Does this game go on sale often?

[Alpacalypse]

I'm considering picking up Starbound, as I'm completely burnt out on Terraria. However, I think 15 bucks is too much an asking price. How often does Starbound go on sale, and is it worth it even when not on sale?

"its not worth full price, but get it when its on sale i guess, i dont really like it that much as a player who has played almost 2 full playthroughs of the game and 2 or so playthroughs of terraria i can say terraria is FAR better ever sense the combat update, anyway heres my review which is accurate to gladd girrafe aka the combat update aka the latest update http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198020845329/recommended/211820/"

I know that Terraria is better. I've just played it so much that I'm sick of it. I need something new.

"its like a discount terraria thats being sold for more that terraria, its a change i suppose and its probably the closest thing to terraria i know of so if you decide to get it then wait for sale and be sure to check out alot of reviews"

Do not post on behalf of your banned friend. His review is available for all to read. If you are going to post, please do so by presenting your own opinions. Right now, all you are doing is spamming your friend's review, and pulling quotes from it that aren't related to, or aren't helpful to the threads you are posting them in.

Continuing this behavior will result in a ban for spamming and bypassing filters.

The game goes on sale via Humble Bundle pretty often, but uncommonly through Steam.

If you have nothing to do buy this game, however if you have fun things to do it can wait. This game is like wine, it gets all better with the updates. (Of course u may want to play nightly updates as well)

Yeah, well, XCOM 2 is coming out in 3 days, so I guess I'll give it a miss unless I can find it on Humble Bundle.

Well, I'd say, this game actually is worth its money. Picked it up a long time ago when it was released on Steam and played a solid 40-50 hours straight; have been coming back to it after every major update, too, and have played around 200h thus far. That, of course, depends on whether or not you enjoy the sandbox aspect of the game - unfortunately, there's far less "sense of progression" than there was back in Terraria.

First, Izzabelle's right, and you should neither "represent" other people here on the Forums, nor should you flat out spam discussions with this review (which, by the way, is a debatable review at that), and second, playing this game the same way Terraria is played (as in, measuring it in "Playthroughs") - is doing it a great disservice: unlike Terraria, this is, first of all, a Sandbox game. It is not about just grinding for better weapons and then killing the boss - it's all about exploration, about creativity and so on. It's more like Minecraft: you can force your way through all the content by only focusing on progression, you can kill the Dragon and get your happy little ending, but that is not something you're supposed to do. Also, a little thing one can do when he's bored with the core game itself is to find a Roleplay server (such as the Galaxy Citizen) and indulge in some more social interaction.

I will probably get banned for this for some BS reason, but I am gonna do it anyway.

but what if their opinions are the same? does the opinion of one invalidate the opinion of someone else just because they are similar? if anything, it should make the opinion MORE valid. I agree with most of the review as well, am I now forbidden to say so?

OP asked if the game was worth it if on sale. Agus♥ほのか then posted an excercept form a review which is very much related. OP probably didnt see the review yet, so posting it makes perfect sense.

I could not find any recent similar posts by Agus♥ほのか, so I dont see how they are spamming.
filter bypassing is completely wrong. a filter is a thing that turns swearwords into hearts, at least in the steam forums. it also prevents the clicking of some phishing links, but thats it. there is no filter preventing the posting of legitimate review links.
you might be able to argue that this friend was circmventing the ban, but Agus♥ほのか is another person who chose to post what they posted as they agree with it, maying it their opinion too.

Classic example of a mod trying to strongarm someone into submission by making stuff up and using fancy-talk.

It's not on sale right now, so I'd advise you to stay away until it drops to like 8.99.

also terraria sucks big balls

[Cold Star]

It is not on sale and there will probably no big sales until release. Devs told one day that they don't want to sell the game cheap while it is in EA so they didn't have lots of angry users who don't know that the wasn't released yet. My advice is to wait until release anyway.

I see it on sale a lot in the humble bundle store. When I see it it's usually around 20-30% off I think? As far as worth it I think so. 15$ for 200 hours definitely made me satisfied. BTW That "review" that people are talking about is not even a review. It is literally a list of all the things the kid wants to cry about. It is shameful that anyone would think that it is read worthy. Please don't take the list of complaints to heart OP, it is biased.

so according to you, all reviews need to praise the game to be reviews?
dont you realise that is not only horrendously biased, but you are also trying to silence an opinion?
no, of course you wouldnt. self-reflection is impossible for whiteknights.
