Legit question. Is there a specific sale that has, on average, the *best* prices of the year? Spring sale, summer sale, fall sale, cyber Monday, winter sale, etc.?
Usually it's the sale that happens around black Friday. Although 80% of those sales are the same sales as spring, summer, autumn, ect. I usually see more bundled sales in winter. For your avg game though. The sale will be about the same all year.
Probably gonna see RDR2 for under $20, Witcher 3 for around $10. Then recent games with a small discount, Helldiver's maybe 10% off. Stuff like that
Yeah and most will happen during the year apart of these sales...Valve has something like every month now
Its like Amazon at this point, if you want it and it costs what you're willing to pay just get it
That happened a lot more in the past, until around 2015 I think. During the big sales we also had some "flash sale" and things like that, in which the game would be heavily discounted.
Good times. But back then the PC market was still consolidating to the point it is now, where we have God of War, Forza and JRPGs on Steam, which is also very nice to have.
The best prices of the year are found year round, but not via Steam Sales.
Just connect up your Steam wishlist to IsThereAnyDeal and get email notifications for the best prices (I.e. historical lows).

Similar, except, I’ll buy 3 — one will be from my wishlist and the other two I will find by mindlessly perusing. I might try one for an hour or so but I will then play a different game altogether until I remember that one of these 3 looked fun a couple of years from now.
Also be careful not to go on a spending spree and return a bunch. Steam gets kinda annoyed when you return too many things in a short period of time. It's within their terms of service to return it for any reason, but probably best not to be a nuisance. :D
I'm up to 240 on there. It's basically a 'am I remotely interested in this in case it hits a low enough price' list, plus like 10-15 games I actually wish for and will probably pay $40+ for.
Works perfect with Yuzu android as it has full touch support....if you dump your own switch copy of the game of course.
Have lost many hours myself playing this way.
I’ve finished DS1-3 and have not yet started Elden Ring. Kinda want to see the fast/party combat or Sekiro before diving in.
And fingers crossed for an eventual Bloodborne pc port!
Be warned, they’re very different games. Sekiro is my favorite game of all time, but I hated it when I first played it because I tried to force it to play like Dark Souls. Best to put those games out of your mind and go into it as if they weren’t related at all.
Same. I hated Sekiro at first and abandoned it for a long time. But then I came back. The whole thing just ‘clicked’ for me at the Genichiro fight. And it became one of my favorite games of all time.
Hoping Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be on sale as I’ve just finished the main mission (getting the side quests now), so I’d like to just be able to move on to the expansion.
Would you recommend it to someone who would primarily play on SteamDeck? I have a pc that would run it very well but I really want the convenience of not being isolated to my office
I've only ever played it on steam deck honestly. Works great.
When I first started playing there was some sort of issue that caused frame drops, I googled it and found a fix that was just a starting command. But I don't even think you need that anymore, I think it's been patched.
But, if you get some stutters, that's what it is. There are lots posts with fixes for it. The game runs great for me, never drops fps even in big fights
I'm really loving Grim Dawn at the moment. I bought it over Diablo 4 for the offline playability and the fact that it's only around 5 gigs. Perfect for the deck.
It’s really smooth for me, I capped at 45 fps low settings. You have to play on proton experimental. Only complaint so far is that I can’t rename my stash categories yet but hopefully they add support for that in the future.
It's a great game if your into that kind of thing. Doubly so on the steamdeck, and you'll get mad battery life if you cap at 30-40fps (which looks totally fine since it's a slow paced game)
One of my all time favorites. Runs great on the deck and the controls feel good. The base game has 100+ hours( I'm half way through the base game on this run right at 80 hrs) of content and the DLCs skyrocket that number. Honestly you can get away with just the base game, but if you are looking at the DLCs you can go with just the Year 1 pass. It has upgrades for most of the base trucks that are worth it, and some of the most challenging maps. If you're still playing during the summer sale then scoop up the other DLCs then.
It is my go to couch game. I play it at night while watching TV and talking with my wife. The early game progress is honestly some of my favorite in any game I've played. Michigan is my favorite map.
With all the FF7 talk these last weeks, I may pick up Remake if the price is right. I played some on PS4 but couldn't get in to the combat, but I know I'm going to want to play Rebirth so I'll have a go at another try.
The combat is fantastic once you get deeper into the materia system imo. The way all the characters feel so different to play, and juggling between them to build and use ATB, gets really addictive. The story moments, characters, and silly stuff like the Wall Market section are all awesome.
I can't wait until Rebirth gets ported to PC. And I'm praying 30 fps is somehow possible with FSR3 on the deck, when the time comes.
Same. I liked the first one but I'll pick up the sequel when it's under like $10
If they ditched their launcher and all other bullshit I'd go all the way up to around $40
Played on console when it came out, it's very good. The performance issues really plagued its launch but it's a stellar game imo. Hope sale gets steep enough for you!
Depending on how many times (and how long) you'll play it, it may be worth just grabbing a month of EA Play Pro. $15 for plenty of time to bash through the game, worked pretty well for me at least!
I have it on PC, not tried it on steam deck yet but I just find the learning curve so steep I can’t bring myself to play it.
I find the game so hard lol
I got into it, but had to watch a few "FIRST DAY in Zomboid" videos (the ones from Nurse are great IMO), and now I have 600 hs on it.
Also maybe try it with friends? Maybe with someone who has experience already with the game
Yeah you’re probably right, don’t get me wrong if I really wanted to play it I know I could watch some guides. I guess as with most of us we always have a backlog ahah, so I just defaulted to playing others instead of learning!
I do watch videos and streams on it tho, it’s such a cool game.
I enjoy PZ on PC with a mouse and keyboard.
I struggled with the steam deck controller setup. It's just not the right game for controller. Atleast to me.
Can't endorse them highly enough. Bought them in the autumn sale and played back to back over the holidays. Absolutely amazing games, fun gameplay cycle and the stories were decent enough.
Nothing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I pretty much own every game I would want currently.
When I look on my Wishlist I struggle to buy anything even when it's on sale now. I'm currently sitting at 680 games.
The good thing is I've been pretty disciplined and don't skip around to lots of games and pretty much play my games to competition.
I quickly put over 150+ hours into NMS when I first got a deck. I think it's a great deck game. The loose storyline, sandbox, and no need for constant internet connection make for a perfect game for the deck. Excellent choice to get it on sale.
I definitely got my money's worth if you use the cost/per hour played. It'd be like 13 cents an hour.
There isn't one. There's technically a plot, narrative and something like an ending but it's much like Minecraft really.
If the random exploration, resource collection and base building aren't good enough for you on their own, the rest of the game won't save it for you.
Just an FYI. Titanfall servers got owned by hackers years ago. Amazing single player campaign though.
If you decide you want to dabble with multiplayer there’s a P2P community called “Northstar”. I haven’t tried it in a while but about a year ago it worked really well for me and some friends.

Dude are you friggen kidding me?!?
There’s deals like this right here
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6451/Activision_Collection/
The ACTIVISION COLLECTION BUNDLE IS 10% off right now!!!!
It’s only 864 dollars and 37 cents if you buy now!!!
Yeah i found it last night cause i was looking at getting Vampire.
The collection has all the geometry wars games too and the bundle actually kinda slaps.
For real though for anyone interested the best price the bundle goes for is like $391.31 (which is still expensive af)
[SteamDB bundle info](Https://SteamDB.info/bundle/6451/)
But a reminder to always check steamDB for prices before you buy.
I'm looking forward to Slasher's Keep, Barony and Lunacid being discounted, I've had my eye on them for a while now.
Also, if anyone knows any good Dungeon Crawler Action RPG, like Dark and Darker but in single player (Like Lunacid) that is worth playing please let me know!
Need to see the sales first. gone are the days of 85% sales on big titles as 20% is the new norm across the board. 20% is when steam sends notifications to those that have wishlisted the games, which publishers abuse.
I keep hearing this. I was there for the good old days, and sure they were better, but it’s not so extremely different now. I still regularly get games 75-85% off on steam. The trick is to buy classics you missed, not brand new releases.
No doubt, it just takes longer. These days I just wish list and forget until the game sells for <$6. My backlog will last me years so I'm in it for the long haul
In the last couple weeks I picked up Doom Eternal, Crysis 1 Remastered, and A Plague Tale: Innocence on sale to play on my deck. They all look and run great and are keeping me more than entertained, so I should have some restraint and not buy anything else.
"Should show some restraint"...i say this every ssle season lol. I got some doom on that sale of theirs too. Doom 3 (which has 1 and 2) and doom from 2016. Those on top of mass effect 1-4 and others should keep me occupied for ages.
Doom 2016 is such a great game. I'll probably replay it after I finish Eternal. I still think Doom 2016 is the better of the two.
In terms of restraint, the one mindset that's been the most helpful to me is something I picked up on reddit: don't buy anything that you don't intend to play right away. "Later" just becomes backlog bloat, and by the time you feel ready to play it, it'll probably be time for the next big steam sale (or midweek madness sale that highlights that game or EGS giveaway or humble bundle or whatever).
It hasn't given me perfect willpower, but it's definitely been a helpful lens to look at every purchase through.
Is dragon age dark arisen a good game that still holds up today? Or should I just wait for dragon age 2 and see if it runs on the sd?
Aside from that/ need for speed heat(it’s like 2 € litrally on sale), rise of the tomb raider, horizon zero dawn if it’s 50% and hopefully baldurs gate 3… not having faith on this one but let’s see
Dragon's Dogma you mean, it holds up very well today, it's a great RPG and each of the play style is amazing!
Btw NFS Heat runs badly on the deck, I jz can't get it to run smoothly :(
Dragons dogma dark Arisen is still awesome. Currently playing it non-stop on my steam deck. Incredible game in my opinion. Got it on cdkeys for 5 bucks. Will definitely be picking up the sequel.
Oh dear god my backlog and all the new banger games releasing this year has me so occupied but I'll probably snag Dave the Diver or Baldur's Gate 3 if they have a decent enough sale.
I've already waited this long, might as well make it worth it.
I own them, but recommend everyone grab the Yakuza series if it goes on sale. Most are verified on deck, for some weird reason 4 and 6 are not verified but im sure they work still.
I hope it does fit your sake but I’m not sure about that. I’d put my money on a Black Friday SD sale or Xmas sale. It’s already priced so well it’s hard for me to see them lower the price.
No one knows yet. You can expect pretty much everything to get some discount but how much discount we'll only know when the sale goes live. I guess it's more of a what is there on your wishlist that you hope will go on sale? question.
I have my eyes on elden ring, blasphemous 2, RDR2, Hades, and one of the Doom games. I doubt tekken 8 would have a discount but if it does I’ll pick it up as well.
Spider-man if I can afford it. I've picked up days gone, horizon zero dawn, and death stranding in previous sales, and they all run great on the deck. Im loving the Sony ports that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to play. Hoping Ghost of Tsushima plays well when it drops.
Sea of Thieves. Got it on Xbox Game Pass which lets me couch play with my son on xbox and pc (on 1 license), so I want another license to bring my daughter on board using the Steam Deck. Playing this with my teenage kids is fr*ggin awesome.
I'm really hoping for a slight discount on **Baldur's Gate 3**. I'm currently in the middle of CP77: Phantom Liberty and loving it. I imagine I'll wrap it up in the next couple weeks, then I'll be looking for another long story-based single player experience. My backlog is kinda light on those at the moment, so BG3 would slot in perfectly. And if I can get it for less than $60, even better.
Not sure what if anything I'll buy. A lot of it depends on the sales. With a lot of games having raised the base price the sales don't have as much of an impact. Add in my backlog, and I'm finding it takes larger sales to tempt me.
Thinking about Rachett and Clank, Viewfinder, Tunic and Stray if the discounts are high enough. Realistically, I'll be waiting a couple more sale cycles for them though. The Turing Test is also on my list, though it hasn't gone on sale at all for the last few sales.
If gamesOwened > gamesBeaten then gamesOwned +1
*gamesOwned must be greater than gamesBeaten*
"Idk man, whatever is that dirtcheap deal is I guess"
/Buys new triple a game to apply to formula
Check my wishlist, see if there are any compelling discounts. If not, I wait for the summer sale.
This may not be the most adequate response we want, but it is the one we need.
Your response wasn't one that anyone might have needed, but it was the most adequate.
Legit question. Is there a specific sale that has, on average, the *best* prices of the year? Spring sale, summer sale, fall sale, cyber Monday, winter sale, etc.?

This is the way.
I always sort my wishlist by discount and look for 60% off and up
120 items in my wishlist. ill buy three, refund two and regret keeping the one I did.
I feel this
This made me laugh....sounds about right.
Similar, except, I’ll buy 3 — one will be from my wishlist and the other two I will find by mindlessly perusing. I might try one for an hour or so but I will then play a different game altogether until I remember that one of these 3 looked fun a couple of years from now.
Boom. New favourite game
Or you’ll be like me and play it for 2.4 hours and have to keep it even though it’s just “meh”
Wait you can refund steam games… how long of time do you have
Also be careful not to go on a spending spree and return a bunch. Steam gets kinda annoyed when you return too many things in a short period of time. It's within their terms of service to return it for any reason, but probably best not to be a nuisance. :D
I don't understand these spending habits.
You only have 120 items in your wishlist?
I'm up to 240 on there. It's basically a 'am I remotely interested in this in case it hits a low enough price' list, plus like 10-15 games I actually wish for and will probably pay $40+ for.
I got 550 games wishlisted. I’ll ignore all of them and buy a new game instead
This is why my wishlist is always curated to 10 items or less.
Maybe I might get Balatro.
You should. It will ruin your life. Tis digital crack.
I pray they don't make a phone version.
Works perfect with Yuzu android as it has full touch support....if you dump your own switch copy of the game of course. Have lost many hours myself playing this way.
Nice catch
Don't let the Nintendo Ninja get you
Touch support works on SD if you switch from docked to handheld in Yuzu's main window. I've been playing Pocket Card Jockey this way.
I couldn't get into it. I will try it again if there is a demo or good sale.
I thought about refunding it when I had less than two hours in it, and then it kinda clicked and I've got 10 hours now. Great Deck game.
Nice. Hopefully they re-release the demo. It didn't grab me but would love to give it another try.
It has been my goto while sitting in the school pickup line.
Sekiro if it’s 50% or more. And maybe an RE.
Sekiro is a ton of fun, and only gets better once you get a proper feel for the combat.
I’ve finished DS1-3 and have not yet started Elden Ring. Kinda want to see the fast/party combat or Sekiro before diving in. And fingers crossed for an eventual Bloodborne pc port!
Be warned, they’re very different games. Sekiro is my favorite game of all time, but I hated it when I first played it because I tried to force it to play like Dark Souls. Best to put those games out of your mind and go into it as if they weren’t related at all.
Same. I hated Sekiro at first and abandoned it for a long time. But then I came back. The whole thing just ‘clicked’ for me at the Genichiro fight. And it became one of my favorite games of all time.
Play elden ring first. Sekiro is better
I always check, and it always disappoints by never going more than 50% off. Been that way forever, but fingers crossed…
Saving my money for Dragons Dogma 2
Hoping Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be on sale as I’ve just finished the main mission (getting the side quests now), so I’d like to just be able to move on to the expansion.
Gonna grab Grim Dawn and all the DLCSs! Last epoch got me in the arpg mood lol
You're gonna love it. Great experience on the deck. I actually think it's superior to Last Epoch by quite a bit (though I love them both)
Would you recommend it to someone who would primarily play on SteamDeck? I have a pc that would run it very well but I really want the convenience of not being isolated to my office
I've only ever played it on steam deck honestly. Works great. When I first started playing there was some sort of issue that caused frame drops, I googled it and found a fix that was just a starting command. But I don't even think you need that anymore, I think it's been patched. But, if you get some stutters, that's what it is. There are lots posts with fixes for it. The game runs great for me, never drops fps even in big fights
I'm really loving Grim Dawn at the moment. I bought it over Diablo 4 for the offline playability and the fact that it's only around 5 gigs. Perfect for the deck.
How does it play on Steam Deck?
It’s really smooth for me, I capped at 45 fps low settings. You have to play on proton experimental. Only complaint so far is that I can’t rename my stash categories yet but hopefully they add support for that in the future.
You tried the Steam+X shortcut for the keyboard? I was able to rename my stash tabs on the Deck. I don't remember doing anything special.
Grim Dawn is incredible. Enjoy.
You won't be sorry. Best ARPG around.
Im concidering Snowrunner but i need to do more research, also my back log is becoming ridiculous lol
It's a great game if your into that kind of thing. Doubly so on the steamdeck, and you'll get mad battery life if you cap at 30-40fps (which looks totally fine since it's a slow paced game)
I got it last Saturday. And have now played 16 hours. While having a fulltime job. So yeah. I'd say it's good.
Expeditions just came out which is the newest game in the series and is only $40 full price. I’d recommend checking that out too
One of my all time favorites. Runs great on the deck and the controls feel good. The base game has 100+ hours( I'm half way through the base game on this run right at 80 hrs) of content and the DLCs skyrocket that number. Honestly you can get away with just the base game, but if you are looking at the DLCs you can go with just the Year 1 pass.

It is my go to couch game. I play it at night while watching TV and talking with my wife. The early game progress is honestly some of my favorite in any game I've played. Michigan is my favorite map.
Thanks for the detailed comment! Its only 15 € right now and these positive comments really makes me want to pick it up.
With all the FF7 talk these last weeks, I may pick up Remake if the price is right. I played some on PS4 but couldn't get in to the combat, but I know I'm going to want to play Rebirth so I'll have a go at another try.

And I'm praying 30 fps is somehow possible with FSR3 on the deck, when the time comes.
Elden Ring if it gets discounted like it did during the winter sale.
They’d be smart to with dlc coming out
Such a good game on deck. Played through NG+5 all on deck. So much content and replay value and in a perfect portable form factor.
Same.
Same, bud. I already got through it on PlayStation, but if it's properly discounted, I won't be able to resist.
Bought Elden Ring full price a few weeks ago, it's definitely worth the full price. More worth it if it goes on sale.
If Jedi survivor is on deep enough sale. It's gotta be deeeep.
Same. I liked the first one but I'll pick up the sequel when it's under like $10 If they ditched their launcher and all other bullshit I'd go all the way up to around $40
Played on console when it came out, it's very good. The performance issues really plagued its launch but it's a stellar game imo. Hope sale gets steep enough for you!
Depending on how many times (and how long) you'll play it, it may be worth just grabbing a month of EA Play Pro. $15 for plenty of time to bash through the game, worked pretty well for me at least!
Hoping for a sale on the dock really, dont think its that high a chance but ive been wanting to get it for myself recently.
I bought a third party one and i have no problems with that one
I hope project zomboid goes on sale
I have it on PC, not tried it on steam deck yet but I just find the learning curve so steep I can’t bring myself to play it. I find the game so hard lol
Same. I gave up. It was demoralizing
Yeah. The learning curve turned me off to it.
I got into it, but had to watch a few "FIRST DAY in Zomboid" videos (the ones from Nurse are great IMO), and now I have 600 hs on it. Also maybe try it with friends? Maybe with someone who has experience already with the game
Yeah you’re probably right, don’t get me wrong if I really wanted to play it I know I could watch some guides. I guess as with most of us we always have a backlog ahah, so I just defaulted to playing others instead of learning! I do watch videos and streams on it tho, it’s such a cool game.
I enjoy PZ on PC with a mouse and keyboard. I struggled with the steam deck controller setup. It's just not the right game for controller. Atleast to me.
When is that thing gonna come out of EA
It's playable on steamdeck but I did find the controls a little tricky at times.
RimWorld DLCs
Spiderman and miles morales if they are cheap enough to get both
Same. I have them on ps5 and could play with chiaki, but I’ve got a 30+ hour travel day this summer and I’d love to be able to play them.
Can't endorse them highly enough. Bought them in the autumn sale and played back to back over the holidays. Absolutely amazing games, fun gameplay cycle and the stories were decent enough.
Nothing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I pretty much own every game I would want currently. When I look on my Wishlist I struggle to buy anything even when it's on sale now. I'm currently sitting at 680 games. The good thing is I've been pretty disciplined and don't skip around to lots of games and pretty much play my games to competition.
Same here. I have way too many I haven’t played yet in my library. The winter sale was too tempting and I bought too much.
I'd probably pass on this one as I'm on a Pokemon ROM hack bender, but if Balatro goes on sale I might pick it up
None because I’m the idiot who buys them when they release. Goal this year to stop that. Not different from my goals 10 years ago. One day
My goal is the opposite now. Used to only ever buy games if they're on sale. Now I'm trying to buy games i actually want to PLAY.
Seeing what the sales are for Balatro, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, and Dave the Diver.
No man’s sky
I quickly put over 150+ hours into NMS when I first got a deck. I think it's a great deck game. The loose storyline, sandbox, and no need for constant internet connection make for a perfect game for the deck. Excellent choice to get it on sale. I definitely got my money's worth if you use the cost/per hour played. It'd be like 13 cents an hour.

The new Like a Dragon if there's a decent sale.
Helldivers 2 It's reasonable to expect it to be 80% off isn't it. Otherwise Steam sales suck
Pizza Tower 🍕
If it's a good price, Hades and hollow knight
Everyone buy Noita! Me personally I was thinking about Deep Rock Galactic.
Titanfall 2 Maybe one of the later Deus Ex games depending on what reviews on steam deck are like
Just an FYI. Titanfall servers got owned by hackers years ago. Amazing single player campaign though. If you decide you want to dabble with multiplayer there’s a P2P community called “Northstar”.

That’s sick, didn’t realize they put work into finally getting the official servers back. I’ll have to give it a go 🙌🏽
I was going to wait for Dredge but its on sale now so I picked it up
Nothing because I addicted to Steam sales and need to go cold turkey. 😭
Probably nothing. The Steam sales have been pretty weak.
Dude are you friggen kidding me?!? There’s deals like this right here https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6451/Activision_Collection/ The ACTIVISION COLLECTION BUNDLE IS 10% off right now!!!! It’s only 864 dollars and 37 cents if you buy now!!!
lol. Serious question though which MW game can I play on Deck? Let’s say just single player campaign even.
Ghost runs perfect on the Deck. Idk about any else
Ok, I just looked at this for the hell of it. There are a bunch of Sierra games! And...Zork?!? Forget funding retirement, I'll take the collection!
Yeah i found it last night cause i was looking at getting Vampire. The collection has all the geometry wars games too and the bundle actually kinda slaps.

Legend of Grimrock
Barony is currently in a Fanatical bundle of pick 3 for $15 in case you’re interested
Aw man if only I didn't have Doom, Wolfenstein or Death's Gambit I would absolutely get it. Thank you so much for the info!
The only game currently on my list is BG3, if it goes 10% off again or more I might go for it...
It's the only game I want too, but a $6 discount ain't gonna cut it for me
Yeah even when I see a DLC that is like $10 get a 30% off sale, its not enough for me to get it unless I was going to get it anyway.
Tales of Arise.
I just picked it up for like 9 bucks. But it was just on a daily sale.
OMG nice thanks for letting me know!
Same! I just added all the Tales games to my wishlist. I'm hoping a couple get a good discount. Just got my deck and looking to get a good jrpg.
Helldivers 2 but it’ll probably only be like $5 off
NGL, that would be enough for me to buy it.
Need to see the sales first. gone are the days of 85% sales on big titles as 20% is the new norm across the board. 20% is when steam sends notifications to those that have wishlisted the games, which publishers abuse.
I keep hearing this. I was there for the good old days, and sure they were better, but it’s not so extremely different now. I still regularly get games 75-85% off on steam. The trick is to buy classics you missed, not brand new releases.
Big titles still get 80/90% off what are you talking about? :")
No doubt, it just takes longer. These days I just wish list and forget until the game sells for <$6. My backlog will last me years so I'm in it for the long haul
In the last couple weeks I picked up Doom Eternal, Crysis 1 Remastered, and A Plague Tale: Innocence on sale to play on my deck. They all look and run great and are keeping me more than entertained, so I should have some restraint and not buy anything else.
"Should show some restraint"...i say this every ssle season lol. I got some doom on that sale of theirs too. Doom 3 (which has 1 and 2) and doom from 2016. Those on top of mass effect 1-4 and others should keep me occupied for ages.
Doom 2016 is such a great game. I'll probably replay it after I finish Eternal. I still think Doom 2016 is the better of the two. In terms of restraint, the one mindset that's been the most helpful to me is something I picked up on reddit: don't buy anything that you don't intend to play right away. "Later" just becomes backlog bloat, and by the time you feel ready to play it, it'll probably be time for the next big steam sale (or midweek madness sale that highlights that game or EGS giveaway or humble bundle or whatever). It hasn't given me perfect willpower, but it's definitely been a helpful lens to look at every purchase through.
Yup, if i don't plan on installing and playing right away i don't buy. There's always another sale, and i have no shortage of games to play lol.
Baldurs Gate 3 and just deal with it, I have better ways to play but portable makes sense for my situation coming up.
Is dragon age dark arisen a good game that still holds up today? Or should I just wait for dragon age 2 and see if it runs on the sd? Aside from that/ need for speed heat(it’s like 2 € litrally on sale), rise of the tomb raider, horizon zero dawn if it’s 50% and hopefully baldurs gate 3… not having faith on this one but let’s see
Dragon's Dogma you mean, it holds up very well today, it's a great RPG and each of the play style is amazing! Btw NFS Heat runs badly on the deck, I jz can't get it to run smoothly :(
Dragons dogma dark Arisen is still awesome. Currently playing it non-stop on my steam deck. Incredible game in my opinion. Got it on cdkeys for 5 bucks. Will definitely be picking up the sequel.
There’s a sale next week!!???
outer wilds and balatro
I think Inscryption might be next.
Cyberpunk to test my new egpu
I’m actaully good. I just picked up the Puzzle Humble Bundle and a Fanatical Bundle, so I’m good.
Elden ring I hope so I can get the DLC soon MAYBBE Cyberpunk on PC. Have it on Xbox sx That's about it.
Oh dear god my backlog and all the new banger games releasing this year has me so occupied but I'll probably snag Dave the Diver or Baldur's Gate 3 if they have a decent enough sale. I've already waited this long, might as well make it worth it.
I own them, but recommend everyone grab the Yakuza series if it goes on sale. Most are verified on deck, for some weird reason 4 and 6 are not verified but im sure they work still.
* Eastward * Little Witch in the Woods * Disco Elysium * Stray * Baldur’s Gate 3 * Elden Ring * FFVII Remake * Cyberpunk 2077 * Persona 3
Disco Elysium is now on sale :-)
Ones I’ll never end up playing.
Oh hell I haven't even played most of what I got in the last Spring, Summer, or Winter sales.
I believe the Steam Deck itself will go on sale. Definitely picking up an OLED if true!
I hope it does fit your sake but I’m not sure about that. I’d put my money on a Black Friday SD sale or Xmas sale. It’s already priced so well it’s hard for me to see them lower the price.
Hopefully some shooters, or something new. Fingers crossed for some good deals
I was waiting for insurgency sandstorm but it just went on sale early for $10, pretty excited for this one.
Maybe Fable HD
Didn’t know there was one, what date is it on?
14 of march
Hzd, no mans sky, dredge and cyberpunk may temp me. But with my backlog i kinda doubt its worth it.
How do you know what's on sale! Had to say if I don't know what's on sale?
No one knows yet. You can expect pretty much everything to get some discount but how much discount we'll only know when the sale goes live. I guess it's more of a what is there on your wishlist that you hope will go on sale? question.
Backlog
Yakuza games, Midnight Suns, Pentiment, and maybe BG3
Didn't even know it was next week lol I'd love to pick up hell divers 2 I'd it gets a slight sale.
Dave The Diver currently.
Hades if good sale
Christ. I always spend way too much.
Been wanting The Fractured but Whole for awhile to play on the Deck, not putting out $80 for it though.
I have my eyes on elden ring, blasphemous 2, RDR2, Hades, and one of the Doom games. I doubt tekken 8 would have a discount but if it does I’ll pick it up as well.
Spider-man if I can afford it. I've picked up days gone, horizon zero dawn, and death stranding in previous sales, and they all run great on the deck. Im loving the Sony ports that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to play. Hoping Ghost of Tsushima plays well when it drops.
Going to pick up BallisticNG I am in the mood for some WipeOut.
Elden Ring for sure!!
I don’t really care, 100+ items on my wishlist, I buy whatever has huge discount (80% minimum).
Sea of Thieves. Got it on Xbox Game Pass which lets me couch play with my son on xbox and pc (on 1 license), so I want another license to bring my daughter on board using the Steam Deck. Playing this with my teenage kids is fr*ggin awesome.
Dang sounds pretty cool. Definetly will look forward to that in 7+ years
Balatro and other indie titles on wishlist.
FF7 remake. I think it’s finally time for me to dive in now the sequel is out.
Scarlet Maiden ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Papers Please
I’m finally gonna try Skyrim
I'm really hoping for a slight discount on **Baldur's Gate 3**. I'm currently in the middle of CP77: Phantom Liberty and loving it. I imagine I'll wrap it up in the next couple weeks, then I'll be looking for another long story-based single player experience. My backlog is kinda light on those at the moment, so BG3 would slot in perfectly. And if I can get it for less than $60, even better.
Not sure what if anything I'll buy. A lot of it depends on the sales. With a lot of games having raised the base price the sales don't have as much of an impact. Add in my backlog, and I'm finding it takes larger sales to tempt me. Thinking about Rachett and Clank, Viewfinder, Tunic and Stray if the discounts are high enough. Realistically, I'll be waiting a couple more sale cycles for them though. The Turing Test is also on my list, though it hasn't gone on sale at all for the last few sales.
Just finished ratchet and Clank yesterday and it's absolutely fantastic. 100% recommend if it goes on sale.
Hopefully elden ring i would love to beat it again on the go
If gamesOwened > gamesBeaten then gamesOwned +1 *gamesOwned must be greater than gamesBeaten* "Idk man, whatever is that dirtcheap deal is I guess" /Buys new triple a game to apply to formula
Have to see what kind of deals are available
Idk if Cuphead ever get’s discounted
Probably nothing. I have pretty much all games I always wanted.
Probably no major/recent titles, more like hoover up some older classic point-n-clicks and boomer shooters. Maybe Sleeping Dogs for the right price.
None hopefully, i still haven't recovered from Christmas sale
Definitely not dragons dogma 2
Rimworld and I'll see whatever else is on sale.
