Ah yes, complaining about 2016 games not going on deep discount during 2016 holiday sales. I can't wait either!

I didn't complain? And have never complained.

Almost sure you said that a few months ago

I did, and it didn't work out this year. All I'm saying was a little comment, that I won't buy any more games next year, and of course it's a goal I intend on keeping. And yes it can fail again next year, but at least, I'll try harder next year, and that makes me happy.

And then I bow down when Rise of the Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy IX comes around, lol. Hopefully I can withstand it, as I will be going through the Final Fantasy series anyway.

I put together a video on the Steam ARG going on if anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/EzFNCgfWCM4

Thanks for that was an interesting follow

Aw man i had such high hopes for the title.....

 

[Sober]

I didn't complain? And have never complained.

Sorry, didn't mean you specifically. More of a general thing to expect next year. Or I suppose, every year moving forward.

I'm aware. It's likely, but far from definitive.

FFXV and FFXII were far more likely than FFIX until this day. So FFX and X-2 are a given at this point.

STEAM | January 2016 - We're Treating This One Like A Perma


I caved on Darkest Dungeon. Have been wanting to check it out for a little while. I could do a write-up for it, but I think that would be best reserved for someone who has played it through its development to provide input on what's changed, why it's better or worse now, that kind of thing.

The art style is great.

And now I'm considering getting ARK just for my brother so I can family share it with him. You know, 'cause that +1. I personally don't have the patience or time for survival games, even ones that look interesting, have dinos and doesn't afraid of anything.

Speaking of family sharing, what do I need to know beyond the basic FAQ that Valve put together? If my brother, who is in the military, gets stationed somewhere abroad, does this impact family sharing in anyway?

I'm no PC gamer, only played a F2P game every now and then, but this winter sale actually does a good job of kinda pulling me to the PC side lol. I'll still play mainly on consoles, but i will definitely play on PC a lot more now. I only bought the Lethal League 4Pack, but i'm already making a list of games that i'll buy during this sale lol.

 

[Millsington]

Are Scholar and standard DS2 separate installs or it will upgrade standard to Scholar?

 

[Hektor]

Are Scholar and standard DS2 separate installs or it will upgrade standard to Scholar?

Seperate

They are seperate games.

 

[Black Soma]

Thinking of getting either

Shovel Knight
Kero Blaster
Grandia II

Already played Grandia II on PS2, and while I'm not exactly the biggest Grandia fan I think I wouldn't mind replaying it, especially since they've apparently added a Hard mode.

Kero Blaster. It's from Pixel, who made Cave Story. It has a frog with a gun. That's right. A FROG WITH A GUN.

... wanted to keep my purchasing this year under $100. Pretty happy with this pick-up. I probably won't play the other Dead Islands for a long while, but for 80% off, I doubt they'll ever be cheaper. Seems like a good time to jump in.

Thoughts? Any I should absolutely avoid?

Man, I'm conflicted on whether or not I want to get a Steam controller or some games I want, I kind of think I should wait on the Steam controller until some of the bugs have been worked out but I don't know. Thinking about SOMA and maybe Rebel Galaxy?
