Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

    Cyberpunk is on sale for 65% off so I finally picked it up (and its DLC). Currently downloading, I’m looking forward to checking it out. I tried it out shortly after launch, I think a demo or a friend’s house, but it never clicked for me so I didn’t get it. It was also incredibly buggy. I heard it’s far better now though, especially with the DLC, so I’ll give it a real shot.

      It’s more stable, interesting, and alive than any Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or GTA game in my opinion. If you like any of those, there’s a good shot you’ll enjoy it.

        I think Skyrim feels more alive because you can talk to every NPC and most of them have unique conversations.

        Most NPCs in CP2077 are animated decorations.

          While true you can talk to more NPCs, the largest city in Skyrim has like 40 people. I find cyberpunk’s world feels more realistically populated for a giant city.

            It looks more realistic but it breaks immersion when they turn out to be not interactive.

            But yes I agree that CP2077 has a realistic looking crowded city.

              I feel like it never broke my immersion cause how often are you stopping every stranger in a real life metropolis to talk to them? Seeing all these nameless people walking by is very much what it’s like to walk around a city in real life.

      Dude. Fair warning for anybody getting into Vampire Survivors.
      It’s designed with bunch of video lottery type effects.
      This thing will grab you and not let go. Particularly after you get good at it.
      Each round is 30 minutes. I think that’s so people will step away regularly instead of being stuck there. Seriously, its addictive.

      (And cheap, and fun, and constantly getting free updates, and dev has his own damn wiki not on fandom.)

    Just got Disco Elysium since I keep hearing how it’s great.

    I’m debating Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Both are super cheap without DLC and pretty cheap with the DLC. I’ve owned both historically back in the day but neither survived and apparently I didn’t get them on steam back then. The DLCs would really be interesting at this point but I am so cheap I can’t convince myself
