Kenshi is back on sale for 12$. It’s a special kind of special, but someone out there might connect with it. Lots of yt videos to get a feel for gameplay.
Can anyone recommend a good multiplayer shooter with a high player population? (Either 2D or VR is fine.) Or any non-MMO, non-role-playing PvP game that is mostly online and has populated servers? Something my 37-year-old ass can just jump into and play a quick match without having to dedicate my life to it?
Getting sick of all the PUBGs, Counter-Strikes, Call of Duties, and Overwatches/Marvel Rivalses. My best gaming memories were during the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 days. I never had more fun in a shooter than when I was playing Rush. But unfortunately EA never managed to recapture that same magic in the sequels. After the 2042 flop I quit Battlefield for good.
BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.
i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.
Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.
e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c
God damnit; you had me sold up until the very end. :(
this is the worst way to find out my favorite game had a scummy dev the whole time lmao
there’s reviews from February that say you can still find populated servers, but that might be region dependant and you almost certainly won’t have a choice for gamemode.
guess we’re both just waiting for the next next good battlefield game 🙃
dont buy videogames work in a mine and make money poors
I’m making myself finish Fell Seal before I start it, but I picked up Triangle Strategy at what gg.deals says is the record low price. As an FFT fanboy, it looks great (and so is Fell Seal for that matter).
Ooh thank you for mentioning Triangle Strategy. It’s been on my mind because it seems it’ll scratch that FFT itch but I didn’t have it in my wishlist.
Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce
I’m enjoying Railway Empire. It’s on for 75% off the base game and pretty good deal for the entire DLC & Japan collections.
If you love time-wasters with some challenges, then I’d recommend it.
Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.
Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.
Anno 1800 is 5 bucks. I love it, but you need to deal with Uplay as well
More capitalism, huh? I hope steam is paying you for that free advertising.
Critiquing capitalism while participating in it and name dropping a brand huh? 🤔
Too true. I’m getting my games from the communist on the corner from now on.
Lmao
Lol

Here is a link to Steam DB showing popular games more than 50% off:
https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_discount=50&min_rating=70&min_reviews=500I just bought Suicide Squad (I know, I know, but it was on sale and I want to experience it at least a little); Pine; and Sniper Elite 2R, 3 and 4.
I’m very excited to get into the Sniper Elite games. I played 5 back when I had Game Pass, but never finished. I figured the others might be just as good.
Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.
Idk why you got downvoted. Borderlands 3 for $6 is a pretty good deal. And $16 for the complete edition isn’t bad either. I already own the full collection on steam so I can’t see the price of that, but when I bought it during the last sale I wanna say I spent like maybe $50 on the entire Borderlands series.
There really is a “Lemmy hive mind” starting to form, just like reddit.
Because Borderlands is boring and repetitive, especially if you don’t have a friend group to play with.
I don’t think there were downvotes, just me myself removing 1 upvote (as I am a shy person). I bought it at full price myself, and have no regrets.
I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.
my reccomendation? whatever’s on gog
in all seriousness, you can’t go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.
gog?
Good Old Games.
