Brian Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 25 minutes ago, stepee said: oh yeah that’s a good call, I swore I was done with this years sale but that is too good to own it on Steam I ended up buying the BioWare backlog for $25. Thought it was a good deal since I want to replay ME trilogy, play Andromeda, and maybe revisit Dragon Age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price and without looking at indie stuff there are some options like Valve stuff is all 99 cents each ( Half Life 2, HL2 Ep1, Hl2 Ep2, Portal, Portal 2, Left for Dead 1, Left for Dead2) there is also a remake of Half Life 1 called Black Mesa which would be more new to you which is $3. Then either Dishonred game is also $3. Or Fallout New Vegas is $3. If you can add a couple extra dollars then you can get stuff like Mass Effect Legendary edition or Max Payne 3 which will look great on deck. But my pick if you haven’t played it especially if you haven’t played it would be Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition as that game is still fun and looks great imo on deck and fits in neatly at $3 and then if you have 9 cents you could even add Portal 2. Also my Mom is an option as Brian said. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I think I played Sleeping Dogs. I think it will hold up and should still look pretty decent at 60fps on deck. I also saw Lost in Random which I know @Brian liked for only $3, that’s a newer game. If you haven’t played Portal either then now I’d get The Orange Box which is on sale for $2 and has HL2 with both episodes, portal, and Team Fortress 2 and then get Portal 2 also for the other $1.

Well I looked up Half Life 2 and Sleeping Dogs. Sleeping Dogs is basically GTA in Tokyo and the person playing it said it still holds up in 2023. Portal and Half Life 2 is tempting. Idk, we are talking about $3 so I'd get more bang for my buck with this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Orange Box + Portal 2 is hard to beat for $3 lol - Sleeping Dogs is $3.79 on cdkeys so you can always get it for dirt cheap also down the line edit: Make sure you get “The orange box” which includes Half Life 2 and the episodes and the first portal and TF2, do not purchase HL2 separately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Persona is a very good looking modern game. It’s built on a ps3 engine but it has some modern improvements and is so stylized it looks incredible still. Undertale is a vastly different thing :P But I’ll always encourage people to grow accustomed to different styles and older games because art is the most important thing at the end of the day.

crispy4000 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Calculated my spending for 2023: $110 on Switch (2 games) $120 on PS5 (4 games) $136 on PC (195 games) Total: $366 I might do a little less this coming year, depending on sales. I'm starting to get to that point where most of the AAA games I'd possibly want from the past generation I own. Well, except Nintendo because their prices suck.

crispy4000 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The Steam/Epic sales got me a bit this time. After Steam wallet credit, I spent $30 between Nier Automata, Kingdom Hearts III PC and Skywalker Saga. Don't think those games will be getting much lower than that any time soon. Going to bite on the Humble Choice too eventually this month. @stepee was right about it.

best3444 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Half Life 2 hasn't aged well imo. It didn't hook me at all and I just didn't enjoy it. I probably should have gone with Sleeping Dogs but oh well. It was $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 You probably need to give it some more time, it’s all about building the world in the beginning. But yeah another $3 will come around and Sleeping Dogs will still be on cdkeys :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 7 minutes ago, stepee said: you could always skip to EP1 when you get the gravity gun or just play Portal You start out with the gravity gun in episode 1. It was more of an annoyance than anything fun. I will try Portal but I did play that back in the day. Team Fortress 2 wasn't configured with the proper controls. So navigating the menu was a nightmare lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get Portal 2 also/play that before? That game definitely holds up. For TF2 you should be able to hit the steam button and go to configure controls and find a premade template that works.

stepee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I got Trepeng 2 because I got on a Fear kick. I wish Fear had the slide mechanic which is weird because could have sworn it did! Mandela effect. But it seems pretty cool and really its own thing, which I think is actually a good thing though some people might wish it was more Fear. Seems to run very well on the deck and looks great with all the deep blacks on the oled. That was from the demo which I played first before buying it - maybe retail runs even better! Then I also added the following because I realized there were some humble bundles I purchased years ago that might have some stuff I’d play now on a handheld pc: Earth Defense Force 4.1 + shit ton of dlc Late Shift Fight N Rage Bleed 2 Darkside Detective Slipstream Immortal Redneck Observer MGS 5: Ground Zeroes (completing my collection sans 4) Van Helsling Guacamele!
