Summer Sale
Nothing specific yet but as always I'll attempt to buy all the (good) JRPGs.
And other RPGs. And some quality indies. And DLC for my favorites.

Just company of heroes 3 if there is a great deal.
I've read that it's not as good as the previous ones and my PC is a potato, but i'm curious.
So many potatoes in your poll ! Yum !! :d
I know none of the games from your list, so just wish you to get great deals on these ones !
Comment has been collapsed.
this is my cart, should have a little more than enough steam wallet funds to pick it all up
on the VN bundle I already own Adabana so its just an additional discount for Atri, I want to play the VN before the anime airs next season.
don't really plan on getting much else... I really have to slow down my spending everywhere to pay medical bills
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh your cart is already ready ! You're in advance !
Or the sales start sooner that i think.
edit : Oh in 3 days already...
Comment has been collapsed.
helps with ignoring other deals if your cart is ready.
just glance at my steam wishlist... its going to be tempting to add so many of these VN's to the cart once the discounts are there.

Nice. I always chew on whether I'd like to get back into Vampire Survivors.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm gonna wait and see what gets discounted before poking around, but I know for sure I'm picking up the new DREDGE DLC the second I can get my hands on it's release. I'll take another excuse to replay DREDGE any day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dredge was a very cool game no doubt. I enjoyed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ended up getting:
Dave The Diver
BUSTAFELLOWS
Atri - My Dear Moments-
Assassins Creed Valhalla Complete Edition
I really didn't want to support Ubisoft but I loved Odyssey and Origins and since I put off buying it for 4 years I figured it's probably fine. I do wish they would add steam achievements so it won't look weird in my showcase, however.
Comment has been collapsed.
Funny thing about Valhalla. The ending kind of blew my mind with some of the possibilities it offered, and I knew at that point exactly who the next game's protagonist was going to be, which ended up being correct. I loved Valhalla, but I didn't enjoy the Asgard sections so much. And the other aspect of the ending was something I've been curious if Ubisoft would exploit because it did also open the door wide open for a live services model lol. Also, Valhalla really leaned into Ubi's version of the Nemesis system. I've always wondered how they got away with that given as how it's a patented system and they aren't the patent holders.

My disappointment is already measurable... So no not actually expecting anything.
Comment has been collapsed.
... and my day is ruined. Ooh but it didn't even start ! XD
Your wishlist is so long, you'll probably get some good deals !
But your comment reminds me the fabulous time of steam flash deals.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great thread! Let me make a list real quick.
METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE
Stardew Valley
Forza Horizon 4 (I think I will end up getting all the DLC as well)
Balatro
Chop Goblins
Squirrel Stapler
Another Crab's Treasure
Hypnagogia
Peglin
FAITH: The Unholy Trinity
Abiotic Factor
Trombone Champ
Payday 3
The Upturned
I'm mostly looking forward to these titles but I think I am realistically going to only get the following games
METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE
Forza Horizon 4
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait - you don't have Stardew yet?!?! Pick it up!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, I didn't have enough funds to buy it when it was half off so and I wasn't able to get it before either so it has been sitting in my wishlist for a while now. Maybe this Summer Sale!
Comment has been collapsed.
yes.. its the first game ever that ive refunded a hour after its release and the playtest before the launch was aboslutely terrible. i regretted prepurchasing it butatleast the time i played in the playtests wasnt counted so i didnt waste nearly 100 euro lol and i do still play payday 2
Comment has been collapsed.
It is awful, but if it is cheap enough I might just get it so I can play it in the future if it gets good. I loved Payday 2 but Payday 3 dropped the ball pretty hard.
Comment has been collapsed.
TL;DR: sorry I wrote too long again. Yes, most PD2 fans hate PD3, but it's not that bad for most people.
If Ubisoft and EA can make bank and get positive reviews, surely there are tons of people out there who will love PD3.
Edit: Dang. I took so much time to write that 2 replies got there by the time I sent the message. 😭
Yeah, even devs themselves prefer the previous one (their CM himself plays/streams PD2 much more than PD3 when not promoting PD3 updates or something).
It's not that bad if you don't know the franchise and are just looking for an FPS heist game that has both sneaky stealth and guns blazing horde shooter gameplay in the same game (and sometimes in the same mission), but when a new entry in a series has "graphics improvement because we went from proprietary engine to UE5" as the main big improvement... Kind of hard to counter the various downgrades they have (first of all always online even for solo gameplay which was not a case in PD2, needing to matchmake even to play solo which was not a case in PD2, broken XP grind to improve weapons (and broken XP system overall compared to PD2), and many others that you can find easily with Google/Reddit).
There are a couple improvements for sure, there are new stealth mechanics that are interesting... But, eh. There's a reason why it started Overwhemingly Negative and is to this day still Mostly Negative (I just checked).
Also a bunch of "mishaps", like selling 3 skins (pair of gloves + mask + suit) for $4 just 3 months after release even though that was the pre-order reward, and announcing some "huge QOL updates" that were just things that should have been there on release and we know the devs were fully capable of doing them since those features were already there in PD2, sometimes even PD1 (aka PD:TH/Payday: The Heist).
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks!
Another Crab's Treasure is on ny secondary list..Chop Goblins was good quick fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
I like David Szymanski's work so I would be more than happy to try Chop Goblins as well. I do want Another Crab's Treasure but the 30€ price tag is quite hefty and it would be my first soulslike so I'll hope for a deep discount, I doubt it will be cheap enough this Summer Sale but maybe someday.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dave does quality work for sure. I prefer his psych horror over his boomer shooters, but he does kind of have the Meidas Touch with developing games.
I've played a lot of Soulsborne games. This one does seem like an ideal entry into the genre, and I know it also has a cheat mode baked in where your crab is given a gun that can one shot almost anything if you choose to enable it lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
A what now? A gun? Sign me up...
I personally enjoy both his psychological horror games as well as his boomer shooters. Dusk was absolutely phenomenal, so was Iron Lung. I'm also looking forward to Butcher's Creek and I might buy it when it comes out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Another Crab's Treasure is on gamepass so that could be a cheaper route if you're likely to play but not replay. Unfortunately I bounced off it it

Most likely "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" unless it doesn't go on sale. Have tried trading for it for weeks. But people are sitting on it despite offering games from their wanted list.
So, I will just get it four 4 € in sale. After that, don't know. Will try to keep my unplayed games below 10. Have to finish some other games for that first. If I find time between Vermintide and Wizordum.
Comment has been collapsed.
Very nice!
Nothing wrong with tackling the backlog.
Comment has been collapsed.
Really fun game!!! (I don't have it either, but played it with a friend who has it.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea, I want to play with my girlfriend as a communication excercise :P She doesn't know of her luck yet.
And if that works I consider doing the same at work, though not during the main working hours ^^'
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh boy. Good luck, hope she is still your girlfriend after playing. 😆
May I recommend We Were Here, an asymmetrical co-op game, sort of "escape room" type, and free! Quite short, should only take an hour or two, depending on your communication skills.
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't decided what I'm going to get yet, I like to just wait for the sale, check my wishlist and if anything is on a good sale and I feel like playing it then I'll grab it.
But these are some of the games I'm more interested in grabbing on the summer sale:
-Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
-Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
-Peglin
-Zooplop
-Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist
-FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO: Maiden of Black Water
-Roguebook - Fugoro, Mercant of Wonders DLC
-The Last Door - Collector's Edition
-The Bunny Graveyard
-God of Weapons
-Enter the Gungeon
-INDIKA
-Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Season Pass 1 and 2 DLCs
Comment has been collapsed.
I liked GotG quite a bit. It was definitely fun.
Enter the Gungeon is likewise a ton of fun.
I'm looking forward to trying INDIKA. Looks really interesting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Peglin is cool! Kind of like a pegging Slay The Spire. But I doubt I want the game for its retail price. Maybe like 5€-7€ would be fair for it. But again, I doubt the game would be cheap enough this Summer Sale, we'll just have to see I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
Biggest one maybe is the Hooded Horse bundle. 10 games, 48% bulk discount, but only one is on sale, so if they all go on sale, the price might not be quite so nuts. I'd like to see it well under $100, but I'm pretty sure I am out of my mind.
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/27508/Hooded_Horse_Publisher/
Other than that a few VR games that just never go on sale (Blade & sorcery / beat saber)
I am trying to discipline myself to buy only 80% discount stuff I want, but that doesnt always happen...
Comment has been collapsed.
I hear that. You just gotta buy stuff when it feels right.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. I'd guess a lot of people are hoping for that to be discounted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol.
Chained Echoes was really cool. I liked that one a lot.
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe red dead 2 , will see if i can afford it lol
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm eyeing Days Gone, Death's Door and Hades. If any of them gets a bigger discount than usual, I might bite. And Dave the Diver. And maaaaybeee Sea of Stars, but it's such a big game, it scares me...
Comment has been collapsed.
Sea of Stars isn't as vast as you might think. It took me around 33 hours to finish it. Although the 100% would take longer.
Days Gone OTOH. Pretty sure I put like 70 hours into that one. One of my all time favorite zombie style games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, really? Days Gone is longer than Sea of Stars?? Who would have thought. Thanks for your reflections :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Days Gone was only 36ish hours for me, I did a fair amount of extra stuff but not all of it.
sounds like they are similar in length.
Comment has been collapsed.
93 hours on the clock here and not even 100%, but includes idling time. Story is starting slow at first, but if you become fond of characters and world afterwards you will and should take your time and enjoy it. I really liked it, too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm expecting a fun Summer Secret Santa (yep, that's a thing). Not sure if I'm buying anything for myself though (definitely nothing big, maybe some nice indies).
Comment has been collapsed.
I will grab Reus 2 a sequel to one of my favorite games! :3
Then Dave the Diver and maybe Capybara Spa, DLC for Steelrising and a few soundtracks... and maybe something else that will pick my interest. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I need to dive into Dave the Diver. Seems like an appropriate game for the summer.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you do get Dave the Diver, don't forget to claim the free Godzilla Pack that is only available until November!
Comment has been collapsed.
Will do, I have read about it! ;)
But thanks for the heads up! <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Woah, thank you for the heads up - I had no idea that was a limited time only thing - should have though because they would have had to license it.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome!
Free to keep for a limited time, but once you claim it you keep it in your library!
But, yeah, makes sense that it's time-limited (unfortunately). :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I'm going to get Dave the Diver on physical media for Nintendo Switch.
Comment has been collapsed.
We have so many consoles that have died, and systems that don't have stores anymore, that we try for physical media for anything that we think we'll really like. Hades, Tunic, Horizon ZD, etc. They are always more expensive though, and some games don't have very good versions on the cart, so you have to read.
Star Wars Battlefront on PS4 wouldn't even start! It just black screened, until it got the full update downloaded.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will buy all the games! I wish...
I'm thinking of picking up some shmups and having some coop remote play fun. Might pick up some of the steeper discounted, yet less likely to be bundled games in the sale, but I don't know for sure. Just going to look around for good deals and pick and choose, mostly from my wishlist.
Comment has been collapsed.
got the KINGDOM HEARTS INTEGRUM MASTERPIECE!!!!!! with all the money ive saved from selling all my steam cards off. super exited to play them all
found out KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days (HD cutscene compilation) means its ONLY the cutscenes.....wtf??? thought it was the same game but with hd cutscenes and they only remastered them
3 games that are just cutscenes and they didnt port the games.....
and refuned it. KH3 came out in 2019 and it not worth that price and the other game bundles are wacked....
My Disappointment Is Immeasurable And My Day Is Ruined
so i got my money back this sale
Comment has been collapsed.
gameplay wise 358 is the best and had 4 play co-op
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a bummer. Although it's really cool that you were able to grab it with card sales, and of course now, the sky is the limit during the Summer Sale (well, the refunded wallet amount is the limit, but that's fairly substantial for a sale). ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Too many potential, but I'm thinking of a Yakuza collection at the first place. Elden Ring and Sekiro are also in my head, but with my "investmwnt" in soulslikes they are questionable.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't really enjoy Sekiro personally. It's too reliant on parrying and perfect timing, which I am not good at, lol.
Elden Ring OTOH. 160 hours, and the 100% (on PSN). But, if you don't think you would stick with it, it's probably one to skip.
The Yakuza collection will almost certainly see a deep discount.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yakuza 0 is the perfect entry point to the series. I got a little burned out by 4 playing them one after the other, but I don't regret it at all!
Comment has been collapsed.
I got exactly the same issue, mosyly because 4 and 5 are a bit outdated and do not have the same QOL features than the remastered/more recent ones.
It gets better with the 6, and like a dragon is a breath of fresh air!
Comment has been collapsed.
Little game called Baldur's Gate 3. I guess part of the wish is that it goes for more than 5% off. 😬
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably 15% off.
It's an amazing game. One of the few games in existence worth the full $60 price tag, realistically.
Comment has been collapsed.
Possibly Sekiro, Horizon Forbidden West, RimWorld, Timberborn, Age of Empires IV, Dwarf Fortress, Wartales, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE, COCOON, KINGDOM HEARTS trilogy, Sea of Stars, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, or Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy. I don't intend to get more than one, but I'm looking at one of these games for some time and I'll get them. RimWorld is the only game I barely see no less than 20%...
Comment has been collapsed.
Dwarf Fortress is actually on my list as well. Forgot to add it.
Cocoon, Banishers and Wartales are on my secondary list.
Forbidden West is such a great game. I definitely loved it. Sea of Stars is also excellent.

The games are just kinda my main priority as what I'm looking to possibly play next and not shove it in my backlog.
Forbidden West is such a great game. I definitely loved it. Sea of Stars is also excellent.
Played the first on PS4. Really liked it. 😁 I got it on PC, but didn't replay it yet. Currently replaying and re-compleating Ghost of Tsushima.

Hoping for a decent discount on Last Epoch, Balatro and Peglin. Maybe Tales of Glory if it hits the low again.
Comment has been collapsed.
I forgot about Last Epoch, but I'm definitely interested in that one.
Balatro is addictive AF. Say goodbye to your friends and family before playing. Let them know you'll see them again in a month or two. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I had one in particular, but Bandai decided to start their "summer sale" before Steam's. As such now Im in the predicament of either buying the game now and potentially miss the release window of a new visual novel I been looking forward to since last year. Or buy Bandai's game next sale and end up not getting anything for this sale if the visual novel dont release for Summer as advertised originally...
Bandai really making the smart choices....
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm waiting for discounts on Elden Ring and Persona 3 Reload. Have been saving all year.
Comment has been collapsed.
Those two games could get a person through many months.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe, MAYBE ESO Gold Road complete IF it goes on a good sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
IDK if I'll ever really get back into ESO, but it's a game I've easily put 300-400 hours into. Time well spent!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm thinking about Noita and Crash Bandicoot 4. Other games from my wishlist will probably hold their price for a while, so I'll just wait :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Personally, I'm looking at:
Kona 2
Havendock
Glitchhikers
Thymesia
Killer Frequency
Dwarf Fortress
