Poll of the Day > Steam Summer Sale and Gaming Daily Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ended up getting:

Kenshi
Star Valor
Pyre
Risk of Rain 2
Ryse: Son of Rome

Ryse was the only impulse buy. It's cheap and I know it's short, but I've been curious about it for ages.

Lightning round... GO GO GO

...otherwise Ima just buy trading cards and donate to the Canadian Red Cross or something

So with the sale I bought Stray, Octopath Traveler 2, and Elden Ring since they were on my backlog but not yet in my collection of games to actually play, if that makes sense.

Yesterday I played through the first half of Stray, taking forced breaks whenever the game crashed (like every other cutscene or checkpoint) because this is on my older laptop. I'm taking this as a sign that I'll need to download Steam on the newer computer along with some of my library on here; that should improve matters. The older one can probably handle OT2, but... The laptop that once handled The Witcher 3 is having trouble with Stray and The Witcher 2. <_<

In the end I bought Tunic, Inscryption, and CrossCode. Just some indies I wanted to check out.

I wanted to get some AAA games but I remembered how many I bought that I still haven't finished. How can I justify FF7R when I got DQXI and Nier Automata 3 years ago and haven't finished them yet?

I kinda wish I'd gotten DQXI on Steam instead of PS4. I'd have cut down on the grind time and probably finished the game, rather than stopping about 2/3 of the way in because I hit the mind-numbing, time-consuming grind when there's so much else to play.
