Aliens: Colonial Marines is 75% off on the Steam store this weekend. It will set you back $4.99.
All of the DLC is still the regular price, but for a full game the discount should be worth the price of admission. You may be able to overlook the general poor reception of the game as well with the offer that is in place.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
that's still about 4.99 too much.
I was tempted to buy a copy at that price. I didn't though. Maybe when it drops to a pound.
If the devs can't respect the franchise, why should I?
Bought it off of GMG a month ago for 9.99 (7 and change after voucher) and it came with the Season Pass. It isn't THAT bad. Patches have helped it drastically, from what I've read. I wouldn't buy it alone for 4.99, though.
Not even if it was 95% off
Just make it free, and see how many people actually download it. I wouldn't even bother to download it after I played it lol
Also hold out. I found Duke Nukem Forever pretty much free by Black Friday when it came out.
