YARG!!! I bought it last week for $20...should have waited

Mmm.... Sooo tempted to buy SoTS ultimate for future slow spells... I just detest having a game lying around and not playing it. Since it wont feel new when i try it then.
Oh! Solution would be to buy but not download. That way i can't sneek peek. 
YOINK!

Haha.. about a month or so back I got Mount & Blade on sale for $7.50 and I still haven't installed it to try it.

I think i played M&B on all spare time for 1 month when i got it. Awesome game.

Awesome, been holding off buying the Sword of the Stars pack, as I already owned the Original and Born of Blood, but not letting this price slip by

ahhahah! they are mean!!! the next expansion for Sword of the stars comes out in less than a week!
Now I am torn... but the ultimate edition just to have it out of date, and having to buy a prolly $9 expansion pack... or wait for the 'ultimate++' edition... either way it will prolly end up being $20ish... haha!
edit: oops, did some research... numbers changed.

Im with Annatar on this one. Slightly tempted for Sword of the Stars but even at $8 idk if would get it. I may just wait for some of the others to come back on sale.

Arg! I just bought SotS a week or so ago. Damn you, Impulse, damn you! *shakes fist*
On a side note, Evochron Legends on Impulse? Hell yes! Already own the game, but I'd love to see it get into more hands.

I'm waiting for Sacred Angel 2 to go on sale, or maybe that 20% off coupon for Demigoders.. I kinda want to play it, but I don't think it'd keep me interested long enough for the full price.

Just used my 20% coupon on Evochron/SotS... the big question is I already have SotS on Impulse, can I gift that to a friend?

You'd have to email support@stardock.com to see if they'd transfer the registration for you.

I just stumbled across this post and have a couple of questions.
I used to get an email from Stardock announcing their "Weekend Sales". Since I haven't received one for this sale, I was wondering if they still do this?
Is Sword of Stars Ultimate really on sale? When I checked the sales in Impulse, it's NOT listed. Also, when I look at its' product page, the price is listed as $7.99. It's not listed as a sale price, but as the normal price. What's the story?

I got my 20% off coupon from Demigod, but I have no idea what to get. I was thinking Sword os the Stars Ultimate (since its on sale anyway) but Impluse doesn't say what kind of game it is. It just says "strategy" Is it an RTS, TBS, or what?
Any suggestions on what to get?
Reply #17 Friday, June 12, 2009 6:45 PM
It's a blend of TBS and RTS, sort of like Total War in space. Your strategic galaxy map is turn based, and the combat is tactical (but more limited than Total War). Your best bet is to try the demo
I started reading some Prototype reviews, the previews didn't impress me that much but the reviews make it sound fun, mabe I'll pick it up.

That is just evil - SotS Ultimate was on sale last week at the excellent price of £12.50 so I picked it up. And, now, now, NOW! £6.50. 
Reply #19 Saturday, June 13, 2009 12:57 PM
Hehe I know what you mean. I still feel I got a good deal. Some have been waiting for a separate Murder of Crows to be available for those that already bought Sword of the Stars. But at this price I'd think those people would just go ahead and purchase the Ultimate Bundle to get the Murder of Crows expansion.
Reply #20 Saturday, June 13, 2009 2:47 PM
The demo now appears to be gone
I remember seeing the option when I was looking at it yesterday, but I didn't have time to DL it. Now the button is missing...
Unrelated, as anyone played Light of Altair? Is it good?
