Ugh, is it wrong that I just spent €5.50 on five games, less because I'm dying to play them and more to get them off my goddamn wishlist?

(I'm aware I could have just removed them, but then how would I remember that I kinda sorta vaguely wanted them at some stage?)

I've already bought too much this sale, so I'm now just using my wishlist as a cooling off mechanism. On to the wishlist, come back to it later, if I still want it I might buy it.

Bastard sales. Of the 10+ games I've bought so far I'll finish maybe 2.

Captain Chaos

Dam you GabeN. I said to myself I was not even going to look at the sales this year but so far I have bought 8 games and spent €83 in the process and 6 of those games were indies .

Varik

Space engineer is the only thing I'm looking at right now, but it's over by the time I get home to look into it properly.

So I can buy it off my phone now but not sure if I should and can't research it. Any opinions on the game?

CastorTroy

What type of game is To The Moon? I read it was made by RPG Maker, but watching the trailer it doesn't exactly look like a JRPG since there are no fights. I ask because you've got me interested now but I'm not a JRPG fan. So I guess is it all about the story and interactions and that's all it takes from RPGs or are there somehow fights involved?

Made with RPG Maker, but it's 95% point and click story and 5% easy puzzles, with a tiny action sequence near the end. The whole thing is 3.5 hours long - I finished it in 2 sittings.

Skerries

I went to look at it and Steam told me it was already in my account so might try it if it is not a jrpg so

Hmm, this RPG Maker seems very interesting. Off to the Game Dev forum with me on yet another quest

Many years since I fiddled with it, so it may well have changed, but it was very limited. It was basically only useful for creating 90s style JRPGs with little room for customizing anything bar sprites and tile sets. Naturally, I expect it has progressed in the last few years (possibly a decade!), but I mean... there's Unity, so surely it's redundant anyway!

So the best type then?

RPG Maker was one of the humble bundles at one stage or another, I've yet to actually launch it's an excellent piece of software all the same.

Ikaruga is in the community vote. even though I have it on gamecube, I would happily get that. But since it's up aginst Battlefront 2 and Dark Souls, it probably won't win since we know from previous years that a game can be on offer multiple times yet still win the community vote over a game that hasn't been on offer.
So either it goes in a flash sale at some point or I just buy at the end

I voted for Ikaruga, but to be fair, what you've described above applies to both bundles equally. Super Meat Boy and Hotline Miami are 2 of the most frequently discounted games in Steam history.

Varik

First purchase this sale, got space engineer.

MadYaker

Hmmm..... Car Mechanic Simulator 2014

ShadowHearth

I got space engineer. My buddy had it for ages, but have not played in months. So we both decided to jump in and try out survival.

ITS AWESOME! Its like Minecraft, but you can actually build spaceships and complex production lines. Me and buddy planing on starting it from a scratch and do our own spaceships and station later.

Sign I've done too much work: I read that as "The Banana Saga".

Yeti Beast

Bundle Stars' Aftershock bundle is only €2.59, and will save you a few quid on games already on Steam sale (System Shock 2 e.g.).

Honestly not worth any money. It's not a game and it's not a sim. It's more of a 'tick things off a list' simulator.

You get told to replace a part in simple engine. You take things off in order (not complicated at all, even remotely) and then put things back on in reverse. That's it. No time management, no money management. No diagnosing of problems no nothing.

Tis a shame actually as there's definitely a niche there.

Yeti Beast

Oh dear. Several wishlist items up on sale today....

Nody

Well Dishonored at that price would be rude not to pick up...

Links234

If you don't have Dishonored, get Dishonored. No excuses

Also, Banished is pretty damn amazing

Raphael

Was hoping/dreading that Banished would be on a sale around 5pm tomorrow, as that's when the paycheck hits.

Links234

It'll still be on sale tomorrow, dailies last for 48 hours

MadYaker

I almost bought dishonored but then I realised I already own it

Raphael

Oh, I know, that was my point. Sorry, looiking back it was really unclear.

Manach

So far, I've not succumb to the sirens of steam this sale ... but Rome TW2 doth beguile me...

gazzamc

Dishonored GOTY is a joke of a price... Should be 75% off.. Half the DLC is worthless..

I think ill pass..

Overheal

After swearing off Splinter Cell since Double Agent didn't seem to suit my style* why, WHY did I buy Blacklist? I still haven't even played Conviction. WHEN DID I BUY CONVICTION?!

*It forced me to kill someone, but according to the internet I could have deliberately missed. Ah. Killing is ugly. Stealth all the way mother****er

Hugely annoys me when the DLC is discounted by considerably less than the main game. It's actually cheaper for me to buy the GOTY version of Dishonored (66% off) than it is to just pick up the DLC (50% off).

The DLC is like a whole new game, well worth it. But it looks as if the price hasn't updated or something?

Same story with Skyrim, buying the legendary edition when I already have the main game and hearthstone

iamanengine

I already own Dishonored on PS3 why I am desperately wanting to buy it now! Steam I foresake thee...

Skyrim at 66% off I get as its countless hours but I dont believe this game is good enough (or its DLC) to not be at 75% off now.. The game is old now and DLC is a year old..

Btw I have already played and beaten the game...

Maybe but there's been a few threads on the forum already asking if this is the case with no answer.

Yeah, if you at least got an extra copy of the game that would be something.

I don't normally make images, but this was my reaction to the latest flash deals.

Edit: And I just noticed I included a screen grab of my browser somehow...

Hehe, you searched for "All the troll faces". What are you plotting?

gavmcg92

Just picked up all of the Assassin's creed games except for black flag. First two are now just above 2 euro each. Looking forward to playing the series.

Just picked up 1 & 2, under a fiver for both and I did always want to give them a go

Only played 1 and 2 on the xbox so I'm interested to see what the rest of the series is like. Also interested to see how it feels using the K&M.

Yeti Beast

Haven't played any of the AC series either, but I think I'll give them a miss for now.

Oh, and red team is winning again.....

Check out the price for all the dlc over €1200 :eek:

Glebee

DLC for Dishonoured (Knife and witches only) are defo worth it. Maybe not as long as main game but still enjoyable.
