The Steam Sales Cometh

It's not that bad in retrospect.

I bought games, that I already own on consoles, just because they were so cheap and I could play them on PC.

Y U DO DIS TO ME STEAM?!

Turns you into a fully concious undead being, who doesn't need to eat, sleep or poop. Meaning you can play games 24/7 without forming a massive bloodclot. Nicccce

I like the one off to the side that says -33% :Still too much. All I could think of when I saw that were the Spore and Aliens Colonial Marines deals that keep popping up during the sales

It's kinda funny how the cycle goes. When you first switch from buying console games to buying Steam sale games you think "$15 for a AAA game from two years ago? Wow!"

Then after a few years you start saying things like "$7.50 for a AAA game that released last year? I'll wait 'til it's $5."

The alpha for Dinosaur Zombie wasn't that bad. I heard for the next update they're adding in Nazi Raptors. :3

Lol, yeah.. I spent an hour debating if I should pick up Skyrim: Legendary edition at -%60 or hold out for a flash sale that might get me -%80. Years ago I would have jumped immediately for the chance to get a great game for $14, pretty silly I almost risked it just to save another 4 or 5 bucks.

Why isn't there a modern Marble Madness? If I have to put up with a dumb cops/robbers theme, that's fine with me.

My deliberations on that were worse since I already own Skyrim and have played like 140 hours. I really want to re-roll a new character and play through the DLC, but I can't wrap my head around the DLC pricing. The cheapest way to get it would be to actually buy the Legendary version. I guess I'd have a copy of Skyrim to gift to someone then, but it just feels so wrong to buy the base game twice.

Now, if it was $10. Well, that's a no-brainer now. Somehow. I think I made the wrong decision.

Of course, my pain is eleviated a bit by the fact that I did actually buy like 200 hours worth of stuff during the sale, and have like 500 hours of stuff in my library. I just started playing Europa Universalis 4 and haven't even touched the Crusader Kings 2 DLCs I own (after 100+ hours in the base game).

Well, game reviews are TEH BIAS, but numbers (especially percentage signs) don't lie.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

The minus sign and the percentage sign manipulate the heats and souls of mortal men (and women).

Last week:

"Marble Madness: Hardline looks pretty interesting though."

This week:

"Marble Madness: Hardline looks pretty interesting though."

I can't tell if there was a formatting goof or if that's the joke. xD

Then you make another reassessment when you realize its just some early access shit.

 

[Sande45]

1. Set the price aside for a second. Do you actually want to play this game?
2. Profit

One day 1$ is still not low enough.

I hear they're putting a lot of work into the sequel. I'm waiting until its out so I can have both at the same time!

How many of the games on sale do you own from previous sales?


Be honest...
