Absolute bargain for a great game!

Thanks. I had the base game but I bought that to get the 7 DLCs.

Alan Wake will be disappearing from Steam (and other outlets I assume) in a couple of days, due to the music rights expiring. So they're having a "Sunset Sale" with 90% off before it vanishes. The discount goes live sometime tomorrow, and will bring the game down to €2.80ish.

Think I'll pick up a copy, looks gooD!

One question though - I just bought the bits for a budget build for the girlfriend who loves horror movies and games, this seems right up her alley, but they won't be here until next week. If I buy a copy of the game on the secret Steam account I've made for her since she doesn't have one yet, authorise it etc so it's locked into her library etc... will I still be able to download it after it disappears from Steam or would I effectively just be throwing €2.80 in the bin?

I'm pretty sure you will be able to play it. They are hardly selling a game you can only play for 2 or 3 days.

You can download games after they've been removed from steam, there was a discussion elsewhere on boards about it recently

It wasn't so much about not being able to play it in 2-3 days, but not being able to install it had you previously purchased it (crossed my mind that a few people noticed a couple of games missing when looking at the Steam hours tracked playing thingy a month or two back). It's likely going to be at least Friday before I can put her computer together so can't download it until then.

Cheers for the feedback from yourself & DS, though!

Hadn't even heard of it before reading the post about the sale, but at €2.80 it certainly looks worth a punt... I much prefer these types of games to be first person as tends to be more popular with them these days, but it does look to set the tone and atmosphere very well.

it looks very immersive

Defo gonna pick it up for 2.80

The atmosphere in the game I found good, the gameplay though let it down imo. I got bored and didn't finish it.

Glebee · 13-05-2017 01:54PM

I liked Alan Wake a lot. Thought it was a very decent game at the time.

Icyseanfitz · 13-05-2017 03:16PM

is the story good in aliens? just after watching the new movie and bought it

Skerries · 13-05-2017 03:26PM

Alien Isolation? absolutely worth it

One of my fave games. The graphics are beautiful. And the flashback scene......I was in awe.

Have the base game, is the DLC worth it?

Edit - Bah, back up to full price anyway!

Alan Wake is now for sale at 90% off i.e €2.79.

CastorTroy · 14-05-2017 01:23AM

Sick I missed that. Seems to be back up to 45.99 now...

Mr Crispy · 14-05-2017 07:17PM

They were having a different deal each day. I suppose there's a chance they might do an encore at the end?

Buy that quickly. It's being removed from sale due to music licensing issues.

Mr Crispy · 14-05-2017 10:06PM

The Humble Store is having a spring sale until May 25th.

CastorTroy · 15-05-2017 12:18AM

Have a 30% discount code from bundle stars for Shadow of War if anyone wants it. I'm sure can probably get it cheap anyway but figured will offer before it expires on may 21st

Billy86 · 15-05-2017 11:09PM
