Name any games you folks have been waiting for to have a sale for a painfully long time to no avail. By sale I mean sale with a discount that meets your satisfaction. Some people are cheaper than others, that's ok. I myself was not happy with a 33% off sale for enter the gungeon for over a year, before it finally had a 50% sale for example.
In any case. Now it's Stranger of Sword City revisited. I'll happily take a 33% off for that game, but I haven't even seen a 10% off.. in over a year! AGHGHH.

Torchlight 2. When at Steam sales, it was offered for a mere 2 bucks and a bit less, multiple times at that, too. When it arrived on GOG, it was very expensive, rarely put on sales (if ever) and i was waiting for more than 1 year straight, in order to grab it during a good deal, like Steam's. Ultimately, during one sales of GOG, it got the exact same price it used to have on Steam's sales, 2 bucks and a bit more, so i got it immediately.
Whenever i need to save some money, or disagree with being treated as a second class citizen, i put my patience to good use. Thankfully, it is near infinite. I have waited for years upon years, waiting for former exclusive to Steam titles, to finally make it to a DRM-Free store, never being tempted to buy them, even dirt-cheap, not even once. You either don't budge, or you do. Little thing called willpower... And obviously, "voting with your wallet"!

I can't recall when but it was sometime in 2017. The best site to track sales is "Is There Any Deal". I used it to track games such as War for the Overworld and Dungeons 2 and 3. It gives you an idea how often certain games go on sale (often once every two months give or take) so you roughly plan ahead when the next sale will come up. Also it lets you pick and choose which storefronts to track. |

Also, some games that are offered for free, either i missed their time period, or bought them already before GOG gifted them to members... My biggest source of sadness on that one, is having lost the Classic Fallout series gift, before Bethesda took them down and re-released them, with all extras removed (grrr)! Thanks for the advice! To be honest, though, i do not seek special hunts always; only the last few years, i track sales and special deals... I used to buy games fully priced, especially the good old ones. Cheers! |

Well, I have a feeling I'll be waiting a good while for Lost Sphere to go on sale for $20.

Every Nintendo game ever because their price policy is absolute sh*t. Yeah, that's what I think.
On PC, Rabi-Ribi is certainly the worst offender on my wishlist. I won't buy the damn thing unless it's already 50%, and it never went below 35%. It's two and a half years old already, jeez!
Another one is Tiny Barbarian. I'd love to play it, but I knew about it only recently, and the devs in the last year or two years (I'm not sure) tripled the price to 30 bucks. It's currently 34% off, but I refuse to pay that price for a game that was available for 10 bucks earlier.

I'm still waiting on Ys 8 on ps4 to be on sale. I actually pre-ordered that for the Vita, the price was fairly hefty, but I justified it as a birthday present.
For me, it was Samus Returns for 3DS. $50CAD was more than I was willing to spend on it, but it was just on sale this week at EB games for $30 so I snatched it up.

I used to buy games fully priced, especially the good old ones. Cheers! You're very welcome! Keep in mind that you may need to run a search several times for games with multiple editions (ie. vanilla, limited edition, Game of the Year, etc.) since the site keeps track of each version separately. |
