*cries in country where Steam Deck is not available*

[–] BadlyDrawnRhino@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

What country? Here in Aus they show up regularly on eBay. I bought mine from a computer shop in Sydney, because they are registered as a proper business rather than some random on the internet. Paid slightly more for it, but I wanted to be covered by the standard 12 month warranty that all businesses must offer over here. Otherwise if anything goes wrong I'd be dealing directly with Valve.

My wife and I don't need steam decks, my wife and I don't need steam decks...

Edited to add: bought two >_>

[–] nightauthor@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Do you want one? Will you use it? Could that money bring you more happiness in the long run used in some other way?

These are the kinds of questions I ask myself before spending >$50, usually prevents me from regret.

You could Remote Play Together in bed. 😳

High on Life seems like a good, fun piece, now for 50% off. Considering it is still fairly recent (December 2022 release) and well rated, not a bad deal at all in my eyes.

Anyway, I am going for Hogwarts Legacy. I was holding back until they introduce some patch fixes, and now I can even save some sweet cash.

[–] 9284562@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Enjoy Hogwarts Legacy! I'm by no means a Harry Potter fan, but I had an absolute blast with it.

I think High On Life is on Gamepass, so you could probably check it out there for a month, for less than 50% off.

[–] -spam-@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely loved High on Life. Started it not expecting much but it was on game pass so I wasn't going to lose anything. Ended up barely being able to put it down.

You need to not mind Justin Roiland and that kind of humour because it's literally the entire game.

Completely stupid fun game.

[–] Penryn_@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hogwarts Legacy was worth it alone for the beautiful reconstruction of the school; there's so much detail in it. Felt magical exploring it after having read it as a child.

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Is there no dumb game/event this year?

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Can't wait to see in a few hours maybe how my wishlist looks like

[–] Vilifier@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Steam has a Top 100 on Steam Deck list that highlights some great games: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/decktop100

It's also worth checking out http://gg.deals/ and http://www.isthereanydeal.com to make sure you're getting the best deal.

[–] majkeli@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm so far behind on my games backlog, but I'm sure I'll buy something. Steamdeck is on sale and well worth the money.

[–] Jarmer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

SAME. I still need to finish Chained Echoes but I'm tempted to go ahead and get Octopath 2. I don't NEED Octopath 2 but I want it!

[–] thingsiplay@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@Whiskeyomega Little bit disappointing, as Final Fantasy 7 Remake is still expensive to me. Don't want to pay more than 30 Euros for that game, as this is not a new release. I'm not in a hurry anyway and learned to control my inner Force. (in case you wonder what the hell I'm talking, currently playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, which I got from last event for 4 Euros or so)

[–] Unebrion@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I did a video of some games that I already own, but I think are worth checking out.

RimWorld and High on Life both have my eye. Praying for my wallet that's the only damage I do this year

[–] pancakesyrupyum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Rimworld is fantastic if that genre of game interests you.

Dwarf Fortress is also on sale if you want something a little more intense and clunky, the QOL changes for the Steam version modernize it quite a bit.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Was thinking of finally getting Stray, though I haven't checked the sale price yet. Will see what the wishlist has too!

Might see if there're any good co-op games to get, looking at add something to the collection to play with wife and friends.

[–] Yamayo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe not what you expect, but Serious Sam 4 is less than 8€.

I had lots of fun with SS3 and a friend, now we are buying this one.

[–] SoulsBrethren@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's 25% off – well worth the price tho :)

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, looks like it's the lowest ever price so far! So not bad.

[–] Whayle@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

FYI...It looks like they are doing the "explore your discovery queue and earn a card" thing, but at least for me the new PC client doesn't let you know you have a new item in your inventory.
