Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (-80%)

Blade of Destiny or the Blade of Destiny?
I have both now but I've been meaning to try the new one ust for shit and giggles, and while it still reeks of shovelware it has received dozens of patches, so I guess it might not be that terrible...

your future if you're not careful...
It's all about wishlists now. Don't look for the AWESOME sale that stands out. Build a wishlist with hundreds of games, then just go over it every sale and check off the games that are cheap enough. Sale over.

I've been waiting for some of those oldies to get a 75% for a while now, so I'm rather pleased.
EDIT: Whatever, I take it all back. Now that I finally managed to login I see plenty at 75%. I guess ITAD just teaches us that most stuff's been better priced than that at some point, but that's life I guess.

Yes, that's what I do too. And that's why I'm so incredibly disappointed at how utterly shit this sale is. You're seeing things that are 75% off? I'm not seeing shit. Granted I can't even see my wishlist because I can't log in, but the front page speaks for itself. And ITAD just sent me a notification that out of the 100+ games on my waitlist, the sale's pricing about a dozen are near their lows... exactly 2 (two) of which are 75% off or more.

They're not even trying anymore. Why should they I guess.

Sales suck after Steam introduced their return policy, I just browse my wishlist and get stuff I've been wanting to for awhile.

Finally, the one game that really needed to get a major cut got one: Balrum is now 40% off, with the only previous sale being a 10% launch discount. The game was a mid-sized flop, so the sale has been a long time coming.

At least there's some decent prices on extremely niche Japanese games. Shmups, arcade platformers, a goddamn Kunio-Kun (River City Rampage) game.

Invis Inc - Got that early access for $8 a long time ago. Neo Scavenger was in some bundle. Hotline Miami $1 from an Amazon promotion years ago. Civ... 4?!? Frayed Knights is awful. Broken Land was in some Groupies Bundle. I mean, those are okay games but most are fairly old and/or have been bundled to death.

Come on, Metro, "I got it from a bundle two years ago" is not really an argument and arguing quality is subjective as fuck.

Plus, what is the point of buying an indie game if all you're paying like $1.00 for it in a bundle? Dev gets like 20 cents, you might as well just pirate.

It's a pretty good argument when people are listing games that have been steeply discounted for years now.

Fallout 4 is half price, but I guess most codexers bought it long ago.
