True but knowing I could have gotten the game + the season pass for less on Nuuvem a few weeks back is enough to prevent me from buying it now. It's a sickness, I know but I'll just wait for a better deal.
They abandoned it faster than the Cardassians abandoned Deep Space Nine and in a similar condition.

quoting for new page.
To be fair, the Cardassians kept trying to get DS9 back.
The Gold package seems like the best but seems only to be available in North America. You could probably get someone to gift it to you if need be.
Thank you! This and DS2 was everything I wanted so that's it for me. I'll maybe get that FFXIII deal too but not sure yet about it. Anyways, thanks for the info!

What Batman Arkham Origins DLC is worth it? Not all is discounted.
(No GOTY version)
The Origins Season Pass includes all but the last three entries on that image I posted on the last page.
The game isn't finished right now- but it's looking pretty damn good though significantly more complex than GC2.
Should be a steal at $25. Recommend even I think Sorcerer King is the better Stardock EA product.

Only after the wormhole was discovered. Which clearly means we can get Double Fine to return to the project if a portal to an unknown program/game is opened within the Starbase universe.
Too bad no mortal man can make the amount of clicks needed to pull that off with DF9's ridiculously poor UI.
I just tried to give it a chance and now I have carpal tunnel just from assigning one task to one worker.
right, forgot about that.

Valkyria deal looks nice. Sadly, I don't have my funds for the sale yet.
While not as bad as most other EU countries, the "RRP" of AC Unity is £45 in the UK
£45 would be bad enough as it is (I don't think even COD has been that expensive and Activision are known for high prices, they were the ones who started this "PC games should cost £40" idea) - except the game was in such a shit state at launch charging anywhere near £45 for it is an absolute insult.
It's £30 currently, but that's still not as cheap as the PS4 version has been at retail, and nowhere near cheap enough to make me give it a chance given everything I've heard. Try again, Ubisoft. This time with less bugs and microtransactions.

Any cool Early Access stuff on sale?
At work at the moment, but really interested in trying out some nee/different stuff.

I think the biggest problem with Spacebase DF-9 is that genre is really meant to be developed by a lone guy in a basement over years, slowly adding features here and there. DF tried to do a larger scale, faster made version of that, and the market just doesn't support it. Plus, the genre is well developed enough that people know tons of features they would want, but forget that usually takes many years to develop. It was just not a good match for DF in any way, and that should have been obvious for both them and users from the beginning. DoubleFine is best at bite sized games with singular concepts (like Hack n Slash, which I highly recommend, and still comes with a free copy of Spacebase).

Is Legend of Korra worth it for 10? I know it isn't as deep and fully fleshed out as other Platinum games, but is it at least a good, fun action game?
I am holding off on this one too. It may get a flash sale or community vote.
VC is really good, you could wait for a better discount but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. I'd go for it.

Except there is more than one place to buy games digitally on PC where you aren't forced to take the ridiculous prices like on consoles.While not as bad as most other EU countries, the "RRP" of AC Unity is £45 in the UK

There are plenty of places where you can get Unity for £20 from authorised UK websites, I never understand why people only look at the steam store and then complain things are expensive, just madness!

Bought VC and Tomb Raider GOTY from GMG, good times
Bought a lot of cheap cards to make badges and thought I could make a tiny profit. Instead I wasted a lot of time and made a pretty huge loss.

Viscera Cleanup Detail is $7.99 (-20%) for the duration of the sale, but there's a slight chance it could show up on a Daily/Flash.
Same goes for Kerbal Space Program $22.49 (-25%).
Those are my two hands-down insta-recommend Early Access titles.
nothing for me today,only thing i'm even a little bit interested in that I don't already have is fable anniversary but i'm waiting for that to go at least sub $10 if not even cheaper
do it,amazing game would be my GOTY but I think I like divinity original sin slightly more at this point(in the process of playing that at the moment)

Boy I'm gonna get coal in my stocking for this one, but this story pleases me.
Nothing personal, I've just got a bad history with profiteers.

Is it just me, or is the sale getting much worse every year. Daily deals with only 25% or 33% off. I know valkyria chronicles was only recently released but to me that is not a very impressive discount. Iirc it was available with that kind of discount for pre-orders.
Publishers may get more desirable price average, but I would have thought mediocre discounts will dampen overall sale revenue. I am not looking for any games in particular and have a massive backlog to get through, but if I see something I am interested in at 50% or more I am likely to bite. Metal gear, beyond earth and valkyria are of Interest but the price isn't quite there yet.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

Want to pick up Bastion when it gets cheaper, also Brothers (my son's called Seb and he has a brother thought that'd be cool for Christmas) and one other, cheap game. That'll take my Backloggery to a cool 200. Happy days.

I'm not blown away. Just bought a couple of things on my wishlist that were 50% off or better. None of the featured or 12-hour deals have interested me so far.

Only game I've purchased so far is Doom 3 BFG Edition for $4.25. Wanted to bite on Dark Souls II but I'd like to see it for $9.99 or less.
I'm tempted but I think I'll wait until the next sale. Would have to wait to long to play it immediatly...
I don't see what's so bad about making a profit of something. Do you not vote on the community's choice yourself to get a card that you can sell?
That's true, it's my own fault. I was hoping the winter card prices would match the summer card prices, or at least that I would break even.
The price for Dark Souls 2 is excellent, as is the game. Unless you're one of the people who want to wait for that DX11 version, I would buy it. I'm a huge fan of the series though, so it's only my opinion.
I'm pissed the season pass wasn't on sale. I've been waiting for that since the game came out. WTF.
