The Game Sales and Deals Thread, With No Apologies to Anyone

[ArugulaZ]

The guest ships in Dariusburst kind of blow my mind. There's like a dozen of them, including characters that from all appearances would be wildly incongruent with the Darius style of gameplay. Yet somehow they made Opa-Opa and the ship from Dodonpachi work within the framework of an entirely different game. I guess the relative banality of Darius's design makes that possible... you can pop all kinds of ships with all different kinds of play mechanics in there, and the game is open to it because there's no central "hook" in Darius that runs contrary to the way any of those other games play.

Oooo, good timing. I've been thinking about getting these but wasn't sure which platform I wanted them on.

This month's Humble Choice is really good - Deathloop alone is worth the $12, but there's a lot of good games there. Maybe I'll get to them once I've stopped putting hundred of hours in Railroads.

They also have an RPG Bundle, the Baldur's Gate and Beyond Bundle, that has some great games. And Planescape Torment for $1 is a steal any day of the week.

Snatched the whole BG bundle and am a happy subscriber (especially this month) to Humble Choice.

I was planning on buying Inscryption in the current Steam Halloween sale, and then when I clicked into its store page I noticed something interesting. It's currently part of a bundle with the creator's other two games, Pony Island and The Hex, but since I already owned those I was offered a 20% discount for Inscryption on top of the sale price. So this might be a narrow post, but if you own Pony Island and The Hex on Steam and want to buy Inscryption, you can get it for under $10 at the moment.

 

[Positronic Brain]

Yeah, those bundles are great. Always worth checking them in case you get more mileage for your bucks.

 

[ArugulaZ]

Hot fragnards! They actually cut the price for most of Nintendo's Arcade Archive games, including that stupidly hard arcade version of Super Mario Brothers! They're $5.59, which isn't a fantastic price cut, but it's SOMETHING.

And oh yeah, Eiyuden Chronicle Rising (the prequel to the Suikoden revival) is just $2.99 on Switch for the next, uh... day. So if you want it, you'd better get it soon.

No Gravity Games is doing a 12-day giveaway of some of its titles on Switch, one of those things where you have to get the free one each day in order to qualify for the next.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Most of their library ain’t great (I’ll go to bat for Nova 111, however) but… it’s good enough to put up with the cost of having your Switch News Channel be screwed up

 

[Sarcasmorator]

Destropolis is pretty fun too.

 

[ArugulaZ]

Waiting for Tanuki Justice, which wasn't available for free in the previous two giveaways. I want it... I just don't want it enough to pay for it.

 

[ArugulaZ]

Oh! Also. The arcade games for Capcom Arcade Stadium 2nd are currently two dollars each, half their usual price. If you didn't buy the full package but would like to snap up a few stragglers you haven't already purchased a'la carte, now's the time.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Mind; it's still cheaper to buy the full collection than just getting the games piecemeal, even if you exclude the ones you may already have in existing Capcom collections.

But if there's only a handful that spark interest, now's the time to get goin'

I've been following the No Gravity giveaway, but this morning when I tried to "buy" Supersonic Tank Cats (through Nintendo's website, not on the Switch), I got an error message and now the game doesn't show up as purchased/downloaded on its eshop page, but I get a different message saying it's already been purchased if I try to click that button again. My Switch did download the game, so I hope it got counted for the purpose of the rest of the giveaway...

 

[Sarcasmorator]

If it's on your Switch I reckon it's fine. If you have any of these already it counts toward the daily thing, I think the giveaway checks your account.

 

[Purple]

It literally goes by checking your library. I had yesterday's from the last one of these, that's fine.

 

[gorha]

The same thing happened with today's game, the error messages followed by the game downloading anyway. Weird, but I guess I'll take it.

In case you missed it - there's a New Year Sale at the Switch eShop until the 15th.

Relevant to the ongoing Devil May Cry discussion, the Lunar New Year sales bundle on Steam looks pretty good.

I've only bought a couple things from Eneba before but really should call out that a month of Xbox Gamepass is 88 cents today. It's listed as 43 cents but they add fees.

Note: it needs to be used by April 30th, and you can't have an active Gamepass subscription.

Just picked up two of these, one I just applied for this month and one I'm saving for early next month for when this month's sub runs out. Thanks for the heads-up on this deal!

 

[Violentvixen]

Looks like Gamestop is doing a deal where if you trade in two games from this list you get $50 off Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

 

[Daikaiju]

"Monster Energy Supercross 6"?

I'm betting you can find that one for less than $25

 

[Voncaster]

Death Stranding is free today (May 18) on the Epic Games store.

 

[Daikaiju]

What the hell is that about anyways?
