Can't wait to load up on Playstation ports. I'm thinking of starting with Detroit Become Human, and then God of War. These have been on my wishlist a while but playing on the PC hasn't been convenient lately.

 

[ACESHIGH]

I am gonna sodomize my wallet.

 

[Warnen]

Gamepass or steam sale....


Let the battle for my pennies begin!

 

[newtypepilot]

the past couple of steam sales have been meh so I don't have much expectations tbh.

 

[wvnative]

I really wish KH was on steam

 

[Fahdis]

I've made it a ritual to buy a franchise outright every Steam Sale and some other games for $100, but that's all I intend to spend.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

hoping arkham games are going for €1 or si.

 

[baphomet]

steam sales almost always suck these days.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm prepared to be underwhelmed.

 

[pqueue]

looking forward to the Green man gaming and CDKeys sales as well.

 

[BadBurger]

Most of my wishlist is indie games and AA games from a few years back, the kinds that tend to see the steepest discounts, so I am hoping I'll be able to clean up this year.

 

[Graciaus]

Good I need to restock. Got about 250 sitting there waiting.

 

[kraspkibble]

just buy it on Epic only difference is which program you need to click to launch it.

 

[The_Mike]

Haven't cared about the sale since they changed it.

Now sales are boring and the good games are hidden. Before with the flash sales all kinds of games went into the spotlight.

Now steam wants to let me search their whole catalogue for something I maybe want instead of them showing it to me.

 

[GymWolf]

Do you remember the last time that steam deals were the shit? i member.

When flash sales were still a thing?

Nice. What will be your chosen set this time around?

 

[GymWolf]

pretty much, but even the normal discount are less appealing, you always find a better price in another place.

 

[Wildebeest]

If anyone wants to warm up, the gog discount on Panzer Dragoon is an immoral 90%.

[Aure]

I will probably be underwhelmed, as per usual. Still, i'm looking forward to it.
Would love a nice discount on Mafia Remate, God Of War, Heavy Rain, Beyond and Detroid, i want to replay these last three games again.

Read that as battle for your penis

 

[Graciaus]

But they don't let you refund if you don't like it. Paying a little more is better then getting completely burned.

Sure but sometimes the price difference is substantial.

 

[Rentahamster]

Metaphorically, I hope.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Wait, what are the hidden badges before the sale?

 

[fermcr]

Meh.

Gone are the days that Steam sales were actually good.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Key sellers may have better prices but you can’t use Microsoft Rewards to score the games for free.

You can do that with Steam.

Not everyone lives in a world where Microsoft rewards exist.

 

[Fahdis]

Nice. What will be your chosen set this time around?

I'm thinking of buying the Dark Souls series and since Ninja Gaiden is already in a collection, that as well. I think this year I'll buy DLC for all the games I'm missing them for instead of buying outside of the games I've already mentioned . Although I am American, I have dual citizenship with Pakistan, so games for me are literally quarter the price of what Americans pay.

 

[T-Cake]

Is that an American thing only? I don't see an option to exchange for Steam in the UK or else I'd be all over it!

 

[spons]

These sales aren't even good anymore. Check something like gg.deals or another website if you value your money. That's basically steam sales 24/7. Make sure to switch off key stores on that site though, and stick with official resellers.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Well for those that do, it’s why slightly better third party site prices don’t matter.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You need to redeem for a digital Amazon card.
Then you redeem for a GameStop card, which I’m guessing are US only. Not sure what stores are available to you that sell Steam cards, but that’s the path.

I have ethics

 

[.Pennywise]

They are hidden

 

[TintoConCasera]

Kinda scared since there are 82 games on my wishlist.

Cool! Always wanted to try those games... are the remakes a good entry point? Somehow I feel I should play the Saturn games first, they look pretty cool with their atmosphere, which I'm not sure the remake is able to replicate.

 

[Guilty_AI]

What i wanted was already on sale anyway so .

I've made it a ritual to buy a franchise outright every Steam Sale and some other games for $100, but that's all I intend to spend.

Right now, you can buy the entire DMC series (not counting the black sheep from 2013) for $30

 

[Celcius]

I'll probably pick up Final Fantasy 12 and maybe more DLC for Tales of Arise...

 

[CuNi]

I really wish KH was on steam

I wish so too, but if they keep the same price policy as with FF7 Remake then honestly, they might as well skip it.

I mean look at it. How generous of them to offer it to us for 57€ instead of 80€....

Spoiler: genuine reaction

I'm not your dad so do what you want. The remake works fine on PC, and you've had 25 years to play the Saturn version, so you can't be that keen on playing the fully authentic original. This is the only remake that is out, I think, so you could see it as a demo to see if you want to go deeper. Or you could just play Rez Infinite instead, since Rez is basically a smoother Panzer Dragoon experience.

Yeah, in my experience I'm always finding really great deals on Steam - both in and out of traditional sale periods. But I buy/play lots of "off the beaten path" games. Most people complaining must have really narrow taste in games imho.

 

[Fahdis]

Humble did a $20 sale for the whole thing just a week ago (minus DMC4). Other deals can always be better. But thank you anyway .

Update: It's still ongoing!

Capcom Bundle

 

[Kataploom]

Meh.

Gone are the days that Steam sales were actually good.

The market responded, it was not sustainable in the long run... Also, I think sales are good most of the time, even out of sales period

 

[amigastar]

Probably gonna look into TWW1 and 2 if the price is good i'm gonna buy it.

 

[TVexperto]

you can go to www.steamdb.info and connect your steam wishlist to there and it will show you only games on your wishlist that that have a new historical low or match the last historical low

 

[Pejo]

Man, in getting ready for this sale, I'm coming to realize that it might be time to clean up my wishlist. There are a LOT of games on there now that I wouldn't buy anymore, things I wishlisted since like 2013 that I still haven't bought, etc. I might be a litlte too liberal with that "add to wishlist" button.

 

[AJUMP23]

Who is that Steamy girl trying to sell me games?

 

[Ozriel]

Dropped off Pc gaming for a while, but my SteamDeck’s dragged me back in. Looking forward to some nice deals

 

[Pejo]

Bros, I miss daily deals like you wouldn't believe....

This badge shit is usually just a lot of work for not much payoff. I realize that the refund system pretty much killed any daily/flash sales, but Steam sales just aren't the same as they used to be. I don't think gaben.tv even works anymore.

Is this what getting old feels like...
