[Meta] Scammer alert on this sub

225 Upvotes

u/VizaviDS is a scammer. When you post on this sub they will message you regarding discounted codes for games that you are asking about, saying they have a friend that sells them. Then they will block and ignore you after sending an invalid code.

They also have an alt account that they will point you to to give them a positive review (u/PufikN).

I’m posting this so hopefully the mods will be made aware and other users too, in case they come across this person.

[PC] Can only buy one game in my list, which one?

37 Upvotes
  • FALLOUT 4 (with all the DLCs): I've been wanting to get into fallout (and other story games) for a while now, but because of college and lack of time I can really only get into one game at a time and put little hours in it. People have recommended me Fallout 4, because I'm the type to enjoy gunplay and gameplay more than story.

  • FALLOUT 76: I've only heard about this recently. Like with fallout 4, if I play this, it will be my first fallout game ever. I've been hearing that it's been getting better(?) but I want to know which one is better. 76 or 4?

  • DEVIL MAY CRY V: I used to play this game back then on my Ps4 but I didn't enjoy it much back then because I really didn't understand nor care about the story and I realized the whole time I was just playing in easy mode. But I sold my Ps4 back then and I'm wanting to try it out again. The only reason why I like this game is because of Vergil.

  • VALHEIM: The gameplay of this intrigued me. I'm not really a survival game type of guy but I want a game that will get me interested in playing survival games even if I get bored easily with survival. I honestly think this game can do that. Suggest me other survival games if I'm wrong. Also if I'm doing this, I'm doing it solo (since I don't have friends to play this with)

  • MONSTER HUNTER RISE: I've been seeing people comparing Rise and World but honestly I like Rise more for its flashy and more active combat style. Me as a person I like things more flashy than slow. I haven't gotten into any monster hunter games, so should I buy Rise? Or should I just save up my money for Wilds?

  • SIFU: I honestly just LOVE combat. Games where there is 0 combat and 0 action I easily get bored of. Lots of people have recommended me Sifu. I really just honestly love an action packed game.

I'm mostly looking for replayability, or money worth for the time I spend on the game. As a busy person I really just want a game I have to log back into after a long day and enjoy. And unless the story intrigues me, I usually drop slow story games with nothing much to do.

[PURCHASED] Is God of War worth it?

15 Upvotes

Was wondering if God of War for PC is worth it as I'm mainly wondering if it has a good story as well as good gameplay, with little to no repeatability throughout the game it seems interesting from snippets of gameplay that I've seen, but I'm not too sure about the actual story part, as I do like to stay away from story spoilers if I'm planning on possibly getting that game, so is it worth it?

[PS5] Astro bot, Sonic Generations, or Sparking zero

Upvotes

I might get either one of these 3 for my birthday so im tryna decide. I just want fun. Ive seen sparking zero and shadow generations and Astro bot play throughs so I’m just thinking now. I want the game to be replay-able, Big ( large story mode and stuff like that), and just very fun. I have been a sonic fan for a long time, a little bit of a dragon ball fan and has played Astro’s playroom before. What should I pick?

[PC] Is silent hill 2 on easy mode (easy puzzles & fight) still a hassle to complete?

4 Upvotes

I would buy this game because i like adventure games despite horror theme but if the game is hard even on easy difficulty level i give up on this title. Is ammo difficult to find? Are basic enemies stronger and more resistant than a player? Is crafting required/optional if exists? Are puzzles easy to solve? I read that this game is exceptionally difficult on normal mode (much more difficult than most games) so if I put everything on easy should i have any problems to finish this game? I'm quite good at fps games like call of duty which i finished several cod campaigns on hardened difficulty. Thanks.

[PC] Good or best MMO to play in 2025

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! So as the title states I’m wonder what MMO I should play in 2025! I’ll start by saying I have played world of Warcraft since the original burning crusade and I have really really enjoyed the game obviously as I have played it for that long! But now I’m looking for a different mmo to sink time into! What I really look for and like in these games is 1)class variety(being able to play/level different classes to play when bored of one) 2) class “fun” factor how fun the classes are to play themselves, does the rotation mesh well together does the rotation feel satisfying and ability’s look good on screen! 3) open world exploration 4) a great endgame to keep me coming back day after day to play wether is PVP or PVE dungeons raids type stuff I like both 5) crafting/gathering I love to craft and gather in the games so there needs to be a good crafting gather system 6) class/gear progression I like to feel my character getting stronger with every couple levels or new pieces of gear 7) “solo content” meaning having types of in game finders for dungeons PVP battle grounds or raids 8) a great looking game to really hook me into the world. I’m not a huge story person I prefer gameplay over story and I know I’m in the minority of MMO players when I say this but I much prefer the destination over the journey when it comes to leveling and reaching endgame I’m a father with full time job so I don’t want to spend ages on ages leveling like classic wow I enjoy a good level process but like reaching endgame where the grind begins type deal! I’ve been looking at FFxiv online elder scrolls online new world guild wars 2 destiny 2 warframe any recommendations?

[PC] Should I buy Dwarf Fortress?

7 Upvotes

I'm a huge fan of Rimworld, been playing it for years now. Just got into Caves of Qud which is fucking amazing and probably one of the best "roguelite" games I've ever played.

The new Dwarf Fortress remake struck my interest when it came out, but it's a bit more expensive then I was expecting. With Christmas just passing by a few days ago, I have a few dollars to spend on a new game.

How does it compare to Rimworld and CoQ in terms of depth, replayability, quality and quantity of content, generated story-telling and user experience? Is it really as deep as everyone says it is or do other games overshadow it?

Maybe worth mentioning that the complexity of Dwarf Fortress is a big attractor in my eyes. I love not knowing wtf is going on in my games or only having a surface level understanding so I get thrown curveballs all the time. I heard DF is good for that. I also mainly like building up a town or city and furnishing it, making a lively entertainment and trading place. Rimworld is okay at doing this, but there's a bit too much combat for my liking

[PC] Should I get Borderlands THC?

3 Upvotes

I have been looking at the Borderlands series for a while and have been hesitant to pay full price, as I'm not sure if I would be into it. I adore the art style and enjoy looter shooters (Division, Destiny and reg. shooters like Halo, Helldivers, etc). Is the Pandora's Box Collection worth it for $35? Thanks for the input, also any other (Steam) sale recommendations are appreciated.

[PC] Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077

30 Upvotes

So far I'm planning to buy Skyrim, Terraria and Persona 5 Royal. I want to get cyberpunk since it seems good and my friend has recommended it to me. Thanks to the steam deal it's only £22 and with dlc it's £40. On the other hand, Baldur's Gate is £40, and it seems that everyone loves it. Some people will probably say buy both, but my friend will most likely ask me to get a bunch of games that we can play together, which would stop me from being able to get both games.

Sekiro or Metaphor Refantazio?

2 Upvotes

I’m torn between picking up Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Metaphor: ReFantazio this sale, but I can only afford one right now. I’m hoping to get some advice on which game might be the better pick for me.

For context, here are some games I’ve played and enjoyed: Elden Ring, Black Myth Wukong, Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Persona 3 Portable, and Persona 5. I love a good challenge, unique storytelling, and games with engaging combat or meaningful exploration.

Sekiro’s focus on precise combat and its reputation as a punishing but rewarding experience really intrigues me, especially since I enjoyed Elden Ring. But I also love the JRPG vibe, art style, and depth of storytelling in games like Persona 5, so Metaphor’screative and distinct approach looks equally appealing.

If you’ve played either or both, what would you recommend? Which game do you think offers better value, considering I can only pick one for now?

Thanks in advance for helping me decide!

V Rising or Satisfactory?

2 Upvotes

Honestly just trying to look for a good game to play right now. Right now, I can only really found two games I'm interested in, V-Rising and Satisfactory, so please tell me which one I should get instead.

Also if you have any suggestions it would be great. I like RPGs, action, story and open world games, but have mainly played most of the common ones you're probably thinking of. Thank you in advance.

[PC] I really want something to fill the Overwatch-sized hole in my heart.

Upvotes

Ever since the death of the original Overwatch and the release the update Overwatch 2, I've been really sad since I loved those games. I was also very excited for the PvE mode in Overwatch 2. I'm looking for a game that can fill at least one of those roles. I basically only use Steam. Do you have any recommendations?

For the MOBA style, part, I would like it to have preset characters, and not builds that I have to make myself. For the PvE style game, I love horde-based shooters. It would be preferred if it was team-based, but singleplayer is fine too.

[PC] Which game should i buy during the steam sale?

Upvotes

Im having a hard time picking between these games

●Helldivers 2 ●Diablo4 ●Cyberpunk ●RimWorld

Il gladly take any recommendations that fits with what i like. My favourite games are WoW classic, cod bo6 (any cod), the binding of isaac,League of legends and minecraft. Competitive games are a plus but mostly time sinkers are preferred.

What do you all think? Are these games huge time sinkers? Im open to suggestions. Thank you!

[PC] Good management/sim games?

2 Upvotes

What are the best city simulator or management games? I want to branch out my gaming genres as I mostly play open world RPGs

The thing is, I want something that is somewhat difficult, and it actually makes me think about what I need to do, and provides challenges accordingly. It also should preferably have pretty good graphics.

Some games I’ve looked at Two point hospital (looks good graphically, but is supposedly too easy and the gameplay is quite bland and repetitive?)

Planet coaster (heard this is one of the best games in this genre)

Planet zoo (heard this game isn’t as good as planet coaster and planet games really have lacking management in them apparantly?)

Anno 1800 (this one sounds really good, graphics look stunning, and it sounds like it actually makes you think)

Although, I could never get into games like cities skylines or Jurassic world evolution. Something about Jurassic world evolution seemed too repetitive and cities skylines seemed kinda boring and graphically not great (maybe I didn’t give CS a good chance though)


r/ShouldIbuythisgame 49m ago

[PC] Should I get Sekiro or Ghost of Tsushima?

Upvotes

I just played RDR2 and Elden Ring and loved both of them. Looking for something heavy on both open world and narrative. Elden ring was great, but i feel like I couldn't get as immersed in the narrative as RDR2, so preferably im looking more for a strong narrative. I'm open to suggestions for other games that fit these descriptions too, but im pretty into souls-like right now, and these games are both on sale

[PS5] The Last of Us 2 or Elden Ring?

6 Upvotes

Never played a soulsborne (?) game. I played the last of us 1 and just finished it a week ago, 5/5 story, but the gameplay kinda sucks. Both are currently around the same price, Elden Ring is 35, The last of us 2 is 50. What should i buy? here’s some games i played and liked (in 2024): - God of War 2018 - Spider Man 1-2 and Miles Morales - Star Wars jedi series - The Last of Us 1 I’m open to any recommendations as well, not just ER and TLoU2

Should I buy Path of Exile 2?

12 Upvotes

Played the first one for about 200 hours. Enjoyed it. Never got into the end game. The second one looks amazing. Played for an hour on my nephews account. Enjoyed what I played of it. I know it’s early access so it’s essentially a beta for 6 to 12 months. Should I buy it now or wait til full release?

Ready ot not

3 Upvotes

Hello, I saw a lot of reviews talking good about ready or not, so I thought maybe someone played it. From what I understood, you are SWAT and you are answering to calls w your team and you tactically prepare for it. I was wondering what is replayability of this game and can you sank a solid amount of hours.
