    Still waiting for a discount on Alien: Isolation for Windows. If it's not in this one I feel like it's not going to happen.
    Not going to happen my man,

    I waited so long for Final Fantasy 10 and 12 to go on sale after they were removed from Gamepass and it hasn't happened, bit the bullet and just bought them.

    Same goes for Darksiders 3 and Darksiders Genesis.
    Getting there for me on the console versions of FF13-2 and LR...and for that Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance recent game (yes, it sucks, but I started it when it was on Game Pass), Library of Ruina, and the first Attack On Titan (got it on disc, but I've started gettin' real lazy and don't want to switch discs).

    Is there any reason at all to think these discounts will be better than Black Friday?
    Given that Black Friday sales are normally just repeats, no reason to delay a purchase until then.
    Say everything with a smile

    "My Bakery" in the window's sale - seems a little off theme!

    Windows sales are very disappointing again...
    If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

    That really depends what they’re baking into those meat pies, now doesn’t it? wink

    Small point on ‘Sherlock Holmes The Awakened’ - the game link takes you to the standard edition which is not on sale, however the price button takes you to the Deluxe Edition which is on sale for £14.99

    Although you can also buy it for £10.34 in the Detective Reborn bundle -

    Awesome. What better time to have a discount on Graveyard Keeper? Oh wait...it didn't make the sale. Perfect.
    I'd also like to know why DR4 Deluxe used to go on sale every other week for like $8 and now that I got a few achievements while it was on GP it hasn't been on sale for years.

    I like Spiders games but I just picked up GreedFall (Windows) on an earlier sale. I intend to stack it with the Xbox version before playing Steelrising.

    The only games that I want to get on the shocktober sale is maybe the fatal frames games...besides that none of the games on the list interest me.

    Banishers for me, then only Jusant left on my list from Dontnod. Still need to play Vampyr on this profile 🤦‍♂️ and still wish we'd see some more Remember Me
    I believe Remember Me was part of the non BC Xbox 360 sale earlier this year before the 360 store closed. I remember buying it on sale for a few bucks.

    I know, I commented to recommend it to people that hadn't played it; love that game so much and it's the reason I follow Dontnod so closely. I'd love a remaster or sequel. Vampyr was also awesome and Banishers looks great (though it will be a few months in my backlog), and still need to buy Jusant. Not interested in the Life is Strange formula anymore, as I still need to find it in myself to finish The Walking Dead, Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us etc and I'm all burned out on it. Also Lost Records doesn't look like my cup of tea.

    Apparently Jusant and Banishers sold below expectations so they had to lay off their employees.

    They should have just made a sequel to Vampyr which is their best selling game. I enjoyed playing Vampyr myself.

    That's a real shame, but ultimately not surprising, especially in the 'climate' we live in. They're the sort of company that up until Banishers, I would buy day one or pre-order; their games are subjectively good and I would take the chance on a company willing to take the risk on building new IPs. Ultimately I loved Remember Me the most and have completed it on at least three profiles. I'll get to Vampyr soon (the only game my sister-in-law has 100%'d), but I think Code Vein will come first once I knock out the last DLC on FFVX.

    Also, it's not a sleight on Banishers that I only just bought it; of all the reviews I've seen except for a couple that should be ignored, there's nothings below 4*. Even without reviews, it was always on my to-buy list. Love the company as a whole (though I don't know of any 'politics') and wish to support them in the future.

    finally got 11-11 memories retold and Vertigo after I missed the last big discount. now it's cheaper than usual. wonder what games that's not on Game Pass should I get?
    Say NO to overpriced DLC, Season Pass and definitely NO to microtransactions.
