To strider or not to strider?
Also battleblock seems really tempting.

 

[Ghostmaster]

The escapists has a 51% discount. Wait, what?

 

[Pachimari]

GRID Rally isn't on Steam anymore?
Something must be wrong with the Android app.

EDIT
Blah, I'm thinking of DIRT Rally lol.

 

[Tizoc]

I know a lot of Rayman Origins levels are in Legends, which I have, as bonuses. Origins differences still worth $2.50? I'm kind of tempted just so I can play it without booting up UPlay.

Gameplay in Legends is much more refined than in Origins but Origins is good still.

 

[sflufan]

None.



Those of you looking to buy Dying Light may as well head over to indiegala for a steeper discount. $30 USD.

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

Unfortunately, that site has a region lock on Dying Light for US customers

 

[holygeesus]

Rayman Origins is on sale for $2.50. Uplay free.

Hmmm strange, must be a rights thing, as here in the UK it is £3.99 and Uplay is still required!

 

[Skab]

So one of the Ark devs just posted on the community hub

You get the Dino Spectacles even if you bought it previously, just respawn and they're yours! (or if you don't wanna respawn, go onto a different server and send them through Steam Inventory.) As for the Daily Deal, the Spectacles is our way of saying thank you, but yes to avoid making anyone feel bad about buying the game at its launch price, we weren't able to discount it any further.

So they waste a daily spot? Cool, thanks guys.

Are you looking at Legends instead of Origins?

 

[jacobeid]

Glad I grabbed the Batman Arkham Origins Cold, Cold Heart DLC from Amazon the other day when it was $2.49 considering the Season Pass price on Steam right now...

CS:GO ate up a daily spot without any additional discount too. Granted, it was more than 17%, but it still wasn't any different discount than it has seen for the rest of the sale.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Strider is fine. It's not great but it's not bad, just plainly a mediocre metroidvania. For under $5, if you're hankering for a metroidvania and haven't played one of the other dozen or so available on steam already that are probably a bit better than this then I say pick it up.

 

[robotrock]

Thoughts on Titan Souls and Jazzpunk?

Jazzpunk is absolutely phenomenal. One of the greatest games of all time.

 

[Emerson]

The Escapists deal dropped from 51 to 33%.

What a shitty day of deals lol

 

[Pixel Samurai]

Expect war to be $4.99 like previous sales.
Fall has generally gone for as low as $14.99 on Steam at least.



DLC of Origin isn't on sale it seems?

Thanks!

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Good price for Titan Souls, I really enjoyed that game.

 

[JaseC]

Tomorrow is encore, right? I guess the Trails in the Sky deal was really the monster click thing that wasn't unlocked. Disappointing.

The 21st is a Sunday and it makes no sense for regular programming to resume then, so I assume that'll be the encore day and things will be back to normal come Monday's store update.

 

[holygeesus]

Are you looking at Legends instead of Origins?

Yes, yes I am! What a dumbass. It's £2.49 here.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Yeah whats up with that? Its been -17% since launch. Are they not required to further discount it to be a "deal"?

 

[Skab]

CS:GO ate up a daily spot without any additional discount too. Granted, it was more than 17%, but it still wasn't any different discount than it has seen for the rest of the sale.

CS:Go has also been out for a long time and was on sale for relatively cheap.

Ark just went into EA like two weeks ago, and just comes off to me as a dumb marketing ploy, and really rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm not sure why the Steam page shows DRM, but the Steam version does not contain Uplay.

Just look at the review rating, no game with 96+% approval has Uplay inclusion. PC gaming Wiki also tracks the DRM of Site games and Origins is not listed http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_3rd_Party_DRM_on_Steam#Uplay

 

[Jonm1010]

Unfortunately, that site has a region lock on Dying Light for US customers

Well, fuck.

 

[aku:jiki]

So The Escapists was a price mistake, huh? I thought it was kinda expensive even at that level, considering it seems like a game that's fun for maybe 3 hours...

I don't see how it's better to eat up a daily sale with an older game that doesn't have a better discount than with a newer game without a better discount.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Experte went way beyound 50,000,000

youravatar.jpg

WUT.



Also that Life is Strange discount was really disappointing, oh well.

 

[DukeBobby]

Whether you buy it from Steam or from somewhere else, definitely pick up Dying Light.

It's one of the most underrated games of the year so far, and a massive step up from Dead Island.

Agree with you. I was sick of the genre, and zombies in general, but that game is so well done. Got many, many hours out of it.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, haha. I think I'll pass for now.

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

I really wanted to, it was among the top games on my list for this sale but 25% is just too small of a discount when another place has 50%. One I unfortunately can't take advantage of.

 

[Dog Problems]

What autoclicker program is everyone using for the Monster game?

 

[CISphil]

You think Ori would run ok on a run of the mill laptop?

 

[Helmholtz]

Bought Ori. Probably the only game I'll pick up this sale. I don't know too much about it other than it supposedly being fairly challenging and having an amazing artstyle.

 

[Jimrpg]

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

 

[Acrylic7]

First time seeing or hearing of 'Freedom Planet'.

 

[AndyMoogle]

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.

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

 

[Baron_Calamity]

So The Escapists was a price mistake, huh? I thought it was kinda expensive even at that level, considering it seems like a game that's fun for maybe 3 hours...

It changed from when I put it in my cart till I was about the check out. Rather bummed about that.

 

[Skab]

I don't see how it's better to eat up a daily sale with an older game that doesn't have a better discount than with a newer game without a better discount.

Oh, I'm not saying it's better.

Just 10x doucher of a move to use it to promote your new game at barely any sort of discount vs an old game thats pretty steeply discounted.

 

[Alo81]

Anyone wanna go in half on Abyss Odyssey bundle?

With tax, it'll total to $4.51.

PM me if interested.

 

[KarmaCow]

Axiom Verge is a great Metroidvania minus the vania, though it's not on sale.

 

[someguyinahat]

Gemcraft for less than five bucks? Well, it was on my wishlist...

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

This year's sales are terrible

FTFY

 

[Archaix]

Guacamelee and Axiom Verge are two big ones you're missing. La Mulana to some degree, I hear good things about Escape Goat and Apotheon but I haven't played either.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I got $30 left so it's probably going to Ori and another daily or two.

 

[KingKong]

Titan Souls turned out to be disappointing right?

 

[KarmaCow]

Guacamelee and Axiom Verge are two big ones you're missing. La Mulana to some degree, I hear good things about Escape Goat and Apotheon but I haven't played either.

Escape Goat is a stage based puzzle game. Still a fantastic game, as is the sequel.

 

[Blak_Status]

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.

 

[Archaix]

Escape Goat is a stage based puzzle game. Still a fantastic game as is the sequel.

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.

 

[Artofwar420]

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

 

[LurkerPrime]

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

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.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Great, no discount for the Arkham Origins Season Pass or at least the Cold, Cold Heart DLC. The Season Pass is now 33% more expensive than Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Origins combined. Ridiculous.
