I hope Divinity: Original Sin goes back on sale. Isn't the last day usually just games that were already on sale? I wonder how they decide which ones are selected.

Seems pretty likely it would show up in the recap, which is either Sunday or Monday depending on how they set it up this year. Somewhat likely to be a flash deal before the end of the sale as well.

So this has been a terrible summer sale for me..

I only bought ONE game so far. Papers Please.

All of the other ones I kind of want just arent priced right... and I missed the flash sale on NBA2k14. Oh, and we STILL havent gotten a King of Fighters deal... cmon Gaben.

Im not sure if I should be sad or happy that my wallet is safe.. but ehh..

Happy, and I hope KOF goes on sale would pick it up right away.

Voted for Rayman Legends. Hope everyone gets it, amazing game.

Over 50 hours played and I got every achievement in the game <3
I'm still super burned on buying Origins with my friends... to then find out it doesn't have online multiplayer :(
Yeah, it's awesome in local coop... but why on earth does Legends still not have online MP?! Awgh.

Finally killed the world in under a year. Man, Plague Inc. s a great game. The third level (Fungus) just sneaks up on you, too. Talk about lulling you into a false sense of security.

I remember playing that game as a flash game in some website. Also try Oiligarchy

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Any of the other games? Was thinking about Fall if it ended up featured again.

The previous two games are region-free.

Edit: And just to be perfectly clear, if you'd previously pre-ordered Dark Spark through a trader, you're fine.

Very nice review and impressions, thank you.

One more question that I had seen asked 2-3 times earlier today but I never saw an answer to. Is the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist Deluxe Edition worth buying? Is the extra content worthwhile or is like so many other Deluxe Editions with over powered game breaking weapons and worthless skins?

The "Homeland" DLC comes with two missions that can be played in either SP or co-op, but I haven't tried those yet, so I can't vouch for their quality.

I'd advise against getting the Deluxe edition because it trivializes the economy and the general gear/weapon upgrade structure even more. You have instant and free access to all of that stuff and they make several upgrades you'd otherwise spend money on with non-DLC gear worthless. They can also trivialize your first several missions since you start off so high-powered, unless you purposefully choose to ignore the DLC gear (like I did).

If you really want those Homeland missions just buy the Homeland DLC separately instead of the Deluxe Edition. You save a buck and you don't get some of the other overpowered crap, though Homeland does still come with the powerful suits, so if you want to avoid all of that completely just buy the regular edition.

I sort of want the last day of the sale to arrive so I can pick up games while knowing they won't go cheaper. But then again, I don't want it to arrive because some of those games might go on sale for a larger discount :/
