    It's great. It's been much cheaper before, though.

    Do you render assurance that waiting will be profitable?
  4. Tyjenks Hard Cider Gal

    Yeah, it could be 50% off later, but if you are itching for it and have Thanksgiving holidays ahead of you...
  5. Hanacker Armchair Designer

    Yes, in the long term. No, in the short term.

    Edit: I got the Deluxe Gold edition for $7.49 back in April from Gamersgate.

    There's loads of Steam stuff at 50% that doesn't seem to be shown elsewhere - just from my wishlist:

    GTA 4 (+expansions)
    TW: Shogun 2
    LotR: War in the North
    Dead Island
    WH40K: Space Marine

    Hmmm, I'm seeing The Witcher 2 for $11.99 (60%) off. Might finally be the time to pick this up!

    Ya know, I still don't have AoE III and it is 75% off....now, would I actually play it?

    Also, I think it is time to get the AoW pack at 50% off after skipping it during the last holiday sale.

    Hegemony Gold is -75 %, I've heard a lot of good things about it, so even if RTSes aren't my cup of tea I'll give it a try.

    Zeno Clash is $1. Don't miss your chance to show Father-Mother that stealing babies and replacing them with piglets is wrong!

    I'm debating whether to stick with my plan and put X-COM on the Christmas list, or to say screw it and let Uncle Sam buy it for me.

    How will Uncle Sam buy it for you? I hope you're not going to suggest that the government is giving you their money when they refund the excess taxes you've paid.

    Bit the bullet and finally bought Payday and all those adventure games on GOG.
  16. Pogo Hard Cider Gal

    Still the best city builder game I've played since Settlers 2 or the Tilted Mill games, though it has been on sale for cheaper.

    A couple of Steam deals on second tier action RPGs:

    Cursed Crusade is 80% off at $5.99, cheapest I've seen it yet.
    Garshasp : Monster Slayer and it's expansion are 75% off at $1.25 each.
    The First Templar is 75% off at $4.99

    I own First Templar, and while it's no Witcher it's worth $5 for the story and atmosphere alone. It's not a typical RPG, you can only play with the preset characters and advancement is by choosing to improve certain traits. Still, it's entertaining and the combat is a unique mechanic that I found to be fun.

    I have no experience with Garshasp games or Cursed Crusade, though the latter was on my watchlist so will likely be purchased come the final day of the sale.

    Yes, play both with me. ;)

    Kicking myself for not getting that Settlers 7 on Gamersgate earlier. I had forgotten that Bruce Shelley was involved.
  19. SirTomster Noob

    I like how the Witcher 2 is $11.99. The strategy guide is $7.99. But get them together and they are $23.99.

    Watch out for that.

    Careful; it's a personal rule that I don't buy anything from the Steam sale unless it's a daily deal or a flash deal, until it's the last day of the sale. Never know what might pop up.

    Apparently they only had one copy of that, and it's long gone.

    I agonize over X-com. Picked up Walking Dead, and was about to pull the trigger on X-com, but then thought I should finally download and play Skyrim instead, because I bought that in last year's Christmas sale for $40 knowing that I'd play it before it went lower than that.

    Yeah, right.

    Is RAGE worth $5? For someone who enjoyed Bulletstorm and the Cryses games?
  33. Baker Worked The System

  34. Jamie Madigan Armchair Designer

    Yeah. It's worth $5 to see if it clicks with you. I didn't like it, but others do.
  35. Marcin Hard Cider Gal

    Steam is under such heavy load that it turned Swedish for me. o_O
  36. James Johnson Worked The System

    Is this a metaphor or did the language literally turn to Swedish?
