This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

See this POST for links to store sale pages, threads of interest and other tools to help you become a more informed PC game shopper.

Even if we say that later acquisition disqualifies it (I disagree since there's a reason why MS spent a bajillion dollars to buy it but whatever), I'd go with Angry Birds as best known indie. If we disqualify that, you still have plenty of titles like Terraria or FTL that would take the crown.

Or Woodle Tree Adventures. Everyone owns a copy of Woodle Tree Adventures.

I know I’m late to the party, but I was just thinking: isn’t Doom the best known, or at the very least most influential, indie game? At least if we only include games made after major publishers had started to form in the first place?

so cyberpunk o'clock came, and if you preloaded, you have an additional six gigs to download. but everyone is downloading at the same time, so it's crawling. anyways, it says i have three hours left, so I'll just sit here and cry. #firstworldproblems

Would love to hear how performance is going on your system and what you are running it on.
Click to expand...
i7-9700K @ 5GHz, RTX 3080 and 32GB DDR4-3200

1440p Ultra. Ray Tracing on, DLSS locked to Quality; Motion Blur, Chromatic Abb., Lens Flares & Depth of Field are all off (for aesthetic reasons, not performance)

Getting 60-75fps depending on how busy an area is. GPU runs at about 77C which is where it caps out in several other games (Division 2, Control, etc) so no surprise there and is at 98% utilization constantly. My card is undervolted since the 3080 seems to have been overtuned and you can often get better performance out of it by undervolting it slightly so it gets lower temps and doesn't throttle. Doing so lowered peak temps 5C in Time Spy and got me another 300+ points to my score.

So just curious...what is the ballpark figure on cost for a system like yours?

I guess what I am wondering about is the gaming comparison aspects of PC vs Console, this likely being the most demanding next gen game across platforms....

Really nice to see this. Glad it’s working out for you. I pick up my copy in a few hours and have a similar build. Hyped.

Been playing on Series X since yesterday and it looks amazing to me already.

Following in Epic's footsteps with Rocket League, you can get a $10 Ubi store coupon for trying Hyperscape on PC between now and the 17th.

Minimum $15 purchase and no virtual currency, Ubi+ subs, etc.  Doesn't stack with other coupons.  No pre-orders.  But it does work with new releases and expires on Jan 31st so maybe they'll have some Winter sale prices to stack it on.

Been thinking about finally buying R6 Siege recently. $4.99 isn't bad for the deluxe edition. Not thrilled about being stuck in the Ubi launcher, though.

Epic freebies are up. Also Dec 17th is start of their holiday sale and a free game each day for 15 days.

Glad to hear they're doing that again. I fully expect we'll see a lot of repeats, but nonetheless. Probably played more Into the Breach last holiday than anything else.

Played a bunch of games from that giveaway, but another highlight was Ape Out. My girlfriend, who doesn't play a lot of video games, was actually really taken by it and we ended up playing handing it off after each death through the first few stages.

I think you have to deal with Ubi launcher on some level no matter what. I know it makes me go through it when playing R6 on Steam. To the point where I sort of wish I had just bought it on Ubi for one less layer of nonsense.

ryzen 5 3600, radeon 6800, 24 gb 2400 ram

ultra preset, rt off, motion blur and film grain off, vsync on

pretty steady 60 fps at 1080p, dips to 55 sometimes when i'm driving or in larger areas. i, too undervolt my gpu, but that's because my psu is under spec.

From what I saw on GOG and Steam Boards - sounds like the most demanding game I've ever heard; the new Crysis basically.

If for some crazy reason you don't already own either of those, they're both worth at least one playthrough. The PoE series in particular is great. Tyranny is . . . a bit odd, but still worth playing.

I still grabbed them, even though I own them on Steam.

Tyranny was great IMHO; and PoE1 Definitive and even actually PoE2 are both backlogged.

One good thing here: I don't have Tyranny: Gold on Steam, just Tyranny: Regular Edition there - so this solves the Missing DLC problem that I was having w/ that game.

EDIT:

I always grab free copies from Epic (even if owned elsewhere), b/c sometimes those Epic-versions are DRM-FREE or you can use "-EpicPortal" trick to bypass the Epic-client DRM.

There was a surprisingly great Humble RPG Bundle back in (incredibly) 2019 (yeah, I thought Humble had already gone to shit before then but what do you know) that had both of these in the BTA tier. Along with Deep Sky Derelicts in the $1 tier.

They were both the vanilla editions though, so pretty amazing that Epic packed in the DLC for these.
