***Steam Christmas Sale 2012 (20th Dec to 4th Jan)***

Kiith

I got it on release, and really didn't like it. Was really surprised as well, as i usually love all things zombies. I got it again in the sales, and while it's better than i remember, it's still very repetitive. Would definitely be better in co-op.

How many hours of game time would be in the walking dead ?
Roughly like

20-25 hours roughly. Including all parts.

Hmmm, sounds like a lot to me. I'd say I spent about 12 on it.

FlyingIrishMan

I'd say about 15, but still well worth 12euro.

Certainly.

Probably be about 20-25 if you wanted to replay with different decisions.
Just played Episode 1 last night and took me over 2 hours

Is Natural Selection 2 worth getting for €10?

I'm not a fan of multiplayer so can't really get into it. However friends of mine play it and love it. It seems to take a fair bit to get into it but if you're into multiplayer you'll probably love its really unique play style.

If you need a fresh MP thing to play I'd say go for it. I tried NS1 a few times and its clearly got a learning curve but the potential for massive piles of fun was there. Unfortunately though I have that current niche filled with Nuclear Dawn and Planetside2, and TF2 as a fallback.

Personally love Natural Selection 2. It's a fresh look at the FPS genre, but you'll end up looking at tutorial videos before playing. Aliens in particular take some getting used to.

My final purchases on sales were:
Sleeping Dogs
Little Inferno
Ridge Racer Unbounded Bundle
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City New
Fortune Summoners
Bioshock Franchise Pack
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Dead Rising 2 Complete Pack
Cherry Tree High Comedy Club
Hotline Miami
Jet Set Radio
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Mode DLC
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
FTL: Faster Than Light
LEGO Lord of the Rings
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Darksiders Franchise Pack
Devil May Cry 4
Natural Selection II
Wargame: European Escalation
Hitman Collection


150 euro spent roughly, for 26 games. Some games I purchases on GMG over christmas instead as it worked out cheaper.

2smiggy

just:

Faster than light
XCOM

for me , i only got my PC during the summer, and i have about 30 unplayed games altogether since the summer sale !! :eek::pac:

not a big fan of it. It doesnt do minecraft as well as minecraft and it doesnt do Tf as well as TF. Less than the sum of its parts i think

I remember beta had a good buzz about it but nothing more since; I recall some complaints about the accuracy of guns or something back then.

Bought it last night, played for an hour or so. Probably won't be playing it again.

Take from that what you will.

Angron

I always imagined it as being what it looks like: a game trying to cash in on the popularity of minecraft.

Wossack

price seems a bit outlandish for it imo

one of the gripes I heard, was the relatively short round time, meaning theres no point building anything.. maybe very server dependant though


surely must be some minecraft mods with similar, if not better implementation?

for about 20 minutes steam glitched and sleeping dogs was 91% off

lol that was a glitch, i just thought it was a crazy sale. I noinked it as soon as i seen it, i wasnt going to buy it because of metacritic reviews but then 4.49 was to good to turn down.

lemon_remon

The "classic" Ace of Spades is much better than the one they have on the Steam store which is a butchered version of the original. The original was free, a good laugh and there's still some servers up here.

Only bought binding of Isaac with some change left in my steam wallet. Other than that I'm safe, only an hour left to hold out

picked it up the last day of the sale. Only installed it today and only past character creation as the servers were down for maintenabce most of the day. From what I've seen so far looks pretty good.

Fantastic little game. Can't believe I overlooked it for so long, I've spent over €120 in the sale and I can't drag myself away from it to play anything else!!

Final tally for me
Game|Price
Silent Hunter III|€3.24
I Am Alive|€5.09
Assassin's Creed|€2.49
Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition|€3.74
FTL: Faster Than Light|€4.99
Botanicula|€2.24
Half Minute Hero|€3.39
Spec Ops The Line (ROW)|€6.79
Total|€31.97


Definitely should have picked up FTL sooner. It is bloody brilliant.

Do make sure you download the GWX mod for Silent Hunter 3. It's a global mod that improves the game drastically.

Used to spend days hunting convoys in the deep Atlantic imagining I was in Das Boot

Yippee, I managed to completely avoid this thread & sale

Andy!!

So for me the tally was:

Awesomenauts (Gift)
Dota 2 (Gift)
Specs Ops: The Line (very very good game)
Tomb Raider Collection
Legacy of Kain Collection
Star Wars: KOTOR
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Complete Pack
Skyrim - Dawnguard

Not bad but not great. Would have loved to have seen Dark Souls and Dishonoured at 75%. There was nothing really 'headline worthy' like that in this sale.
