    Not sure if R.U.S.E. was any use...? Although it's not discounted at the moment.

    My tally this time around:

    Steam

    Serious Sam 3 -€5.99
    Alan Wake Bundle - €8.99

    Amazon

    Tantalizing THQ Medley - $4.99 (only got this for Red Faction: Armageddon and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, have all the rest and will just give away the codes)
    Dark Souls - $14.99
    The Walking Dead - $7.49 (incl. $5 coupon)

    GMG

    Civ V: Gods & Kings - €4.49
    Crusader Kings II - €7 (incl. 30% code)

    I spent more than I thought I would but was still somewhat restrained, there were some good deals for items on my wishlist but I know I'll get them again in future sales. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I have unplayed games from each and every Steam sale for the past few years, so really shouldn't be buying anything anymore - just can't help myself though!

    Just FTL at a fiver for me. Previous sales and assorted Indie bundles really cut down what I wanted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,546 ✭✭✭Downlinz


    Got:

    Football Manager 2013
    Alice: Madness Returns
    Alan Wake Bundle
    Recettear
    Plants Vs Zombies
    Civ IV collection
    Sim City 4 Deluxe
    Sleeping Dogs (91% off edition)

    for 60 euro, pretty happy. Got what I wanted out of it.

    I'd have liked a good deal (75%) on Bully:Scolarship Edition but not to be, or if it did turn up I missed it.

    how did you spend roughly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Surprised myself, all I've bought is the Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition Bundle, two copies...

    Famous last words, I've added Arkham City GOTY and Saint's Row: The Third The Full Package to this...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,087 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    I've actually stopped thinking of these sales as sales and more of a tax for gamers. I don't know whether it's my willpower or lack thereof but I just can't stop myself.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34



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


    how did you spend roughly?

    If i were to guess id say £100-150 in sterling. Doesnt help that i have a visa debit card that makes it way too easy. I had managed to save a good bit of money for the sale so im not in the poorhouse yet.

    I did try and avoid paying for any games that were over a tenner unless it was something i really wanted.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,197 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith

    It's all right I've found. Not the best zombie game around, but I've played about 12 hours so far, and it's kept my attention pretty well.


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


    Played it when it first came out and wasn't blown away by it. Its ok ,just noting you'll be talking about in years to come.
