McSasquatch II · 18-12-2014 7:11pm

They've even made the flash deals and community votes less frequent this year. Meh.

Skerries · 18-12-2014 7:12pm

Damned looks interesting, anyone played?

Outkast_IRE · 18-12-2014 7:12pm

No amazing deals today from what i can see. Dark souls 2 for 14.79 is prob a good buy

Sephiroth_dude · 18-12-2014 7:15pm

J Mysterio · 18-12-2014 7:15pm

J Mysterio · 18-12-2014 7:19pm

Should of thought about that before they told the Ukraine to "Crimea river"

super_furry · 18-12-2014 7:46pm

Meh. Just had a look there and there's nothing for me. Between having so much stuff from previous sales and the fact that the deals just don't seem as impressive anymore when there are sites like Kinguin there all year around, I'm not sure how much I'll get.

Kiith · 18-12-2014 7:48pm

Will buy Rome 2. The latest patch is supposed to have fixed a lot, and haven't played the series in a good while.

fergus1001 · 18-12-2014 7:49pm

Quandary · 18-12-2014 7:51pm

Agricola · 18-12-2014 7:57pm

Shall be looking for the new Wolfenstein game for the cheap. Possibly CS:GO if it's €3 or below.

I'm still playing the RTW1 with mods, I think i'll hold off on 2 till the DLC's become cheap

From Wikipedia:

An updated version, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, will be released in 2015. The title is a compilation of the original game and its DLC campaigns, and will be released alongside a free patch for existing versions. Scholar of the First Sin will also come in enhanced PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, featuring updated graphics, audio, and performance, along with an increase in the maximum amount of online players in single session.[11]

Sorry can't link on my phone.

super_furry · 18-12-2014 8:15pm

It's coming to Xbox One and PS4 with DLC and 'improvements' and that version is going to be released on PC too.

Skerries · 18-12-2014 8:18pm

Links234 · 18-12-2014 8:42pm

I'd probably have to at least play a decent bit of Dark Souls before even thinking of buying II anyway

I've had dark souls since last Xmas sale and I've yet to finish it, not from lack of trying though

Overheal · 18-12-2014 10:20pm

I bought dark souls 2 years ago before it was a flash deal and never got the game to run properly.

At least maybe since its gone to steamworks it might actually work now.

These sales are weak sauce though.

Yah I am thinking the same I ignored the last one it was very meh, not sure what the hell they did to the sale ui but hard to tell what's a daily deal ect.

fergus1001 · 19-12-2014 10:02am

Ground zeroes isn't worth it unless you love metal gear even at that it's borderline

Dark Souls and meh.... does not compute.

Cravez · 19-12-2014 10:45am

Very disappointing sale imo. Worst one that I can remember. The Thanksgiving sale was alot better than this and that wasn't even a main sale event.

Vojera · 19-12-2014 10:49am

I like that they've put my wishlist games on the front page so I can see if they've got discounts.

I dislike that they've put my wishlist games on the front page because at first I thought it was a super-targetted flash sale. Dammit!

All I'm realistically looking to pick up this time around is South Park and maybe Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. But today is payday and I am afraid.

19-12-2014 10:51am

Steam has drawn first blood

Tomo.Murphy · 19-12-2014 10:52am

Just getting back in to Steam after about 2 years away.

Is the Counter Strike complete bundle at €13.99 a decent deal or is it likely to go down further?

I'd pick up the games you want if they are community/last day sales. I wouldn't worry about impulse buys as the prices aren't as good as usual.

It's only the 1st day...i'd give it a week before judging it as the worst

Well the first day has been the worst one that I can remember. Plus the fact that new main deals become available every 2 days instead of 1 day is another issue. Community choices being every day rather than every 8 hours. Flash deals 12 hours instead of 8 hours. They've dropped the ball so far

Where do you see the new deals are every 2 days? It says the current ones end tomorrow, but that's always been the way. the new deals would come in at 6 and yesterday's would be moved down the page.
We'll find out for sure at 6

Actually yeah you could be right abut that one. But still the discounts in general haven't been good in general. Less games/variety in the community choices, Flash sales etc. The only deal that looks great so far is Dark Souls 2.

_Puma_ · 19-12-2014 11:14am

I'm guessing we wont be seeing the DLC going on sale for Dark Souls 2?

Cravez · 19-12-2014 11:17am

Depends. Usually if core games on sale they DLC may be on sale (example Payday 2). Maybe check back everyday and check if it does happen to go on sale.
