Buying fingers at the ready

Not expecting any huge discounts on Civ: BE, Borderlands pre sequel or Elite (ha! There'd be optimism).

BUT WILL BE CHECKING.

Actually, tell a lie, it's about time for the first two to be knocked down to £7-10.

I wouldn't bother with Borderlands TPS unless it was cheaper than that

Major disappointment compared to #1 and #2, save your pennies and wait for the inevitable #3

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Here's hoping for GTA5 half price. Not likely though

 

[mrs quoad]

And *bang.*

Just like that, steam went down

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Fucking swizz. Same price but with other stuff that I don't want thrown in so they can call it 25% off

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Innit. "GTA V, 75% off" ... except it's actually GTA IV bundled with the DLC that is 75% off, not GTA V at all.

 

[treelover]

Annual steam sales have increasingly been rather disappointing.

I do hope Wolfenstein New Order comes down below a tenner though, it is staying stubbornly high given its age.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Don't Starve is 75% off. Anyone who doesn't own that should get it, really is one of my favourite games of all time

 

[DotCommunist]

anything vaugley good and cheap from 3 years ago that my system will play? (intel 4400 onboard graphics).

Thinking FPS games- deus ex types, medieval/historical fps.etc. I can't get on steam atm

All the GTAs are currently on offer. A GTA to suit every graphics card!

Check the specs on Metro? 80% off and, tbh, I absolutely loved it (played well on my mid 2012 / integral gfx MacBook, though that may not be a fair comparison).

The XCOMs are on offer, too. Not fps but a v enjoyable / robust tbs.

E2a: the darkness II is also on offer. One of the first decent FPSes to transfer to Mac, so my fondness for it might be lacking relevant context.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEEN?????

*ahem*

Sorry, as you were.

 

[Artaxerxes]

No badges just for voting this year? Ah well, guess I won't miss the 50p or so from it.

Will look for MS Flight Sim for 75% off or so but other than that not to fussed about what to get.

X-Plane 10 is 50% off at the moment. I downloaded the demo and managed to drive right through the airport buildings a few times...

 

[Artaxerxes]

Still 22 quid though, they had the MS one for like £3 the other day.

Or might rebuy one of the Sturmoviks

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Portal 2 for less than four quid. Definitely worth it if you don't already have it.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Papers, Please £2.09. Add on the crisps I had for my dinner and that's almost three whole pounds I've spent today

 

[mrs quoad]

Plenty more "fuck all tempting" today

Good for the bank balance, at least

Good luck! I found it mind-fuckingly boring. I think it was one of those turning points in my gaming career, wherein I finally twigged that I really don't like repetitive games with shit graphics, even when they're both indie AND massively discounted.

May your experience of it be better than mine

 

[Chemical needs]

Last night I got Metro 2033, miami hotline and Another World for under a tenner.

 

[Chemical needs]

... was hoping for some more exciting bargains but still pleased...

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Democracy 3 for less than a fiver and War of Mine for £6. Not bad, but I'll decide tomorrow. I may buy a new hat off eBay instead

 

[treelover]

Damn, Wolfenstein New Order, now 8.74, just paid 13.00 for it, though mine is dvd including Doom beta.

 

[Chemical needs]

Yeah I just bought that and am now regretting not having my i5 processor overclocked/ getting a motherboard that supports overclocking when i bought my pc last year... Unless a hefty GPU upgrade would be enough? :/ (Not that I was planning on that any time soon...)

 

[Chemical needs]

Hmmm... One review says it runs well on medium spec hardware... my graphics card probably needs updating to be medium spec will see...

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Picked up GRID2 for a fiver since it actually runs on Mac (allegedly, we'll see how good it is later).

 

[The Boy]

This War of Mine, Don't Starve and Metro 2033.

Might wean me off Dota 2 for a bit.

 

[mrs quoad]

Borderlands and CivBE 50% off. Meh. With the season pass, that'd bring borderlands up to £34. Meh meh meh.

Elite 10% off. £38. Yeah. More tempting than full whack. Not there though.

E2a: ah. I see these are full duration summer sale discounts. Which leaves me rather more hopeful that they'll see proper discounts soon.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Oooh, Besiege ten whole percent off. Again.

 

[mrs quoad]

£18 for the new borderlands plus season pass...

That's nudging towards tempting. Though, tbf, I do know it'll go lower later this year AND I've got no time for desktop gaming atm.

Head heart head heart head heart.....

 

[tommers]

Valkyria chronicles. 3.79. Bargain.
