Patient Gamers

• I keep hearing that Mass Effect is a series I would like, so I finally got the Legendary Edition for $5.99.
• I have also heard of Mages of Mystralia as a good game for magic mechanics, so got that for $4.99.
• Trombone Champ for $5.99. I like silly memey stuff and I'm a former band kid. I also never played the trombone, which explains why I am buying the game instead of just playing my own trombone instead.
• Sixty Four for $4.19, as an incremental game fan

I am not sure whether to pick up Noita because I have heard of its great magic mechanics, it also sounds like something that will frustrate me way too much. I'll probably try on a friend's computer first

I encourage everyone here who hasnt played Celeste to pick it up for $2. One of the goats

I spent about $140AUD on euro truck sim 2 DLC, plus American truck sim and a lot of DLC

itch.io has a summer sale as well!

I yoinked Undertale and Fallout 76. I just finished FO4, before that was New Vegas, and 3 before that. Finally got hooked on Fallout after years of trying and just not jiving. The show motivated me to try again.

My pickups have been Horizon Forbidden West, Subnautica, Spelunky, middle-earth: shadow of war, and Pony Island

I don't have exact price breakdowns, but it was total about 60$ with the vast majority of that being H:FW at 45ish.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.

I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they've only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.

For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a try.

For Hades, I've always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I've been craving an isometric real time combat game too.

Disco elysium and hades.

Baldur's Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

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.

no i still have a huge backlog to go through and i still have to pray i dont contract skyrimitis and play that for the 400th time

I'm kinda offended with these deals. They were great when games were $50. Now that they're trying to charge $70, the deals are just getting prices down to the old regular price, not seeming like a deal at all to me. Now I have to be even more patient. Oh well...

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.

Just got Stardew Valley. I'm a little reluctant to start it though- it seems like one of those games I could sink hundreds of hours into and I have a huge backlog. But I'm excited to try it.

Finally picked up Dave the Diver.

I already have a lot of unplayed games, so I'm keeping my list small. I also really like indies, so here you go:

• The Hex - in the "deep discount" section; I liked the dev's other two games (Pony Island and Inscryption), so I'll probably enjoy this one; they're all on sale too
• Firewatch
• Celeste
• Gris
• Filament
• Chaos Reborn

These are all <$5.

And some other games I might get if I finish an in-progress game:

• Psychonauts 2
• Hogwarts Legacy
• Bomb Rush Cyberpunk
• Little Nightmares 2

These are from larger studios and are at historical lows (I think). I just need to finish some longer games before I get even more.

Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don't play it, its fine. Like Celeste

I bought like 20 games within the last year on sales and played maybe 4 of them, this time I try to be strong.

Personally I find that terra invicta requires way too much micromanagement and waiting for turns to pass so I can't recommend it but if that seems your speed or idk if there are mods to help then go for it

I just got the pack with Tunic and Death's Door. I had Tunic in my wishlist for a while and finally bit the bullet. Yay! 2 more games into the backlog!

There's a Pacific Drive + Techtonica bundle I'm looking at and might grab.

Part of the problem is I'm obsessed with Satisfactory which scratches a lot of the itches Terraria did but in 3D.

I finally got spiderman remastered. I don't have much time to play it so I've already downloaded a cheat table so I can have unlimited everything.
