Steam Summer Sale 6/11-6/22

What games are you getting? I guess it's just me but none that have been on sale really appeal to me.

 

I'm not sure about Ark, I see that it's popular so it must be fun, but whenever I've watched in Twitch it looks boring. I mostly see people running around with an axe and constantly accessing their inventory. Am I missing something about it?

I picked up victor vran, beep, out there somewhere, war of mine, lego jurrasic world, shantae: risky revenge, sniper elite 3, styx, binding of isaac, hotline miami 2, metro redux, valkyria chronicles, black mesa, tales from the borderlands, wolfenstein TNO, halo spartan assault, fez, darksiders bundle, don't starve bundle, legend of grimrock 2, new n tasty, next car game, xcom dlc and I think thats it. Lol. Only other games I'm looking at is Ark, ori and the blind forest, dark souls 2 sotfs, and grim dawn. Might get borderlands prequel if it gets cheap enough but probably not.

Only game I was really interested in was Ark.  But I'd heard a lot of bad things about poor optimization.  It's still early in development but I can't see the sense in paying out 20-30 bucks for something you can't play.  So I downloaded a torrent of it and the optimization is pretty bad right now.  I get about 10fps with a 560ti which is a little old but still can play games pretty well.  Even with everything on low the best I could get was 10 fps.

I'll probably buy it once it's been optimized.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
