I would normally get really excited, but I really don’t think there’s anything I want, even at deep discounts. I’m sure I’ll end up picking up something, just because, but there’s definitely nothing I’m looking for.
Id recommend Football Manager 2015 if its offered to anyone who is interested in complex soccer management simulations. There are teams from roughly 60 nations to choose from. And Out of the Park Baseball if that is your sport. These arent EA type games so no button crunching required.
Unless you have the patience of a saint, probably not a good idea to try to buy anything right now, though. Steam is getting absolutely hammered as usual and nothing works.
Huh. GTA V was Cdn$70 when it came out, I could swear, and now it’s 25% off for Cdn$67.48 with a regular price of Cdn$89.98. Guess I won’t be buying it till Christmas at the earliest if that’s the way they’re going to be.
Instead of decreasing the price of the game, they added in some imaginary money and kept it at the same price.
To me, that is a huge warning sign. I can accept this kind of bullshit in a free to play title, but GTA5 is a $70 game. Rockstar has little incentive to make the rate of progression actually enjoyable when they can instead make it annoying enough that people might be tempted to pay them real money to bypass it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a Total War:Attila flash sale!! Common baby!
The base game I wasn’t feeling much, but I’d pick it up for cheap, specially now that the Belisarius campaign has been announced! Gonna carve me a new Roman Empire out of Vandal hides
I have also heard the added content (for which they raised the price then the sale "lowered"to the original price) counts as a form of DLC and kills Steam’s new refund policy.
Basically when you buy GTA-V it comes with some “DLC” which is enabled instantly whether you want it to or not. That DLC being enabled makes it impossible to return the game.
I am amazed they are being so shitty about it. It is a very popular game. This habit of doing everything possible to squeeze your customers for every last dime is short sighted.
Gaming companies should be more like CDPR (Witcher series).
