GameGrin: "With only a few weeks to go until the sale is typically up and running, we here at GameGrin thought we'd take a moment to point out some of the best games to look out for this time around. We chose based on likeliness of a big discount as well as games that will probably be reduced due to an oncoming sequels/expansions. Of course, there are also some simply great games that should be picked up regardless of the discount."
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
whew... I thought the sale had already started. I rushed to login to steam before this page even loaded.
You can already get Borderlands 2 for $15 from Amazon digital summer sale they got going on now. They also have good deal on a bundle pack that comes with both games and the Borderlands 2 season pass for $22. Steam will probably run he same deal during its sale.
Might finally be a chance for me to get Day Z! :D bit late, I know...
Dam, more games to buy that I might never play. The list may grow. Oh well enjoying Arkham City and Company of Heroes 2 for now.
give me metro last light or company of heroes 2 for 25.00 and im good :)
