Steam Summer Sale, G&K (only) 10% off, rest of Civ5 50% off.

hi guys, need your advice. I own Civ V vanilla and am planning on snatching G&K in the next week.

Since G&K already comes with 8 new civs, do you think it's worth it to buy all the other CIV V DLC that's currently on sale? Thanks.

Good question.
Personally I'd get WOTAW (maybe in the combo-pack with Korea), but that's probably because I'm very used to the wonders.

As for the rest of the DLC: The maps aren't really worth it, so that leaves a few civs.
Check them out, see if you like something about them (ability/unit/scenario) that you'd want to buy them. If not, no harm done.
But the DLC aren't essential in any way (even the wonders), so you could just ignore them.

I never got the dlc civs but could not resist this I got every civ except for the inca, as I already have spain (it came with god and kings expansion) and I got the anchant wonders korea pack. These dlc civs along with the new civs from gods and kings are awsome. I also picked up 4 other games all this has only cost me around 35.00 I love this steam sale, should have enough games to keep me busy for the rest of the year.

With the 50% off, I got the only DLC is was missing (Inca/Spain). Still overpriced for anyone who has G&K as you're really only getting one civ (Inca).

Yeah, if nothing else the Korea/WOTAW combo pack is well worth it.

G&K is back down to 10%, so I guess it was part of the flash deal after all, or only slightly longer. So either I'll be glad I picked it up when I did, or slightly annoyed when it's suddenly 33% off in the daily deals within a few days.

 

[anandus]

And there's another flash sale up

People should stop complaining about those DLC prices, there's nothing wrong with them considering the time you can spend playing with them. I remember years ago that I had to pay € 67,95 for Playstation 2 games, which was the lowest price for those that were recent. Some like The Sims were even over € 70,-. That includes games which you could have finished in day. Now that was expensive. I still find it a mystery how it is possible that the next generation is way cheaper.

[Ihmemies]

I wish G&K was cheaper. It's dirt cheap on Amazon so why Steam can't put it on -75% for a moment at least

 

[GrayingGamer]

G&K is the only exception at 25% off.

I finally picked up a few of the new leader DLCs.

Moderator Action: Merged with the main thread.

Thanks, I just finally got a Korea and wonders of the ancient world. Luckily enough it was a bundle and it only cost £1.11. Cheaper than a bottle of coke.

 

[anandus]

15 minutes left!

Edit:
Oh, another 12 hours. I forgot that daily deals go for 36 hours, not 24.

Thanks for the tip!
