rowech -> Any other Matrix Sales Dates? (1/28/2009 12:23:38 AM)

I wussed out on buying one during the holiday sale...after convincing myself TOAW would be a good game for me, I'm wondering if Matrix typically has other sales throughout the year or if it's pretty much a one time shot at the holidays.

They got the occasional Blitz Sale (or something similar in name) where for a very short period one or a couple of games are on sale, but apart from that it's just the yearly holiday sale.

You could ask yourself if saving like $10 really is worth it given that you're after TOAW - a game with literally hundreds of hours of gaming goodness.

The next planned sale is the Holiday Sale at the end of this year. But we do generally do a few Blitkrieg sales on individual products over the course of the year. I can't even predict these though and they only cover a small fraction of our titles each year, so I wouldn't suggest waiting for one.

Regards,

Not a real wargamer or I'm sure I could convince myself easily...little worried I buy it, can't get into it, and it sits on the computer.

I know exactly what you mean. I have many games I have purchased and uninstalled shortly after trying them out.

But you will never know until you try. I suggest following a friend's recommendation whose tastes in wargames are similar to your own as to whether to buy a particular game or not.



Marauders -> RE: Any other Matrix Sales Dates? (1/28/2009 11:36:46 PM)

The Holiday Sale is still up on the banner.

It ended January 7th.

Don't you hate that? I have a bunch of titles like that. Sometimes years later I break them out and actually play them but sometimes they never get finished. I finally finished Knight of the Old Republic 2, recently. I had it for about 2 years.

Matrix also gives you discounts if you buy a game that is in the same series of games, I got the "Panzer Command" games and the "Battleground" games that way.[:)]

Grell

Oh, the scrolling banner on top - yeah, that just lists the latest X announcements. If you were to click on it, it would tell you the sale is over as Maestro quoted above.

Matrix games tend to sit on my computer longer than any other games. It isn't that I play them more, in fact, I am always saying "I should play that and learn it more" it is just that I "collect" them to have a wargaming backlog (then play something silly like Dwarf Fortress). The way I see it, I have my wargaming all set when I get the urge. Sure, I need to sit down and really get into some of them (GG:WBtS, CoG, GoA, TOAW) and some of them I have played for many hours (Advanced Tactics). Still, when you can always come back to them - because the graphics are not (nor should be) "top-of-the-line," these games are suprisingly long-lasting and hardly ever go "out of date." So I have no problem keeping these games on my hard drive, to play or to save to play.

Only a few games did I not enjoy at all. Most notably Empire in Arms and Uncommon Valor. This was really a lack of familiarity with the UI and the system rather than being bad games. Otherwise, I have bought tons of Matrix games with few regrets.
