2014 Steam Winter Sale casualty report

[pearcinator]

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - $11
Deux Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut - $6
Audiosurf 2 - $10
The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition - $3

Total = $30

No regrets, worth the asking price for all of them (haven't played Witcher 2 yet but I doubt I'll feel annoyed over $3). I don't know how people can buy so many games...would you even play them?

 

[NortherWolf]

Dreamfall Chapters For about...15 Euros I think?
Age of Wonders 3 About the same.
Borderlands 2 5 Euros
Divinity: Original Sin 19.99 Euros

I can't speak for others, but most of the games I buy on Steam are fairly short (2-10 hours). I already played through five of the nine games I bought.

(captcha: change yourself

I don't wanna! D

Well. I don't have alot of time for games and I got a ton of games already in steam to play so buying something I want like Wasteland 2 would be pointless. BUUUUUUUUUUT! As I was scanning through the sales I Noticed a game I'd never heard of and looked like something I hadn't seen done that way before. Graviteam Tactics. A WWII RTS done faithfully realistically with multiple tactical levels. and it was normally priced at like 20 bucks and another 15 for each of its DLC and it was down by like 85 and 90 percent so I got 3 dlc packs and the game itself for less then 10 dollars on the last day. So it was good I suppose.

EDIT: It makes Company of heros looks so arcadie and silly.

its an incredible game and definitely a hardcore wargame, the maps are huge and it can sometimes take 20-30 minutes before you even find the enemy (stumbling through a forest with a company of little pixeltroopen and running into enemy soldiers point blank makes for some vicious little fights), basically the game is built on a ww2 tank simulator engine so all vehicle movements, penetrations are realistic in the extreme

The only thing that I purchased was Hero Siege for about $1.49 or so. Had been looking at it for a few months but god, I should have watched some gameplay first (you think I would >.>).

But yeah, most of the AAA releases recently have not interested me in the slightest. Half of them have been terrible ports, badly optimised or just plain not-great games. The Australian prices have been particularly terrible of late also....

When Civ: Beyond Earth hit it's highest discount here, it was *still* $59.99 - I mean, WTF?
Far Cry 4 I will probably pick up at some point this year, but it will need to be cheap as chips...

Anyway, Elite: Dangerous was another reason I spent bugger all (my god that has scratched one hell of an itch)

 

[CounterReproductive]

Casualty ? My pride. You try explaining to your bank manager about the Steam holiday Sale....

 

[Deathlok]

Sadly, there wasn't a whole lot of decent titles to choose from that I didn't already have. I did pick up a few though-

Telltale Game of Thrones
Shadows of Mordor
Wasteland 2

Far Cry 4- bought this thru Amazon.

Overall, pretty disappointed with the sales. Used to be Steam sales were something to really look forward to but with the proliferation of other sites, it definitely isn't what it used to be.

 

[ultrabiome]

This year, although everything on my wishlist was on sale, nothing close to what I would actually pay for them (Borderland Pre-Sequel and Civ:BE - you're too expensive for your blandness).

Except Galactic Civilizations II for $5. I'm already sucked in...

 

[Silvanus]

I bought both FFVIII and FFXIII. I know I'll love VIII, and I want to experience one of the newer ones to see whether I disagree with everyone else about how awful it is. Maybe I'll love it, as I did FFX.

Bloody hell, though, 49 gigs?! Is that really necessary?

 

[Blue_screen]

Well, I got:

- Bioshock Infinite;
- Shadowrun returns;
- Tomb of the Necrodancer;

All for about $20 plus I was gifted I am Bread, pretty neat.

Fract OSC (auction 3300 gems or 3-4 dollars)
Battleblock theatre
CSGO

[cthulhuspawn82]

I was too cheap to buy anything. I'm hoping the games I want (Shadows of Mordor and Divinity:Original Sin) will be cheaper in the summer sale. Dark Souls 2 having mandatory PvP also saved me some money.

 

[Erttheking]

Causalities were light, but I still got

To the Moon

Endless Legend.

Dungeon of the Endless

Shadow Gate

The Long Night.

Also Xenonaughts on GOG.com

Yay for conversion rates.

 

[NuclearKangaroo]
