((( My Steam ID in case you have suggestions: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Palpek/ ))) ((( Use IsThereAnyDeal to track the deals of your Steam wishlist on all the sites everywhere forever. ))) ((( Talk to Steam goons on IRC: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3844067 )))  Welcome to the X-Mas Sales 2017 Thread. Just like during the summer this thread exists in order to gather all the discussion ignited by game sales ANYWHERE. Origin counts too. As for Steam itself: it has no daily deals anymore so what's on the wall the very first day is what we're getting AND cross-region gifting is pretty much dead now because of Valve's restrictions.  Sites with deals on Steam games:
Stores with non-Steam game deals:
Recommendations: there are goons that do write-ups on various games:My personal recommendations this year: Prey(Arkane's take on System Shock) and Assassin's Creed: Origins(Ubisoft's take on TW3/HZD). Game sales I'm looking forward to: Night in the Woods, Hellblade, Wolf 2, Cuphead. I'll probably expand this later.

Uh.... no. porpentine's games aren't like that. The violence in Cyberqueen has a point to it, and it's certainly not how you're describing it.

Maybe it's a bit too specific and niche, but the Oculus store is having a winter sale that started a few days ago and ends January 2nd: https://www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-winter-sale/ Bunch of things on discount, daily deals, and there seem to be three main packs (green, red and purple) that are nice bundles of popular games that tweak the price if you already have some games in the pack. Seems to be a respectable sale, but some items like Onward and Serious Sam games can be found cheaper on Steam until the 21st (and maybe beyond for the Steam Winter Sale).

Even if its 10% I hope its more but highly doubtful considering its a massively popular game and is already less than many of the other big names this year.

A lot of people are getting 25% off PUBG vouchers from Green Man Gaming. If you have an account check the 'vip' section.

Looks like Blizzard sales are up. Nothing particularly special outside of maybe the Destiny 2 discount. Looks like it's time for me to finally grab D3..

Necromancer for D3 is reduced to 9.99 on PC. On PS4 it's still 15€ because it's in psn instead of the blizzard store it seems. Meh.

Another site to keep track off is for Steam games Fanatical https://www.fanatical.com/ Its a re-branding of one website that I can't remember right now. They are currently doing a Star Deal game every 24 hours/as long as keys last thing. Right now the Star Deal is Battlefleet Gothic Armada for 75% off.

Hi everyone. I didn't play enough 2017 games to warrant a massive downpour of Top List posting like last year's thread, but I will do a couple of recommendation posts once sales are really hot and heavy. The most important thing is: Get Monolith

https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/steamworld/steamworld-heist/standard-edition It might be worth waiting a day, to see if the steam version price matches, but Steamworld Heist is on sale for 3.75 on the Origin store at the moment. A true gem of a game for anyone who hasn't played it yet

i kind of went to bat for Civ VI in the video games deals thread having put 600 hours into V but i reckon if you've never played a civ before then eighteen clams for the nicest looking new one isn't really a bad intro even if V feels, understandably given its expansions, More Complete e: ^that
