Gaah. Dead State only hit -50% off on GOG.

Why did you do this to me, Double Bear.


Anyways, buy Age of Wonders 3 it's the best game on sale right now, bar none; 4X fantasy goodness of the highest calibre.

Would you recommend getting the deluxe edition/dlc for AoW3 or is the base game sufficient?

Edit: Thats what I get for not refreshing

 

[The Omega Man]

Shovel Knight 33% off, is this the lowest it can go or should I wait for a possible 75%~50%off?

 

[KarmaCow]

I wasn't sure, I saw it under the metroidvania tag when I checked to see what I missed but that tag is a mess. Most of what's listed doesn't fit the genre at all.

Metroidvania is the Dark Souls of genres.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Life is Strange bought!

But now I only have $25 in my steam wallet so Dark Souls 2 SotFS better go cheaper so that I have enough for another 1 or 2 cheap games.

 

[Madrugador]

Rayman Origins is $2.49 right now. Everyone should have it.

[Durante]

Is the base game enough, or should I get the expansions as well?

The expansions are great, but the base game already has a ton of content.

It probably depends on whether you want to play the campaign or custom scenarios/MP. If the former, just the base game is enough at first, you can still get the expansions later.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Shovel Knight 33% off, is this the lowest it can go or should I wait for a possible 75%~50%off?

Since its a daily that will be the lowest it will go for this sale.

not gonna see those later numbers until another sale (maybe 2 or 3)

 

[Archaix]

Metroidvania is the Dark Souls of genres.

Well...I did just have a discussion with a friend recently about how Dark Souls satisfies a lot of what I want out of a Metroid game.

 

[Alo81]

Anyone wanna go in half on Abyss Odyssey bundle?

With tax, it'll total to $4.51.

PM me if interested.

For the new page.

 

[AndyMoogle]

The expansions are really good, particularly Eternal Lords. They both add all sorts of new stuff to the game; a new campaign, race, units, systems, and items, with EL adding two races and a new class - all aspects of the game are improved!

Though I will say that the Deluxe DLC is more for the soundtrack than anything. AoW3's music doesn't do much for me, so I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. That said, grabbing all three DLCs in the bundle would be cheaper than just avoiding the Deluxe DLC, according to the prices I see anyways.

Yeah, buying the Collection is cheaper than getting the base game + 2 expansions. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow unless there are some crazy good daily deals tomorrow.

 

[The Omega Man]

lowest it will go for this sale.

not gonna see those later numbers until another sale (maybe 2 or 3)

I'll buy it then, thanks

 

[JimJamJones]

Finally, Dying Light! May also have to double dip on Shovel Knight.

Is Dying Light worth the current price (~$45), or should I wait for it to drop further in price eventually?

EDIT: Whoops, just saw the IndieGala price. I'm getting it there.

 

[unrealist]

Is AOW3 more of Civ series or more of the HoMM series?

 

[Moobabe]

Life is Strange is an odd deal. The picture says episode 3 is 50% off, the store page says episode 1 is 50% off and the series is only 20%? What a downer!

 

[Durante]

Is AOW3 more of Civ series or more of the HoMM series?

Hmm.

It's pretty close to 50/50 I'd argue. It has battles you control, like HoMM (quite a bit more interesting actually strategically IMHO, especially city sieges). But it also has the ability to actually found cities on the map and build roads like in Civ, as well as research etc.

 

[Nabs]

Ori is a steal @ 40% off. It's a really good game, and one of my favorites this year.

 

[shmoglish]

Ori down to 11,99? Of course I buy it.

 

[DocSeuss]

Guys, don't buckle to the pressure and wait for your game of choice to become a daily/flash/whatever.

My game of choice became a daily that wasn't discounted any more than its weekly price.

 

[NoPiece]

Picked up grid Autosport. For those that have given it a good go how is it?

How's Grid for 10€?

Need a racer to keep me busy before Forza6 and PjCars didn't do nothing for me :/

I really liked it. Not quite a sim, but handling feels plausible. But what I think it does best is the on track racing with other cars - really fun. It has a jank cockpit mode, but I didn't mind it, and it is a big improvement from having nothing like Grid 2.

 

[T.O.P]

Ori is an absolute must

 

[Gr8one]

Damn, Age of Wonders 3 is a good price. Best value per dollar by far. I already have 300+ hours in it. Even if people don't bite on the expansions the base game is really really good.

Lots of good games today with shitty discounts though (before anyone jumps on me I have FTL). I'm going to spend today debating picking up Life is Strange Complete Season even though its only 20% discount I really want to play it, maybe Dead State too...

 

[Punchpudding]

I want rayman pretty bad but have had really bad experiences with uplay... has it improved recently? is it tolerable?

 

[Dion Blaster]

Is Jazzpunk kind of like 30 Flights of Loving? I loved that game

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Could you name the other Metroidanias that are better? I know there's Ori and Outland... anything else I should be looking for?

Guacamelee, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Batman: Blackgate HD, heck even Steamworld Dig is sort of a Metroidvania which i had more fun with than Strider. That doesn't means strider is bad, it's just not the best option available. Axiom Verge is considered by many one of the best Metroidvanias out there right now so there's that too.

I want rayman pretty bad but have had really bad experiences with uplay... has it improved recently? is it tolerable?

Origins has no Uplay, Legends i believe does. Both games are great and Uplay is much better these days.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Is Jazzpunk kind of like 30 Flights of Loving? I loved that game

Jazzpunk is delight and hilarity in game form.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

There's still a couple days left before the encore but I'm surprised at no Resident Evil sale yet.

 

[Danthrax]

First time seeing or hearing of 'Freedom Planet'.

No kidding. I first checked out its Steam page when it was unlocked during the monster game yesterday, and I was like, damn, this is kind of like a Sonic clone, but a good one.

 

[cyba89]

There's still a couple days left before the encore but I'm surprised at no Resident Evil sale yet.

It will get a sale.
Resident Evil has a franchise deal page up: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/resident-evil

 

[Tizoc]

Come on people there were other platformers on the Genesis besides the Sonic trilogy :/
There was Rocket Knight!

Of which Lilac is based on along with Sonic.

If you're of a mind to, give this a listen. https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/2014-king-of-years (Skip to 14-minutes or so.) Fraser Brown giving his thoughts on Distant Worlds: Universe during TMA's GOTY show from a few months ago.

Larry Monte has a pretty decent tutorial style series on the game. It has a lot of moving parts, but you can pretty much let AI run most of them and get into it one system at a time.

Thanks for pointing these out.

Dying Light at 25%?

Lol, no. Everyone looking for a REAL discount on this game should buy it here: https://www.indiegala.com/store/product/239140

That site pretty legit? Do they just mail you a Steam key then?

Thanks.

 

[Se7enSword]

I asked for Ori and Dying Light since the beginning of the sale. Now that day is here and the Dying Light discount is bullshit.

As someone mentioned a few pages back, Indiegala has it for 50% off

https://www.indiegala.com/store/product/239140

That site pretty legit? Do they just mail you a Steam key then?

Thanks.

Yes, it is legitimate.

 

[unrealist]

Can the heroes in AOW3 be of any use or get really powerful?

I like HoMM4 for the reason of useful heroes .. even powerful enough to take on late tier creatures with right skills and items.

 

[rainking187]

Neverending Nightmares is still a little more then I want to spend, but Rayman Legends is pretty tempting, it doesn't go that low that often anymore.

 

[LizardKing]

Guys don't forget that Rayman Legends includes Rayman Origins. (Legends uses Uplay, not sure about Origins)

Ok, so I'm gonna get Age of Wonders 3, should I get any of the expansions? What do they add?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

It will get a sale.
Resident Evil has a franchise deal page up: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/resident-evil

I have no choice but to wait and hope for RE5 DLC at a good price, and probably Revelations 2. Thanks for the heads up.

[ryushe]

Ugh, I was really hoping Life is Strange was cheaper. Might still bite.

Yeah... I knew about that one yesterday. I was hoping the daily would beat that price.

 

[Anilusion]

Ori and Shovel Knight are mine!

 

[Rnr1224]

Wish Life is strange was cheaper through steam. Also really tempted to pick up Ori. Seems like a good price for a great game as I've heard.

Kinda. You can unlock the levels and they got
all the legends improvements

 

[Tizoc]

Sort of, it has a bunch of levels from Origins but not all of them far as I canr ecall.

 

[Violence Jack]

Still wondering if I should jump in for Shovel Knight at this price, or wait to see if it ever comes to PS plus one month. Same thing with Ori since I won't be able to play them right away.

 

[NoPiece]

Life is Strange is totally worth it. Really good game and deserves support so we get more like it!
