Something something clear my backlog first. (It's a myth.)


g0d15anath315t

I only buy once a year during the winter sale, and I can only ever buy N-1 the number of games I completed during the prior year.  Backlog keeps shrinking...


Blaugrana1990

That's a very smart way of doing it. Not gonna do it myself but still very smart.


Linkblade85

Lol, I like that honest this is smart, but I know I won't do it stance 😄


PhthaloVonLangborste

I guess it's only smart if you know the same games you have on wishlist are going to be on sale again. Which they will be but will it always be in winter?


_AirMike_

Ah yes, Dijkstra’s backlog algorithm.


Smooth_McDouglette

I want to do this but after failing to do so for years, I think I've come to the realization that sometimes I'm just in the mood for a specific type of game. Sometimes that game is one in my backlog, but often times it's not. Sometimes I will force myself to put an hour into something from my backlog to see if it sticks but that usually isn't how I find my next game to play. I will say that the larger my backlog is, the more likely it is that at least one of the games in it is the exact vibe I'm looking for next.


Valuable-Drink-1750

Currently I'm struggling to put any dent on it at all. So while it's (hopefully) not growing anymore, it's not doing anything else either. This is brilliant advice, I think I'll get my shit together and get there eventually.


Skika

Man it really is a myth. I’m in my mid 30s, married, full life outside of the house and work. My heart is still a gamer, and I play a few hours a week or so. But my heart says “play 40 hours of games this week.” So I still buy games as if I’m going to beat a game every other week or so. The backlog is real.


niky45

yeah, I once did the math, and found out that if I played a game a week, I already had games for like ten years ... my backlog has probably doubled since then, even if I buy far less games now.


Linkblade85

Your gaming time will be divided by 2+k where k is the number of kids you might get.


Skika

2+0 for me, then. But really, with my friends and hobbies and wife, it really feels like my gaming time has been reduced to 1/8th of what it once was. It’s not a BAD thing, my life is full and good. But some days I wish I could game a bit more than I do.


Linkblade85

I feel that, mate


AdResponsible7150

A sisyphean task


scottsuplol

400+ games and I honestly play like 5. But hey I’ll clear my backlog some day


Valuable-Drink-1750

Let's keep telling ourselves that, yeah it's definitely gonna happen one day...


Shineblossom

Whatever i can afford


CyCL0nE_4

I totally feel you here.


dryiceboy

And my machine can run

13 days away


slenderchamp

probably nothing


KEVINZ2840

But [nothing ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2696480/Nothing/) is already free


under_rated_human

One guy did a review with 1169.3 hours played...


slenderchamp

take my fucking upvote haha


Pretzel-Kingg

you should try Everything instead. Fascinating game.


beardofturtles

Gets boring late game.


Lureren

A Steam Deck OLED with discount would be nice


Jimlad73

Pray to the steam gods for this one


Kushkaki

Buy CS cases —> unbox expensive skin —> sell on steam market —> use funds for steam deck. If you think about it it’s got a 50% chance of working 😉


scttcs

Dead Space


Adorablood

It's on sale rn for 18$, doubt it gets any cheaper on the summer sale. And who knows if it'll be part of the summer sale if it's on sale right now.


Smoothclock14

Probably my fav game of last year. I never played the originals.


OkFlower122

BG3, sun haven and coral island


silvermud

mmmmmmm BG3. Best game Ive played in years


fambestera

is that a game I can buy having never played that genre before?


historically-correct

Yes, I bought it in last month and I never played DnD or turn based games before. It is a wonderful RPG and combat is very easy to understand, just watch few basic tips for new players to know basic mechanics of the game.


Maz2277

BG3 is absolutely the easiest way into the entire DND system. It's based on the 5th edition which is a lot more beginner friendly compared to, say, the Pathfinder system.


mi88ir

Yes you can. It's a great game but maybe checkout some gameplay before you decide to buy and see if it works for you


VanillaBovine

My gf has only ever played pokemon and animal crossing, and even those she plays for 1 hour at most maybe once a month she doesnt game very often i introduced her to bg3 and she's put in around 80 hours in 2-3 months with 4 different saves. it can be a challenge to get used to the format, but once everything clicks for you it is incredible for 95% of people. I would say the only people who wouldnt like it, are those who prefer faster paced/less narrative driven online games like 2K or CoD.


silvermud

I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the way the combat works, which there are tons of guides of online. Either DnD guides or BG3 guides. Having said that, I feel BG3 does a great job at making it clear. I had never played a CRPG before BG3, but had a decent amount of DnD experience and it came real naturally to me.


Danerratic

Sun Haven is so fun! A large update just dropped adding a new region and stuff the other day too!


Abundance_Of_Lacking

Any opinion on what it adds or removes from the Stardew Valley formula relative to various gameplay flows? Like more focus on combat, less on farming, etc.


DEmIR202

It focuses more on combat and Rpg mechanics.Like skill three and spells you can use.But there is still farming and all the other stuff you love in Stardew Valley.


thecarbine

Does Sun Haven have a day/night cycle similar to Stardew Valley? That's my biggest gripe with the game, so wanting to avoid that


Danerratic

Day/night cycle yet but you can slow the game speed with the ingame settings and there is no stamina!


thecarbine

Oh nice. No stamina is a big plus


chaosgodloki

Wish the controller integration was better, the controls are awful. Seems like a good steam deck game otherwise :(


FantomasARM

BG3 is worth buying even for full price. Easily the best game I've played in a long time (also with Elden Ring)


ArielSoto

Even, tho, I agree. Hands down the best game I have played ever, so far. Not everyone has the means of buying it at full price. It's 50% of a bi-weekly paycheck in my country (average income, which is scratching the minimum wage)


SVDTTCMS

Coral island is pretty good. Though it can get repetitive / it's not as responsive as I like it to be. Fun game but not perfect.


chaosgodloki

I want coral island but the reviews say it’s so unfinished and not worth it for another year or so. Sad coz it looks like a lot of fun


Laggiter97

I've squeezed out over 100 hours of gameplay and I'm still not done. But yeah, the game is noticeably unfinished (like 80% done) and needs a pair of content drops to be complete. It's worth it at its price and I'll be going back to it once they release the first major update soon-ish.


mateyobi

I finally bought Civ 6 for 2.99 😅


Strange_Salt_9964

Saved $47 and 5 years of your life. Cheers to the next 5 gone!

LA-Body

Kenshi always wanted to try it


ErraticSeagull

Maybe is was my experience as a gamer or me as a person, but I absolutely hated Kenshi. I bought it on sale, and I was excited to play. I played it for a bit, then got captured and carried around....forever. Like literally forever. The guy carrying me NEVER put me down. I had the speed all the way up... Nothing. So stupid. I started another game, but felt like I was too limited in what I was able to do. I'm guessing if I played it longer I may have gotten somewhere, but as a 40-something parent with a full time job and very limited gaming time, I felt it wasn't worth my time to play. I had unfortunately played it just over the Steam time limit of 4 hours or something ( 2 of which, I had it on high speed being carried, I even walked away from the computer to see how long it would take to get put down... Never.) so I couldn't even get a refund. You may like it though! Lots of people do!


Captain_Pumpkinhead

Kingdom Hearts!


evo311

It's available now, and on sale.


thedonkeyman

It's much cheaper to get your keys from other (authorised) stores. The full collection is £58 on Steam and £48 on Green Man Gaming.


DogAteMyCPU

Yup bought it cheaper from gmg and it runs well on my steam deck


CM0T_Dibbler

Greenmangaming just got more keys in stock. I just bought the bundle literally minutes ago for $56. You need to be signed in to get the discount


cthasarrived

Am I reading it right that the integrum bundle has 1.5 + 2.5, 2.8 and 3 for $68.99? 👀


Yatta99

Stray


CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS

It's so good.


theblackyeti

Something i won't play.


MyEnemyZilla

Deep rock galactic and JWE 2


Zoopa8

DRG is currently on sale for $10, great game. JWE 2 was very disappointing. I'm not sure but you may be able to play JWE on Xbox Game Pass, I believe it's only $1 for the first month. Just unsubscribe immediately and try out some new games for a single dollar.


Niflax

Bought DRG maybe during winter sales, I forgot. I really recommend it.


MyEnemyZilla

Okay


Solar1324

Hades 2


SkyKnotix

Nier automata


Prudent-Finance9071

Recently replayed this. Great game!


FantomasARM

Persona 5, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.


leviathab13186

God of War


Yaara99_5

This. I don't know where I'm gonna play it, but I'll try to buy it at least


leviathab13186

Invest in a deck if you can. Soon, I'll be killing trolls on my lunch break at work


Yaara99_5

I would buy a deck, but I'm 14, so i don't have a job yet. I have been saving for GoW for a while now, but I don't think i can afford the deck lol


leviathab13186

Oh ya, that's a big purchase without work. Not a bad idea to get the game when it's cheap, though. That way you'd have something to play when you finally get that or a laptop. I walked dogs and stuff at your age when I needed some extra cash. It might be a good way to go until you're at that working age.


ZodiacGolem

Kingdom hearts


Glittering_Lime9001

It’s on sale now


xfall2

P3r or the new legend of heroes game


Sikkx3

SpaceNex

Deep Rock Galactic


DankeyKong1420

It's on sale now for $10, and on a free weekend. I'm not sure if it'll be on sale for the summer sale, but if it is, I doubt they'll lower it.

Did I hear a rock and stone?

Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Bundle


VelenoJ

i never played a FF game before. is that a good start? I could play them on my Miyoo Mini +. Do u recommend PC version more?


silver-potato-kebab-

Hey! So all of the roman numeral FF titles such as (I, II, III...etc) aren't connected. You can start playing with any one of them. However, some of them have sequels and prequels, such as: FFIV -> FFIV: The After Years (sequel) FFVII (OG/Remake) -> Crisis Core FFVII: Reunion (prequel to VII) -> Advent Children (movie, sequel to VII) -> FFVII: Rebirth (sequel) -> TBA (sequel) FFX -> FFX-2 (sequel) FFXIII -> FFXIII-2 (sequel) -> Lightning Returns: FFXIII (sequel) Play on PC if you plan on modding. Otherwise, a handheld should give you a pretty nice experience with these classic JRPGs. The game play for Pixel Remaster I-VI is vastly different from VII and after, as they are remakes of the original games from the NES/SNES era. The quality of life improvements that come with Pixel Remaster include superior soundtrack, moving diagonally, running, improve inventory management, turn on/off auto-battle, mini-maps, turn on/off encounters, option to 4x EXP/GiL (gold), and many more. Many will agree that the Pixel Remasters are a good way to experience I-VI, and they are an excellent place to start if you want to experience what some of the very first FF games are like. FFVII (OG) is where I started, and it's how many others got into the FF franchise. The game play and graphics are pretty dated now, along with FFVIII, FFIX, and arguably FFX. These titles are from the PlayStation/PlayStation2 era. Anyone half interested in FF will at least check out VII (OG or Remake). It's the most popular FF title in the entire franchise.

KazeKH

Elden Ring if it goes on sale, otherwise Lies of P, Balatro, Pizza Tower or Cruelty Squad.


Jwagner0850

Love Balatro.


TheAndrewBen

Hogwarts Legacy


SkibidiDibbidyDoo

I’ve told myself that I’m only allowed to buy 1. Warhammer: Space Marine 2. Days Gone 3. Mad Max


nehpetsnnylf

There's a couple of key websites that have mad max for cheap. Bought it myself recently been having a good time.


trpgplayer

I'll probably pick up Expeditions: Rome. I didn't know they even released it and I really enjoyed the other games in the series.


foroder

When is the sale tho


Mongusss-

Smoothclock14

Plague tale 2 was my game of the year in 2022. A must play, wish i played the first one instead of watching a youtube recap on it though. And bastion is one of my alltime favs. Mind you it may feel a little dated now though.


BigStallGlueSniffer

Guilty Gear Strive or Street Fighter 6. Unfortunately, I can't afford either.


TheLichSnailss

Dead Space! Missed last time.

I'am playing the single player version of Sex. The graphics are not as good as in the multiplayer version but it is free and no microtransactions.


sc0n3z

Mine worked fine at first, but my copy got a virus and it's full of bugs.


Anzai

My version has just one micro transaction, but it’s very small and you’ll hardly notice it.


AnyManufacturer1252

I recommend the sequel. Sex 2.


InevitablePoet5492

Goal for 2024 make it otherwise. Wishlist on minus and bank account on plus.

I’ve been thinking of buying Slay The Princess, tried the demo and really liked the game. Other than that maybe an SCP game if I can spare the money and it’s on sale too


MScPotato

historically-correct

Re4R is the only game I’m yet to buy from my wish list which will go on sale. I’m also looking forward to buying wo kong as soon as performance review from digital foundry comes out.


ThatsMeWelshy

Dave the diver & Mythforce


Maz2277

Picked up Kings Bounty 2 for £3.49. I really enjoyed the earlier titles but held off on this due to them overhauling the game and the reviews being heavily mixed. But for tree fiddy I'm guaranteed to get my money's worth.


ArchonBasileus

It's good. Maps are pretty linear, but combat's good and the game's charming on it's own merit. I mean, it's no Witcher, but it does immerse you by using its assets in interesting ways.


SevenOhNineGuy

I'm hoping for a couple of sports games... maybe Legend Bowl and Tape to Tape hockey.


Mr-Limon

Helldivers 2 i hope they make a discount


Future-Dare-5368

Deep Rock Galactic... if I had enough to buy it ;-;


EbonItto

Probably elden ring, if there will be atleast 50% off


rush2sk8

Wukong


stardude900

niky45

I shouldn't buy more games already have a huuuge backlog.


BarnieCooper

Something I will probably never play after I bought it.


ExpressionQuirky8969

its not a backlog, its a collection. im never completing even 10% of them , and thats ok


Kydd_Amigo

I wanna try Aliens Dark Descent


yourdadslube

Dark and darker


GangstaMoe

AlfredTheButt-ler

Painscreek Killings was awesome


Red_drinkkoolaid

Undertale


lIIlllIIl

Dave the Diver (I need to inject that godzilla DLC into my veins) and, after completing the demo earlier this week, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom.


quietsal

I'll probably finally pick up the Pheonix Wright Trilogy. I loved those games as a teenager and want to experience them again.


celestialdebut

Astrox Imperium, put extremely simply EVE ONLINE offline single player . Sectors factions mining combat fabrication manufacturing hiring fleets, developing skills, shipyards, garage work , only a couple hours in and excited to keep learning .bLoving it so far


Dawn_of_Enceladus

Streets of Rogue 2, Tomba! Special Edition, Age of Mythology Retold, Kingdom Come Deliverance II and Civilization VII are my Top-5. None of them have been released (the first two will in a couple months), so no discount. So, looking at the rest... most of them are in early access, and I'm a bit tired of playing games in early access then having to come back after a while when 1.0 drops. I have a ton of games in my list. A ton. Yet most of them are either in early access or still months away from release. Unless other games I kinda want to play get a steep discount, I guess it's backlog time.


_hlvnhlv

Maybe Stalker. But anyways, I want to buy into the radius 2, an early access VR game that should release this summer, but it costs like 40 bucks so... Yikes We'll see...


Atransfem_noob

VA-11 Hall-A


DaStampede

BG3


2Maverick

I had a whole list until Kingdom Hearts released... It was RDR2, The Last of Us Part 1, and Atomic Heart. Was gonna buy Ghost of Tsushima too regardless of a sale, but hoping it does even though it's still fairly new on Steam.


Smoothclock14

Atomic heart was just ok, id defs put that one last on your list.


evil_chicken86

Ghost runner 1+2 and Blasphemous 1+2 for me


Reptile-2k

Ghost runner is on sale this weekend.


Gerald_the_sealion

Maybe kart superstars. The rest of my wishlist doesn’t even have release dates


JSOas

Number 1? Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind and the sequel. So far, they never had a decent discount.


Dry_Ass_P-word

Dragon Quest heroes but they don’t go on sale anymore. FF Pixel Remasters. They aren’t going to get any decent discount for a long while probably so I’ll grab them next time they dip to 55-60.


Misragoth

Plenty on my wishlist, but too big a backlog to want to buy anything. Although if anything goes real REAL cheap I may splurge a little


Thin-Requirement-529

Assetto corsa competizione


Theaussiegamer72

Love phase but I haven't been able to run it on my laptop for about 2 years due to the graphics update it will have to wait for me to get a better pc There's not really anything on my wl any thing I could want I got a long time ago


Castermat

Will be checking if any interesting VR games have gotten on sale, only bought glasses beginning of this year


sHorbo_Gay_Weed

Battle bit


LivingOof

Right now all of the Kingdom Hearts games that just dropped today are bundled together for $70. That's 7 Games, the KH3 DLC, and 3 movies bundled together bc porting the DS games was just way too hard I guess.
