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

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.

I'm sorry:(( I'm dumb.

I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.

I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).

Sorry I got your hopes up

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'm planning to buy:

As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.

Any other recommendations?

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.

Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

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

Is there something on your wishlist that's on discount?

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I've been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

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.

Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I'm sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.

Pseudoregalia is insanely good

Animal Well for me and teardown for my kids. So far…

Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!

Like Pseudoregalia, it's another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

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.

I'm exaggerating with the explicit 'need' word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn't even get a conclusion to one of the assassin's creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I'm basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we're creating

So... who's getting what?
