Someone please explain to me why XCOM: Enemy Within is more expensive XCOM Enemy Unknow Complete Pack. Way to screw over the folks that bought your main game.

 

[Catshade]

Is it just on my end or wishlist is still busted? Always get an error when I try to see mine.

 

[mfaex]

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.

This game is incredible. The settings have an option to make the quality worse.

This is also known as the Skyrim tactic. Just more reason for me not to buy a game until all the DLC is released.

 

[TheOohChild]

In fairness, they did remove the ability to buy the game on its own. It is a stingy move, even for them.

I don't agree. All they are doing is giving people a bonus who purchase during the sale. They didn't have to do anything.

LOL, I was wondering that as well. This sale is like one crappy business practice after another. Very disappointing opening day!

 

[mnannola]

Hey everyone I'm discounting my game by 50 percent!!!! I am also bundling some shit you don't want with it, therefore bringing it up to the original price!

What a lovely day.

 

[Deadly]

Valkyria Chronicles getttttttt

How come everyone is going on DS2 already? I don't see it as daily or flash!

 

[SoulUnison]

It's baffling how they can constantly plan these events themselves knowing the exact size of their user base and having historical data to help them estimate the influx of activity that will come with it, and yet everything fall flat on its fucking face 10 minutes in, invariably.

 

[MushroomSamba]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $7.50 (Daily Deal, 75% off).

...what do you guys think? Good deal?

 

[TheSeks]

Oh god. WHAT HAVE I DONE?

You didn't wait for the dailies, you bastard.

 

[Kriken]

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.

You Need a Budget? Yeah, it's gone on sale often during Steam Sales

 

[Zia]

Front page, voting and even the metagame thing are really elegant... by far the best sale layout and flow yet.

Yet I also can't remember the last time Steam was nonfunctional for hours at the start of a sale.

Come. On.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

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

I hate myself.

It isn't too late to request a refund.

How do you die? Do these things just randomly attack?

Constant stream of DPS actually. If that isn't happening it means the game is glitched/disconnected.

You will be able to respwan in 5 seconds or it;ll automatically do that for you after 5 minutes.

 

[fantomena]

So since Axiom Vegre won't go sale earliest october it's safe to just buy it now?

 

[El Topo]

TLJ is 50% off. Argh. Must resist.

Is it just on my end or wishlist is still busted? Always get an error when I try to see mine.

Mine just worked.

 

[Servbot #42]

So is the XCOM: Enemy Unknown port good? I have the PS3 version already but it chugs a lot in some spots so i was wondering if the PC version is good.

 

[The Reloader]

Log back in then take a second look. This is with the base game + DLC.

I was confused at first too.

I still don't see this.

 

[Salsa]

wow this thread sucks

From the OP:

"If an item/franchise is a featured deal, then it is at its lowest price"

wow this thread sucks

Seems pretty representative of the Summer Sale so far.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I don't know any of those games. Can't be a good sign.

They're quite old games. Back when games came in sturdy cardboard boxes with enormous printed manuals and sat on shelves at Electronics Boutique.

 

[Kandrick]

If Dark Souls 2 gets a better discount, i might get it even though i wasn't considering it.

 

[GrandHarrier]

60% off for Homeworld...

Not sure if enough.

 

[His Majesty]

I still don't see this.

Me neither, both at the same price.

 

[Tukker]

Sarcasm. How does it work?

It is usually used by someone who made a mistake and then they will claim it was sarcasm .

 

[Salsa]

No header image because Salsa is lazy.

look at this im still supposed to work without the fame and women

They've always been weird (in a bad way) with XCOM pricing. Stark contrast to their Civ V pricing, which generally has lots of options for people to upgrade to the complete version.

 

[slash3584]

Viscera Cleanup Detail is worth it?

It seems pretty fun and original from the videos

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

So mad I said it twice. Sorry for the double post.

 

[NJDEN]

What happened to Grand Theft Auto V...

It was at $30 when the sale launched, now the pricing got all fucked up with those shark cards... It was 33% (you can see it on the OP page)

Now it's only 25% @ $59.99 from the "original price of $79.98.

Where did the $30 base game option go, is it coming back?

 

[Enthus]

So is the XCOM: Enemy Unknown port good? I have the PS3 version already but it chugs a lot in some spots so i was wondering if the PC version is good.

Well if you were playing on PS3 before you were playing the port. Firaxis makes high quality PC games that usually include a ton of options, and EU is no different.

 

[Muskieratboi]

Valve vastly underestimated the Cookie Clicker Genre.

They DO realise there are apps out there like Murgee's Autoclicker that can have me clicking at 1ms intervals, right?

I really, REALLY hope that most of the game's input mechanics are calculated offline, because hundreds of thousands of people clicking madly, with each click having to be recieved by the server? that's just ASKING for a DDOS.

 

[Tecnniqe]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $7.50 (Daily Deal, 75% off).

Its a great game. Cant wait for the 2nd one so i would get that and the expansion and enjoy the ride.

 

[KiKaL]

Yeah, I bought it during a sale. I highly recommend it. I believe I have been using it for about a year, so probably go it last summer sale, and have saved a lot of money.

 

[McBryBry]

Well, I was able to buy the Metro Bundle. Still can't access inventory or the mini game though.

It was never the game. Was mislabeled.

The DX11 edition is on sale for 50% before a daily, which is pretty good.

PC version is superior in every way. Buy it!

It's great. You can also mod it with the Long War Mod.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Great to see The Binding of Isaac Rebirth on the first day. I have it for free thanks to PS+, but I think it's time for me to move on to using the PC version.

I'm going to be waiting for the Skyrim DLC to drop into deeper discount pretty soon, and I might even go for Dark Souls II.

I'm going light on this Summer Sale, and I hope I can keep that promise.

 

[Heysoos]

lmao what the shit @ the GTAV sale.

 

[MushroomSamba]

From the OP:

"If an item/franchise is a featured deal, then it is at its lowest price"

I meant that as in if $7.50 is a good price for the game in general, not if it'll be any lower during the summer sale.

 

[Tarin02543]

The Dark Souls 2 upgrade is actually $14 if you own Dark Souls 2 and DLC. That's not terrible, and I guess it'll get even cheaper when it hits the front page.

link please

 

[RS4-]

Whatever, bought that Mechanic Simulator bundle lol.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Valkyria Chronicles getttttttt

How come everyone is going on DS2 already? I don't see it as daily or flash!

more likely due to searching or using the wishlist since there are games that aren't necessarily shown front and center with discounts already (eg. Oddworld previous games like Strangers Wrath HD are 75% off right now) and have a chance of higher one if its becomes a daily or flash.

Right, but the base SKU is the one I added to my wish list. They just "updated" that SKU to include the online money and raised the price. Otherwise the game wouldn't be in my wish list at all anymore.

It's an unprecedented act of bullshit and Rockstar needs to be raked over the coals for it.

As i said its still shady as fuck

 

[gutterboy44]

Got to love Steam Sale logic. It is cheaper for me to buy both XCOM: Enemy Unknown (which I own) and Enemy Within, than it is to just buy Enemy Within. It doesn't even give me the option to give away the second copy of Enemy Unknown either if I buy the package deal. WTF? So I am just buying an extra game that disappears in to the ether?

 

[Tampler]

This is my first steam sale. I have no desire to buy anything in these daily and flash sales. Is this normal? Kind of expected better than this.

Its only the first day...

I don't agree. All they are doing is giving people a bonus who purchase during the sale. They didn't have to do anything.

It's not really a bonus if you have no intention of playing GTA Online.

 

[tearsintherain]

Bought Metro Redux pack for $10, good games and have wanted to try them. Also happened to get in on the $2.50 Chrome Squad glitch although honestly I doubt I'll ever play the game. I don't think I received the card for spending money in the store, oh well.

 

[Oshimai]

I already have XCOM: EU and I want to play EW. Should I purchase the complete package or should I wait for EW to be discounted further. Right now it's only at 50% off.

 

[UnrealEck]

I didn't know it is a port. Where did you hear or read it?
