The Groginati Sales Thread

[Nefaro]

The Gamersgate Thanksgiving sale has begun.

Stuff like Borderlands 2 GotY Edition for 75% off.  A lot of 75% off ones.   Various other stuff like Wings Remastered, Graviteam Tactics, X-Com, etc.  Many.

It occurs to me that with GG having become largely an extension of Steam, they may not run parallel sales this year.

Someone has already pointed out that Steam doesn't usually run their usual week long sales the week a holiday sale starts but they did this year. I don't know if that's true, but if so it would count toward the theory of the two sites developing non-overlapping sales for the big holidays.

ooooh...Omerta Gold for £6.25!

They didn't overlap the last couple years.  Not exactly.  Gamersgate usually starts theirs earlier.

Now here's the totally mental thing

I bought World in Flames earlier this year from someone for a no-so-insignificant amount of cash...around £40 I think. Anyway, it's on sale for £48 (with books) and comes to a cool £62 delivered.

Now here's me thinking I would buy the game again - for the manuals - even though I have it - and haven't played it for more than 10 minutes at any one time and probably not more than 2 or 3 hours in total.

How mental does that sound

That, sir, sounds like all of us. We're pretty mental when it comes to collecting games. 

[JudgeDredd]

I just really want the books  :(

But I can't justify £60 for a game I already have.

From what I remember, because the game I bought was registered to the other guy on Matrix, I wouldn't be able to use it online...so maybe I'll pick up the game again and the books in the 2016 sale when Netplay is working  :P

Or even in 2020 when there's an AI

Sounds like you need an addiction-Intervention.  But hey, if you got the dollars to spend then go ahead and have fun!

[Greybriar]

Wow! That's quite a sale Matrix is having; four pages of titles on a .pdf file that are priced at up to 2/3 off. Now would be a good time to purchase those Matrix games you've always wanted.

I beg to differ.

Doing that for World In Flames would be buying a ticket for a frontal lobotomy and a nice padded cell.

And what games that I don't have time to play will I be buying on sale this year?

[Gusington]

I refer all of you to my sig line.
