Pretty sure there are mods to "help" the graphics. More inquiring on gameplay and mechanics.

Sea of Thieves may be up your ally when it releases. https://youtu.be/fH3n15HBwCM

I actually just played through the entirety of the original Deus Ex about 2 years ago, and I absolutely have to say it was great. Controls were fine, graphics were fine, it was a very enjoyable experience, every bit as fun as I remember it being when I first played it in the early 2000's.

Thanks! I'll probably get it. Certainly can't beat the price.

I have been wanting to play that as well but I havent gotten around to it yet. I have it on PS4, part of my free game library.

Yeah, i too have everything i want. Maybe Just Cause 3 DLC? Can't really think of anything else i want that i don't already have
Unless i get desparate and get some of the Early Access games i'm following, haven't done that since Original Sin and Wasteland 2.

Yes, I should give it a try again. I know I tried it a few years ago as a trial and didn't like it, but I don't remember why exactly .

This is it for me, I'm pretty satisfied with these discounts. I hope I get to play them all before the Winter sale

Bah. Hearts of Iron IV is not on sale. Well to be fair, the game was just released.


I have $35 left. And Galati. Civ is on sale for thirteen and some change.

For me, these sales are more or less for consolidating my game library. I was able to pick up all the saints row games (+ dlc) and GTA games (aside from V) for under 20$. That's a win for me.

Bought Rebel Galaxy, Prolly buy some other Sub 9.99 games later

GMG is having an up to 75% off sale on WB games: https://www.greenmangaming.com/warner-titles/

Also don't forget to use the 20% off coupon.

Just picked up Age of Empires2 HD Edition and all expansions for $7 on Steam. Pumped!

Wow, really? I'm gonna have to see how much the African xpac is. That's the only thing I'm missing.

Well you could also try Raven's Cry or whatever they renamed it to mask the horrible launch, I mean you already played Risen 2, it can't be much worse

Did they ever fix the major problems with that game? It wasnt a horrible launch, it was just horrible gameplay.

PSN now is having a flash sale, and I picked up the Season Pass of GoT. I already played Episode 1 when it was free several months ago. It is a nice game, cool artstyle that telltale uses. I just never thought it was worth the $25 for the season pass. So for $6, I was all for it.

I think it was like $5 by itself D:

I'm no big fan of Steam-required games, but noticed ARK: Survival Evolved on sale for $16.49US yesterday, 25 Jun 2016. I've been moderately interested in it for some time. At that price I decided to take the plunge, though I doubt I've ever play it more than casually. It's a large download. With my relatively slow DSL connection it's gonna be several days before it's totally downloaded and playable.

I'm torn between Distant Stars and Galactic Civ 3. I have a thirty dollar budget and cannot get both. First world problems!

If I were to choose one of Pillars of Eternity or Divinity Original Sin which should I choose and why?

Speaking for myself here of course, but between them Divinity is a no-brainer for me. Sure, the story may be generic, but it's got https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD9899CBOY0, humor amid the darker themes, nice graphcis with great envrionments, and the combat system that is just awesome. Also it's co-op enabled, but you can play by yourself too, though in that case you better like arguing with yourself
And, though it won't do you any good anymore, they released the Enhanced Edition for free.

Pillars has... i don't know. I've never made it past the first town
Well, the character creation in Pillars is far superior from Role Playing point of view, and choices there do actually effect the conversations. Divinity has plenty of traits and perks, but mostly (not completely) they are for combat, exploration and crafting.

The story of Pillars really isn't any better, and unlike Divinity, it does not have the humor or tongue-in-cheek style to make up for it. And its quests and combat system is nothing to write about either. In general, nothing about Pillars feels inspired; it's like the devs had no real passion for it. Which is strange, because this was a Kickstarter project where Obsidian had free rein to create their own world, characters, and story without having anyone breathing down their necks.

According to an interview with one of the writers (Eric IIRC), they weren't happy even with their main story ideas and went with the least questionable one because they ran out of time. That doesn't exactly scream confidence in your vision...


Still, PoE has better writing and worldbuilding than D:OS. I didn't care about any characters in Divinity, which imo is a problem in an RPG. In the long run I also enjoyed PoE's darker, more serious atmosphere more than Divinity's goofiness, though that is purely a matter of personal preference (and there IS humor in PoE, just lowkey). On the other hand, D:OS has turn-based combat and a lot of environment interactivity, which is a plus in my book.

The Enhanced Edition (that is the only one now avaliable AFAIK) also toned down the humor a bit.
But don't worry, you can still help the old ship cat called Unsinkable Sam get a girl

Picked up Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3 (okay, okay, I bought the Doom 3 BFG edition), Deus Ex and Fable Anniversary all for a grand total of ￡15.20. Bargain.
