Steam Winter Sale 2022: What's the Damage?
- Thread starter thebobmaster
- Start date
Thanks, I 'll give it a go when I get back from Xmas. Looks like the sort of fame that's entertaining for a couple of hours then fades quickly after that
I sold off a whole bunch of Steam trading cards that were cluttering up my inventory and put the proceeds towards Forza Horizon 5. Can you believe this game is 114GB? Weren't we mocking Call of Duty for its ridiculous install sizes? Good thing I've got four SSDs in my system.
Nothing, but there are great sales across most platforms, if you want them.
Not Steam, but I got Prodeus (Switch) for $19.99 on sale, and I used some points to get it further down to $17.41. That said, the game is on sale too at Steam.
Took a look. Few games that are on my radar are still selling 50% off! of $60 for a game that is years old. I can give it some more time. There are some great deals for new to PC gamers out there but my pile of shame has become insurmountable. I think there are 4 hours left in which to do something that will make me ask myself, "what the heck is wrong with you!?!" as that pile of shame beckons.
VR GOTY 2022 ? You set up to play this way?

I setup a few bendable rules for myself
I know I could just emulate, but I'd kinda like to play these on high-res texture PC if its an option. For a couple bucks I don;t mind installing them and getting a refund if its a rip off.
I'm not what you'd call a diehard hack & slash player, but I did enjoy the van helsing games and old diablo. I'm not however interested in open-ended grind focused hack & slash like path of whatever. Grim dawn has been on my list forever and at $6 sure why not
Disco Elysium has been recommended by pretty much everybody since release. I kept avoiding it because no one can quite convey whether or not I'll enjoy it.
Beat Hazard 2 will go in my vewlix arcade cabinets
Huntdown is getting ravs reviews and will go perfectly in an Arcade cabinet
Exceeds for the cabs
- Keep it under $10 preferably $5
- Game I know I want to play
- Must be discounted at least 50%

Sonic Mania, $5? sure why not
I dont really have a justification for this, but it sounds neat
*shrug*
Another one for the Arcade cabs
....cabs yes
I can't really get into NDA, but I need to do wifi bandwidth testing on the Oculus Pro so I picked up a couple VR games
Been wanting to play this since release, just havent been in my "budget"
Been on my radar since yatze gushed over it, just never got around to picking it up.
Papers, Please

Got some good games on that list, the Disgaea series is pretty awesome, but I find you have to be in the mood for that kinda strategy game. Huntdown is fantastic and looks amazing.
If you want some more good cabinet shooters then check out Zero Ranger, its not 50% off, but its never been lower then 25% off and you get much more play time out of it then most shooters.
There is also Steredenn, again, not 50%, but well worth the price for playtime.
Cool, I'll take a look.
Can't complain after seeing the price change
Disgaea 2 PC - $4.27

You'll have to tell us how Steam VR and your Oculus work and your thoughts on Arizona Sunshine and After the Fall work. Two great games. Sunshine came out first by same team that made After the Fall. The 2 have tremendous similarities but substantial differences in strategies.
Ha ha! I made it through without buying a single thing.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... just nothing really grabbed me.

Nothing. I think I maybe don't really enjoy games that much anymore. Very little jumps out at me and says 'buy me!'
Inherit the Earth makes me sad. Apparently the devs wanted it to be a serious story about post humanity earth where uplifted animals wonder what happened to us and the publishers saw anthro animals and went "so it's for kids, right? RIGHT?". The devs apparently had to push back at every fucking turn to avoid the whole thing becoming a kiddie cartoon.
It annoys me because there are some interesting chunks of mystery concerning humanity being missing. The opening uses artwork to depict humans uplifting animals followed buy humans fleeing from a giant bacteria/virus. In the end game you find alarms in futuristic building still blaring "Evacuate!" Possibly centuries after humanity vanished. There was no sequel so we'll never know what happened.
It's notable you're not finding corpses or bones in these ruins. They're abandoned but still functional and not a dead human in sight.
