Not sure how good of a deal this is but I know a lot of you play this-Football Manager 2020 is 45% off or about $27.50 at Fanatical for the next 40 hours or so.

[bhlloy]

I don't know how much replayability there is once the campaign is done, but I'm having a ton of fun with Planet Hospital right now. The blend of strategy combined with as hands on as you like to get with your patients diagnosis and treatment is unique and an absolute blast.

[Thomkal]

In Honor of Star Wars Day, Steam has the "Complete" Collection of Star Wars games on sale for about $75, normally almost $300.

Maybe Two Point Hospital?

I believe it's project hospital, which does focus on diagnosis and realistic hospital building. Two-Point is more tongue in cheek.

[Thomkal]

Steam having a sale on a ton of indie games of all sorts-bound to be something you'd like in there:

Project Hospital, yeah sorry guys. Two point is basically a ThemeHospital clone with new graphics, fun for a while but a very different game.

Still having a lot of fun with Project Hospital btw. It’s a time sink for me right now.

Thanks for posting - I'm pretty excited about this one.

[SlyBelle1]

Have I seen correctly that SM Baseball 3 price will be in the range of $45 this year? If so, might be a little more than I am willing to pay based on how much I played the other versions.

I would have thought that by now CF, you would check to see if I (or anyone) had posted about a free game

[CrimsonFox]

I would have thought by now that I just MIGHT be aware of a deal that you were unaware of. That is a foolish thing to think. YOu are the king of games. and you win the contest.

Forgive me if someone posted this already, but Terraria has been getting a bit of a buzz this week. They have released what they said is the last major content update for the game: Journey's End. Ton of changes, a new bestiary menu that will update with more accurate info on mobs with the more you kill including what they drop, new monsters, bosses, and a master mode for those Terraria experts out there.

All I ever wanted from that game is to build my hotel (or maybe it's an airbnb) with the top floor bathtubroom with open skylight.

Any Humble Bundle Choice subcribers out there looking to offload a X-COM 2 Steam Key?

Yes, you can have mine.

If anyone wants items from the bundle, you're welcome to mine if it's available. I doubt I'll use them, so someone might as well enjoy.

Do you need to beat the first one before playing the sequel?

I haven't finished the first one, and just played the intro for the second one to get a feel for that question, and I can tell you that you will definitely be spoiled by basically being told how the first one could have ended. I stop playing the second one because I didn't want to be spoiled any more than that. But you are not restricted on playing the second one if you've not finished the first if that's what you are asking.

Crucible, the new free to play shooter from Amazon Studios is now available on Steam for North American players

[Arles]

Two questions, has anyone played Monster Train? It looks right up my alley and is on sale:

Save 10% on Monster Train on Steam

Also, I keep getting a game called Tabletop Simulator promoted. What is it? Does anyone have it? It looks like it allows you to play some boardgames online?

[tarcone]

Tabletop Simulator is a forum to play actual board games. But digitally. The board games are true to the rules of those board games, but takes away the set up and things within the game that may be tedious.

XCom:Chimera Squad is $9.19 at Fanatical

I'm playing. It's my life long drug it seems.

Let me know if you need somewhere to play. I am in a pretty active guild on Proudmoore that has a Horde guild on Area 52 that's pretty active. Both guilds are still actively raiding.

So Minecraft Dungeons is available at some point today either on X Box Game Pass or the Microsoft Store for $20. I got in the beta (thanks Spleen!) that lets you play through the first couple zones and it certainly has the Minecraft feel in its graphics, monsters, loot, etc.

As you level up you get the ability to place enchantments (another Minecraft staple) on your gear, some of which are pretty nice or wild. There are boss mobs to fight which can be a challenge. Look for secrets and chests in a zone to get additional stuff/secret levels or dungeons. In between zones, there is a base/village to sell and store stuff in

Combat reminds me somewhat of Diablo where masses of mobs rush your position at time, but I found the combat one of the easiest to control/use of all games of this sort, which was a relief-a lot of it was just point in the direction of the mobs and fire/fight with your mouse. The main goal seems to be to find out the fate of the "Illagers" that disappear or are taken from the tutorial village you start in-not sure where the story goes after that.

The one thing I found lacking was that there is no crafting (at least in early levels) that comes from a game that relies so heavily on it

I certainly think its worth a try especially if you can play it for "free" on the Game Pass.

I'm still playing WoW, mostly just grinding gold to pay for the subscription at weird hours

[CrimsonFox]

I never understoofd the conept of "grinding gold". I haven't played in yeas but still have my 82nd level Tauren Druid

Made a whole Tauren family :

But I was just thinking off playing for free.

Now I realize that's probably not really possible. THey give you so many expereince points for doing nothing. I'm already level 8 Haven't even made it into the city yet.

[spleen1015]

You have 120 levels and Vanilla plus 7 expansions. You can't level in all of them on your way to 120. It would take forever. Leveling is designed to take a certain amount of time. That time is spread throughout all of that.

Also, there is double XP right now until the next expansion pre-patch. So, leveling is really fast right now.

[CrimsonFox]

wait what? 120 levels?

[spleen1015]

There is going to be a level squish with the next expansion and max level will be 60 again.

[CrimsonFox]

um....so i can pl,ay for free?

[spleen1015]

You can play for free if you buy a WoW token with gold. You can use the token for 1 month of game time.

Tokens have been around 107k-109k recently.

Humble Bundle has a Cities Skyline Bundle-get the base game for a $1 and 4 DLC for $8. $18 for 6 more:

Carcassonne - Finally played it some tonight after never playing it before.

Got the hang of the game. Have a decent lead on the AI only for them to win with 74 points from fields at the end to beat me by 1 point.

74 points just from fields! Still trying to figure that out.
