maaaaaaaaan, that's not helping like at all
lol
you will be ones suffering if I buy it!

Spoiler

looks awesome

The thing is, there are plenty of things about it that suck, combat being the foremost, but with a good discount it's still totally worth it.

Can you imagine the Internet's collective blue balls if nothing happens at the scheduled time?

Nothing will happen at the scheduled time, because the servers will go kaboom for the first half hour at least.

 

[Monado Blade]

I, on the other hand, was waiting for the summer sale to get Skyrim Legendary. Don't let me down gaben!

 

[-tetsuo-]

I need someone stop me from buying Skyrim if it goes on sale. Can you do this for me?

Don't buy that overrated nonsense. Terrible combat, terrible itemization and loot, terrible level scaling, bad dungeon design, boring ass questing, big ass boring world full of the same shit around every corner, broken ass overpowered crafting and Bethesda continues to nerf game systems. Boo that game.

 

[PixyJunket]

Anyone want to start a Divorce Pool for me?

I'll start. My wife will file for divorce me on...July 24th...

(July 24th will be the day Skyrim Legendary Edition is on sale for 50% off...believe)

On the flipside, my wife gave me a few of her 360 games to add to my trade pile for GameStop to buy Steam Wallet cards so we can both be ready for the sale.

 

[Archie]

DOTA2 and Brave New World are ruining my life.

Spend a lot of money on shiny new games
Play them for half an hour
Go back to Doto/Civ/TF2

It happens every single sale.

Being slightly late followed by a server explosion is par for the course.

 

[RionaaM]

props.

everyone post song lyrics that best capture your summer sale feel.

Easy: "Mr. Blue Sky" - ELO

The clear sky and bright sun are a metaphor for the Steam sale.

Best Genesis is Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Genesis. But I completely agree that Calling (and Ray Wilson) didn't deserve the shit it got.

I can barely stand that album. Some songs are fine, such as "Counting out time", "The chamber of 32 doors" and "The cage", but the album as a whole isn't too enjoyable. I prefer Foxtrot, Trespass and Selling England by the Pound (Nursery Cryme is the worst of the Gabriel era, in my opinion).

Nothing can beat A Trick of the Tail, nothing. Pure goodness in musical form.

can you possibly say "ass" more?

dark brotherhood quests alone were worth the price of admission.

 

[Fuu]

Does Capcom discount DLC when they have sales or is it only the main game usually?

 

[Arthea]

yeah I can agree with that. elder scrolls has had pretty lame combat. skyrim is a little better because of the two hand bioshock style fighting. It still lacks weight though.

totally get dark souls before skyrim if you don't already have it.

but, the quests and world itself in skyrim is something that should be experienced by everyone.

yet to play Demon's Souls (PSN plus), too early for Dark Souls. BTW which one is better in your opinion?

Dark Brotherhood questline was ass.

Toki Tori 2 will be released. So no sale = more time for that. We win either way.

SSFIV arcade edition had the game and all DLC on sale recently, the DLC was a couple of quid for the lot I think.

DLC for fighting games at least goes real cheap.

 

[Elratauru]

I remember them discounting DLC's too, but Capcom is not the best company when it comes to discounts in their main games, there are some good offers sometimes though.

 

[Rickenslacker]

All the DLC for their game on sale is discounted.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Hmm. Wake up at 2am when the sale starts(Australia) and check the first lot of sales or stay asleep and check it at 6am when i get up for work. If its anything like the last sale I definitely won't miss anything by checking it at 6am yet I am still tempted to wake up for 30mins at 2am to have a look.

 

[FloatOn]

I haven't played Demon's. I hear they are both about equal. They are not really connected in any way so I would go ahead and get on Dark Souls especially if it gets a decent discount.

Get ready for Dark Souls 2.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I prefer the structure of Demon's, but I prefer the weaponry in Dark. I can honestly say they're both just as good.

 

[Hofmann]

I preferred the mechanics in The Swapper and the lack of pretentious writing.

I agree with the writing part, but the puzzles are still unbeatable. The way it gradually introduces fresh new elements to the core mechanics up to the end could only be compared to recently released Antichamber, but Antichamber is less constrained by the initial design concept, so it's not quite the same.

Stay wake! There could be something price incorrectly.

I'm in the same boat (Japan). I'm just gonna wake up at 6am and check the store then. It's getting really hot here and I have a busy day at work, so sleep is more important.

Gaben, don't smite me.

Dark Brotherhood questline was ass.

It really was, nowhere close to oblivions

And those outfits...

Same. I was hoping for an early night due to the cricket...but now stuff is happening and I know I'll get trapped in the middle of staying up or going to bed.

Having replayed both recently, Dark Souls is better than Demon Souls in pretty much every way. However I still much prefer Demon Souls because I played it first...and it was a magical gaming experience.

That's what I thought too, better to play first game first

So do you normal have the ponies blocking a portion of your monitor or is that a selection that you chose to display specifically for that picture?

 

[Rickenslacker]

He was usin' my picture to add his onto ya goobers.

 

[Twinduct]

Ponies killed the train.

 

[PixyJunket]

The extent that these pony people go to to show everyone that they're pony fans is a bit disconcerting.

The question still stands.

Demon's Souls had better level design, but Dark Souls had better world design. All told, there's no reason not to play both.

Ponies derailed the train into a gas line killing 200 people.

Get on with the sale already!

off topic: Bioshock Infinite is 57% off today at greenmangaming. With the voucher code it's 77% off!! Sorry if this has been said already. Doubt that Gabe will offer the game any cheaper during the steam seal.

Would have to agree. The last 1/3 of Dark Souls in particular was pretty crap.

But above all else they are both amazing.

I hear ya, brother - early-to-bed strategy has been turned upside-down by 'Ashes' Agar's heroics - I just hope the young lad doesn't miss out on finally picking up Dark Souls at a great sale price as a result, he has been after it for weeks (and I hear he has all ten mystery cards, too). Priorities!

That's roughly 66% off. Percentages don't stack like that. 60% off for me with voucher (USA).

That's not how percentages work. 20% off of the already discounted price isn't the same as 77% off of the original price.
