Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Square Enix - Really doesn't want the Wii U Deus Ex Directors Cut to sell - £3.25 for the full game (Steam code) direct from their store £13 RRP was bad enough but 75% off that price is crazy.

I have bought Magical Drop V (Not buggy at least anymore).

Gifted my brother a copy of The Chaos Engine so theoretically we can play co-op.

If I didn't have most of it I certainly would have bought the Sonic Hits Collection for £9.99 (Just Generations and All Stars Racing Transformed are worth more than that to me each).

I didn't get too much this time. I mostly spent my money on PS3 and Wii games.
I got Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Rouge Legacy.

Also make sure to check out the Humble Weekly sale, they've got some great games this week.

Got Final Fantasy 7! It was totally not what I was expecting, in both good and bad ways

I'll refrain from buying too much since I already have quite a bit in the library, although the sale prices are surprisingly good this time 'round!

Think I'll pick up Batman: Arkham City GOTY next.

Ended up getting Poker Night 1 and 2. Didn't have much change on me, but I'm happy.

The Humble Jumbo Bundle is going on now, it's definitely one of the best bundle so far

If anyone is interested, I have a coupon for 20 percent off Velocity Ultra.

The christmas sale is upon us

^Nice. Ah man, Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition is $14.99.

GTA Complete Pack looks really tempting now ($24.99), since my copies of GTA lll, San Andreas, and Vice City for the PS2 doesn't work anymore. And I miss playing them for awhile now.

During the winter sale,I have purchased:
-Sid Meier's Civilization V
-XCOM:Enemy Unknown
-Sleeping Dogs
-Paranautical Activity
-Legend of Dungeon
-Q.U.B.E.
-BioShock
-BioShock 2
-BioShock Infinite
I'm ready to buy some more after Christmas when I get some money.Either that or more Wii U games.

@Swiket: Thanks.

Just for today? Because that's how long Steam will probably be down for.

Not that I'm complaining - I already have it, but I just recommended a friend snap it up.

Well I guess this explains why Steam is down.

It baffles me that it needs to be completely installed before the end of the day :/

I wonder if Valve considered the traffic load which millions of Steam users all downloading a 15GB game would give to their servers.

Also would anyone recommend KoF XIII? FFVIII? Rising Storm?

It doesn't actually. Just click the 'Install Game' button while logged in and it will say 'This game has been added to your account'. Installing it afterward is then optional.

I've heard KOFXIII runs great on PC. I've read some negative reviews, but they're from pc elitists who don't normally play fighting games and demand that every game be made to appeal to western aesthetics and have tons of graphical options...otherwise they had nothing but good things to say.

I don't recommend Final Fantasy VIII in any form.

I have not played Rising Storm, but its been getting positive reviews for its realism.

Bought Gone Home, Runner2 with soundtrack and 30 Flights of Loving.

The only reason I'm interested in FFVIII is because it's so darn divisive, and I tend to enjoy those titles for what they are. Plus I hear it's a coming of age story, which is nice. If I ever answer the question of whether I want to learn another fighting game, I'll then have to choose between KOF and Skullgirls on my PC, so perhaps I'll just lay off that genre for a while.

My games I got for this sale are Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons, Antichamber, Dust: an Elysian Tail, and The Dream Machine. The only ones I've tried so far are the Dream Machine, which is a interesting stop motion point and click game, and Antichamber which I can't really describe except to say it's a puzzle game.
