Links, did you find those bundles by accident, or are Steam advertising them somewhere on the store's home page?

It was posted on Reddit

Just grabbed...

SOMA
Outlast
Project Cars
Dark Souls and
Age of Empires 2 + DLC

All less than €50, that'll do for a start

Links234

I'm debating whether to get Shrouded in Sanity now, or wait.

I also want to get SOMA, but think I'll wait until the end of sale.

Kiith

Very tempted by Invisible, Inc. and Salt and Sanctuary.

Is the steam version censored?

No. I believe only the German and Australian versions are censored. Possibly, console versions too.

Abortions and Nazi Zombie Baby Fetuses everywhere!

It's worth keeping an eye on this Reddit thread; Steam Sale 2016 Hidden Gems Thread

I got a few nice suggestions from it;
LucasArts Adventure Pack - €2.24
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - €2.49
Platformer Bundle - €0.83

pawrick

Well that's me sorted for the weekend

Hearts of Iron 4 (bought it outside of steam since they didn't reduce it price)
Tropico 5 with all the DLC
some DLC for crusader Kings 2

happy enough with that haul for now since nothing i really wanted / have time to play dropped much in price

So far;
The Last Leviathan
Rocksmith 2014 & some of the tracks
Also Apex for ARMA3

And this is only the first day? The future is brokeness

i got that aswell with the declined cc thing ugh !

If anyone plays warframe, they have 50% on the steam packs so you can get the 100 euro on for like 50ish which is like a **** tone of in-game cash.

Bought it and then got the 75% voucher for my daily and well....



It all happened so fast!

EoinHef

Dam thats a lot of plat!!

Sold my graphics card yesterday in preperation for an upgrade,anything i buy ill have to wait to play:(

I am tempted by Sub Nautica,been on my wishlist awhile and has a decent discount. Other than that not much jumping out at me right now. Those bundles look interesting though,will have to have a look through them when i get a chance.

75% plat discount voucher for a daily login reward. Reasonably rare but lets you buy plat packs at 75% off from Devs. Id say they bought a pack in steam sale too. Near 6000 is a lot of plat!

Kirby

Ooh this looks good! and 50% off! Add to cart.

"You already own this game"

Bloody embarrassing tbh.

Yep I bought the lighting pack at 50% off and then logged in and got the 75% off voucher from my daily reward. First time getting it but I don't think I will ever need any more plat :P

Always worth buying a bit of plat with the 75% off imo,just takes a bit of the grind out of the game.

Pretty sweet when its that highly discounted too:)

If anyone is thinking of getting a Sonic game, check out the HumbleBundle; tenner for a load of the Sonic titiles.

Happened to me when trying to buy Gunpoint

Looking at this; http://store.steampowered.com/app/425720/

Can I use my Android phone, or what's the cheapest VR thing on the market?

Is that not only for HTC Vive sets?

Skerries

yeah it says you need the Vive and the controllers

Noxin

Darkstar one at 1.49 is not bad. It's a good little space sim if not a bit old now.

The Big One - 21 Games for €3.15

All RPGMaker rubbish by the looks of it. Don't do what i did a couple of years ago and buy a bunch of terrible stuff cheap just because it's cheap

ShadowHearth

Hotline Miami 2 - Thank you very much. Only 4 quid, saved money I will use for LSD, but from playing so far, The music and game itself kind off makes LSD not needed. :pac:

Just browsed through my queue, received the notfication about the card, but nothing's new in my inventory? Are the card drops fecked?

Same happened to me last night with two of them, they showed up eventually.

I haven't bought anything so far but Invisible Inc. and its expansion and i used money from selling cards to buy that with about 3 quid left over.

Cheapo Steam key-selling websites have sort of ruined Steam sales for me. I can get most titles cheaper on launch day than they will be on Steam sales until their 3 year after release.

This Fat Girl Runs

Finally got a chance to look at what's on sale. Not much tempting me but I think I'll pick up Prison Architect, Darkest Dungeon and Tomb Raider. I'll have to wait for payday though!

Andrew76

Picked up these so far:

Enter the Gungeon €11.99
Ninja Senki DX €0.99

super_furry

Invisible Inc for 6,79 seems a good deal. Not sure if it's something I'll be into but for that price I can talk a risk and Austin Walker raved about in on the Giant Bomb game of the year podcast.

So are there daily deals to come or is what's there, what stays for the lenght of the sale?

Flight From Death

Disappointed with Grand Theft Auto V only getting a 40% reduction again. Was hoping for at least 75% seeing as it's almost 3 years old. Not sure if its worth 35.99 after already playing it on the 360. What's the online community like these days?

It isn't.

I have picked it up for €20 something euro on another key site a few months ago.

Here you go €26.99. Not the Steam version but that makes no difference.

Awesome game, but if you don't think it's something you'd be into, don't get it just because it's on sale. Or failing that, buy it and play it immediately to see if it's your kinda thing and if you don't like it then refund it.

There'll be more highlights, but the prices remain static for the sale, unless any publishers decide to change things.

ahnowbrowncow

Is this as good as it gets or will there be further reductions as the sale goes on? Most games have had larger price reuctions in the past so it's a bit underwhelming.

Is there any way to instantly sell items without the steam authenticator?

What you see is what you get now. The daily discount model is gone.

WarZoneBrother

Purchases so far:

Depth
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Catch Me
Bloodgate (89cent and supposed to be good according to a friend)

These games where ridiculously cheap with bundles:

Spaceport Hope
Gun Rocket
Airspace The Fall of Gravity
Marble Mayhem: Fragile Ball
Rolling Sun

Will buy the Steam Controller + The Talos Principle for €43 I think considering it only an extra €5 for the game, although I don't know if it has been bundled or not.

Mainly purchase the cheap games for card drops, as usually they pay for themselves..

Kiith

Anything decent today? Still in work so can't see.

Same as yesterday, the deals don't change any more.

Patser

Bought a nice little WW2 strategy game called The Few.

Decent but tricky, still only €2.50

do they have steam cards? if so that plus running them for cards and reselling will probably net you some cash

Sir, I applaud your excellent taste in games. good hunting.

Finished with my purchases.

Bought Cossacks DLC for EU4
Fran Bow
Firewatch
Armello
Invisible Inc

Put aside the fact that you will buy games that you probably wont even download, let alone play. This is such an over hyped "sale", most of the games could be purchased cheaper through the usual key re-sellers day in day out.

What I usually do is drop the games that I am considering into my Steam wishlist and then use http://www.allkeyshop.com to check the reseller sites to see if I can do better.

So many times I was going to purchase this game, so many times I passed... Now that it has marketable items I could not pass !

So, played the first level of Party Hard. I set a rug on fire, the fire department showed up, then I cut down a tree outside the house which crashed into the window sending shards of glass flying and killing all the firemen in the room. I nearly pissed myself laughing! 10/10 would murder first responders again. :pac:

Yeah, the shine is off the apple a bit for me as well.

Sale prices being more expensive than literally any key seller since day one kind of ruins it a bit.

Card money gets spent on things that key resellers don't have and that's about it.

Links234

By the way, Party Hard 75% off - €3.22

I was actually going to buy this a couple of weeks ago for about €6, glad I waited.
