Honestly the best investment any PC gamer could make is to force a 2-year lag time on acknowledging PC game release dates.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:Lol if you spent less than $500 during this sale. If you've taken part in any Steam sales in the past 2-3 years then there's no reason to have spent $500 on this sale unless you're going for that lofty goal of "collecting" every single game on Steam, which is loving stupid. It's a zero-sum game because no matter how much you spend there will always be more games and they'll always be going on sale. If I had the kind of money to where I could spend hundreds of dollars every single Steam sale I'd be using my money to collect physical things like actual arcade machines.

Well, i think a level 25 Holiday Badge is high enough. Goodbye, seasonal cards.

I have like 1.50 left. I might as well make a steam badge. I'm at work though. If I buy all the cards for it can I make the badge in my browser or do I need the client installed?

Tender Bender posted:That's the way to go, if you fall behind on pc current releases it's easy to stay there. I picked up a bunch of 1-2 year old games to work through this year, looking forward to getting Alien, Shadows of Mordor, and Endless Legend for like $7.50 each in the 2015 sale!  but I was smart enough to get Endless Legend from IGN for $7 months ago

Seriously though, I used my leftover trading card money to buy Judge Dredd and from all the Steam reviews it looks like I've made a wise choice.

Downs Duck posted:Amazon and Greenmangaming (for those with reward credit left) has A Story about my Uncle for 75 OFF, and a bit cheaper than on Steam, if anyone missed it previously: Just because I bought this during the sale and while it is a very nice, pleasant, fairly simple, but overall fun first person platform/puzzle game this is about the right price to pay for it unless you're interested in speed-runs and "perfect" levels. I completed two levels in just under a couple of hours and going by the achievement list (which also concerns itself mainly with speed-runs and level challenges) there's only one more level to go, unless the game surprises me. The narrative is as simple as you can get but it works well enough to move you along and it looks and sounds good despite the lifelessness in its NPC's and not-great-but-not-terrible voice acting. Pick it up for $3.50 CDN or local equivalent and basically relax with some really easy physics platforming in a fantastical setting for 2-3 hours.

Would anyone recommend jumping right into the Don't Starve Together 2-Pack, or would it be better to get the base game first to get a taste for the game?

Sucks being unemployed during a steam sale, but on the bright side: I already own over 300 games so it's not like I needed many more anyway.

At the last minute I decided to grab Morrowind since I haven't played it since launch, and back then I didn't get the expansions. With the exception of Deus Ex and Vampire: The Masquerade I rarely replay old games, so this is going to be weird.

If you're looking to buy Nuclear Throne, make sure to check the steam trading thread instead. People, including me, are willing to trade the recently gifted copy for something else, so you'll be able to get the game slightly cheaper.

Right, I'm out. That'll do. I think that was the Steam sale where I spent the most money. I ended up with: - Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Family Edition (won it in the auctions) - Transistor - Valkyria Chronicles - Democracy 3 - LYNE - Valiant Hearts: The Great War - To The Moon - A Bird Story - Bad Rats (already 100%'d this, gifted it to 3 friends, one of which who gifted it to 5 others. The infection spreads!) I'm liking Valkyria Chronicles the most, and my only regret is A Bird Story, which was a pile of boring, saccharine crap; a real shame giving how great To The Moon was. I also leveled my Steam profile up from 40 to 50 simply and only because the blue circle looks pretty.

You can't anymore, actually -- the items have been removed from the market -- so at this point you can either craft a badge with what you've got, or turn them all into gems before they disappear entirely in an hour.

Well .. it wouldn't be a steam sale if I didn't double my total spend in the closing hours snatching up 'deals' That said .. still got out of this sale for like $70 total which was RIGHT above my sale limit price of One Random AAA Console game. Not too bad. edit: well ... I guess it's haul time.

Completely cleaned out my steam inventory, barring 1 copy of Zeno Clash and 1 copy of Bad Rats (still there for whomever wants them) Wishlist pared down from 70 items to 37. "I actually really want this" wishlist pared down from 20 to 10 (with only one real disappointment). Best steam sale yet. Xander77 fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jan 2, 2015 |

Two cool and oddball cheap games I just grabbed are Card City Nights and Dark Scavenger. Both are funny, loving tributes to their genres. Dark Scavenger is a JRPG/Choose your own adventure games and Card City is a funny TCG with a neat and solid game mechanic. Both are under 3$ and worth it for that amount.

Had to get Dark Souls II at the last minute, even though I know the mastered version will come out in a couple of months. I just loved the first one so drat much I can't wait any longer. Also picked up Retro/Grade at another's suggestion from this thread, and Dead Man's Draw, because pirates.
