctor Gong]

Winter Sale Started, and I already spent some coin.

Outer Wilds -- Echoes of the Eye
Return of the Obra Dinn
Myst -Masterpiece Edition
Riven

 

[GloomFrost]

RoboCop is 30% off! Not too shabby.

 

[Modron]

Nothing I really want is marked down all that much probably will just grab Psychonauts 2, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, and some cheap adventure games. More money for Kingsvein and LaD: Infinite Wealth.

 

[Azalin]

I see Solasta Lightbringers Edition is now 60% off,it was 59% off during the previous sale,57% off during the Black Friday sale,56% off during the summer sale.
Now if they keep the same pace it will take approximately 15 sales to get to 75% off or about 3 years to get there

 

[Infinitron]

All-time lowest prices:

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I see that the sales reached a new level of pitiful shitiness and my wishlist is now full of random numbers like -13, -19 or -24%, wtf. The only step left before seasonals increasing prices are fractions.

 

[karoliner]

Not even 4 months and is already 50% off

 

[Spike]

Really tempted over Wo Long. Wondering if I don't nab it now I'll have to wait a Whoah Long time again before it's on sale, and lower. It's slightly more % (43%) off than Nioh 2 (40%) which released in 2021. However, Nioh 1 released in 2017 and has a fat sale (77%). I enjoy these games so much I will probably grab it but it makes me wonder. Would get the deluxe for the DLC expansions.

Also getting Caves of Lore (for sure, half off), Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (half off), Bleak Faith: Forsaken (only 25% but figure it's like 4 dudes and indie so unlikely to go much lower in future and I've been meaning to play it...though maybe I could still wait), Hi-Fi Rush (also only 25%, but I kinda want to play it soon though maybe I could wait as well...). I may have just talked myself out of half of the items in my cart.
