Hello, girls and guys! I would really appreciate it if you would help me choose which game I should buy from my wishlist to add in my steam library. I don't care about its release date, no matter how far it is. I also don't care about its price. Also, if a game is still in the pre-order phase, do you think it will get a discount in the Halloween sale or there's no chance to see that happening? Please answer me and choose a game and tell me why should I buy it. Thanks in advance!

My wishlist is (choose 1 game):
Far Cry Primal BOUGHT!
Watch_Dogs2 BOUGHT!
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter BOUGHT!
King's Quest - Season Pass BOUGHT!
Sid Meier's Civilization VI BOUGHT!
South Park The Fractured But Whole BOUGHT!
Virginia BOUGHT!
Dishonored 2 BOUGHT!
Night in the Woods BOUGHT!
Silence BOUGHT!
HITMAN BOUGHT!
Syberia 3
Ghost of a Tale
Blackwood Crossing
Kelvin and the Infamous Machine

I guess I'll have to "buy" your help, so here is a giveaway too.

SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T ANSWERED TO EVERYONE, BUT I HAVE READ EVERY COMMENT OF YOURS!

Going by how much fun the previous incarnations were, Shadow Warrior 2 or Dishonored 2.
Shadow Warrior because it was action packed, had a decent enough story, great variety in levels and it felt fair.
Dishonored because it had lots of freedom in gameplay, seen clips of some highly skilled people doing crazy stunts, also had a decent enough story.

Hopefully the sequels will live up to their predecessors. :)

I don't think that any pre-sale game will ever get a discount, there's no need for them to do so. Also voting for games that aren't released yet is kinda pointless because I have no way to assess if they're good or not.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with any of the games Telltale has published, so +1 for Batman if you're into nice storytelling and I haven't played much of it but so far I like what Shadow Warrior 2 had to offer, a nice and simple "kill and blow up everything you see"-experience. :s
If you wanna go easy on your wallet you could also get Virginia, even if I haven't played it yet it looks like a nice story and kinda reminds me of Twin Peaks in a way (but I could be wrong about that :P).
But that doesn't mean the others you mentioned are bad, for a fact I got them all on my WL ;D, but these are the ones that interest me the most atm.

I am disappointed by the lack or should I say absence of cool small indie games on that list. Anyway I'd say go with Shadow Warrior 2. It's going to have proceduraly generated levels and weapons and it's most likely going to be super-awesome with a lot of replayability value. It might not have a very interesting story though, but Shadow Warrior games aren't known for their story and you have it on your wishlist anyway so I'll assume you don't mind that.

I have played many indie games. My favorite genre is adventure point and click. And I'm a hardcore fan of Daedalic Entertainment. I try to keep my wishlist short. And I can buy indie games whenever I want. Are these excuses enough? :P
I mostly care about the storyline, but Shadow Warrior was a damn awesome game, if you ask me!

The original Shadow Warrior is one of my favorite FPS games ever made. The reboot from 2013 was crap though. I bought it because I wanted first person shooter and what I got was first person hack and slash with abilities (because the weapons dealt so little damage there was no point in using them over katana).

I tried Far Cry Primal on PS4. It's really a nice game, the gameplay is not so different from the others Far Cry, but it's really refreshing to play during prehistory. It was a very easy game at the beggining, but they've added a Survivor mode quite challenging.

I didn't try anything else, but if I could, I would buy South Park The Fractured But Whole. I loved the first one, and would have played it again and again if my backlog was not so huge. If you like the serie, then you will love the game.

I was going to buy FC Primal but in the end decided not to as it just seemed to be more of the same but with spears and axes instead of guns. I bought and finished Mankind Divided and enjoyed it, its cheap on cdkeys. I bought The Devils Daughter and after finishing the first case im kinda torn, you dont really get any kind of resolution, cant say to much without spoiling it, the game just moves on to the next case, again this is cheap on cdkeys. Cant speak for others i havent played or the games that havent been released yet. As i footnote im looking forward to the release of Mafia III, wont be pre-ordering, not after NMS, so ill wait and see how its recieved before i decide to buy or not. Good luck choosing and i hope you enjoy whatever you finally decide upon.

Both Shadow Warrior and Dishonored were great games. Since the sequels are not out yet, there are no guarantees that they will be good and I actually don't advise to preorder games: it's always better to wait for the finished product to be out and see how it's received by the community. Still, the other games aren't (IMO, ofc) interesting enough to be played so if I have to limit myself to your list, I'd go with those two

I vote for Sherlock Holmes and Dishonored 2.
I vote for Sherlock because, although there are other detective games out there, it is a genre that hasnt been done to death. Its story rich and choices matter, which means it will probably be a meaningful gaming experience.
I vote for Dishonored 2 because the first one was so brilliant to me. There was story, but the strategic options for gameplay with so many secrets is just what I like.
Good luck in choosing.

Cool choices, I like your taste. I understand, I try to keep my wishlist small and mostly with expensive games. My favorite genre is adventure point and click. And why you hate Virginia? o.O

Nice!! , adventures are one of my favorite genre too, indeed. :) Well I don't hate it... That was a poor choice of words. It's probably decent, and it's still an adventure after all in its core, so I guess you wouldn't go wrong with it and I did see in a review that it has david lynch vibes so there's that, those are some interesting prospects.

It's just that I always feel that we have so little time to play so many games out there, that I literally think that I owe it to myself to play/try only the best of the best. No time to try more than that really. That's all. So I'm always super selective. Or at least I try to... This automatically makes me ban some genres of games (action is a big no-no for me), but also more titles than one would think.

Well, I'm also selective, that's why I have a small wishlist. xD But I buy other games too, even if they're not in my wishlist. Cheap games are never in my wishlist, because I can just buy them whenever I want. I would never spend time to play a game that I don't like though. I wouldn't even give it a second chance.

I agree but price is really irrelevant man. I've personally discovered that it's the last thing that matters. Overall ratings and reviews are so much more easier to trust. I've found gems even in free or super cheap games that lasted me for even 10 times the playtime of super expensive games. Price is truly not what defines a good game imo, at least not necessarily. I've found great games in all price ranges during the last 3 decades. And great graphics/production values don't necessarily bring engaging gameplay along with it, sadly. Some times it can happen, but more often than not many of those games are overpriced and overrrated. But yeah, same here, would never spend time on a game I don't like. Why would you? Time is precious. :)

You didn't understand what I meant.

So, you can understand that I don't care about the prices of games, because I mostly like the cheap ones.

I disagree. Batman was pretty silly in that movie.

Spoiler-alert:
Why in hell did he make Superman responsible for the victims of that battle? He knows that it wasn't intentional. And if only Superman's might justifies wanting to kill him, because he could potentially turn against everyone else, how could he justify his own existence?
Not to mention that without Superman protecting people, humans would be much more endangered.
And Ben Afleck showed one of his weakest performances imho.

And just for clarity: I love Batman. The more I'm annoyed when they do such terrible stuff with him.

I personally would buy Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Dishonred 2. Deux Ex: Human Revolution cautivated me instantly. The story really atracted and entertained me. The stealth with RPG skill tree and abilities, and FPS was really good. Plus it's cyberpunk themed <3. I haven't played the old ones. This sequel that continues the story, with the new technology that games are made with, should be an amazing game.
The same goes to Dishonred 2, but with steampunk in there, though the first had cyborg-ish structure in the story, this one has magic in it.

You should check Quantum Break that was released in Steam a couple of weeks before, but you most than likely saw it.

Shadow Warrior 2 and Civ VI
Two very different games, so if you get both you will have variety.

Civ VI - I love the series, and this one looks like a lot of very interesting innovation. Promises to be a notably different game in good ways - as opposed to the ways diehard fans of the series hated V.

Shadow warrior was awesome. Old school feel with new school gameplay improvements. The second looks like the first plus the money to do it even better.

Notably different? You sure? I saw it will have some differences than the previous one, but I don't want it to look just like CIV 5, otherwise it won't be worth the money that I'll spent. :/ I want it to be very different than the previous one or else I can just play CIV 5, instead of buying the new one.
Yes, I can agree about Dishonored. :P

IDK, for some reason I just didn't feel much for Far Cry 4, tho I must admit I haven't played it myself, only seen videos on youtube.

And Ghost Recon Wildlands is 100% different from the division, tho I must admit it kind of looks like it. luckily the mechanics of this game are way more the style I like, no cover to cover gameplay, not having to shoot an enemy multiple times in the head to kill him, multiple ways of attacking an enemy base and a high detailed huge open world map that's 2 and a half to 3 times as big as that of GTA V, all vehicles can be used and all weapons are customisable in lots of ways.
[1 small edit: you can also play this game completely in singleplayer if you want, as the other players will be replaced by AI if you choose to play like that]

but yeah, that's just the kind of game I like, if you don't like that kind of game, that is completely up to you of course :D

good luck trying to pick a game or 2 ;)! :D
