The Evil Within 2 is free on Prime this month. Basically don't purchase any Bethesda games lol.

And it's a GOG code and DRM-FREE too.

 

I recently played The Evil Within 1: Complete and thought it was great.

No kidding. That is 2 freebies in a month on gog and doom eternal glory kill simulator for humble bundle.

No kidding. That is 2 freebies in a month on gog and doom eternal glory kill simulator for humble bundle.

In the past year alone I've gotten Wolfenstein TNO, Dishonored 1 and 2, Oblivion GOTY, Fallout 1/2/Tactics/3/NV/76, Prey, Quake 1, Doom 64 and now TEW2. This year is also the 30th anniversary of Doom so don't be shocked if Epic gives the whole collection at some point.

[Souffrir]

Ah, crap, now I have to go dig up my old list of bundled games to see which ones I already own and haven’t bothered adding to my library. Where the frig did I leave that, again?

I figured prices from the Black Friday Sale and Winter Sale would be the same, and that was mostly true. At least that held true for most games on my wishlist. So I bought a few then and only ended up spending about $7 on a few lower priced games.

 

I made a greater effort to play and finish more games in 2022, and I succeeded. In the past I've gotten caught up in a handful of nearly endless games and ignored a ton of great story-based games.

Every time I look and my profile and see all those games sitting there unplayed makes me hesitant to throw many more onto the pile. So, I figure finishing some will make me feel better about my hoarding problem.

[MysterD]

Ended up passing on Red Dead Redemption 2, put it on the Wishlist though.

[valiki7375]

Playstation Store: 

Anthem

 

Steam: 

Outlaws

Stray (won via giveaway on the Alienware site)

 

 

 

Now I'm debating between the following... in the last minutes of the sale

 

Red Dead Redemption 2 

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (Just confirmed that Trails in the Sky works on the Steam Deck)

I personally would go with Legends...I enjoy that series...played 1 - 4 of trails of cold steel (have to start at #1) and as much as i enjoyed RDR1, RDR2 was too slow and just couldnt get into

[MysterD]

Playstation Store: 

Anthem

 

Steam: 

Outlaws

Stray (won via giveaway on the Alienware site)

 

 

 

Now I'm debating between the following... in the last minutes of the sale

 

Red Dead Redemption 2 

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (Just confirmed that Trails in the Sky works on the Steam Deck)

RDR2 is awesome.

 

I dunno if that works on the Deck - but probably would be worth finding out if it does; and also well or poorly it runs.

 

Does Rockstar Store even work on the Deck? Or can it be bypassed?

 

Never played of the TLOH - and still dunno how I missed them, even when Trails was Bundled years ago. And it probably is something I'd like, too. Maybe I'm just cheap. [shrug]

[MysterD]

Epic Store - Freebies:

 

This Week's Freebies:

- Kerbal Space Program

- Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice

 

Next Week:

- First Class Trouble

[Tony Broke]

Dang, I'd probably ever ever play it but i wouldnt  mind having that in my library and this one had advance notice. is there a reddit or something to keep up with delistings?

The Delisted Games website, delistedgames.com/watch-list/ ,  is good for tracking games that are going to be delisted. The Watch List is very useful, everything is grouped by date

[caldazar]

I went kinda overboard on the sales...

 

Received for Christmas: Spiderman, and Spiderman Miles Morales

Purchased with received gift card for Steam: Midnight Suns/Xcom bundle to complete the collection

 

Purchased because I have no impulse control:

Circadian Dice

ZERO Sievert

Graveyard Keeper collection

Gotham Knights

Borderlands The Handsome Collection (to complete it)

Soulstone Survivors

World of Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy 3D Remake

From what I have read, the game does work... but it does push the system pretty hard when configured for a locked 30FPS experience.

 

I may hold off on that as I really have a ton of backlog games to go through.

[Neuro5i5]

My 'Haul'
 
Steam:
Outward: Three Brothers
DEATH STRANDING Director's Cut Upgrade
 
Epic:
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
 
Ubi:

[MysterD]

Crap, I forgot about Immortal too.

I bought that from Ubi too w/ the $10 off coupon.

 

Someone mentioned Anthem - and yeah, I bought that too w/ Amazon GC $ from Binging my life away.

[MysterD]

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition = $4.95

- Steam-version.

- UbiSoft Connect version (only).

 

Note - All versions utilize Denuvo AND also UbiSoft Connect client-app.

[samnite]

Epic Store - Freebies:

 

This Week's Freebies:

- Kerbal Space Program

- Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice

 

Next Week:

- First Class Trouble

Am I imagining things or was Kerbal Space Program given out for free on EPIC before? I clicked the link thinking it would say already in my library but it didn't. The release date is also listed as today. Is this a remaster or some kind of a reboot? 

[psunami]

I started playing it on PC, before switching to PS4/5 and have been enjoying it.  I don't like the city structure in between missions, but there are still people out there playing.

[TheKbob]

I made a greater effort to play and finish more games in 2022, and I succeeded. In the past I've gotten caught up in a handful of nearly endless games and ignored a ton of great story-based games.

I setup a Steam library bucket labelled "Games to Play on 2023." With my new ones and old ones mixed.

Goal is to play, but not necessarily beat all of them.

I'm creating a similar tracker for my physical games.

Since I'm complete in all my professional studies, I'm making it my goal to beat 24 games this year. Time for a year of hardcore goofing off!

[Souffrir]

I got diddly squat.

[Titan X]

Games I bought during the holiday sales

 

$02 Ridge Racer Unbounded Bundle

$03 Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

$09 Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate

$10 Doom Eternal

$10 Resident Evil 2 remake

$20 Street Fighter V (complete version)

[jboy]

Steam.

 

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition = $4.95.

-> This comes w/ Denuvo 

 

Does anyone know if this requires UbiSoft Connect (UPLAY) junk?

Yes, it requires Ubisoft Connect even though it doesn't state it on the store page.

[walletandgromice]

From what I have read, the game does work... but it does push the system pretty hard when configured for a locked 30FPS experience.

I may hold off on that as I really have a ton of backlog games to go through.

It's been the only game I've played on my deck (and occasionally on PC) for the last month. If you're trying to reduce the backlog, rdr2 is NOT going to help.

I use the Rockstar Launcher version, FYI.
