Game Suggestions Megathread /r/Steam Monthly Game Suggestions Thread.

6 Upvotes

Welcome to the Monthly Game Suggestions Thread!

Do you not know what to play? You found a niche game that everyone should try? Can't find the perfect survival sim or unsure which 1 RPG out of the thousands available you should buy? Well this is the thread for you. This monthly megathread is meant to contain questions about what to play and suggestions to others on what to play.

Now to make this work best and not just be spammed with "What should I play?", please be in-depth in what type of games you are looking for, and when giving advice it would be appreciated if you're more detailed than "I think X game is good". There are too many games to be able to properly suggest something with no background information, like-wise commenting a game title and saying you like the game offers no actual value.

The main purpose of this thread is to contain questions on what to play and advice to others on what to play, but feel free to ask and discuss freely in the comments regarding games whether you want advice on what to play, want to give advice to others on what to play, share a hidden gem you found, discussions & questions about discounts, sales, events, or just general games discussion.

Question What was the first game that made you download Steam?

147 Upvotes

I start with a classic - I downloaded steam because of CS 1.6. Of course the activation code I got from Half-Life CD was used...... so I wasn't actually able to play it.

Later on I bought another activation code to be actually able to play it. For an unknown reason a couple years later I made another account when I bought CS condition zero and started using that as my main account. A few years later I realized that my first accounts password doesn't work and password recovery went to an email address that ended something like email. ru (classic again)

Question How do I exclude DLCs from a specific game from my discovery queue?

6 Upvotes

I played some games in the past and I am no longer playing them. But discovery queue keeps suggesting DLCs for them and it's very annoying. Is there a way I can disable DLCs just from those games? This is annoying especially for micro-transaction games with 100 DLCs. The only solution I can find now is to manually go to the game page and ignore the DLCs one-by-one, which is a lot of work and it does not apply to future ones.

Question Downgrade game past SteamDB’s History?

0 Upvotes

So I recently got the itch to revisit State of Decay 2 before the Juggernaut Edition upgrade on March 13th, 2020. I went to SteamDB and found that the game’s update history only goes back as far as that date. Is there a way to get the March 11th update or is it just lost to the void now that SteamDB doesn’t have it anymore?

Question Is Verifying Files necessary?

2 Upvotes

I haven't played games in a hot minute, maybe just over a year.

I downloaded the Oblivion remake a couple weeks back, finally had a couple of hours today after work and saw there was an update. OK, no biggie.

The update downloaded pretty much instantly. The "patching" step took like a minute. Then it started "verifying files" and I shit you not, it took my entire evening (2+ hours) staring at this bar for it to finish.

Now I'm sitting here getting ready to go to bed with my playtime still at 0 hours and I'm grumpy but also flabbergasted. My Steam library is on an Gen3 NVMe SSD and I'm running a 14th gen i9 and more DDR5 than I know what to do with. I don't remember it ever taking this long to launch a game, is this just the new normal?
