A few of the digital distribution sites usually run a sale for a few days that isn’t as good as the winter sales but usually have a few good deals. [Origin](https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/deals) [Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/) [Uplay](http://store.ubi.com/us) [Good Old Games](https://www.gog.com/) [Bundlestars](https://www.bundlestars.com/en/) [Gamersgate](http://www.gamersgate.com/) [Nuuvem](https://www.nuuvem.com/catalog/price/promo) (Brazillian site but legit - often has deals no one else has - but watch out for the warning that says it’s for the South American region only - anything else should be worldwide) [Blizzard](http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20385069) [Humble store](https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/onsalethisweek/) I don’t have any recommendations yet, I’ve gotta dig through everything, except [Battlefield 1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=808071) is surprisingly $20 off already, $40 for the standard edition, and it’s a fantastic game. ---

If your’re considering VR: The Vive will be on sale ($100 off, so $700) This Friday and Monday at all retailers that sell it, including Amazon and Best Buy. And The Steam link is also on sale for $20 and the Steam controller is down to $35. Swear by both. ---

I just dropped $50 today on the Steam Autumn sale; I did not get great bargains, but decent discounts for recently-released games: The Witcher 3, and (don’t judge me) Farming Simulator 17. ---

Any opinions on Ark or Inside? Both look intriguing, but would like to hear from folks who’ve actually played. ---

> [@Athena](#): > > Any opinions on Ark or Inside? Both look intriguing, but would like to hear from folks who’ve actually played. haven’t played Ark, but inside was a lot of fun. Featured some cool mechanics, a ton of polish and a creepy world that stuck with me. It’s very short though, and it’s not one of those games that ties up things neatly for you at the end. I felt satisfied despite being a short romp. If you liked Limbo, you’ll like this. ---

> [@Athena](#): > > Any opinions on Ark or Inside? Ark is fun, assuming you like the whole “open world survival” genre. Unlike games like Rust, Ark has a strong PvE element to it as well and you could play it single player and have a solid experience but, of course, there’s a lot to be said for coming over a hill and seeing someone else’s settlement or a new player. At the same time, there’s also a lot to be said for not logging in and finding out that someone burned your house down. And all these survival games have a time investment cost to get the supplies and learn the skills to build your house and get some level of safety, etc. If you can find a server that fits your style (from lightly populated casual to all out alpha-wars on an official server) you should have fun. I could go into it with a lot more detail but don’t want to bog you down. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask. ---

I see Witcher 3 and Deus Ex have finally dropped to mid range rather than premium pricing. The question is will I get around to playing them if I get them now, or should I just wait until they fall further. ---

I just bought Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year addition(all DLC, etc.). [$4.99 at bundlestars. Still active right now. Activates on Steam.](https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundle/middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor-bundle) ---

Enhanced Steam indicates $4.99 is the lowest price ever for Shadows of Mordor Game of the Year. ---

Homefront: the Revolution is $15 for the Freedom Fighter edition at GMG (after 10% coupon) The game started out with poor reviews due to performance but they got it cleaned up and it ran very well for me when I played it. Unlike the first game which was very multiplayer-oriented with a lame SP campaign, Revolution is a single-player campaign of about 20-30 hours with a bunch of Co-Op missions as well (that you can also try solo). It plays a lot like “Urban Far Cry” – conquer areas by hitting forts and checkpoints to gain area control and radio points to unlock the map. So, if you like that game play, you’ll probably like Homefront: the Revolution. If you buy it, I really recommend the Free fighter edition because the Season Pass never goes on sale from its $25 cost and the FF edition is just a couple bucks more than the base version. ---

So far I picked up Rise of tomb Raider, the newest DLC for Total War: Warhammer, Abzu and that dragon cancer. Thinking about Contradiction, Oxen-free and possibly Abducted. ---

We rented an [Ark: Survival Evolved](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=812296) server and I made a thread about it. If you’re interested in playing you might as well grab Ark today (last day of the sale) - it’s not going to be cheaper than $15 for a long time. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Enhanced Steam indicates $4.99 is the lowest price ever for Shadows of Mordor Game of the Year. No!! Apparently Uplay has it for $1.74 today. Reddit claims it is listed as $5, but rings up as $1.74 at the checkout. If true, it must be a glitch?
