The discounts don't seem as big now as they did a couple years ago. This is easier that's for sure. I dunno, I liked the game of checking it everyday. The strategy would be don't buy anything unless it is on a flash sale, until the last day.

Anyone else having issues with the Steam store? I was hoping to scope out the deals before I get home tonight, but it's going SLOOOOOWWW or going to an error page.
A little slow for me too but manageable, I'm sure they're getting bombarded with hits at the moment.

Shadow of Mordor for $3.99 is a great deal if you haven't played it yet.

I haven't seen the list of games on sale, but for anyone who hasn't played it, Darkest Dungeon is totally worth a look, especially if it's cheap. pretty unique take on the dungeon crawler genre. Very macabre.

Anyone ever play Tyranny? I really liked Pillars of Eternity, and it's made by the same company.

DAMN YOU RIMWORLD. Not on the Steam sale. I've picked out 4 games about $50, but I'm only saving about $18. I'll have to leave them in the cart for a while and think on it. A bunch of others toward the bottom of my wish list are on there, but those are mostly my emergency "I broke both legs and need something to do" games.

Good point. For some reason I was thinking everything came on at once.
Yeah sale is 2 weeks I think, the way it is now is that once you see a game on sale that's the lowest it'll be, no more waiting to see if a flash sale will make it even lower. At least that's my interpretation of it.

Yeah, just read more about it, and checked, and all the games in my cart have prices good until July 5th, so I'll keep my powder dry for a couple days.

I'll have my eye on this. I've yet to delve into the Hearts of Iron series, and I think I'd really like it, but have yet to pull the trigger. This seems like a good opportunity to get my foot in the door.

Highly recommend HOI4. The learning curve isn't as bad as previous versions and there are a load of tutorials online anyway.

If we can't play games where cartoons bang each other then what are we really doing here?

Personally, I don't even understand the point of playing a game if it can't have cartoons banging each other. Like, why was that game even made if it doesn't have cartoons banging? John Madden and EA really ****** up.
