Bargain Thread 2019

I find Wirecutter is pretty good at sussing out some winners.

Yes, I’ve been watching them since last week. Love the Wirecutter.

Thanks for that, I’ll take a look.

Playstation, lots of stuff:

New lows on a few VR games & Knack 2

From that link

It’s a misleadingly titled sale!

Tempting for me:

ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission $14 (tempting because I already bought Psychonauts on the assumption that one day I’ll own PSVR)
Detroit: Become Human $10
Shadow of the Colossus $10
Gravity Rush 2 $10
Wipeout Omega Collection $7

Sadly, other games I want, like Tetris Effect, Dragon Quest 11, etc. are not on sale.

The Last Guardian was on the list, too. It’s a pretty cool game, if you haven’t played it.

I’m dumb, what does that mean? BF?

In this case, I believe BF = Black Friday

Yes. Black Friday.

I thought it was pretty weak sauce too. Might be because the retailers have now spread it so thinly across multiple weeks. Hell even months.

I kept waiting for DW: Universe to get an under $10 price and was disappointed.

Fanatical and Matrix currently have it at $15 fwiw

I’m glad @Nesrie wasn’t saying her best friend was a little weak this year.

haha yea that’s what my brain was thinking and I was so confused.

Looks like Valve may have sold more than they actually had left. Some people are getting emails about cancelled orders.

I don’t know what’s up with my Steam controller - Fed Ex website says it left Chicago on Saturday morning, doesn’t take that long to get to Seattle. But it ain’t here.

Is it FedEx Ground, though? Because as I recall mine took a long time to get to Portland back when. For some reason having to do with its internal electronics (or maybe it was the Steam Link’s) they couldn’t ship it by air.

I can’t tell from the website, doesn’t seem to distinguish between air and ground on my shipment. Hopefully it’s just as you say though, since nobody has told me it’s canceled.

Back to boring old daily specials and bundles for a while until the Holiday/Winter sales start up in three weeks or so.

Fanatical still has their Black Friday Sale happening for a few more hours though for you procrastinators.
They also just launched a Star Deal on Life Is Strange Complete for $3.79 (80%).
A new Tower Defense Bundle is also live at $4.99. It features Warstone, Guards and Age of Defense.

Humble has ended their Fall Sale, but launched the annual Yogscast Jingle Jam, where $30 nets you 20 days of games, DLC and other content. Already revealed items (It’s Day 3) include:

  • Kingdom : New Lands
  • Bastion
  • Rapture Rejects
  • Invisible Inc.
  • Red Orchestra 2 : GOTY
  • Dreadlands
  • Clatter
  • Crusader Kings II : Dynasty Starter Pack
  • Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2
  • and more

Humble Store has a Tabletop Games Sale with decent discounts on tabletop inspired and conversion games.

Grim Dawn is only $4.99 (a steal for such a great ARPG), the Ashes of Malmouth DLC is a historic low $10.79 (40%) and the Forgotten Gods DLC is also a historic low $11.19 (30%) at the Humble Store.

Steam MidWeek Madness is live, just in case you didn’t purchase enough Steam games over the weekend sale…

  • Play Imperator : Rome free for 5 days, then pay $26.79 (33%) if you want to own it. That’s not a bad price, but it’s been lower in recent sales.
  • Trippy Action-Adventure game We Happy Few is $24.00 (60%).
  • Children of Morta is $16.49 (25%), but it’s been cheaper, including $14.84 currently on Fanatical when using code BLACK10.
  • Codemasters Publisher Sale is also happening. Seems like an odd time for a publishers sale immediately after a Steam Sale week, but whatever. Plenty of good deals for racing game fans.

Zombie Driver is free on steam. It’s fun.
