Every 30 seconds you have to leave the game and restart it just to *hope* it *might(* work this time.

It's absolutely fucked, but like any Steam "event game" if you don't suffer through the completely broken part (assuming it *ever* gets fixed,) then you'll fall too far behind to actually get any of the event content.

How do you even fuck up a click-spam game this badly? It's *impressive.*
 
So getting fucked royally is a company not giving you a $15 discount on a game that was released A MONTH ago that is still generating steady revenue. lol, ok.

I guess GTA V should have done nothing and not give out the crappy monopoly money.

Here come the apologists!

Please! GTA V has been out for almost two years now. I don't give a fuck if it was "just released on PC!!!" Rockstar has made their bank from it, they can afford to toss a bone. I was willing to buy it at any discount and I was gonna just go on with my day otherwise, but these tactics are evil and disgusting.

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3 are both 75% off, for those old school FPS fans. Both are good games and you can still find games online

?

game was $60 when added to my wish list

now on wish list with base price of $85 so it can be discounted 30% for summer sale

i.e. they raised the price of the game just so they could "discount" it to the normal $60 price for the sale

So you're being incredulous for no reason? What's the functional distinction you're making by pointing out that an unpurchasable option exists? Are you actually under the impression that when the deal is over, the price will keep at that point? It doesn't occur to you that it's just some stop gap to make the math work out correctly?

Hard to tell, since it got "Relaunched" a few months ago. I can see it going on sale, but not by much.
That's what I figured :( I should've bought it at $20 when it was still under the subscription model. If it goes to -25%, I'll bite, but I'm not even confident we'll see that.

I'm half expecting that this SotFS loyalty discount price is wrong since it seems so finnicky. I might just get it now and refund if it gets cheaper.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I would gladly suffer through it if it didn't keep resetting my progress. It's almost impossible to stay alive now that the game has gotten harder but I'm back to having no upgrades.

Oh shit. I know what I'm getting with Ghost Recon X-box classic during the encore sale if they don't get cheaper then.

GTA5 at 56 euro, amazing discount?

LMAO. NO
 
No. They didn't. People who have the original game in their wishlist can see the original title now raised to $85.

If you go on the page for the item, there is NO GAME listed at the $84.97 posted, even before the sale.

Actually there is but its the bundle with Max Payne 3 and if you click the "package info" button the GTA 5 is actually listed as 79.98 which actually the version of the game that includes the Great White Shark Card.

The wishlist price is just picking up the bigger number for some reason (which could be due to that sku having a bigger overall discount).

I suppose I'll see if I can get a refund on Valkyria Chronicles to get it on sale. I got it at launch (which is rare for me) and haven't touched it yet. :|

I'll do it if I can, I'm in the UK, no idea if it will work or not :p
Send me a PM

Actually, wait, I don't want to do that.

Sorry

Ah saw the edit too late before I PM'd, thanks anyways.

I'll buy anyone a $10 steam game in return for a $10 Battle.net game, if you'd like to help me out shoot me a PM :)

lol it's a promotion for people who buy during the Steam sale instead of discounting a game that has steady legs and has been in the Steam top seller chart for weeks. They have no reason to put it on sale at all right now, it's nice that their GTA sale is more than just 3 through 4 bundled together. Calling that evil and disgusting is just so hyperbolic I can't even.

Anyone play Pandora? I usually only buy 4X games if Rob Zacny gives them a good review, but it doesn't look like he reviewed this one? Is it Eternal Legend-tier or is it Warlock-tier?

Batteries the CRISIS!
Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is 50% for $24.99, wow. Seems like a pretty deep cut for a title that's normally $50.



GTAV on discount is 67$ canadian. I didn't even realize it was 90 normally. What the hell? Is this normal?

No. Notice that they've bundled an extra game (GTA4 or Max Payne 3) and some of their multiplayer currency (Tiger Shark Credit Cards or whatever) to jack up the price before "discounting" it back down.

I gave that Monster game a go. It loaded, screen said kill the monsters, but there was no monsters on my screen, and I got a message saying I died.

Harder than Dark Souls.
