    I’m finding this sale underwhelming, and my backlog is already huge. Might skip it this time.



    Edit - okay, found some good stuff. A lot of the tables for Pinball FX were on deep sales, and with the Legacy packs I got them even cheaper (some I owned for PFX3 already, and some I bought legacy for both).

    New Heretic+Hexen remaster

    Some DLC for Across the Obelisk as my wife and I play that one together.

    Still an underwhelming sale, but at least not a total bust.

      They’ve been pretty underwhelming for a while now.

      You used to get crazy deals on games only a few months old. Now it’s just the same 50% off a five year old game before being ramped back up to full price between sales.

      There’s a few bargains of stuff you may have missed, but likely they’ve been an Epic freebie, or on PSPlus or in a Humble Bundle by now.

        Part of the sale issue for me, is that I sometimes already own these deep discount games. It makes it feel like there are less good deals.

        Also some new games have what I consider to be really high base prices, so a 60% discount is still not near the impulse buy range.

          Like, I’m sure Spider-Man is good but it’s still $60 and ‘only’ on a 50% sale? You can get it for $15 at GameStop.
