About €40 in total which is quite good considering most of these would have cost more that that at launch. Thats me sorted until the next sale.

Yeti Beast

I don't feel too bad even though I spent a lot of money. But after taking a break from PC gaming for a few years, I have loads of good stuff to catch up on. And there will be a new rig in about 6 weeks to play it all on.

Final tally;

Singularity
Orcs Must Die Pack

Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon
Mass Effect

Gone Home
Chivalry Deadliest Warrior

I was looking at Alice: Madness Returns but missed it at 75% off, and The Knife of Dunwall DLC for Dishonored was more expensive than the base game's sale price.

Vojera

And I'm done.

Final tally for me:

The Wolf Among Us
Transistor + OST (via Humble, same price)
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition
Castle Crashers 4-pack

The Journey Down: Chapter 1

That's about €60 in total. Considering my initial limit was €20 I can safely say I failed at Steam this year.

so many games that I will barely play.

Managed to cut my usual mad spend to less than half this year, pretty pleased with myself. Christmas should hopefully be a pretty reasonable spend too, can't think of many other games I want to buy.

Dammit why did you have to go and post that. :pac:

Had to go on gog and buy that and then ended up buying the Broken Sword collection as well. I have a serious problem. They are really great deals to be fair.

DeSelby83

has anyone played state of decay on pc. How does it play, is it full of bugs or anything like that. I heard at first it was but was supposed to be ironed out?

I played it and enjoyed it. You can tell it was originally a console game and i didn't find it played well with a m + k. Used my Xbox controller instead which works quite well.

Other than that i didn't have any issues with bugs.

ionapaul

Total for me:

Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
Rogue Legacy (Amazon.com)
Castle Crashers (gift)

Spent less than €20 in total.

MadYaker

Is far cry 3 worth a fiver?

Wossack

The ironically named 'Cant stop laughing bundle'..

sweetie

feck yeah, great sandbox game

Thinking I may grab the Xcom complete for Enemy Within. Hoping that if I buy it as a gift it'll give me each piece separate rather than all in one.

first world problems, eh!

degrassinoel

Erm, it might not, the enemy within is part of XCOM Enemy Unknown's newest patch, anyone that bought it on release just unlocked it with the key rather than download a whole new version.

It's really worth it though, adds a lot of the bells and whistles that were missing from an already awesome game.

If you're not sure, check the steam forums for XCOM itself, i'm sure that question would have been asked in the last 2 weeks or so since the sale started.

It's an obvious port, but it's a decent game, easily get a few playthroughs out of it

CastorTroy

Got Broken Age yesterday and think my final 2 games will be To the Moon and Ikaruga.

Tempted to get Ikaruga alright. Had it on GameCube back in the day, but my then flatmate broke the disc. :mad:

Krusader

What I picked up and won't ever get a chance to finish

Farcry 3
Banished
Dishonoured

Cravez

My haul this sale:
- The Walking Dead Season 2
- The Wolf Among Us
- Papers Please
- Insurgency
- Castle Crashes & Battleblock Theater bundle (was €2.29 for both for a short period!)
- Shadowrun Returns & Dragonfall DLC
- Betrayer (Suprisingly good game)
- Defy Gravity (19c, who could say no)
- Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior DLC
- Warhammer 40k Space Marine DLC

Got a few games outside of the Steam sale as well such as Watchdogs & Warhammer 40k Space Marine, then got the DLC for Space Marine in steam sale.

I was lucky that I had a €50 steam voucher for this sale

I actually got that bundle for €2.29 at one point before the price went up shortly after, they must have accidently priced it quite lower at one time and then insanely high at another. I found Steam to be very inconsistent with their pricing, almost always after new deals are up, the price always drops down after 20 minutes so anyone who bought something within the first 20 minutes did so with more expense.

Varik

Got my last game of the sale, didn't get much this time as I've got it already or on console.

Space engineers
Planetary Annihilation


Seen a few people post Planetary Annihilation, give me a shout if you're interested in playing. Already imagining a star wars mod for it.

There were a couple of other things I wanted but weren't discounted enough or didn't appear in the sale at all. Leave them for winter, I have more than enough to keep me going for the next few months.

Skyrim and KSP getting the most playtime so far. Pixel Piracy, Euro Truck and Far Cry 3 will probably never be played or played very little.

EoinHef

Fairly happy with what i got:

-Strike Vector
- Max Payne 3
-7 Days to Die
-Space Engineers
-Payday 2

-Rising Storm

Total about €45

Star Lord

I was fairly restrained:

Gone Home
Alice Madness Returns
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
The Wolf Among Us
Assassin's Creed Liberation HD

Canis Lupus

Mount & Blade with Fire and Sword (wasn't worth it.... Terrible addition to the series)
A wold Among Us: Intriguing, not played much yet though.
Spec Ops: The Line Shooty shooty
Tomb Raider which I'm enjoying.

Trying to convince myself not to get GTA4 for $5.99 I have it from 'other' sources but would mind 'owning' it on steam

The only game I regret not getting while it was deeply discounted was Alice: Madness Returns, but I'm guessing as big a discount (or bigger) will appear over Christmas.

Defo feel I've got the hang of restraining myself these days, my backlog is so vast (same as the rest of us!) and I've loads of games bought in Steam sales as far back as 2011 that are uninstalled/unplayed. Just don't feel the need to buy something I'm interested in when I know it'll be available again within a few months. It's so funny seeing something that's been out for a year at €7.49 and thinking "yeah, want to play it as some stage, sure it will be €4.99 in the next sale so no hurry"!

TheDoc

Very little temptation this sale which is disappointing.

Only purchased RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe.

Will possibly by Payday2 since a few friends play it every now and again.

Youll be missing a gem, one of the most chilled out gaming experiences ever, even better fun with a wheel.

I'm sure I'll dust off the wheel some lazy Sunday afternoon and give it a whirl, I just don't have any motivation to do it because I can't imagine how it could be any good! The reviews though... I mean there must be something I'm missing.

VinLieger

Tomb Raider
Civ 5 Brave new world expansion
Trine 2 three pack
CS:GO

Each under a tenner and should provide with hours of entrainment so pretty happy
