PSA: Game Discounts

[Caliga]

I went ahead and bought all of the Pathfinder expansions sine they are all on sale too, and I'm thinking other than that I'm done with the summer sale.

I was tempted to pick up Three Kingdoms but the discount is only 10% and I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to games.

Cal (or others):  Pillars of Eternity or Pathfinder: Kingmaker?  Also, I'm contemplating getting Scythe.

[Caliga]

Pathfinder is still really fun.  I'm now getting into the kingdom management aspect of the game, which is weird getting used to but pretty interesting.  It reminds me of the old D&D rules for ruling territories.

I never beat the original PoE but liked it, for the most part.  I did beat PoE 2 and loved it, and eventually will replay it with all the expansions.

Never heard of Scythe till you mentioned it, but I just checked it out on Steam and it looks interesting.

I loved PoE but gotta say towards the end I was beginning to get tired with all the combat. Too many same-y fights every few steps. I wish they cut out some of those and focused on creating a few interesting encounters. The oldskool combat engine wasn't that thrilling, to begin with.

Pathfinder I played last december and it was a buggy mess. Glad that it seems to be mostly fixed now, I'll definitely go back to it once I finish my current Divinity Original Sin 2 playthrough.

I haven't played the Scythe port to PC game, but have played the board game a fair amount.  It seems to generate either tremendous love or tremendous hate.  I guess it's supposed to be a mix of "Ameritrash" style joined with "Eurogame" mechanics.  The mechanics are often abstract and may not always make in-game sense, but I enjoy it and find it a really good game.

I'm only ~3 hours into it, but I really like Pillars 2. The quality of art, interface, combat mechanisms, sound, etc. are all better than the first iteration, likely because they got a larger budget.

If you have a Wal-Mart near you, check the electronics section. I initially bought POE 2 from the Steam sale expecting to play it immediately after beating the first one. But Wal-Mart had a physical copy with a Steam key for $9.96 or something, so...

Haven't encountered a single bug or had a crash yet.

There's a fantastic bundle of CK2 expansions at humblebundle, for the two guys here who don't already own all the major DLCs.

Go buy it, and don't forget to put your duplicate keys in the game gift thread!

Makes me really regret having bought them all. Wasn't that long ago too.

I've checked out the Ghost Recon beta with it (awesome, I liked Widlands, this is that just better), and now playing The Division 2.
