    Yeah, I held off on completing it until today, not much point when we were dead last.

    I'm pretty sure in the past, games have re-appeared in the sale at a lower price before. Can't give an example, but vaguely remember picking something up on day 1 or 2, only for it to be even cheaper in a few days.

    I'm not an expert on Steam Sales, it just says that on Reddit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    It's good to check the games page, pretty much anything related to the game on sale, is also on sale. I'd never played that walking dead game, didn't want to jump in at 2 but noticed that all the walking dead stuff is on sale to go with it.

    Damn this sale for coming up a week before I'm supposed to go on holiday.

    Not 100% sure myself to be honest...either way, it's nice and cheap :)


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Things which pop up in a flash sale have appeared cheaper in a daily deal and vise versa. I know I got the Witcher 2 for cheaper in a flash deal than it had been in a daily deal days beforehand.

    They did it with Football Manager 2013 last year if I remember correctly.

    FFS Blue Team, get it together!

    Gonna pick up TWD - is it worth getting the 400 Days DLC too?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Is State of Decay worth a look?

    It's completely unrelated to the main thing.. But if you enjoy TWD then maybe.. It's much shorter too..

    I'll let you know in a little while. Downloading as we speak.

    Yes, I would recommend it if you like zombie games.. You look for supplies and upgrade your base.. The map is a nice size too..

    Haha same here :)

    It's actually one of the better zombie games out there. Really focuses on the scavenging and surviving as you try to get more people, build up your base, get supplies etc

    The only downside is that when you have the best base possible, it sorta loses its touch. It's definitely worth the price it's at though!

    Decisions you make in TWD carry over into Season 2 in some form or another. The 400 days DLC also relates to the second season and based on the decisions you make. If you start playing TWD Season One now and you think you'll buy Season Two down the line from what you see then i'd recommend getting 400 Days DLC before the end of the sale.

    Looks like will be buying Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death, Blood Dragon, Walking Dead Season 2 and maybe Amnesia Machine For Pigs(Have the first but haven't played yet)

    Didn't get a card for the first 3 votes. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 537 ✭✭✭Yeti Beast


    Screw it, I'm not going to get Prison Architect despite wanting it. It's too dear compared to other Steam region's prices. I can ignore that when a game is only a few quid, but there's a difference of a few euro between €, and £/$. I'll get it on steamtrades.com instead.

    It's a console port, and an obvious one.

    But..

    Despite it being a port it's not a terrible one,

    It's a decent game, a bit jittery and jumpy here and there, but overall it's worth it. You'll get at least one playthrough out of it, and about 20 hours worth in that.

    I see Tropico 5 is 25% off, shall i pull the trigger now or wait a few days,


    Surely if its 25% off now it will be cheaper in a few days?

    If it's not a daily deal or flash sale wait for one and pick it up on the second last day if it doesn't get one(The last is encore only and all other sales end)

    It's not AAA so I can see it getting 40% off.. Depends on the publisher.

    Yeah, I didn't get one on the third vote either, but it showed up afterwards at 6 o'clock. Also, you have to be level 8 to get cards. As far as I know, they'll give them to you backdated once you reach level 8.
