heh one graphic says 75 the other 40

prices show 40 ... doh


edit: now fixed all 40%

 

[Vigilance]

40% here too.

 

[bigace33]

Boooo! 29.99 is still a bit much.

 

[Echoplx]

whatever, just play it after work/school instead of skipping work/school

Don't have work or school.. lol

 

[Shambles]

Oh well, would have bit at 75% off.

 

[desu]

Bah they changed it from 75 to 40 now <.<.

 

[Proc]

dlc worth it? I like civs but never really dove into the scenarios. Are these scenarios interesting?

 

[Detox]

Disappointed with this sale, 40% off it's £18 here when the retail edition has been £14 for ages.

 

[Stop It]

Civ 75% NICE!

Edit, eh front page is saying 75% sidepage thing is saying 40%!?

Well, that was a disappointment.

The front page said 75% yet of course, it's now 40% off. From insta-buy no no buy in a few seconds

 

[jaundicejuice]

Civ V for 30$ isn't all that compelling a deal, I just bought Dawn of Discovery and am playing through Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, so I think my dance card is all filled up.

 

[Aaron]

No pack that includes all the DLC? Nickle and dime garbage. I'm not buying any of it.

 

[Murkas]

Already got Civ5 but never seen the Scenario DLC or what it even entails. Are they worth it at that price? Or is it basically 1 mission and a race chosen for you?

 

[MichaelEM3]

Nearly lost my shit when I saw the 75% on the front page.

@ 40%.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

And on the fourth day, Zoidberg's wallet rested, as there was nothing he wanted to buy on sale.


If I won the 2K games catalog on Steam it would be worthless to me as I already own anything of theirs on the service I would want.

 

[kswiston]

I really hate that a lot of the big PC Strategy franchises are moving away from full fledged expansion packs, and onto BS DLC that adds 1 playable race and a couple scenario maps...

 

[plc268]

dlc worth it? I like civs but never really dove into the scenarios. Are these scenarios interesting?

That's what I'm wondering. I recently got civ 5 for $20, and I might be willing to pay $6 more if the dlc content is compelling and worth the price.

 

[Forkball]

I'd hold off on the Civ V DLC. There's bound to be an expansion at some point with all of that included. Plus the map packs are a rip off since you can just download custom maps that are exactly the same if not better.

 

[SappYoda]

My wallet is safe

 

[nexen]

LAME.

Is this game ever going to be cheap?

 

[MNC]

How much is Civ5 in dollars and pounds during this sale?

 

[kswiston]

LAME.

Is this game ever going to be cheap?

The game is 7 months old. Not everything is going to drop to $5 in 6 months

 

[Nemesis121]

My wallet is safe

My wallet was safe from the start, because i didn't want any of those games...

 

[Detox]

How much is Civ5 in dollars and pounds during this sale?

$29.99 in the US store and £17.99 in the UK. If you're in the UK you can get it for £13.99 retail and it is a steamworks game.

 

[Firebrand]

Yeah, that was a bit of a weak sale. Still tempted to pick up the Polynesia and Inca/Spain packs though.

 

[Sarcasm]

Disappointed by the Civ 5 sale.

 

[erpg]

Will buy the Polynesia pack, own the rest.

 

[Firebrand]

I'd hold off on the Civ V DLC. There's bound to be an expansion at some point with all of that included.

I doubt they'll include them in an expansion, since they're already in the GotY edition.

I'd really like an expansion though.

 

[Sarcasm]

I'd really like an expansion though.

Where is this GOTY?

 

[Double]

Thanks Silux!

 

[kamspy]

Fucking Civ5. Might as well put a bag of shit on sale.

 

[Cheech]

Civ V was worth every penny of the $59.99 I spent on the Deluxe edition. Got my money's worth many, many times over.

It's a Civ game, so it's not exactly a risky proposition. I'll still be playing it in 2013.

Guessing the game did very, VERY well judging by the complete lack of insane sales throughout the time it's been on the market. Which is good, and deserved for the developer.

 

[Firebrand]

Where is this GOTY?

Only seen it on German Amazon.de (link) so far, I assume it'll be released elsewhere eventually. EDIT: Australia

 

[erpg]

Fucking Civ5. Might as well put a bag of shit on sale.

Opinions are like assholes. It's just that you're on a curry diet.

 

[Relax.MX]

I dont care, I have no money plus I made a promise that I will not buy civ again ...makes me lose the notion of time and the last time I played Civ4 lost a very important personal event. What was the worst thing? I knew it was late, but I wanted one more turn! again and again...

Civ is like a drug

CIV 5 at this price is worth every penny

 

[Vyer]

Wait, so there's a bad Civ game?

Was still considering even at 30, but....

 

[Nabs]

Splinter Cell | Double Agent | Chaos Theory | Conviction | Insurgency Pack - $25.98 (You save: $38.97)

 

[erpg]

Well, you can either trust review sites and the Civ V OT, or listen to kamspy, who doesn't own it. Your call.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

4 pack of borderlands is still up for cheap if anyone still wants to jump on it.

 

[kamspy]

Well, you can either trust review sites and the Civ V OT, or listen to kamspy, who doesn't own it. Your call.

I played the demo! I dunno. I guess I'll explain it. It seemed like a regression in almost every way to Civ4.

 

[Salsa]

Lame. Civ V was 20 bucks on green man gaming last week.

 

[Blizzard]

Fucking Civ5. Might as well put a bag of shit on sale.

I bought Civ 5 with the prerelease sale price and did not regret it. Granted I only finished one game, but that's more than I've ever done with any previous Civ game. I thought it was pretty polished, addictive, and well done. I'm not a fan of DLC add-ons but eh.

Haven't they done some patches? Surely those patches haven't made things worse, right?

Lame. Civ V was 20 bucks on green man gaming last week.

Why didn't you buy it then? Or are you just saying Steam should have tried to negotiate a cheaper price?

 

[jaundicejuice]

Splinter Cell | Double Agent | Chaos Theory | Conviction | Insurgency Pack - $25.98 (You save: $38.97)

Hmmm, and Ubisoft dropped their horrendous DRM recently too. I think I might buy this.

Just bought it. Screw the Civ5 sale (even if it is a good game, not my style), I'm getting some SC.

 

[2San]

Splinter Cell | Double Agent | Chaos Theory | Conviction | Insurgency Pack - $25.98 (You save: $38.97)

Guess as good time as any to step into the Splinter Cell series.

 

[erpg]

I played the demo! I dunno. I guess I'll explain it. It seemed like a regression in almost every way to Civ4.

It definitely started off as nothing but a dumbing down of the series without any kind of meaningful use of its new additions, like single unit tiles and empire happiness. But then, three months after release the lead design left for Stardock, and the patches have been very comprehensive. The new mechanics put in place actually work and have punishments. The AI's been improving at a pretty rapid pace, and there should be another sizeable patch coming soon. If it were in the same place as the demo, with turn lag and freezing, and easy exploitation of the mechanics, sure. But that's fixed.

 

[leroidys]

I have 150 hours on Civ V and can tell you that its really not a very good game, but it is getting better. I don't know if 30 would be worth it, but you wouldn't be totally throwing your money away at least.

Yeah, that was a bit of a weak sale. Still tempted to pick up the Polynesia and Inca/Spain packs though.

Definitely get spain/inca, polynesia is kind of a toss up. The Civ is cool but the campaign that comes with it is awful.

 

[2San]

So anyone know how to get the original splinter cell to work with a wired 360 controller. :S

 

[ClosingADoor]

Hm, Splinter Cell would be a good deal for me if it was a pack without Double Agent for -60%. Already finished it on 360.

 

[Atomski]

Wait, so there's a bad Civ game?

Was still considering even at 30, but....

I prefer Civ4 so much more. I wish Civ5 would have just been a visual update but the ai and some little things are just to annoying in Civ5. I hear it has been patched but I haven't bothered to reinstall.

 

[keeblerdrow]

I have 150 hours on Civ V and can tell you that its really not a very good game,

Now read that again.

I have 150 hours on Civ V and can tell you that its really not a very good game,

Right, so I'm gonna put it up a third time.
