mw5 just has a solid core loop and great aesthetics, but its a good base for so much more if/when modders dig into it. as it is, it's fun to try to optimize a super strong death lance for missions but... after the bigger plot and managerial gameplay of hbs battletech, it is lacking. half price is a good price for it, i agree.

if they could translate roguetech into a mw5 mod, i would flip my shit

Epic free games this week:
Guild of Dungeoneering - I played this a while back. It's fine. It's a deck-builder where your equipment determines your cards. Pretty interesting, up until late game. Late game, you appear to need to play perfectly, and also need perfect RNG to win some fights. Nobody got time for that trash.
Kid A Mnesia - some sort of weird-looking thing made by Radiohead. It's a bunch of art and recordings to celebrate an anniversary of 2 albums.
Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) - It looks like an artsy platformer.

Cyberpunk 2077 is 50% off on GOG, supposedly the deepest discount so far.

Given all that's been said and done... it might be sufficiently enticing for the morbidly curious, I guess?

Personally, I'd say yes. For all its flaws it was still a decent open world game, and for the weird gameplay/balance decisions there are always mods. I only encountered one hard crash and some minor visual bugs from a playthrough around September. The strangest was certain textures randomly cycling through at an extremely quick pace, but that was fixed with a restart (and only occurred when I'd been playing for hours back to back).

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/3010 was one major mod I used - was nice for armor/weapons to be a bit more normalized so enemies don't become bullet sponges from scaling.

Hey, I'm not sure if you're allowed to do it, but I have a 85% GOG discount on Surviving Mars: First Colony Edition and I don't need it.

Oh hey, Starward Rogue + DLC is on sale for less than four bucks USD, if anyone out there wanted to check out one of the vanishingly few bullet hell type games (specifically twinstick roguelike style) that implemented a more-or-less-turn-based mode.

One of its character/mech choices has it so enemies and bullets only act when you do, making it one of the very, very small number of bullet hell games I can actually consistently beat :P

... anyway, it's pretty great, and totally worth the current asking price if you've any interest in its sort of gameplay.

I'm quite pleased with myself for only wasting £13 in the sale.   Namely Civil war 2, Revolution Under Siege Gold and Master of Orion 2 (which i've never played).

The last two are excellent games. The first one as well probably.

Darkest Dungeon 2 which just came out in early access on epic is currently half off because of the epic sale coupon. Devs get full money, Epic ends up losing cash on the transaction, you get the game half-off. win/win/win

Epic is also doing their 15 days of free games again this year.

We're already a couple of days in, but today is Remnant: From the Ashes, a very solid souls-like game, for free!

It's SALES time!

Steam's winter sale went up today- you can claim a free sticker for chat every other day, no other gimmicks.

Y'all ogling any hot deals or niche titles?

Honestly I'm not too excited about anything I've seen at the moment, I have a lot of games that I haven't played or haven't bothered to finish, too, so maybe it's fine to wait.

I chucked a couple things in my cart. Can't really justify snapping up any of the more expensive games, even with some decent discounts...   
Noticed a couple of titles in there that were on sale pretty recently, like Sea of Thieves and Valheim (which I bought at a bigger discount, thankfully - btw it's my pick for the Steam Awards), too. Huh.

I'm annoyed that Stellaris: Nemesis is only twenty percent, so $16.  I've waited a while, but nah, I'll wait longer.  Yes it's a good game that I've sank many nights in, but... IDK.  I'm glad they're still pushing free updates to it also.  But- it's just not enough of a discount, I'll live.

Oh, the one thing I'm pretty sure I'll get this sale is Wolfstride. I also bought moon: Remix RPG Adventure when it released since I'd wanted to play it for 15 years. I'd say its genre is actually "classic point and click adventure game set in a Final Fantasy type world." Not what I was expecting, and I got to a point in the game where it seems to be wrapping up towards the conclusion, so I get more annoyed when I don't know what to do next. But it is not terrible for those who really, really like this kind of game.

Other recs -- if anyone has Animal Crossing-adjacent urges, Cozy Grove is pretty good. I think Animal Crossing was a little cuter but this is as good as it gets on PC for now.
