The Winter Steam Sale 2015 thread.

Snip

Hmmm, well that sounds really interesting and for five bucks it doesn't have to be the greatest game ever. Thanks for the info.

On the topic of games worth buying Grandia II apparently got a really solid PC port earlier this year, and at 50% off that is almost certainly worth picking up for JRPG fans.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Bought Paper Sorcerer and Evil Genius from the refund money I got.
Those work fine atleast. And while Evil Genius has no support for my laptops native resolution it has the decency to have the option to play in a window.

 

[StormShaun]

I bought a few stuff.
Heck, I might buy a bit more depending on Christmas money.

Apart from that, I got...

- Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first sin.
- Killing Floor 2.
- Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor.
- The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind.
- The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
- The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim DLC.

I got two things from a good friend, Diablo1099.

- Impossible Creatures.
- Renowned Explorers: International Society

And in return I gave him two things as well.

- Killing Floor.
- Supreme Commander 2 + DLC.

A damn good haul overall, if I may say myself.

I now can add all of the DLC for Total War: Attila to that list, I can't pass up three factions in a pack for 2.75. I mean one of them lets me play as Vikings and another as Celts. I'm content.

Still haven't got GTA V yet though.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Well, the good news is I have 60 dollars on Steam now, and Undertale is only 8 dollars, so I will get it before the sale ends.

 

[mysecondlife]

I've done my steam shopping during Black Friday. I've been more of a Humble Bundle patron this winter.

I've bought:
[ul]
[li]To the Moon[/li]
[li]Out of the Park Baseball 16[/li]
[li]$1 amount of Square Enix Bundle[/li]
[/ul]

 

[Godhead]

I bought games for friends, specifically Shadow of Chernobyl and Terraria. I'm on the fence of Elite: Dangerous but that $60 DLC is making me apprehensive.

 

[Windcaler]

I bought life is strange (all of it), War for the overworld, Cities skylines, invisible inc, and deadnaught

I also got a few gifts for people. Wasteland 2 and Divinity original sin for my girlfriend, the whole fallout series for my cousin, and the secret world for my best friend

 

[DOOM GUY]

The Mean Greens: Plastic Warfare, Wasteland 2, and Killing Floor 2.

I dunno if I'm gonna get anything else, maybe ARK?

 

[pookie101]

I had a tingle down my spine and checked by Humble Bundle account to find Citizens of Earth, which I planned to buy, was already in my library. Lucked out on that one. With a Steam card I got today I grabbed Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Doorkickers, Gunpoint and Dungeon of the Endless, the last of which was at the recommendation of DoPo in this thread. I thought it was just a coincidence that the "Endless" in the title was reminscent of Endless Space but seeing that they were actually all by the same devs pushed me over to buy it. I also grabbed Galactic Civilizations II, that way I know if I want to pick up Galactic Civilizations III the next time its below $20. Rounding out to be $20.52. Not a bad haul on a gift card. I also spoiled myself early, grabbing Dead State (a game I followed since like 2010) for $9 the other day.

I'm unsure if I should pull the trigger on Tales From The Borderlands, Life Is Strange, or both. I think I'll pick up the first episode of Life Is Strange from Humble Bundle and use that to determine if I'll get it. I have heard good things about Tales From The Borderlands but I don't know if I should wait until another sale sometime in the next few months. Nine and elevent bucks for a few hours of single-player seems expensive to me. I might pick up Transistor and will probably spring for Undertale because its already at a low price and won't go much lower. Beyond Earth and Pillar of Eternity are really tempting me but I think I'll hold off on the, and while I've heard great things about Endless Legend I go more for sci-fi than fantasy myself so I don't know how much I'll enjoy of a 4X game in a setting I'm not particularly fond it when I'm only going to be playing the single player. I'll probably trawl through some old "Games you might not have played" videos from Extra Credits to see if there's any budget titles that may be worth my time.

war in the pacific admirals edition.. scariest wargame ever made for computers

Why is that? Tense atmosphere?

because it details every single ship used in the pacific and tracks every single pilot for instance. every hex is 40 miles , and every turn is a single day. so there are 1500+ turns. if you can win a campaign on realistic mode you probably were in charge of the actual pacific theatre in ww2

they just go nuts with detail to a degree that no other game ever has and i was stupid enough to buy it haha

Sounds of interest to me, but is it under that name? Because I don't see it on Steam.

ah like i mentioned in my post its only available from matrix games not steam although it might eventually make it

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Pretty boring sale for me so far

Doom II (For me)
Street Racing Syndicate (For me and my buddy's nostalgia)
Sims 3 (For my sister)
NFS Rivals but that's on origin. Got it for free through a Visa gift card. It's alright after unlocking the framerate

Thinking about Rainbow Six Siege but I'm just not sure a multiplayer only game like that will hold my interest if I'm only playing with random teammates. Anyone have some thoughts on the game?

 

[Comic Sans]

I normally try not to get things on Steam Sales since I am one of those people who a bought a ton of shit in the past and never touched it, but I had some extra money so got a few things.

-Undertale (two copies, one for me one for a friend)
-Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin
-Evolve
- Hatoful Boyfriend (gag gift for a streamer I pal around with a bit)
-Tales from the Borderlands

Some simple stuff I wouldn't have paid full price for (except Undertale) but am more than willing to buy when cheaper.

 

[1981]

I haven't bought anything yet. Read Only Memories was on my wishlist and once again I'm happy I waited. Now you can get it in a Humble Weekly Bundle for 5,08 USD (currently 4,7 euros) along with five other games when it costs 8,24 euros in the Steam Store.

Anyone played Road Not Taken? How is it compared to e.g. The Binding of Isaac?

 

[vare]

Being a bit late and unprepared to the party, I've so far only spent about 15?, or what I had remaining on paypal.

EU4 music dlc (guns, drums and steel)
kotor2, which I hoped my laptop would be able to run... It can't :c
Crypt of the NecroDancer, which my laptop can actually run. Super interesting game, spent a few hours tonight playing. I'm not a super rhythmic person though...
and Undertale. Planning to play it together with my gf later. We don't have to destroy anyone...

Crypt of the NecroDancer, which my laptop can actually run. Super interesting game, spent a few hours tonight playing. I'm not a super rhythmic person though...

I loved Crypt of the Necrodancer. Unfortunately, I apparently suck at recognising beats, so I was having a harder time than I should have. Still, I persevered and kept playing because I liked the game so much.

Add more love to Crypt of the Necrodancer. My only issue is that while I could easily groove out to the first zone, I hit the second zone music with it's 90's video game cave music sound and I think "... Oh. That's nice."

 

[Level 7 Dragon]

Got all XCom games so far.

Enemy unknown is quite fun, though the older intallments in the series are quite fiffivult to get in to due to the outdated GUIs
