Yes I know ANOTHER Summer Sale thread. Bite me.

Anyways, I've been messing with my wishlist a lot lately, sorting out the games in which I want, constantly changing the order. My budget is maybe $30, so depending on the general sale price during it, what do you think would be the best investments in the long run? My taste can be found through my library and this thread. Also, here's the wishlist.

Thanks for the help!

By looking at your time spent with The Binding of Isaac and FTL I would say you like rogue-types. Based on this, I would suggest Sword of the Stars: The Pit plus Mind Games DLC. The base game is fun as is, but the DLC adds two new characters, more monsters, new tiles and areas, and a whole new mechanic of psychic powers.

I do like rogue-types, because infinite replay value. But that's not a wishlist game

You should add it then ;) didn't know you we're asking about the games specific to your wish list rather than games that you would be interested in.

Gish was an impulse buy for me in the last summer sale, and based on 50 minutes of gameplay I would recommend NOT getting it. I understand why it was a big thing back in 2004 but I can't really think of a reason for anyone to play it anymore. And I WANTED to like it because I'm a fan of Edmund McMillen and I appreciate his work. But as a platformer Gish is not a very good one. Also I think the controls were a bit awkward and I couldn't get used to them. Although I admit it could have amplified my disappointment to some degree when I had to wait for the game to be updated before the Mac build started to work, and after all that wait and anticipation it turned out I didn't even like the game.

I second that. I got disappointed by Gish as well, because of the aweful controls.

Don't forget The Nameless Mod. A completely new game with over 50 levels, 13,000 fully-voiced lines of dialogue, good humor, and a bunch of other stuff.

You are missing out on one of the biggest advantages PC have over console gaming. Strange.

I don't NEED mods, though.

Look for about 75% - 80% on older titles and 30ish% on newer ones. Sometimes you get lucky and those numbers can be bigger, but those are about what we have seen in the past.

As far as specific games on your wishlist; you are only trying to last about 6 months (Insert Winter Sale is Coming Joke Here). Find games that coincide that you would either dump a butt-ton of hours into, or perhaps just enjoy enough to keep you going while you mess around in your back catalogue.

My backlog is already there, which is why I kept my wishlist down to 13 items. I mean, look at my 3 most played games. 2 rogue-likes and a game that changes each time it's played. Endless replay value on all 3, basically. 6 months is a pretty long time to me, considering I've only been doing this whole Steam thing for a 12 and a half months

you should get rogue Legacy, it's a Rogue like, and the game changes everytime you play it. out there is a demo available.
looks like your perfect game.

All rogue-likes change each time you play it. That's why it's called rogue-like...

i always think that the principal aspect on rogue-like was the perma-death thing.
