Disappointed in all of the "sales"
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:33:34 pm »

These aren't sales. These are the same items that have been on sale all year long. And for the new items on sale, it's just going to be their new retail price in a month. Wishing we would have sales again.

To be constructive, point out a game that you feel is really on sale that is worth picking up.

I just regret not getting the THQ bundle, but nothing on steam interests me at the moment to be honest.

I was not aware that one could normally buy WH40K: Dawn of War II with all DLCs and expansions for $10. Last I recall, I saw the basic game alone for $40 in a meatspace store. That might just be the difference between digital and physical distribution, but it seems like a large gap.

My thoughts exactly.

There is not much constructive to say. Psychonauts is fully worth the money, sale or not?

I would certainly say the THQ bundle is worth it if there are even a few games in there you want. I mean, that's like. Somewhere around 95% off total? When you add the amount they are off and then the bundle savings?

I think I heard they were having issues, is this like a, "Here! Have our games for free! Fuck whomever buys the rights to them!"?

Well the only thing I'm annoyed about is buying Chaos Rising two days ago when it was on sale only to see the entire DoW franchise go on sale today for twice the amount, meeeeeehhhhhhh.

I'm disappointed that I don't have any money for video games this Christmas.  Oh well, maybe next year.

As for something constructive: Yeah, I understand the fustration when nothing is on sale that you like.  On the bright side, the sales will be going on for a few more days, and maybe something will pop up that you like.

Pro tip: Never buy something at its sale price if that sale price lasts until the end of the sale. If something is 50% off and that deal lasts until Jan. 5th...then there is a good chance it will hit 75% off as a flash sale or daily deal at some point before then.

Well, I already bought Psychonauts on sale. Same with a previous THQ bundle. And the same with Warhammer 40k.

Smugglers 5 or Distant Worlds (without the expansions)?

What Vassal games are your favorite?

I like those sales. Stuff that I have never played.

Blood Bowl is on sale for 5 bucks, but it's not the first time.

EDIT: and Kerbal Space Program is 25% off. not on steam but still.
KSP is a game I'd recommend paying full price for, so I guess I'm recommending it 25% more now.

It is pretty durn good, you can choose the level of autonomy and micromanage as you like and they are still improving it... and adding another DLC... heh.
