PC Gaming - Black Friday

[steelodon]

Do you think there will be great deals for PC gamers on Black Friday? I am waiting to see what Quantum Break and Rise of the Tomb Raider will cost through Microsoft on that day. We are seeing so many great deals for console gamers right now.

You shouldn't get Quantum Break on the Windows store. It performs worse than the DX11 port on Steam and the dev has said they're abandoning the UWP version of the game.

Does Steam usually have a sale on BF? Or is it just the fall sale only?

Steam is rumoured to be having a sale starting the 23rd

The best Steam sales will be at the end of this year for the Winter Sale. It generally lasts a week or two and will have thousands of games up to 75% off. Brand new games will usually see 33% to 45% at best and most other games will be at least 50% off. Then you have sites like GoG, GMG, and CDKeys.

Lets also not forget that the following Monday is called Cyber Monday for a reason...

Rise of Tomb Raider is 50% off. Not bad. Do you think it will be lower by the end of the year?

Usually sale prices by about October or later are the same prices as the Christmas sale.

I wish buying everything else was as easy as picking up PC games during the holidays. I expect plenty of "deals" during this time but how they compare to past deals is a question mark.

OP - if you can, you may want to change the Thread Title, I think you have to edit it up around the top somewhere.

 

[cbrunny]

GMG has there's up too.

I'm hoping to pick up XCOM2 around $20 this weekend. I know Amazon had it below $25 a few weeks back.

Origin also has a Black Friday sale going on now...
Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY for $15 (lowest was $20 before) is a pretty good deal, they got other stuff as well.

 

[Yakk]

Was looking for some DA:I DLC, guess I'll be picking up a GOTY copy.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

In a few minutes Gabe's steamy goodness should be in our faces

 

[cbrunny]

yeah sale is on. haven't checked it yet though.

looks decent. looks like a straight up sale, no gimmicks. not even daily deals?

EDIT: Well I had no idea Bethesda had ended the skyrim SE promo. Definitely bought & refunded all dlc. screw that.

Gears of War 4 is on sale on the Windows 10 Store for $35.99. Worth it?

 

[AgentUnknown]

There PC player base doesn't play it compared to X1.

 

[AgentUnknown]

Doom for $20? Not bad. I think it can be lower.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Red Storm Rising, do people still play it, will finding a mostly full server be a problem?

Picked up Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Was $5 and some change on GMG with the 10% coupon.

This game wasn't optimized for PC well. It didn't run good on my system.

Will give it a whirl tomorrow. Looked at some quick benchmarks before purchase and didn't seem too bad. Know some settings will need to be turned down to get 60fps, and sli doesn't work, as usual with id games. Did see a guide for some tweaks to the cfg/ini files to hopefully make things better.

If not, oh well.

I'm interested in the single player for the shooting galleries and set pieces and pretty graphics, not really interested in multiplayer.

Best Buy price matched amazon on BF1 for $29.99 w/free shipping. Went to check out and Best Buy was like 'here's $15 in coupons'. Final price? $16.19. yay

They supplied the coupons for BF1? Last I checked my local Best Buy, they refused to price match anything online.
