Jiji Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 New batch of sales are up and Prison Architect at 80% off is a tremendous deal. I hated the idea of trivializing the abhorrent nature of western prisons and everything surrounding them but the game is really, really fucking good. The Evil Within is 75% off, Age of Mythology is 75% off and there's a big Borderlands sale too. Hah, Gaijin Ent. had that video removed, what a bunch of shitbums. Basically, the video shot down the idea of video game companies price gouging but didn't rule out that what Gaijin did with their fighter pilot game was illegal. They upped the price of their DLC pack and then put it on sale for a dollar more than its original value. They claimed Rockstar had done something similar with GTA V.

Tabe Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Fresh the video is down...care to fill in what it's about?Lots of people upset at Steam for false advertising and jacking up prices before doing the discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Any specific examples of said price hikes? It only happened with 1 thing. Arguably 2, but mostly 1. And it was a currency pack in a F2P plane game. One that no one plays. GTA also did it, but they included Shark Points for GTA Online with it, so I don't count it. The Internet is dumb.

JustJay Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 How good is the Far Cry series? I'm thinking maybe about getting 3 for $7.49 but don't know if I want to spend $42 for the whole series. I bought Don't Starve so far and plan to get more games as the sale goes on. I am hoping Grim Dawn goes on a bigger sale than the 35% sale that it has now.

Shane Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You'll hear varying opinions on Far Cry 2. The shooting is good and it's an interesting sandbox to play around in, but that game has a bunch of problems as well. FC3 smoothed over those rough edges. Great game. The characters are douchebags and near impossible to root for, but the gameplay is top notch. FC4 is a bit more of the same, but still a fantastic game. I've not played the first or Blood Dragon, so no opinions there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red is Dead Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 3 is awesome. well worth it. I played it on ps3 and it was gorgeous, even despite ubi not fully understanding the infrastructure and hardware. I've got 4 on my pc, and it's breahtaking. Only played a few missions so far, but I love the look of it. The grappling hook is a weird addition, but will take me getting used to it...

Cliff Hanger Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I grabbed that the last time they ran the bundle sale to snag Academy and Armada (I had all the rest) for like $3. Then I remembered why I had skipped those two on initial release to GOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Any thoughts on Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition? I've never played a Baldur's Gate game and $6.79 is a price I'm willing to spend, but the reviews are mixed. At least I know which opinions I can immediately discount here. Ha!

assfax Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Haul so far: Wolfenstein TNO, Deadcore, Grimrock 2, Endless Legend, Talos Principle, Door Kickers. Also got Commandos 2 and god help me, Deus EX HR DC. Couldn't help it. Footage of the new game had me pumped. I'll just play new Wolfenstein all day saturday and see if I blow through the entire game. That seems like an okay one time use game. In a bit of a lull on Witcher 3. Don't want to advance but I'm still playing a shitload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red is Dead Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bastion, The wolf among us Trials fusion Plus operation bloodhound from CS:go Wait to see what happens later this week...hoping for some big deals later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 My haul during this Steam sale is relatively small compared to years past. I almost got Endless Legend & Civ Beyond Earth but I decided to wait too late on this. I got Danmaku Unlimited 2, Van Helsing 3, Developer Alliance bundle, Humble Bundle - Retroism, This War of Mine, and The Guild Collection and that's it. I'm thinking of getting Ryse and Dead Rising 3 since I don't have a Xbox One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Civ Beyond Earth doesn't really look like much fun. And this comes from somebody who played awful Star Trek mods of Civ V (I think, may have been IV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So far, I've grabbed Don't Starve, Oceanhorn and Hero Siege. Still have $10.50-ish in my Steam wallet, so I'll likely pick up at least 1-2 more games. Waiting to see if The Stanley Parable shows up as a flash/daily deal. I don't know that anything else on my wishlist will drop low enough in price to tempt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zheroen Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah, so I've kind of splurged a bit with this Steam Sale. Here's what I've bagged thus far: Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition The Banner Saga This War of Mine Prison Architect Victoria 1 & 2 and all DLC bundle Crusader Kings II: Europa Universalis IV Converter and Way of Life DLC To The Moon Hate Plus LISA The Banner Saga Killer is Dead Napoleon: Total War Total War: SHOGUN 2 - Sengoku Jidai and Saints and Heroes DLC Gunpoint Kentucky Route Zero Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition Magic 2015 Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends One Way Heroics Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 SimCity4 worth it for 4.39? It beats the hell outta SimCity (2013), so yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Picked up Sim City 4 on that deal and also noticed on Origin that Sims 4 was half off so I ended up buying the Deluxe Edition as well as Outdoor Retreat and Get to work expansion packs for like $80 total. I still play Sims 3, so I figured this was a decent deal to finally upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
