The leaked email plus the lack of weekly deals and midweek deals seem to point to tomorrow.

Is the Thanksgiving deal usually as good or better than the Xmas sale?

benjipwns · « **Reply #3 on:** November 26, 2013, 07:23:32 PM »

Yeah, most stuff is generally around the same range in every sale, though you do have the games that drop in price so even if they're 75% again that's now $2.50 instead of $5.

I remember the thanksgiving sales in the past having more emphasis on "big name" titles each day than the longer winter and summer sales. But that's when it was only like two days.

Yeah, but unfortunately that includes the cheat dlcs. If you get it, there's a pinned thread on the game's steam forum page on how to disable them which I would recommend doing.

Same, I'm holding out ~~for a hero~~ for a -75% flash or daily.

Want to get it and the price it's at is good, but I want sub-$10 if I can.

Here's the shovelware I bought to toss on the pile:

- Hammerwatch

- Test Drive Ferrari
- Fieldrunners 2
- Under the Ocean
- Lunar Pack
- Retro/Grade
- Ms. Splosion Man
- Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians

Any of the Saints Row 4 DLC worth it besides the actual 1st Dominatrix expansion pack?

cool breeze · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2013, 01:29:53 PM »

Saint's Row 4 is $15 on Amazon if anyone else was going to pick it up

Bebpo · « **Reply #22 on:** November 29, 2013, 01:39:20 PM »

So apparently SRIV will have 2 DLC mission packs (mini-expansions) total this time around. One is the Enter the Dominatrix which is already out and $2.99 today. The other is Saints Save Xmas which I guess will be out by Xmas? And Season Pass is $3.99 today which includes both. Grabbing that.

I'll buy it, even though it's more than what I paid for Dishonored GOTY due to a 5-minute-long pricing error.

Paid $10 for Papo y Yo, even though it will probably kill my Gateway. Want to try Lemonade Stand, and I recall the soundtrack for P&Y is pretty sweet.

Not really, other than a little bit of the one that came out on the DS [which wasn't really that great]. I got Ayesha ordered, though, and apparently the best of the series is probably Totori.

But if you want a fun JRPG that won't get you put onto an NSA list, I'm really enjoying Ni No Kuni right now. It's a bit on the easy side and it's fairly simplistic in most respects, but gosh darn if it isn't just really charming. Some nice 2D animated cutscenes from Studio Ghibli scattered around, too.

That's pretty accurate. The gameplay is mostly the same as in Blood Dragon, although Blood Dragon is a bit streamlined comparatively. Unless you just really want to play basically the same game again but with realistic visuals and a super-serious story than wants to be satire, then you can safely pass up FC3 and just play Blood Dragon again.

Also Payday 1 is 90% off with the daily deal for the sequel. $2. Easy to miss in case anyone wanted to play some of that.

If you played Blood Dragon, Far Cry 3 is completely irrelevant to you.

Nah, Far Cry 3 is > Blood Dragon. I personally don't overly care for the 80s retro jizz of BD because i'm not a 30-40 year old, so I think the original is better. shows off the engine a lot better, campy/funny story, fun skill tree.

But 40% ...will get a better percentage next sale and SW/Deadpool will get MSRP drops so 75% is <$10 in another sale. $8-10 still gives me pause. $6 or under is immediate buy for anything I'm slightly interested in.

benjipwns · « **Reply #59 on:** December 02, 2013, 10:29:45 PM »

I probably bought too much (especially cheap DLC crap), but I think I actually got a lot of stuff that'll get decent play time out of me in the near weeks to come or that I've had my eye on and were waiting for dropping under a price threshold for a while. So it's been a good sale for me after the last few have been a bit lower in quality, though I guess I am somewhat comparing it to all the bundles I've been picking up in recent months where I get like 10 games but only really want like two.

I think the only thing I bought that was less than 66% off was Cook, Serve, Delicious! And other than Antichamber I think everything else was at least 75% off. Only spent like thirty or thirty five bux.

So yay gerry
