Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure she’d like it.
I was also watching Star Trek: Infinite’s progress. I was quite interested in that one at launch but firmly decided to be patient. Naturally, it was discontinued last week. Oof.
Are there any games you’re currently price watching? Or hoping for bug fixes/more content?
To me DQ11 is such a treasure I’d probably get it full price, just to let SE know there’s still love for that series (not that they’d listen). But, the S version doesn’t add a ton, though… In fact, you get better music and a little more content (and a 2D mode) but technically a graphical downgrade because it’s the switch version. It might get a half off eventually, though.
Having a full party with Shypox, though… Now that makes S worthwhile, haha.
Music can be added back to vanilla mostly as well with a mod.
Oh yes, good point. It can, a friend did it when I ran concurrently with him. It’s not perfect, but it works. I think in terms of importance, it’s lowest on the list (or 2D mode, if that’s not your cup of tea). The additional story is… OK.
But again, you haven’t lived until Serena and Rab both decide to shy pox on the same turn and the boss decides to go ham on the MC, resulting in game over cause you have all the hard stuff turned on.
