    Pfft, I only bought it 25 times.

    Ah fair enough. 25 copies doesnt seem over the top at all.:pac:

    The Damage so far......


    Mass Effect 1 +2|9.99
    Napoleon Total War|6.49
    TR Anniversary| 2.49
    TR Legend|2.49
    TR Underworld|2.49
    Grand Total|€23.95

    Not bad considering I'll probably play all of them.

    This is coupled with the nice THQ bundle at the start of December.

    Boo-urns. Last day's deals don't appeal, so unless something pops up in the final flash sales, my total haul is;
    • Portal 1 & 2
    • L4D 1 & 2
    • Orcs Must Die 1 & 2 with DLC
    • Frozen Synapse Complete
    • MIITW & Kingdoms

    Not bad at all for €32.70, although I was really hoping Arkham Asylum/City would reappear.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,575 ✭✭✭NTMK


    My tally is
    Rome:Total war collection €2.74
    The Walking Dead €12.49
    Humble Indie Bundle €5.00

    Quite sale
    Being broke along with the shear amount of sales in the last 2 months mean i own most of the games that came up on sale

    ....And throw in Skyrim, which I preordered in a shop for the wall map, so we'll add it up another $50 to $1020.41 On steam, altogether.

    And looking at some of the stupid crap I've bought (Anno for over $30?!) I'm putting myself on freeze...

    Is Evochron Mercenary any good? I love open world games, but not mad on space combat type stuff.

    Gamers will have a final opportunity to get their favorite games on Steam. A select number of the most sought-after titles from the Steam Holiday Sale will reprise their biggest discounts for two additional days. The Encore Weekend begins at 10am PST on January 5th (Saturday) and runs until 10am PST on January 7th (Monday).


    ...............

    dreamers75, one thing Steam don't want people to know is that they tend to have an infinite sale that started mid week a few years ago. Every now and then they do a massive'un to make it stand out more. But there's always Weekend/Mid Week deals going on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    Don't Starve or the Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection
    ?
    Down to the last few bucks so its probably going to be one of these but can't decide Any suggestions?

    So will these be the big sellers, the public vote winners or the "Steam decides what games to put up arbitrarily"? Might top up my wallet by €20.... just in case :pac:

    It's great if you don't mind dying 2 seconds after something opens fire on you. I found it very frustrating to be honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,897 ✭✭✭MagicSean


    With Ruse now obtained I have only five items left on my wish list. Two are dlc and one is preorder.

    Bought a lot in the Steam sale, but favourite purchase so far is Sleeping Dogs.

    At the price it is at the moment it's really worth a buy if you like GTA games mixed with a bit of Yakuza.

    Got Dishonored too, along with quite a few Indie Games, so happy with my haul :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    I take it that since the flash and community vote sales are scheduled to finish at 6 o clock today that the sale ends then. Or will there be a daily deal with the most popular stuff?

    Another two days! "A select number of the most sought-after titles from the Steam Holiday Sale will reprise their biggest discounts for two additional days." What games that actually refers to remains to be seen, but the sale will officially, definitely end on Moday at 6pm.

    Has anyone used simplygames.com ? Are they fairly legit? I see they have hitman for £13. Very tempting.
