    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.

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

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

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

    They're re-releasing this so I would avoid it for now..

    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.

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

    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 :)

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭fergus1001


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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭Vojera


    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.

    Steam has drawn first blood


  • Registered Users Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Tomo.Murphy


    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.
