The seasonal profile is absolutely beautiful.

Any ~5€ RPG recommendation?

You're welcome

My two early sale purchases. Loved the first Unravel and heard good things about Wandersong.

Wandersong is an absolutely lovely game. Hope you have as good time with it as I had.

Their next game is also shaping up to be something quite magical

 

[BlueOdin]

Penny Arcade 3 and 4 are really good and much better than their predecessor games.

You're welcome

I already own these but thanks!

Think I am at a point where I am now deciding between Tales from Off Peak City or The Procession to Calvary as my last sales game

that's how Kecmo roll

no base price reduction, no sales, no regional pricing

Buy Umurangi Generation

[Stevey]

Hmm, showcase upgrades are pretty neat

 

[MegaApple]

So general strategy this time is,

1. sell cards now
2. craft the badge later

right?

 

[Tizoc]

TBH, I wouldn't be too bummed out not spending much during this seal

Will just avoid spending $100 during this sale and support some indies.

 

[NarohDethan]

I'm convinced Koei Tecmo would rather die than put their games on sale.

 

[madjoki]

Coupon actually seems to work with classic, unpaused and it says "Your next bill is for US$6 on December 25, 2020."
No need to pause bait to get better deal anymore for next months, I guess.

Neat. Why has it got to be so expensive though..

I already blew most of my points on Hades animated stickers

Where do I get that coupon from
Edit: Found it, I think. But are you sure you stay Classic afterwards and don't turn Premium?

 

[Avern]

Buy Umurangi Generation

And don't forget to buy the DLC with it. It's a great addition.

If this is what madjoki was talking about. Though it doesn't work for me, since my sub is active right now, so I dunno.

Excluding Nioh I don't think they've ever done any big sale, then again Nioh is the only type of game where they have some competition.

I have paused current month and still don't see it. I guess I'm not one of the cool kids to receive this offer

Fuck it, i'm going all anime this time.

WHY THE ATELIER GAMES ARE NEVER ON SALE

This always confuses me. I've not really followed Tecmo-Koei so I'm gonna take people's word that they're shit with sales, but I'm basically not gonna buy an Atelier game until I can try the series out for less. Normally I rely on refunds, but JRPGs generally take me out of the refund window before I decide whether I want to stick with them, so I look for a discount when I want to try a series I'm interested in.

In a world where Persona 4 Golden is 20% off less than a year after release, what excuse do they have?

Oh well. Their loss because if I like these games I'm sure to buy the newer entries at full price, and if I don't they're better off for me having bought the one game to try. Now they don't get a penny from me.

Buy Umurangi Generation

It's in my cart. Will weigh it up along with the rest of the games once I've got the final cart price.

 

[NarohDethan]

Buy Steins Gate

I used to have this on PS Vita. I didnt play it much because the memory card died and didnt feel like buying another one.

 

[fokkusu]

I paused this month earlier this week and now unpaused and got that offer 6 usd / month.

 

[NarohDethan]

'Ask Japan'

 

[yuraya]

RDR2 is the better overall game than Death Stranding but I still voted DS for goty

Story rich is the perfect category for RDR2 anyways.

Much lower than I thought it would be but still pretty good. Console sales must have dropped off a cliff and its pretty much PC only growth for them until PS5/XsX versions come out.

RDR2 did 17 million in 8 days for comparison. Steam winter sale should get CP2077 to 17 million

When unpausing do you have to buy the current monthly too?

 

[C-Dub]

'Ask Japan'

Atlus are the stingiest most tight-fisted assholes out there and even they're letting their game take a price cut after 6 months.

Then again, they keep releasing these games on Steam so evidently enough people are buying them at full price.

 

[fokkusu]

I guess yes. It says "Your next bill is for US$6 on December 25, 2020. "

 

[Arsene]

Picked up some indie games with my cyberpunk refund and put the rest aside for Omori which is coming out on Christmas. Im pacified for the rest of 2020.

I was referencing KT's twitter account that never takes any questions and always answers 'you'd have to ask the Japan office'

Basically:

Crafted a bunch of badges, bought winter bagdes in point shop and only managed to go from lvl 118 to 123.T_T

 

[kio]

If I buy the 6months monthly can I pause or am I forced to get the next 6 months?

edit: nvm it's literally in the next post

 

[Tomasety]

This looked good until you read the fine print that you can't pause or the coupon will be void. Better hope the first month is good.

I knew there could be something hidden or less easily known.
Thanks for pointing that out. That's definitely a no go for me.

If I buy the 6months monthly can I pause or am I forced to get the next 6 months?

From what I understood from Blu reply, you have to eat all 6 months whether you like it or not. Can't pause in other words.

 

[Le Pertti]

So there is no coupon this sale?

 

[fokkusu]

Nope. Only in EGS.

 

[kio]

Yeah I noticed that after posting.
I'm still thinking about it tbh, even if I'm forced to get all 6 in a row, liking them or not. It's ~4.5€/month, so 27€, which is roughly 3 full price monthlies. If you consider that you'll get those 3 monthlies in the span of those 6 months. the other months are basically free and there's a significant probability they'll have at least 1 or 2 games that will interest you.
Need to think a bit more.

 

[Le Pertti]

Nope. Only in EGS.

Phew in a way, I wasted all my points before I remembered there used to be a coupon.XD

 

[Deku]

I guess yes. It says "Your next bill is for US$6 on December 25, 2020. "

but it means that unpausing wont bill you 12 dollars for the current month, am I right?

 

[Line]

So I dunno what to buy. Anyone got recommendations for a metroidvania or a dungeon crawler that is maybe a bit less claustrophobic than usual? Maybe lesser known too, since I've played a lot of shit.

Speaking of, any thoughts on Starcrawlers?

And weebros, Legrand Legacy at 1.67€ , yay or nay?

 

[Kvik]

I got a foil drop from voting in the Game Awards, but... it worth less than a VN game common drop.
