Steam is running lots of discounts on lots of shit

Are Way of the Samurai 3 and 4 good?

I finished my backlog, AMA

>Nioh, dynasty warriors, atelier, blue reflection on sale all time low
>Ace combat, Tales of, Scarlet nexus
>DMC, dead rising, monster hunter
But sure, your week is ruined because SEGA didn't put a few games on sale.

Someone please explain this franchise and give recs, I heard some have a time limit? I like that mechanic.
I played Killer7 in my ps2 and got my ass kicked, I feel like with a mouse it's going to be laughably easy.

Monster hunter rise is getting an expansion soon and the player base might hop over to that one instead. DMC port works, but there's some details in graphics lost when it was ported from PS2 to PC, there is a style switching mod you'll need to install

I dont know why they'd bother to make a golden week sales page and then not discount at all. I think they are just taking longer than usual for some reason

This "sale" is shit.

Is Fatal Frame worth the price or should I wait for a bigger discount? I'm not on a rush

>years old game
>50% off
what do they meem by this?

Based fellow ARS$ chad
It's just a game about cute girls doing cute things while fighting shit that is complimented by a very autistic crafting system in the form of alchemy, there's a few entries with a timer limit and some other shit, it's not super easy but if you craft like an autist you can break the game easily.

Other than Nioh and DMC, what game is on sale that I can put shitloads of time that has great combat and action? It can have RPG elements but I just want a damn good action game with depth to get into bros.

>not a single good sale

Any titty games?

It's not a bad game but it's the weakest Fatal Frame imo

>wait for a bigger discount
You'd have to wait an entire life time for that. KT's games rarely ever get a noticeable bigger discounts unless said game bombed hard.

If you enjoy time constraints, sure. 4 is more wacky while 3 tries to serve a more serious story. It still has some silly in it. You have a set number of days before the story is over, depending on how you spend and what happens during these days, you get an ending. It's made to be replayed.

Why?

It's okay to hate videogames, just don't blame it on the sale

Monster Hunter World
At least 100 hours is guaranteed.

Should I start with Disgaea 1 or 5?

>100 hours
Lol

ive never played a musou game, are any of the koei tecmo sales particularly good deals to start with?

DW8

This sale isn't really that good in comparison to other sales, but at least I found some neat stuff
Any thoughts?
I already have first Disgaea in my library though I still haven't played it yet
Was gonna get Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls, but realized the Phoenix Wright Trilogy have better value since it's practically 3 whole games
Also I never played a Suda51 game before, so I'm not sure what to expect

Attached: cart.png (771x666, 184.5K)

Well, I did say at least.

Emulate Dynasty Warriors 5
People told me 7 was better than 8 and I bought it and it's massively inferior to a PS2 game from 20 years ago

How is Roguebook? Anyone try it out yet?

Musou games are really fun but don't give developers/publishers any money.

DW7 and Spirit of Sanada for the story, DW8 and SW5 for the gameplay.

Only in the story department, general consensus is that 8 blows 7 out of the water the gameplay and contents department.

>I'm not sure what to expect
weird shit

Atelier games are broken into trilogies each with very differing mechanics that often divide the fanbase. The games are about being a cute girl and doing alchemy and stuff, you dont save the world or anything, its not a grand adventure, more like a SOL.

For example the very first Atelier game is just about figuring out how to feed yourself after your master disappears and the game ends after a series of alchemy exams that make you a licensed alchemist.

I'd defiintely recommend the first game just cause its a great entry point and its pretty short

This is how you can tell 2022 will be a terrible year for sales.

> square enix golden week sale on Japanese eshop including DQ11
> nothing for American eshop

alternatively you can start on Ryze cause thats the trilogy that went full coomer and its the latest one so its more modernized

>Tales of Berseria 8 dollars
is this worth playing on my steam deck? I've played every Tales game up to like Graces/Vesperia whichever is the latest but I didnt really like Arise all that much, felt too weird.

>indie game more than a year old
>25% off
why is this allowed?

>why wait on rogue legacy 2?
It just got officially released. The sales for it will get better if you're patient.

>Persona 5 strikers is 60 dollars during a golden week sale
but why

Friendly reminder: avoid Nioh 2 if you:
- Are a Soulsborne / Sekiro / Elden Ring fan
- Hate Diablo loot and games designed around Diablo loot
- Hate games that reuse their own content
- Played Nioh 1 and hated it

Attached: 20220429204341_1.jpg (1920x1080, 399.12K)

None of the SEGA games are discounted for some reason.

>worth playing on my steam deck
It's not worth playing at all

Friendly reminder to kill yourself

>30+ dollars

Nope!

If you're getting Phoenix Wright, switch out for Phoenix Wright + Japanese Wright. That way you get 5 games and some extra cases for $38.
>Disgaea 2
Switch out for Disgaea 2 on its own. You can get artbooks for free via the artbook collections on Archive.
>Phantom Brave
Everyone in the game are cunts.
>Killer7
Do it. You'll get mindfucking weird shit, but do it.
>DMC1-3
Either get Bayonetta or this. Since Bayonetta isn't on sale, get this.

When choosing a Disgaea all you need to know is the later games have more mechanics and layers than the earlier ones. Except for 6, which kind of goes backwards and becomes an idle game.
They're all fun and feel similar but it might be difficult to play 1 after 5 since there are mechanics in 5 that aren't in 1.
It would probably be good to get an idea if you like the series first. 2 has a demo on Steam, and the others have demos on console. They're basically strategy RPGs that expect you to break the game with the systems provided. You're either killing enemies in one hit or you're figuring out a cheese strategy to kill your enemies that can kill you in one hit.

Killer7 is great, would recommend
You don't need to have played other Suda stuff, I'd really only touched half of The Silver Case which bored me to tears and I still loved it

I have like 7$ what do I get? Re7 and mgsv are cheap on key sites

I haven't played any jrpgs in a fucking minute and I want something comfy. Been looking at these.

Atelier Ryza
Dragon Quest XI S
Tales of Arise

Also not a jrpg but Fatal Frame Project Zero I haven't played any of them since 2 came out forever ago.

Persona 4 Golden

If you're interested in DQXI download the demo.
It's 6-10 hours long and you can carry your save into the full game.

Is Atelier Sophie 2 a good intro to the series?

Ryza is the definition of comfy

Finally got around to buying Sekiro now that it's on sale.

Luckly for me Sonic was never good

Played it on Vita forever ago and not big on persona since I played SMT first it always felt like SMT light.

Might just do that hopefully the demo runs on steam deck also.

I've been wanting to pick it up since I loved the older atelier games but I really struggled with what I played of Sophie it wasn't great.

Nioh 2 probably won't have a good sale for a while since its a relatively newer game, so this will probably be the best you will have for a while. However Nioh 1 has a 75% discount if you are a poorfag and is still pretty good.

>They're basically strategy RPGs that expect you to break the game with the systems provided. You're either killing enemies in one hit or you're figuring out a cheese strategy to kill your enemies that can kill you in one hit.
Sounds like fun then since I enjoy character building in pathfinder

Not him but I emulate.
I know that PC Disgaea is missing some content that can be easily patched back in thanks to modder bros. At least this is true of Disgaea 2.
Assuming I can emulate PSP Disgaea 1+2 with no issue, should I get 4 and 5 individually ($32) or should I go whole hog anyway with the bundle ($35)?

Ryza might still be fine to try then because its different from Sophie although in general I did more the Arland trilogy more than the later ones

Is Atelier Ryza a decent, maybe even good game (like Mary Skelter) or plain dogshit (like Neptunia)?

like the Arland trilogy more*. People dislike the time limit but I like time limits because the game can base events around it so it feels like alive

>If you're getting Phoenix Wright, switch out for Phoenix Wright + Japanese Wright. That way you get 5 games and some extra cases for $38.
Can't, I'm already spending overbudget, so I think I will buy it next time when it goes below $20 on sale
>Switch out for Disgaea 2 on its own. You can get artbooks for free via the artbook collections on Archive.
I mean only half dollar difference, so it's not that big of a deal
>Either get Bayonetta or this.
Doesn't Bayonetta on PC is missing some exclusive content that's present on Wii U and Switch?

I really wish the older trilogies went on a steeper sale after all this time. I'd love to pick up the Arland trilogy again on pc but goddamn I'm not paying 60 bucks on sale for them.

>$7, keysites
gg.deals/deals/?drm=1&maxPrice=7&minMetascore=51

its definitely in the decent pile but you kind of either like Atelier games or you dont. Lots of gathering, alchemy, spreadsheets for maximum autism

Played Atelier Sophie, loved it. Should I continue with Sophie 2, or should I play them in release order?

>30% off : game is released 1-6 months ago
>50% off : game is released 6 months to 2 years ago
>75% off : game is released 2+ years ago

I'm so fucking tired of seeing games released 5+ years ago on sale for 25-30% off, holy shit.

Attached: 1629146562232.png (593x656, 411.85K)

continue with Sophie first cause if you go backwards you'll have to learn new/old alchemy systems

>a trillion sales going on
>Elden Ring is still the top seller even after having been out for two months and not on sale
God damn.

>hear ace attorney is fun detective game
>have to steal evidence
>Witnesses constantly commit perjury and just get to retestify
>Not actually possible to work out motive and how until game decides to give you the extra information

Obra dinn remains the best detective game, does anything even come close?

I probably shouldnt get arise but I also want to get it. Help

Worth 30 bucks yet or is it still shit?

Attached: file.png (966x502, 608.18K)

why are they so stingy with dark souls sales?

Is Nakara fun? The gameplay looks really fun but all of the reviews say that the pvp is ruined because of chinese hackers. Is it true?

try the demo

it was pretty enjoyable when I played it early on. There was some latency issues and I didn't see any hackers but they might have come later after I stopped

Nobody lied to you. Emphasis on the word fun. If you haven't noticed AA doesn't take itself seriously.

If you've got ps4/ps5 you can pick it up for like 5 bucks on ebay. Wait a while it will definitely go lower on pc though. Its worth 30 bucks at this point however its really fleshed out and fixed a lot of issues also the pc version had way less issues to begin with.
