TFTB is a really great game (as far as telltale games can be called games) and should be instantly picked up by anyone who even remotely like telltale-style games.

It's not about that though - earlier sales may have been more frustrating when you lost out on the best deal on the game(s) you wanted and made you lose more money, but they were a lot more fun.

Now, it's just, "check your wishlist during the sale and pick up whatever you think is worth it and you'll play before the next sale". Earlier you actually paid attention and followed the sale for the entire period - it was fun and exiting the whole time, not just the first time you checked into steam while the sale was going on.

Yea, you missed out on some good deals, but it felt a lot better to actually pick up one.

We're gamers. The earlier sales were basically a game - now they're just business with no challenge or fun.

I really enjoyed watching my wife play tftb and second that rec.

Speaking of telltale games, The walking Dead: Clementine, all grown up, came out with the first two episodes. Looks like it will be sufficiently great

Yeah the sales were fun, now it's a one time check unless you want to keep up with the cards (I try because at least there's some sort of game/feedback mechanism). Also FWIW you can check all the sales off and confirm at one time, trading is the real bitch now since each has to be done individually.

There's another poster who always plugs Invisible Inc, which I think I saw for $6, and since he hasn't chimed in yet I'll echo it (also $3 for iOS I think and free on PS4 for + subscribers). Every time I pick it up I think "goddamn this is a well made and enjoyable game."

I approve this message.

This sale is overwhelming for me. I havent been playing anything outside of wow/hearthstone/LOL for like 7 years now up until august. I got a sick laptop back in august that can play the graphically demanding pc games finally. I see a ton of playable games on sale, i cant play all of them its impossible.

Only games i have are Overwatch/2k17/shadowofmordor. My style of games are sports and rpgish games. I'm a old school gamer used to love all the square rpgs for 16bit etc. My one drawback is limited time(as us all) so i dont wanna buy more then a couple of the big games.


You guys sound like hardcore gamers. What would be the most buys for you if you only were gonna pick up a couple and had a empty library? The ones that jumped off the page to me at first glance currently are Witcher 3 and hyper light drifter(zelda is what im thinking). If theirs any sick value cheap games out there id prefer to pick those up of course.

For the old school rpg feel, try undertale or stardew valley

More modern rpg? Mass effect series or dragons age: origins series

None of those are terribly expensive and probly give an inordinate amount of playtime put together.

Witcher 3 and Mass Effect trilogy are both must play if you like rpgs. You could probably get the whole Mass Effect trilogy for the price of Witcher 3.

I actually just started replaying the ME Trilogy since I haven't played any of the ME3 dlc and can't seem to find my old saves.

Or buy the excellent cheap Witcher 2 as a warm up to Witcher 3.

Currently playing Witcher 3, 2 hours in, already a fantastic game. But you all know that anyway.

Cool im gonna check out reviews on every game suggested 100% and make some decisions. I was only going to buy 3 but im guessing im going to buy at least 5 looking at the prices on some of these titles. Its crazy how many good games are out there nowadays.

I'm going to buy witcher now as everybody has named that as a must buy. Also going to buy the South park rpg its only 7.50 and ive always wanted to play it. This steam sale seems like every game i've seen that i thought i might want to play is on sale its wild.

Thanks alot guys if any other suggestions come out ill be reading for sure!

The binding of isaac

Ummmmmm, Crusader Kings II.

It's pretty much all I play.

I see the witcher 2 is only 2.99. Should i grab it and go through it first? Need more hours to play all this stuff geez!

edit: picked up that undertale game as well. looks like a unique experience that has a 16bit feel and its only 4.99

Just buy everything.

No, buy all the things

lol right, I'm maxing myself at 10games FML. Theirs just so many cheap titles limiting myself to 5 would suck.

Give in, feels good

Buy 10 games then spend all your time playing Rocket League

FYP but yeah same idea!

I was a big supporter of this game, but I'm afraid it might end up one of those perpetually in development games.

They were supposed to leave early access last spring but it has been postponed indefinitely and the developer's notes on the updates ramble on w/o giving a clear vision of where the game is going. I do enjoy what they have produced so far, just be wary of buying the game b/c of what the devs are promising and may never get around to or they might go the route of H1Z1 and split into 2 separate games at some point.

There were a lot of good comments already, I wanted to add my two eurocents.

Obviously Witcher 3 is an excellent choice and seems like a game that everybody will love unconditionally and one that could yield you literally hundreds of hours. Witcher 2 holds up also well and is super cheap. Mass Effect series and Dragon Origins are very good as well. Many people like also recently released Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin.

Undertale has been named by many the best game of 2015, however not everybody loved it. It's from what I know an unusual game so experience may wary. Stardew Valley is probably a bit the same, a lot of people absolutely love it but some people just don't get it.

South Park is excellent, but not really as a game but as a way to experience the South Park world. It's not the gameplay that's best here but the script and so on.

You mentioned Zelda, many of us absolutely love here The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth with its DLC Afterbirth. I put in it over 300 hours. It's a roguelike so every run is different and when you die that's it. A run lasts usually anywhere between 30-60 minutes (if you don't die sooner). There are many more absolutely marvellous roguelikes on PC so if you get hooked up I can recommend you more.

You mentioned Shadow of Mordor, if you like open world action games then obvious choice would be from the recent titles maybe Mad Max, Batman series, Assassin's Creed series (some of the titles are ****, read up on the reviews). Slightly different with more rpgs elements but also rather challenging would be Dark Souls series, this is actually my personal favourite with huge world, very cryptic story and simply overall amazing. I took me about 5-10 install/uninstalls to get into it, I was getting frustrated but I knew there's something magical about the game that kept me coming back and retrying it.

Since you mentioned Overwatch there are many more titles since the genre is very popular, there are a lot of titles easily googleable. Battlerite and Paladins from recent 'hits' come to mind. A classic like Dota 2 you might also want to check out, however it's rather hard to get into.

Rocket League is amazing and you should reconsider. It's in a short a car football game. What makes it great that due to the way the learning curve works you find it as enjoyable at 10, 50, 100 and 300 hours of gameplay because you can do so many more things and you perception, skill and strategy for the game changes a lot keeping things fresh. Easy to get it, hard to master. I can see myself playing it for years.

I have to go. I could write possibly something more but have to end it here.

Is invisible inc a rogue like?

I found it extremely hard to learn or get good at because of how quickly I'd die or have no clue where I was supposed to go or how to improve between lives.

Yes. Before playing watch some "Witcher 1 abridged"-video so you have some idea what's going on in the world. There is an official version by the developer.

Or play Witcher 1, it's the best in the series.

Thanks for taking the time to write this informative post!

Yeah I was considering the binding of isaac im just gonna just pick it up. I've heard alot of good things about that game and its cheap.

Dark souls from what i gathered while looking cool might be a bit frustrating for my taste. I seen mad max was dirt cheap i might pick that up since i liked the movie. I think between witcher 3,mordor, and a mad max or possibly batman I'm stocked for awhile on open world action rpg style games.

I like the sounds of the fallout,mass effect, dragon age, and elder scrolls series but i cant get all of them but im gonna be choosing one or two to play around with. I was taking a look at both the divinity and pillars of eternity games as well ill have to consider them.

As far as rocket league I'm not sure how good the multiplayer experience will be for me in Thailand. I'm limited on multiplayer choices as only certain games are playable here. I know ive always heard great things about the game so ill have to check online if that plays ok from here.

DOTA im not to interested in. I played enough LOL to i hit as good as im gonna get and got bored. Also my friends at home all play league so if im gonna play a moba I'd stick to that one.

Yeah i bought south park because im a huge fan of the show. Messed around with the very beginning already and it seemed fun.

I'm also looking for some type of easy mode multiplayer or even single player game that i can play with my GF. She was not to happy when i told her how many great games im gettin, she said "now i get no attention"(said with thai accent) . Was thinking of picking up like a leggo game or something to mess with for her. If anyone has a suggestion on a cheap game a girl would like to mess with out there I'm all ears.

Thanks again guys. You really got my brain working on what to buy. Been youtubing alot of these suggestions and really they all look good! Only problem i see is theirs so many good franchises and games nowadays you cant play them all. These kids are spoiled these days with quality titles geez.
