I picked up Salt because it's been on my radar for a long time. Got some DLC for Rome 2 Total War, and I'm really tempted to get Conan Exiles though I only have one friend who owns it.
 
Bought Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1. Never tried autism the series before so this should be fun.
 
Stellaris looks mildly affordable now, but apparently it's gotten review bombed. What's the story behind that?
Reading through some of the reviews, it looks like the AI may be suffering from some critical brain damage.

I do recommend picking it up with the DLC though (specifically Utopia and Synthetic Dawn; Apocalypse is interesting but less critical).

Anyone got any recommendations?

Nepnep is a grindfest. You'll lose the track of the story while grinding. I dropped the game half-way due to that.
The English translation and voices are pretty good though.

As for me, I'm getting the DLC pack for Victoria II and probably nothing else.
 
I bought Everything, Bomb Squad Academy, Eador. Imperium, and From the Depths just because they were all dirt cheap and have been on my wish list for a while. Doing shit on WoW of a time-sensitive nature (trying to finish the last mage towers I want to do before the pre-patch) so I dunno when I'll actually get to play them.

I don't get paid until tuesday but I'll probably pick up The Evil Within 2 for sure. Will have to look through the store page for anything else that might interest me.

Jesus you weren't kidding, also to my surprise it's actually kind of hard for a meme game. Not being allowed to use healing abilities outside combat sucks.
 
Nioh, Evil Within 2, and maybe the Prey DLC if they’re autistic and drop it by accident at some point. Off topic, but does anyone know if the Amazon Basics Xbone controller is any good? My beloved 360 pad is finally starting to die.

i dunno, im thinking of getting some of the Assassins Creed Games and Doom? Anything that has to horror really. Any recommends? Any good JRPGS I should know about?
 
I got Rayman Origins (which I had previously gotten off of uPlay, but that version was a total mess) and Duck Game. I also got Metal Slug X, but then I refunded it, 'cause it felt a little off and maybe there's a better way to experience it. But once I get my money back, I'm buying Guacamelee.
 
I've only purchased 13 or 14 games so far, almost all adventure in one form or another. I thought about pulling the trigger on Deliverance but I know I won't have time to really devote to it for months.

Is there any good simulation or strategy games on sale that might fly under most people's radar?

I miss the old Summer Sale format - with the flash sales and all.
 
I got Postal REDUX and Postal 2

Love the soundtrack of the first game and I enjoy the second for its fucking around and less serious tone, overall nice games.

Multiple things culminating together at once. AI and gameplay issues being the big one, and there's a crowd that doesn't like Paradox's nickle and dime DLC policies, and now there's a growing crowd thinking Paradox is starting to pander to the sjw crowd for some reason. I haven't really looked into the last one much because I get enough of that tisms browsing here.

Anyways I'm looking at Beam.NG since they're partnering up with a car tycoon game I have (Automation) that allows you to export cars made in the tycoon game to Beam.NG to drive.
