Steam Fall Sale

[ronbo613]

Not much of a discount on the games I'm interested in. Think there will be better deals for the Holiday Sale?

I can wait, no problem.

 

[Newbian]

If the game you want has a 50% - 75% discount then you might as well grab it but otherwise wait if you want.

Also for the nominate your own award I did it for rust with the award of "The most dicks and pussies and that's not counting the nudity in the game" award.

Jumped on DLC for Just Cause 3. Under $10 CDN is a steal, I think.

I bought then refunded the Skyrim DLC. I thought they were still giving away the SE if you bought the DLC. Turns out Bethesda likes money more than they like me.

The SE version was free if you had the dlc before a set date as was advertised in so many places.

In either case the SE version is cheaper then the normal and 3 dlc's so you could had gotten it then also and got all the dlc's that way for that version.

I'm looking at another Steam Link ($20). Amazon is price matching so I could avoid shipping, but the TV in our bedroom is too small (32") given the viewing distance, and I can't justify a new television at this time.

I think the best deals will be on next month. Most of the good games arent even on sale. BOO!¬

I already had Skyrim, just not the DLCs. I saw the ads, but didn't pay that much attention at the time. It's my bad, but I do think Bethesda was unclear. Oh well. SE will be $10 next year.

Does Link stream smoother than computer to computer?

I'm confused. Is the Skyrim + DLC bundle not special edition?

Edit: Apparently SE is $40 and not on sale. That's pretty dirty they sell a complete bundle but the SE upgrades are not included in that.

Yeah Skyrim + DLC = Legendary Edition

Legendary /= Special Edition

SE is completely separate. Bethesda likes money.

Except Se was free and even if you didn't get it for free it's cheaper then skyrim + 3 dlc's and in fact it's the same price as 2 of the 3 dlc's under normal conditions.

I don't understand why some people like you think it is a sell out when this is the reality.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Skyrim with all DLC is $17.72 right now. That's less than $39.99.

 

[shortylickens]

Everything I want, I got.
Including the hardware.


Oh well.

That's what sales do and are not normal conditions.

 

[ronbo613]

The sales aren't as much fun as they used to be. Now they're things you wait for when you don't want to pay the going rate.

 

[mundane]

If the the receiver has a decent video card and/or CPU, I doubt it. It's a fantastic piece of hardware for the sale price, but I cannot imagine it does faster decoding / faster input processing than a reasonable dedicated general purpose unit.

 

[Ranulf]

Meh, get the Skyrim bundle and install hd mods if you're dying to play it.

They weren't before? The only upside before was the potential excitement of a flash sale each day. Which if you missed meant you waited until the last day. Most of the time I just vaguely kept track of what was on sale and waited until the last day of the sale.

 

[Imp]

I think Origin is having a sale on EA stuff too.

At least the flash sales gave you some hope you might get some kind of great deal and kept you checking back, maybe pick up something you may not have purchased otherwise, try something different.

The problem is a lot of people were upset as they did not wait for them or missed them and the prices were reduced enough for people to be upset over.

The refund system killed these and it's steams own customers that forced it.

 

[HitAnyKey]

Most of my games on my wishlist are either not on sale or at prices I am convinced will be better during Xmas Sale. Rimworld or Factorio are not even on sale. I will check the other sites.

More money to spend on ugly Xmas sweaters lol

I don't understand why some people like you think you know what some people like me think.

As I said above: It's my bad, but I do think Bethesda was unclear. Period. Beyond that, I don't care in the least what Bethesda chooses to do with their IP.

No Final Fantasy games on sale via Steam. Got to purchase from Square store.
But FF14 and its expansion are apparently NOT compatible if you buy FF14 on Steam and Heavensward from Square.

Square: $9.99
Steam: $39.99

Worst of all, apparently I cannot even buy the $19.99 bundle and replace the steam code.
Foiled.
