I'd gladly buy them... but not for 20 bucks each for the amount of content they seem to offer. From what I remember from reading r/battletechgame, that's a common objection -- frequently mentioned in the Steam reviews too. Apparently, outside of the new biomes, a lot of the things included in the DLCs had been done by mods before. Personally, for $20 I'd expect something like air support and infantry, a new campaign, and a handful of new mechs. It's not even worth my time to reinstall the game for what they offer currently.

LadyCrimson Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Haven't bought it yet but noticed Dragon's Quest Builders 2 is available for pre-order in my ps4 store, now. Not sure if I want the more expensive version with the extras...do I care about more recipes or whatnot. Definitely don't care about season pass aspect. Hm. Edit hours later: that's DQ Builders 2, not just plain ol' DQ2. Oops. Edited June 30, 2019 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

kirottu Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Neverwinter Nights EE is currently 3.19€ at Steam summer sale so I bought it. 1 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Keyrock Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I fell victim to the dreaded Steam Summer Sale impulse buy and scooped up Doggo Dragons: Dark Arisen, despite the fact that my backlog is overflowing and I probably won't play it for 18 years.

Chilloutman Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 its that time of year again 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

I haven't tried the Battletech game currently on a sale on Steam, but it's kind of sad that the best version of it that I've played so far is an old Amiga shareware game (Called 'Mechforce iirc', runs fine on WinUAE). Complete with clan mechs, drop pods, destructible terrain (set the forest on fire and watch the fire spread depending on wind direction, mechs that suffers reactor explosions creates depressions in the ground etc.) and a computer AI that plays a very competent game.

Especially if it's heavily discounted. It's just that... they seem to have completely run out of steam after finishing the base game. Maybe after the Shadowrun games, the bar was too high set. If they had managed to keep releasing content with a value comparable to that of the base game, it would have been glorious. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm still butthurt about this. 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Consider myself recommended and warned No idea where it came from, but Steam asked me if I wanted to apply a voucher at checkout, reducing the cost from $20 to $12 AUD. That's about $8.5 USD. That's what I spend on two Cappucino's across the street, so, not really any risk involved in that purchase. Bought the base game.

kanisatha Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Used the recent Steam sale to pick up two non-RPG games that have been on my wishlist for a while: Surviving Mars, and The Operational Art of War 4.

bugarup Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Bought "Kenshi". The concept looks so very interesting, but 'fraid that this game will go into my "Play when retired" collection along with Crusader Kings, Rimworld, Stellaris and such because I simply do not yet have uninterrupted years required to learn playing those games.

Blarghagh Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Bought a load of Planet Coaster DLC during the Steam sale. Not really a great game, but an excellent creativity toy.

daven Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 20 hours ago, the_dog_days said: Much like BioWare, they started to chase the shinny. Well.. yeah. I guess it was when they joined with Enix. They used to make a lot of interesting games back then. Of course Final Fantasy was the flagship but they did other stuff like Vagrant Story, SaGa Frontier 2, Front Mission, Parasite Eve, Chrono Trigger etc. Now it seems like it's only Final Fantasy (Which have been terrible since X) and... ??????? 1 nowt
Mamoulian War Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Yup, it was merger with Enix. But for some reason I have enjoyed also XII and XIII-2. I have not even started the XV, because how much they "westernified" the game.

daven Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I watched my brother play FF15 for a bit, they had Gucci or something clothes in it????? And they make this massive beautiful world... which you have no reason to look at most of the time. The combat is all wishy washy, why couldn't they have just tried to improve on FFX? That combat was really tight, just build on that. BAH! Sorry this is turning into a Final Fantasy rant. nowt
Ophiuchus Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I liked Final Fantasy XV better when it was called Final Fantasy VIII, er, maybe. FFIX's Moguri Mod is a great reason to pick it up on Steam. Slash and Burn: A Warlock Guide
