I might actually fork out for Dominions 6 and HoI4 with DLC if I'm in the mood. Don't really feel the need to get new stuff because most of the games I already got have a very long replayability or take long to finish the first time already. I pirate a few games to try them out and most of the time I don't want to get them after demoing them anyway.

I wanted warno, gariviteam, aoe2 dlc and aoe4, but only have 20 dollars so i will just get one of them, what do you recommend from that list?
>>
>>1789004
the only way you could get even more completely different games on that list is if you threw in a modernized SupCom-like like Zero-K, but that's free.

Do you want a historical milsim and don't care about MP? Graviteam.
Do you want modern designed tactical RTS in a modern-ish setting? Warno.
Do you want classic RTS set in the past? AoE
>>

Is there really any chance Warno already goes for 20?
It's the only one I want strategy wise as well. Other than that it's Snowrunner.

Same.

I have it and I regret buying it. Combat and Turret def never evolved beyond the basic shit (note, that feature development got cut short right after the guy started to rake in money, fucking kike).
>inb4 it's le hard engineering/logistic game
And to retards like that I kindly ask to neck themselves. It's literally combing two or more objects to create next one and passing it further. There's nothing hard or complicated about this fucking game.
>>
>>1789117
anomaly should be very low priority. it's nice a few times but it doesn't integrate into general runs as well as the other dlcs. if you interact with anomaly stuff then you're pretty much doing an anomaly run.
>>
>>1789438
>integrate into general runs as well
I partially disagree.
There's nothing stopping you for playing the game as before after completing anomaly if you wish to do so, the challenge lies in the speed one can breeze through the anomaly stuff unlocking what he needs.
With confidence:
Biotech > Anomaly > Royalty > Ideology
Pet peeve of mine, I wish there was anomaly specific gene-set/race. I mean, after facing all the anomaly critters there's not an ounce of new knowledge that could be integrated into colonist genome? C'mon, that's just lazy.

I'm looking at Imperator:Rome at 12 USD
...Gameplay DLC adds an additional 11 USD for 23 USD total

I'm a huge Romaboo, and the devs made a surprise quality-of-life patch a few months ago
Worth at 23 bucks?


Also looking at Ixion at 18 USD
Mostly Positive reviews, but a fuckton of people that reviewed a relatively low-visibility game. But also basically completely left alone, devs done with it, and no endless/indefinitely long mode. Replayability zero, but i really liked what i saw of the demo two years ago.
Worth?
>>
>>1790583
Oh, also Shadow Empire at 20 USD
I'm not averse to this degree of abstraction and rough graphics and mega autistic, multi-tiered levels of control. But i still feel like i ought to pirate first to see if it's something that will really grip me..
>>
>>1790583
>Also looking at Ixion at 18 USD
It's a shitty puzzle game.

>>1790591

Anno 1800 is around 12 bucks, is it worth it? I love city builders and I'm an avid Tropico player.

>>1790599
Dunno, but keep in mind that it requires you to log into Uplay or whatever it's now called. At least for me it's a thing that always put me away from getting this game.

What post-Shogun 2 non-Warhammer Total War games are worth getting? I'm thinking about Attila with the Charlemagne expansion. Troy and Pharaoh also seem interesting, but their discounts aren't that attractive.

>>1790116
Fucking amazing game. Have over 100 hours of it myself, even tried the tournament scene for a little bit(quit because their format means you need to stay in the kiddy pool an extremely long time and I got bored).
>>
>>1790598
It's worse than Frostpunk, building space limitations are the core game mechanic.
Endless remodeling and ressource grinding on limited space, gets annoying pretty fast.
>>
What are some good non paradox GSGs?
>>
>>1790620
I do remember the remodeling thing in the demo, yeah..
I thought it was fine because you get full resources back iirc, but you still have to have workers deconstruct then reconstruct everything..
>>
>>1790610
Three Kingdoms is on sale for 20 bucks
I'm not sure about it myself but at that price point it could be worth
>>
>>1790583
Imperator is either a love it or hate it game. You either love it for the internal systems, or hate it for the typical paradox flaws.
>>
>>1790661
Imperator 1.0 was the GOAT. Literally my only wish for that version was more diplomatic options, like supporting a pretender in a neighbouring nation.
It’s the haphazard attempts at fixing what wasn’t broken that killed the game entirely and made it into a boring POP and mission tree slop.
>>
>>1788623
Thinking of getting Troubleshooter and One Step from Eden (I liked Slay the Spire). Actually, has anyone played Chrono Ark here? The game looks good, but I don't know about the gameplay. Roguelike deck-builders are /vst/-core, right?

Jurassic World 2, I actually really enjoyed the first one and it's ~€5 so why not. Maybe some old TW:wh DLC that I never bought. Also not /vst/ related in the slightest but has anyone played The Isle? It looks pretty cool but how persistent is the world? Will my dinosaur starve to death if I don't log in for a couple of days?

>>1790256
I would have pounced on this if it had been 50% but that just isn't good enough

>>1790610
Attila for sure, I also enjoyed Thrones of Brittania Troy is trash imo but I haven't played it since it was free on Epic. I am considering getting either 3K or Pharaoh myself, I reckon that 3K is the mechanically better game but Pharaoh appeals more to me as a setting

Troubleshooter is great once you get through its slow start. The game is very, very long and its complexity literally increases exponentially as it progresses. It also doesn't really have any bullshit achievements so it's realistic to 100% despite the quantity of them.

Old World is great if you're at all into 4X, just give it a pirate first and try it out to make sure you aren't put off by any of its mechanics because it does a lot of unique stuff other 4Xs don't.
>new version of DF
Ehh if you bounced off of classic then I don't think it will appeal that much more. Even if you were someone just completely put off by ascii and didn't use tilesets, it's still basically the same game and shows its age compared to Rimworld in terms of tight gameplay. You basically need roleplay autism and get yourself invested in the world

Need it or sneed it? Curious if anyone has tried Reus 2 in particular, haven't seen much discussion of it. I liked the idea of the first one but the tight puzzle gameplay felt a bit restrictive. And I saw they took combat/warfare out of 2 which concerns me.

I think I get it. I often see games get like a 20% after just two months. It's like the game was never worth that much in the first place, and that the devs were playing chicken with impulsive buyers. Will they wait, or will FOMO be stronger?
Then the game might get even bigger discounts over time, or even free giveaways, but the base price doesn't drop. What a tease.
>>
>>1790583
>Ixion
I don't know what this guy smokes:
>>1790620
But at the very least, it completely mogs frostpunk as a city builder.
The studio had some problems during development, so the quality of the game does drop a bit after 1/3rd point, but Ixion is still an amazing game.
It had some bad rep at the release with how buggy it was, but it received a fair amount of patching.
>>
>>1790625
Oriental Empires is fun and has a nice aesthetic. I can't think of any other games that deal specifically with very early (pre-Qin) Chinese history, let alone in a grounded (if gamey) prevention.

Magnum opus of the Vogel.
Same say it was a fluke and that he's a hack. Both remakes made a strong case in support of it.
1st and 2nd are the peak.
The other 3 are alright but you might get burned out if you binge it.
In my personal opinion - very solid games. Great setting, great writing, serviceable combat. Has reactivity and multiple approaches are available to solve things.
What's honestly impressive, is that he's a solo dev and churned these out at a rate of one game per year at a decent quality.
>>
Has anyone here played deus ex?
I was thinking of getting the bundle with all the games, are they any good?
>>
>>1791667
I've played the first one. It's great if you can get into it but the first level is infamous for filtering people who didn't play or understand the tutorial. It's not a game where you can just run in guns blazing and expect to survive, at least not until your character is high level and you as a player know what you're doing.
The story and atmosphere are both peak, and the world has a lot of reactivity for such an old game though.

You're almost better off starting with mankind divided if you're a "modern gamer" and then going back to DE. The original is pretty rough to get into but is very playable and has a lot of community patches and upgrades.

Well, it would've helped if you posted cart screenshot or at least price per game, but whatever, I can add my 2 cents on Xenonauts. There's roaming sentiment that it's "soulless X-Com clone", but personally I found it great. It adds plenty of QoL stuff, better air combat (though it takes time to get it) and some neat stuff for ground combat (Riot Shields, functioning suppressive fire, etc.). If you enjoyed OG X-Com, keep it. If you think that OG X-Com or one of its megamods is/are the best game ever made, skip it.
>>
>>1792326
Is it worth getting Xenonauts 2 if I played 1? I heard middling things about how much of an improvement it is.
>>
>>1792329
If you played Xenonauts 1 6+ years ago then yes
If you finished Xenonauts 1 within last 2 years then probably no

No idea, but from what I've read, this Anon >>1792331 is on the money. They PLANNED to make use of the Cold War settings, having the player fight against the aliens and the X-Com equivalent on the other side of the iron curtain, but scrapped it and pretty much just remade Xenonauts. A bit of a bummer.
>>
>>1792404
Yeah that is what has made me apprehensive to buy it in the past, turns out its not even very discounted so I'm going to hold off.
>>
>>1792326
The air combat in Xenonauts is almost as shallow as in OG X-Com. Xenonauts also removed a few things from the original.
Also, Xenonauts is rather repetitive. You just do the same thing for each tech level

I disagree. Air combat in OG X-Com is barely a step above having it auto-resolve. Meanwhile, in Xenonauts, you can send multiple planes against UFOs, which leads to strategies like having one plane run as distraction while the others unload or sending fighters who outrange the UFOs to unload their missiles and then get back to base while you send fresh ones. It's not super complex, but gives enough wiggle room to come up with some strategies.

just buy the base game, buy dlc if you like it later.

Never happens. Just buy the fucking game anon, it's worth it.
>>
>>1792808
I'm sorry Anon, shilling doesn't work on me. I exclusively use my wishlist for "only pay for this if it goes below €20" stuff. If it never gets a discount, I'm never buying it. Simple as.
>>
>>1792808
Actually just pirate it. They keep raising the price and with the (((paid))) expansion coming out I'm sure they'll raise the base game price even more.

Other than cutoff point being 10 instead 20, I have the same approach.
Based and God bless.

>>1791798
it's early access so I wouldn't recommend buying, but Synergy has a great Moebius art style

It is a city builder for people who like the idea of city builders more than actually playing city builders.
>>
>>1793355
I struggle to really call it a city builder.
It's closer to a supply chain management game like anno except that anno also emphasizes aesthetic city building. Don't get me wrong I like it, the city building elements are just not all that there especially since you're on a time limit.

>XCOM 2
>Phoenix Point
>Jagged Alliance 3
They seem similar in gameplay, which one should I buy?
>>
>>1793464
The First NuCOM, not 2nd one, then Mechanicus.
>>
>>1791798
Endless Legend (fantasy 4x) and Endless Space 2 (space 4x) I think have nice aesthetic and interesting unique universe. At least check out faction cinematic introductions from ES2 because they're really great. Here's some of them:

Disciples II is also a turn-based dark fantasy game that's known for its atmospheric art style. It's like a combination of Homm with jrpg like combat. Check out this thread for more info >>1746910 As well you might want to use GL Wrapper to make it run on modern system or just for better resolution https://heroes3wog.net/disciples-12-hd-mod-gl-wrapper/
>>
>>1793464
Phoenix Point is not good, sadly, but I also don't like nuCOM.
>>
>>1792701
Even in the huge community mod (which is mostly bloat) that hypes up "increased difficulty air combat" it is a joke. The AI is dumb as all hell and it isn't difficult once you figure out the correct loadout that takes care of everything up to and including end game dreadnoughts.

More clicking does not equal more depth.
>>
>>1792096
Does Distant Worlds 2 have the mods of Distant Worlds: Universe? I still play DW:U, but never picked up 2.
>>
What do we think about Interstellar Space: Genesis? Is it and the DLC worth $13?

Check out Showgunners. You probably won't play it through more than once, but it is great.
>>
>>1792641
Yes
>>
>>1794052
Mechanicus. It doesn't have RNG wankery and is something of a tactical puzzle game, where at the end when you are powered up and equipped you can clean almost the whole map in one turn if you aren't a shitter.

Three Kingdoms is the only one that's fun
the tactical battles get stale pretty fast, but the strategy layer is the best in the series
>>
>>1791973
I had the same question so I tried it, it's got some QoL improvements but the AI breaks on some maps

How so? Like the map is one big slop of landmass.

Not true. The map has chokepoints, mountains, rivers, etc. It has jungles in the south and desert in the north. It's perfectly varied.

Game is fun as fuck. While the guy has the sniffles a lot, old internet LPer Kikoskia did a let's play which might be worth a watch just to understand how to get started. I can see how people might bounce off it though.
>>
>>1795815
King of Dragon Pass is a classic for a good reason. It's really not that complicated at all, you just need to pay attention to shit and read because things change.
>>
>>1794071
i always avoid games that use the phrase "hand-crafted" as a selling point AND doesn't include a level editor. seriously, why do these devs still exist?

I'm finally giving up on Stellaris and need new 4xs to play. I need some recommendations, fantasy 4xs okay as well.

Also, is Star Ruler 1 or 2 the good one, I can never remember.

i stopped buying games a couple years ago, i use the money i spent on games to fuck hookers instead.. to be honest, it's a way better way to spend your money, you can download games for free, you can't download pussy
