    Hmmm. Does anyone know when the next Humble Monthly is released? I don't want to buy stuff on the Steam sale only to receive it as part of the HM bundle for July.... I'd have to give the duplicates away and be all charitable n shit.

    15 days 0 hours and 34 minutes.

    To be exact.

    Screw it so, I've money burning a whole in my Steam wallet.

    Speaking of which, don't forget to sell your trading cards for mad profits. :pac:

    I think I will finally buy something this year. Hopefully something laptop friendly. Alocated 50 quid on my cc. Will see.

    No more flash deals as I remember, so all deals will be appearing on day one.

    They've been getting progressively worse over the last five years or so. Don't think the things I'm interested in picking up, like PUBG will go on sale.

    It's still worth having a look at your wishlist.
    In the end it's better than getting games at full price.
    For indies, things like the Humble Bundle might be better and there's plenty of other legitimate sources for games these days, but you can usually find decent bargains on year old+ games from big developers.

    I used to get so excited back in the day when there were genuinely fantastic offers to be had. The last few years have been lacklustre in my opinion and only getting worse. Ah well! Still a bit of excitement to be had though. I always end up buying something anyway.

    At least there's supposed to be some kind of side game this year.

    Tyranny for 50% off will get my cash. Shadows of Mordor for 3.99 is a great deal if you don't already have it.

    Got it a few months back,played about 3 hours and it all felt so repetitive so i got bored easily, in fairness im probably missing out on a great game?

    A few older titles I was hoping for only have 50% off. Some are still more expensive than the key sites, even with the discount applied. :o

    It's definitely 3.99, probably just stuck on the old page because of the heavy load. I'm going to leave it for a couple of hours.

    Not all discounts show up straight away due to the load on the system. Give it an hour or two.

    Final Fantasy games are only 50% off, disappointing. :(

    I just took a quick peek - assuming it hasn't recovered from the masses checking the sales yet, as it's giving me the full normal price for almost everything on the home screen :P

    It's funny, it took me a few tries for it to click but when it did I loved it.

    Make sure to download the official combat rebalance.

    I think it buggers up the game a bit if you start the game, install the mod and then go back to the game so make sure to install it before you start.

    That changed how I looked at the game. The combat went from a chore to being worthwhile.

    I feel sorry for poeple who only got into pc gaming the last couple of years. The sale hasn't been good since like 2013.

    That's good to know - I might give it another try then. Thanks

    It's all about the story.
    The overall arc isn't maybe that brilliant but the individual quests are top quality. Looks great, wonderful characters.

    The combat used to get in the way.
    Now it's an accompaniment.
