Stellaris only 10% off. They're really going for gold with this sale.
Nuclear Throne not on sale. :(

I think I'll probably just get Hiragana Battle (60% off) and call it a day.

Steam pls. This seriously looks like some fake site that steals your credit cards.
 
How's the Just Cause 3 DLC? I've been curious about it but the season pass was always way too expensive. Worth it at 25% off? Not expecting it to drop any further any time soon TBH.
 
Just got the Witcher 3. Are the keyboard + mouse for it any good? Or should I use my dualshock 4 for a better experience

I went KBM the whole way. Depends on what kind of gamer you are. Try out both.

The best thing about KBM is that you don't need to do lock-on to fight wolves and things that jump around, and you don't have to worry about targeting the wrong guy because you can just whip around and smack things. It is easier using spells and stuff with the controller mapping however.

hmm interesting, thx for the info, I'll try them both out later
 
Hey guys I just built a PC a few weeks ago and I've been waiting on the sale to buy something besides Overwatch. I see that there's a NeoGaf group on Steam but it's private. Can someone send me an invite? My steam is the same as my GAF username. Thanks in advance!
 
Yea, no Steam key but Ubi games on steam open Uplay now anyway...so either way you are going through Uplay

Wait, so is there any point of buying a Steam version of a UPlay game if it goes through UPlay anyways? UPlay version of The Division is only $34 vs. the $60 CAD the game is on Steam right now.

What would happen if the UPlay app were to go under or something? Would I be able to still play the game if I got a Steam key or would the game be dead there too?
 
Oh? If it's part of the base game how come they still sell it separately?

I got mine through Uplay, i don't know if its different on Steam, i never purchased Wild Run though, only "The Crew" but when i play the game..The Wild Run content is already in the world and playable and i get a Wild Run splash screen on startup...but Wild Run is still purchasable on Uplay and it says i don't own it.
 
I got logged out. Everything is still crawling. Surely this will be another record setting sale and will lead to the same level of discounts in the future.

What's the link? Steam is pretty glitched at the moment anyway.
 
Bought:

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Hyper Light Drifter
Max Payne 3

Wanted to play The Witcher 3 for over a year now. Finally bought it. Had my eye on Hyper Light Drifter for a long time and the recommendations here convinced me to buy it.
Max Payne 3 I have the disc somewhere around here but I can't find it. And I want another reason to play through it again.

Maybe I buy one or two little things along the line.

I guess...cards maybe or Steam achievements? The couple of games i got through Uplay i added to my non steam games so i run em through Steam.
 
The sale is making enhanced steam cry.

Witcher expansion at full price is still cheaper than the expansions on sale. Meh.

Try here instead.

E; Ignore the link. Link to your Steam profile. Sorry.
 
The download speeds are horrible like 500 kb/s instead of the normal 20 mb/s whilst the store is a snail, why are there no extra servers during sales
 
I keep flip flopping on Fallout 4. 50% is surprising, but then there's probably going to be some GOTY version in the fall or the spring. Plus then there's potentially winter sale being less (or, given Bethesda's track record, maybe costing more?).

I played with kb+m and it felt very good and satisfying. Using a controller will feel somewhat fluid (as usual, 60fps controller feels smoother than 60fps mouse) but kb+m is the way to go.

Try finding a physical copy. Not sure where you're from, but I'm seeing a lot of ~€20 Fallout 4's in my hometown.
 
No Romance XIII sale and Nobunaga is only at 50%, shit. Skyrim DLCs are only at 25% as well. Moreover, about half of my whislist is not on sale. My dreams are crushed in a moment.
 
It was released less than 2 months ago.

I feel like there's definitely still this old guard Steam user mentality that remembers daily deals back from old steam sales where even new games would hit 25-50% off.

Stellaris is worth every penny, its just sad to see the decline of major deals.
