Holy shit, the base price for gta5 suddenly went from 60 to 75€, discounted 25%

what a scam

 

[Pattycakes]

Fuck ya GTAV 25 percent off! Now I can buy it for....$60?

Is this a joke Gaben?

It is paired with a $20 money purchase so they force you spend sixty dollars. I just want the base game to be on sale with no DLC.

 

[luxarific]

Probably be cheaper by the time all the episodes are out.

It's the best Telltale game, well worth it

It's worth it, the game is freaking awesome. The wait times between the episodes are ridiculous, but fortunately Episode 3 should be out soon. It's got a really enjoyable plot, and the main cast of characters (both the 2 protagonists and deuteragonists) are some of my favorite characters in a game ever. Even if you don't like the Borderlands games, it's worth it.

Also, the game is really funny at times.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys. I'm bummed to hear that not all the episodes are out yet, but I think I will get it since after the new Batman game I won't have anything new to play until the fall games come out.

 

[Grief.exe]

Larian Studios are a bunch of noobs. Is it on daily? No.

I want it, but you have to give me more than 25%. Sorry guys

That was exactly my point. Wait for the dailies, 25% off is just a general discount.

Some questions about Don't Starve:

Exactly what type of game is it? Rather, how does it play? I read the bullet points, watched the trailer, but I still can't really tell. How does combat and stuff work?

And if I buy the base game and Reign of Giants pack now, it seems like I'll get the multiplayer (Together) when it comes out for free? Then is the only point of buying Don't Starve Together right now is to play the early access version and get a bonus copy?

I haven't played it since the initial Early Access release, and I am aware that Klei have added massive amounts of content to the game.

You essentially survive on a randomly generated island by collecting food, avoiding the nighttime, and hunting/befriending/hiding from the native inhabitants.
Everything is done with one click of the mouse, collect berries with a click, attack a giant spider with a click, etc. Combat is interesting as they have animation frames, so you dodge their attack, then come in for a quick poke of your own.

Not sure how the free Starve Together content works at this point.

That sounds...kind of interesting? Maybe? I wish there was a demo so I could try it out. I'm not usually too fond of survival/crafting whatnot.

One of my favorite games, but if you aren't interested in survival rougelikes with very vague objectives, then you probably won't like this one.

Also looks like people missed out on the free Don't Starve Together if the FAQ is anything to go by. Of course, Klei forgot to remove the information from the Don't Starve page as well.

What happens if I buy Don't Starve now?
If you buy Don't Starve now, you have the choice of buying just Don't Starve, or buying Don't Starve along with Don't Starve Together. Don't Starve Together is no longer being gifted to new purchases of Don't Starve.

How much does it cost to get Don’t Starve / Don’t Starve Together now?
The main packages available starting today is the following:
Don’t Starve will continue to be $14.99
Don’t Starve Together will be $14.99, and include an extra giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together for your friend
Don’t Starve + Don’t Starve Together + a giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together will be $19.99
After June 3, will new purchases of Don’t Starve get Don’t Starve Together for free?
No, we are only gifting a free copy of Don’t Starve Together on June 3rd. This means that June 2nd was the last day to qualify to receive Don’t Starve Together by purchasing Don’t Starve. After this date, there will no longer be a loyalty discount to upgrade to Don’t Starve Together as well.

 

[fokkusu]

I bought gtav 60€ no ragrets

 

[Ifrit]

This is my first steam sale since I built a pc that was actually good at running games. I look forward to buying a bunch of games I don't want now that I've lost the excuse of not being able to run them.

May God have mercy on your wallet

 

[Trouble]

Valkyria Chronicles and Tales from the Borderlands for me today. Somewhat tempted by Styx, but I'm gonna wait for a later sale on that one.

 

[mdsfx]

It is paired with a $20 money purchase so they force you spend sixty dollars. I just want the base game to be on sale with no DLC.

Same.

Also, scree dealing with stream right now. What a mess.

 

[Tizoc]

Another price mistake

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/51669/

4 GAMES FOR $0.99!

 

[raebodep]

This is the worst steam sale ever and some of these games have been cheaper in previous sales.

 

[Schmitty]

Has YNAB been on sale in the past during the big summer/winter sales? It doesn't have any discount at the moment so hopefully that doesn't mean no discount for the whole sale.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

So I got Ultima Anthology and Lands of Lore 1-3 over on GOG and now Valkyria Chronicles on Steam. What a start.

 

[Woorloog]

Is there any chance Quake Collection will be offered for cheaper than the 40% it is now?
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/434/

Do even collections/bundles like that get better sales? I can't recall.

 

[Torraz]

Just got a mail from Namco advertising the Steam sales. Dark Souls 2 sotfs pic shows 33% off but it's actually 50% off on Steam.

Hmm..

This is my number 1 anticipated game for the sale...

Perhaps better to buy now. On the other hand, it should be even cheaper in the winter sale...

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Just a heads-up.

There's a game on Steam called Despair.

It's shit.
It costs 9 cents.
It has trading cards.

Do the math.

 

[mnannola]

Ya that is a load of bullshit.

 

[Aaron D.]

First pricing error I noticed.

PlayWay's Sim Bundle

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/51669/

3 bad sims + 1 EXCELLENT sim (Car Mechanic Simulator 2014) for $.99 (-95%).

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Am I missing something with this GTA V thing? Is this a joke? Where is the base game.

Gone, that way even with the "discount" (and some extra in-game currency--wow!) you still have to pay $59.99.

 

[j-wood]

What is this GTAV BS? Is it not possible to buy the game without any add-ons? So you are still paying technically full price?

 

[TemplaerDude]

So anti-consumer fuck them I just removed the game from my wishlist, now I won't buy it until it is like €5.

I'm with you, man. I almost feel like emailing Rockstar and telling them they're a bunch of assholes. I was gonna buy it at any discount but this is just insulting.

I anticipate the first developer apologist telling me I'm an entitled prick.

 

[diaspora]

Rockstar is one of the scummiest companies in the industry and make Ubisoft and EA seem like angels. This move shouldn't surprise anyone.

 

[NIN90]

wtf is this shit? Did 2K remove the SKU of GTA V without all the extra shit for this sale?

 

[Mavromatis]

oh great a humble bundle.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I can't play the monster game it gives me an error.

 

[MisterM]

First pricing error I noticed.

PlayWay's Sim Bundle

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/51669/

Aw, yeah. Don't care for it, will give it a go but grabbed it for 79p. Steam sales.

 

[Kadin]

wtf is this shit? Did 2K remove the SKU of GTA V without all the extra shit for this sale?

It appears so.

 

[TheOohChild]

people are being total babies about the GTA V thing

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Has YNAB been on sale in the past during the big summer/winter sales?

It has.

I distinctly remember it making the final day of sales and having a good chuckle about the irony.

 

[arts&crafts]

So is the game broken? I had some upgrades exited came back in still says I am level 10 just no upgrades so I do no damage

 

[FistOfSyn]

Buy DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin: 27.49


Buy Upgrade to DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin: 27.99$

Logged out and back in and this is still the pricing, the heck?

I guess i'ill just wait and see if they actually put them in daily / flash sales

 

[molnizzle]

The GTAV on my wish list is acting like it was $85 too. So Rockstar literally raised the price of the base game to $85 just so they could "discount" it 30% for the summer sale.

Holy shit.

 

[luxarific]

Has YNAB been on sale in the past during the big summer/winter sales? It doesn't have any discount at the moment so hopefully that doesn't mean no discount for the whole sale.

Yes, it went on sale during the 2014 summer sale and 2014 winter sale (14.99).

 

[jediyoshi]

So anti-consumer fuck them I just removed the game from my wishlist, now I won't buy it until it is like €5.

To clarify, it would be better off if they didn't attach it to a sale to begin with, right? These are literally the opposite posts about people who complained while preordering about not receiving this same bonus.

 

[Anoregon]

Just a heads-up.

There's a game on Steam called Despair.

It's shit.
It costs 9 cents.
It has trading cards.

Do the math.

Bad Rats was only the beginning

 

[Kalor]

For those that were interested in it, Half Minute Hero 2 is £1.74. I've been wanting to play it for a while but never got round to buying it.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

GTAV sale is downright evil.

 

[jediyoshi]

The GTAV on my wish list is acting like it was $85 too. So Rockstar literally raised the price of the base game to $85 just so they could "discount" it 30% for the summer sale.

But you can't actually purchase it that way, so what's the distinction you're making?

 

[Panda Rin]

Wow, people are salty. It probably wasn't their intention to put it on sale for that much.

 

[Ibuki]

Buy DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin: 27.49


Buy Upgrade to DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin: 27.99$

Logged out and back in and this is still the pricing, the heck?

I guess i'ill just wait and see if they actually put them in daily / flash sales

It shows the prices as $24.99, and $23.99

Dat 1 dollar savings!

 

[bananafactory]

Not seeing anything too enticing. Any crazy sales I should be aware of?

 

[His Majesty]

6% off on GTA V in dailies, amazing deal.

 

[Kid Ska]

Just a heads-up.

There's a game on Steam called Despair.

It's shit.
It costs 9 cents.
It has trading cards.

Do the math.

Oh fuck yes. And this game looks awful, too, so I think I know what I'm getting drunk and blasting through tonight. Should be worth a laugh.

 

[Bytes]

There used to be offers that were literally too good to avoid.

This. Overall, the games used to get better discounts. Now it's a lot less common.

33% is the new 50%

 

[kulapik]

So what's the point of the mini game?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Is there any chance Quake Collection will be offered for cheaper than the 40% it is now?
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/434/

Do even collections/bundles like that get better sales? I can't recall.

Wait for publisher sales. Capcom, Square Enix, and Bethesda commonly participate. I've noticed sometimes something like only Fallout 3 will be advertised, but their entire catalog also goes on daily pricing.

 

[Kama_1082]

Just double dipped on DS2 scholar of the first sin for $24.

I hate myself.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

So what's the point of the mini game?

unlock discounts on more games

also, "fun"

 

[sixamp]

why doesnt steam have an add to cart option by right clicking or highlighting something. i hate i have to go to every store page

 

[Starwolf_UK]

So is the game broken? I had some upgrades exited came back in still says I am level 10 just no upgrades so I do no damage

You might have died while inactive which in the brief window when the game was working for me means you lose all purchased upgrades and don't have enough money to get anymore or kill anything to get any money.

 

[Ibuki]

Just double dipped on DS2 scholar of the first sin for $24.

I hate myself.

Why not wait for the daily?
