Sniper 2 or Sniper 3 ? (it also matters if one is more difficult in some way than the other, I don't enjoy difficult games these days)

I much prefer 3, I play on the easiest game mode, and find it to be great fun. You still have to be somewhat strategic in your planning, without worrying too much about bullet drop and that kind of junk.
Fuck this sale, I was hoping to get through the month only getting #FE and the Sega Ages games lol
Interested in:
Broken Age
Child of Light
Donut County
Flipping Death
Little Inferno
Minit
Ori
Sayonara Wild Hearts
Tangle Tower
Transistor
Where the Water Tastes like Wine
If I had to parse it down to just 3, which ones should I get?

Seemingly every game I am interested in but DQXI and Links Awakening is on sale, which is rare. Probably grabbing Witcher 3, AC: Rebel Collection and maybe Hotline Miami Collection or Dragon's Dogma. Hmmm.
Yup, unless Puyo Puyo 2 releases over there within the next two weeks, we won't be behind anymore, at least temporarily. That was the plan since the start but things kinda... didn't go as planned. lol
Dammit I literally just bought river city girls and sayonara wild hearts on Saturday lol. I need to be better at waiting to pick things up when I still have other things to play so I can get these sales
in this day and age I legit don't understand how anyone buys games full rpice outside of the release window. no offense :(
Oh damn this sale is bananas. Gonna have to make a list to trim down. Think I'll go for Donut County and Curse of the Moon at least, for sure. Maybe River City Girls too?
Damn.
Edit: Pix the Cat is a damn good game y'all better check it out.

Saw a lets play of that game from Markiplier for that game it is pretty cool horror game. Very unique concept.
43% off Mario & Sonic Olympics Tokyo 2020 when it released only two months ago? WTF? o_0
I was so close to buying it at launch but now I'm glad I didn't. The other digital versions of past M&S games on 3DS/Wii U rarely (or never) went on sale, so I wasn't expecting this one to get a steep discount so soon. I don't think it even cracked the top 10 in US eShop best sellers at any point (although it was up for pre-purchase months before release which plays a factor in that) so you have to wonder if it underperformed sales expectations, which would be crazy considering two of gaming's most well-known mascots are in it, on a console that thrives on party games...

The equivalent to the European first party sale?
When did it start? I'm usually on top of this lol
Wanted a music game and needed a beat em up for hanging out with my friend at the bar 🤷♂️. Still sucks when it happens
For me it's pretty simple: Limited time to play games.
It really comes down to what I want to play when I want to play it. More often than not, the games I wait for to go on sale either never do (i'm digital only), or by the time they are on sale I don't have the time to play them.
If I didn't buy RDR2 on the day of release (as an example), I most likely would never have played it because that window of time is long gone. Paying full price is a drag, but more often than I'd like to admit, it's a necessary for me to play what I want to play.
Ok, I see what you're doing here: I'm not buying The Witcher 3 just because I'm enjoying the Netflix series.

Hhhhhmmmmmmrrrrrrgggggg!!!

Hhhhhmmmmmmrrrrrrgggggg!!!
but...you DID buy RDR2 day 1, thats "the release window" like I said :p
Pretty crummy tactic by Tomorrow Corporation to stealthily raise the price of three of its games (Human Resource Machine, Little Inferno, World of Goo) to $15 last summer when they were previously $10 for two-and-a-half years before that, only to discount them in this sale to $9 for "40% off."
I mean c'mon, guys. You're not fooling me with that load of crap. 🙄

Any thoughts on Tangle Tower? Animation and voicework seems excellent and I miss a good point and click mystery/detective game.
*sees Groove Coaster going on sale for $50 a third time since its release in November*
I'm starting to think they felt $60 wasn't a good idea. At this rate, I can't help but think it'll be $30 in a few more months.
Otherwise, my wishlist just has the Sega Ages for $2 off, which isn't that tempting considering my backlog & TMS next week. I may get Gal Gunvolt Burst since that's half off, though I'm playing the 8-bit Bloodstained at the moment. Also really wish you could sort alphabetically when doing searches...
Actually, speaking of 8-bits, ASW is releasing a game at the end of the month called Code Shifter that's a crossover between Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Kunio, & more, but all in 8-bit. It's weirs & out of nowhere, yet interesting.

Puyo Puyo Champions and River City Girls are mine. Groove Coaster needs to put its DLC on sale, hopefully in the future. VC4 and Bomberman R are also interesting.
Bamco has been killing it with their sales lately. It's always largely been the same discounts every time, but the frequency with which they're doing it has been amazing. I think this is their fourth sale in the past two-ish months? Really nice stuff. A total reversal since I posted this almost exactly a year ago:
I take it back, Bamco.
Now release a new Klonoa for Switch. ;)

These meager Groove Coaster discounts are such a tease. At least we know Taito is willing to drop the price (unlike other publishers who send their games to die with no discounts for years), so I'll be waiting patiently for it to hit that $30 sweet spot before I bite.
And just go ahead and grab those SEGA AGES games, man. They're two freakin' bucks and won't go cheaper than that. M2 deserves every penny.

Thank you both for the info. I'm glad to see it's on sale now in the US for sub-$4. That is super cheap. Putosaure, did you like it before you got stuck? And for both of you, do you typically play PnCs? Getting stuck for ages in them is so common for me (in the handful I've played) that I was wondering if they're one of your preferred genres, like, if getting stuck and quitting was normal for you with this genre or if the getting stuck felt more egregious/frustrating than in other PnCs. Hope that makes sense, coming out of a long workday so my brain is extra melty.
My pleasure. Hope you two dig it if you get to playing. Is one of your other Koopalings Lemmy? You can tell him he's my favorite.
Dash Kappei and I have been in this for a long time so I'm gonna be super sad if he put me on ignore.
Nope they stopped back in July 2019. You can only redeem them at this point if you haven't used them up yet.
I REALLY liked the demo they have of the game on the JPN eShop. I recommend checking it out. I don't know why they haven't put it out in other regions. But you should switch shops and check it out. The game seemed really fun if you already like these Olympic games. That sale is very tempting!
Back in the day, yes, getting stuck in King's Quest V, Fate of Atlantis and other PnCs was a part of my routine. And it was ok, because I had lots of free time, so it wasn't frustrating at all and I remember how great it felt when I finally found out the piece of the puzzle I was missing. GF is this kind of game, so if you're fine with it, go ahead.
I still like PnCs, but my gaming time is limited now (wife, kid, job), so the only way I can play them is with a guide, and I don't think it makes much sense to play them this way :(
Oh, I know there are some Brazilian friends around, so let me add something: the Brazilian Portuguese voice acting is absolutely wonderful.
Posted about it a few months ago. These were my initial impressions:
And my thoughts on the ending if you care to read. No spoilers.
