For me it was Shadow of War but that's because I like those kinds of games.
Origins has a great world and protagonist, but you're really not missing much by skipping out
The combat never rises above decent, the gameplay grows tiring by the halfway point, most of the side-quests are dull, and the narrative is a complete mess
Also, the PC port is trash
TEW2 by a massive margin
Did it have the patch to drop the micro transactions and rebalance things yet?
Been waiting for that, but $20 isn't a bad price for it.
Day One Buys: Ikaruga, Night Trap, Firewatch, Okhlos: Omega, Virginia, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Lara Croft GO, RE4, Total Annihilation
All for under $35. Can't wait to look at these games over the next thirty years like, "I should play these sometime..."
Thinkin' about AssCreed: Origins - Hidden Ones as it's $5. I heard Curse of the Pharaohs is much better, but I wanna play both, and I feel like I can wait and pick that up when it's cheaper than $10.

I suspect the answer for my question will be "no", but I'll ask anyway: is there a FPS game on Steam with a single-player campaign as good and fun to play as Doom (2016)? Or at least something close to it? The only one I can think of is Bulletstorm, but — although it's good — it ins't at the same level.
Yeah, as much as I always wanted an AC game set in Egypt, for some reason Odyssey seems to be appealing to me even more.
I think I'll hold off and get that one. Should have improvements over Origins.
Weird to hear the PC port is bad, seems like that had mostly been ironed out by now.
I remember looking forward to Seven back then, but the lukewarm reception pushed me away from getting it day one.
How's the general concensus now?

Assassin's Creed Rogue or Syndicate? I'm looking for a more classic Assassin's Creed game after Origins.
No. You can just buy whatever on any day because dailies and flash deals don't exist but you're likely to find better prices on places other than Steam these days.
Makes no difference when you actually purchase them, they won't go up or down throughout the entirety of the sale.
Syndicate by far, though I can't speak for the quality of its port. Come to think of it, has there ever been a good AC PC port?
Rogue is worth checking out, since it's AC4 with the stealth garbage cut out, but it is mechanically rough nowadays, and even maxed out it doesn't look too hot.
So, I just ended up rebuying a bunch of games I bought on console day one for full price and had backlogged lol. Devil May Cry 4 SE, Quantum Break, Bayonetta, and Mad Max.
Was going to pick up The Evil Within 2 because I have it on PS4 Pro but backlogged as well so figured "Might as well play the version that can go 4k." just like the other games mentioned, however I always check PCGamingWiki before buying a PC game and that prompted me to do some research and ultimately download the demo. God, this game performs terribly on PC! Even using all the tricks (RTSS, Pre-rendered Frames, various forms of Vsync) won't give me a locked 30fps on ANY graphical settings at 4k.

I went into it blind a few months ago and couldn't put it down (not that it's very long), it ended up being one of my favorite games I've played in a very long time...
I've purchased FFIII, IV, V and VI for 66% off on the SE store. They did it during their anniversary sale few years back.
Edit: Here's the stat for FFVI on Steam - they discounted it for up to 70% as the max but that was back in 2016.
You will see similar stats for FFV too.

Shadow Warrior 2 was great. The gunplay isn't quite as perfect as Doom's but the traversal and melee stuff is a ton of fun.
Haven't played it myself yet but it seems like they've fixed most of the issues (bugs and jank) that the game had at launch.
Brilliant. You can sort of Enhance some of them on your own with mods, but if they're on sale, grab them and enjoy. Icewind Dale is especially brilliant if you like dungeon crawling hack 'n' slash. The story is a bit slim, but the combat is outstanding. A good combination of quick brawling and strategic positioning + proper use of spells.
I've got some bad news for you on the Uplay front. Steam just launches it and then you launch the game from within it I'm afraid.
I second Shadow Warrior 2. It's packed with content and weapon variety as well.
Just do yourself a favor and skip all the cut-scenes
I see. I think it depends on the game. FF VI is more like an exception than rule.I've purchased FFIII, IV, V and VI for 66% off on the SE store. They did it during their anniversary sale few years back.

I never see newer games and remasters discounted more than 50%, even games like VII and VIII have always been at 50%.

top 10 game of the last few years for me. great replay value, great variety, easy to get into... grab it.
Sorry, because I'm sure this is asked all the time time....How is the steam controller nowadays? Mostly concerned about how well the cursor part of it feels/controls.
Well ya , nowadays we probably wont see it happening anytime soon or if ever lol - I guess they are content with the price its going on for now.
Anyways, the Steam store is the worst place to shop for FF games when the SE store, GreenManGaming, Amazon, Gamestop and NewEgg had offered better prices.
Edit: There was this one instance where FFX/X-2 HD remaster and Type-0 were discounted to $10 on the SE store but that was a price error :P - kinda regret not buying Type-0 for that price, thankfully was able to get FFX/X-2 HD for around that price on GMG.
Yeah, I've already played & beaten AC4: Black Flag late last year. I remember really enjoying it, though I didn't 100% complete it (which I never do for any AC game, except for the first one weirdly enough). Do you think I would miss out on much (story or gameplay wise) if I skip over Freedom Cry for Rogue?
Also I did knew about Freedom Cry DLC being cheaper, but I'm curious if there is any differences between it and the standalone version?
While I haven't play it myself yet, I believe Everspace has permanent progression aspects.
Got FF12 so far since I really loved the hell out of my old PS2 version. Keen on getting Skyrim SE for the expansions which I dont own for the base game but isnt the modding support for it kind of a mess?
Still cant justify paying the local equivalent on $10 per FF game from the nintendo era.

Total Warhammer is the best entry into Total War IMO, and in terms of Warhammer lore it doesn't really matter. There's no story per se, it's an open-ended campaign based in the Warhammer universe. There is little-to-no story, just objectives and events. All the information you'll need will be there, in-game.
But if you want to read the story of the Total Warhammer games... I invite you to read The End Times entry on the Warhammer Fantasy wiki. It covers what is essentially the timeline of the games, as I understand it, and goes over every faction's role in the final battle, which is what Total Warhammer is all about. Read up on any person, faction, or event you'd like, there's a lot of lore to soak up with varying degrees of depth. Set aside several hours to get through it all--it's a lot.
Now, both Total Warhammer 1 or 2 are a good entry point, however I'd recommend getting both to gain access to the Mortal Empires campaign in Total Warhammer 2--it's essentially both games combined and it's great. But either way, don't worry about the DLCs until you sink your teeth into the main game.
Also, feel free to join the Total Warhammer OT if you end up digging them.
Syndicate is great and plays a lot like classic AC games.
Nope no difference between standalone & DLC version. If you had to pick between those, I'd say go for Rogue definitely. It has some cool stuff to add to the overall AC story (if that's still considered a thing at this point) while Freedom Cry felt like cut content/side missions for Black Flag. Rogue was more like "more Black Flag" - which is a good thing. Plus you'd have way more content in Rogue than Freedom Cry.
Looks right to me. Well done!
Picked up FFX/X-2 HD Remaster. Had the PS4 version but it seems the PC version has 2x or 4x battle speed up toggle and of course PC graphics customizable.
Hope it's good.

It's still early but it's my baby for the low low price of $0.51

Yeah, I hadn't played a Total War game before Total Warhammer, and I loved it. It isn't particularly lore-heavy either but it does give the basic world structure and key figures, which might actually make it a better entry point than any other Warhammer game contemporaries. For instance, something like Vermintide 2 - while being an extremely excellent game - sort of throws you willy-nilly into the minutiae of the End Times experience. Total Warhammer is a much more accommodating broad baseline of the world.
It's a really well done game. I think that if you're the type of person who sees the faction dividing lines on the overworld and ownership markers over cities and the multitude teeny-tiny units on the battlefield and thinks "Hmm, that might be interesting", it'd be pretty darn hard to be disappointed with it.
Oh no, you did good
because I didn't know Mad Max was $5 and that's pretty much the exact price point for me to look at it and go "Hmm...."
But yeah, good luck wrapping those up before the next sale :P

Thanks. I probably will skip Freedom Cry then, and spend the money for that on another game or DLC.
Both Hollow Knight and Celeste are absolutely fantastic.Bought these games:
They all seem great.
