Let's share some good deals!

I haven't really found anything, hence why I'm curious to what everyone else is picking up.

Nothing. I only play one game which is over 10 years old and it's still just as good as the day I got it.

Stealth Archer Simulator?

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

My mind went: "omg is there a stealth archer sim...oh wait"

Skyrim?

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Bethesda really hit gold with Skyrim. I truly hope TES6 isn't a huge disappointment.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Me too…mostly.

Only it's over 20 years old. And it's still getting expansions, all except for the latest of which I have bought.

And it's not "just as good", it's way better than it was back in 1999.

Another AoE2 enjoyer I presume?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha, yup.

I was a bit misleading though, because I also play a lot of the 2.5-year-old AoE4, and a tiny amount of AoM and AoE3 (and expect the amount of AoM to go way up later this year when Retold comes out).

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's crazy how well that game holds up even today. Also quite hilarious how completely different my playing style is today than when I was 12. I had no clue about how to counter specific units, build order or even luring the boars. I'd absolutely wipe floor with my past self even with the medicore skills I have at it now.

Yeah it's pretty incredible. I don't know if I ever played without at least resource cheats as a kid.

I do remember knowing the triangle infantry beats cavalry beats archers, but also thinking "more expensive units must be better". So I would build m@a-line to counter scouts or knights, rather than spear-line. I probably never built more than 20 vills, either.
