I just bought this book.

In terms of games I'm not sure, I usually just bought H-games but those don't seem to be being made anymore?

>>721276459
thinking of getting cyberpunk but it seems to be mostly liked by trannies and sòyabòys
>>
>>721276789
just buy used books or download them
>>
Nothing. I'm in Canada and games retail for $100. Even 50% off is $50, which to my boomer brain is the same cost as a new game. I pirate whatever I can instead.

>>721276825
It's a semi-competent game, but it's filled with DEI mostly in the form of obnoxious and ugly strong independent woman giving you orders.
>>
>>721276459
Nothing, by now through previous sales I've bought everything I'd be interested in.
>>
>>721276825
There are two big problems with cyberpunk

1) It isn't an RPG, it's extremely railroaded
2) Despite being "degenerate" as you say, it isn't nearly degenerate enough for the setting, it's a very tame cyberpunk world compared to what cyberpunk is actually supposed to be
>>
>>721276459
Never pay more than 5 bucks for a videogame.

Why wait for the steam sale.
>>
>>721276459
if someone on steam is doing this, report them. not just to steam but to the government. it's illegal to raise your price and then immediately put up a sale that makes it the old price.
>>
Probably not much because I'll be getting Digimon, Pokemon, Katamari and Yotei next month but I will check the deals to see if there's anything super good.
>>
>>721279216
I thought Valve made sure it's not possible to raise the price before sales anymore, like on an automated level?
>>
>>721276459
That's quick. Last year's autumn sale was in November, right before the winter sale.

That's the worst version of the game. Either play the remaster or the PC original.

PS1 version is the worst way to experience it.
Remaster adds cut content as well as improving UI and graphics.
Highly recommended, just pirate it if you don't want to pay.
>>
>>721279623
PS1 version was by far the worst version.
The Remaster added in cut content including lines, two(?) entire areas, bosses, fixed the PC controls, and other QoL shit.

It can be tedious because you are required to collect certain amount of Dark Souls™ to progress, it's quite easy otherwise.
If you don't like getting stuck because you missed one hidden path it can be rough.
It has some metrioidvania qualities so you will have to revisit areas multiple times with your new abilities.
I still highly recommend playing it because of the atmosphere.

Most publishers realized that people will still buy older titles without deep discounts. Only some big publishers still do -80% like EA and Ubisoft.

I might grab Stardew Valley or Psychopomp, nothing else I really need to grab after the Summer Sale.

choose a game you like
scroll down to the bottom where it recommend games similar but dont bother with that list, click show more to see a better list of games
scroll to the bottom of the main page until it starts infinite scrolling game genres pray it finds you things you might like and click "show more"

the discovery list might find you some good games here and there but for the most part it only shows the sloppiest of shovelware slop
there are also indie publishers that have thousands of titles constantly releasing, going through them helps

last option is literally browsing game dev generals here on 4chud trannit and shitter. shitter is great if you start taking interest in games it'll recommend you loads of crap and it's easy to search for more in the dev's own profile

I like nice hardcover editions, but anything considered complete for Lovecraft all look like overly ornate bookstore gift fodder. I ended up with that little Arcturus boxset because it was like $20 at HPB and it's complete, as far as I'm aware.

I bought Look Outside since it's on sale now and I don't usually play games so soon after they're released. It's nice to drop less than $10 on a newer release.

Speaking of goypass: apparently I've had $12 sitting in my M$ account for God knows how many years so I guess I gotta spend that on something too.

Nier Replicant will never go that low, you're fine. This is the publisher that still sells FFII for $12 and is usually asking $20-30 for Forespoken, anon.

Hell if they knew what they were doing Nier R/A would be in the $20-30 range and Forespoken would be $4.99 but if they knew wtf they were doing they wouldn't be Square.

You need to stop playing RPGs now before you burn yourself out (if you haven't already) and throw in some indie slop or just something different into the mix. There is absolutely no way you can keep up with that many story heavy games at once, take it one at a time and mix it up.

I'll be able to finish Expedition 33 I think, because I really like it and I haven't played it before but yeah, it's kind of hard to go back to Witcher and Mass Effect right now when I know what's going to happen next.

Nta but is Royal worth it if I already own OG P5? I already played it on PS3 and PS4 and not sure I can do it again unless the Royal content is certified elite.

Third party key sites make me nervous and I don't watch humble bundles, so I wasn't aware of that.
P5X is the only PC game I have besides tons of old ones that I have hard copies of circa late 90s early 00s.

No. Royal is just one more semester at the end for some story and some tweaks and balance changes through the main story.
