Why is Persona 3 Portable more expensive than Persona 4 Golden? Why is SEGA being so stingy with only a 20% discount. Another 5% (on the SALE price) if we use the Persona bundle. Why SEGA...? It's the oldest and ugliest one. Why...

Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I'm picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it's regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I'm pleased to see it at $10.
Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for 'three big games' of content is a steal, though.
It isn't that 'successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep' is exactly unheard of - it's a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn't have been if they'd only spent half as much making it, and so we won't be getting a PoE3 :-(
For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.
Lot of people saying it's Meh but ones that I've been tempted by are:
ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition
- this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I've been holding out for
Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off
Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023
- deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL
honestly the only ones I picked up this year are the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Jurassic World Evolution 2. that's it.
I don't think it's a matter of the sale is meh but most of the stuff with deep discounts is always on sale with previous sales and thus I already picked that stuff up. You'll constantly see the same games over and over with each sale and when you participate in each sale that number of games to get great deals on becomes less and less.

Didn't go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:
- Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
- ATLYSS (Action RPG)
- Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
- Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
- Anodyne (Action Adventure)
I got gnome jigsaw puzzles and the frog DLC for against the storm
What should I get? I'm back on Morrowind from a bout of dwarf fortress. A modern Morrowind would be perfect. But not oblivion I need something fresh. I've been eyeing start citizen but the reviews are really lackluster especially about the thing I care about.
Dread delusion claims to be like Morrowind, but it's just on my wishlist soni can't say how accurate it is.

I purchased a bunch of dlc for Train Sim World (tsw). I only buy dlc for tsw when its on sale, save a small fortune that way.
Bonus savings if you can get one of the bundles on sale for double discount. I got £150 of dlc for about £55. Yeah dlc is super expensive for tsw but it doesn't go out of date and nor is it needed for a multiplayer mode so why rush?
Been after the expansion pack for Germany and the Preston Route for ages.

They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.
Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.
Picked up: Supreme Commander Collection, Rider's Republic, Rakugaki, The Stone of Madness, Look Outside, and Sol Cesto.
Not a bad sale imo...
Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I've seen.

Alright already have it but for my VR bros, Into the Radius is half price at 15 right now. It's has its own story but it's heavily inspired by stalker. Probably the best shooter/scavenger game on VR period.
