Damnit. Moved house yesterday. No broadband for 5 more days. Argh!

Why would you need it? No one downloads and installs the games.

We just buy them.

 

[Noaloha]

Is this info legit, is there going to be a sale or are we being hopefully?

The Holiday Sale 2014 Badges are up on Steam (can see them in your Badges section) and I'm noticing that they're popping up on the Marketplace also.

The Holiday Sale 2014 Badges are up on Steam (can see them in your Badges section) and I'm noticing that they're popping up on the Marketplace also.

Also, a couple of days ago it said on the holiday auction page that the Holiday Sales start on the 18th. They've removed it for some reason though.

EDIT: No, it's still there.

The Auction runs 15 Dec @ 4:45pm to 18 Dec @ 7:00pm when the Holiday Sale begins.

it is official:

EDIT: beaten

 

[MisterM]

Transistor, I will have you.

 

[bengraven]

I thought the auctions had replaced this.

 

[Tabby]

And I just got my new rig as well! Perfect timing.

 

[Khrno]

it is official:

EDIT: beaten

Sorry what time zone are those times? It says Dec 18th 10 AM PST on the top left, but in the text it says 8:00 PM.

8:00 PM where? Or does it start in 3 hours, going by the PST time?

Pacific time, correct

 

[CyanideFuse]

I believe it is 3 hours from now.

 

[Windom Earle]

Hopefully not as terrible as the last one.

 

[Khrno]

Cool thanks, just in time when I come back from lunch.

Hopefully not as terrible as the last one.

The fall sale was horrible, none of my wishlist games hit 75%, hope a couple of them do it this time.

 

[dantevsninjas]

Any guesses on what the additional "give us money" treadmill will be this time around?

 

[Elitro]

Almost here...

Spoiler

HYPE!

 

[impact]

Hopefully not as terrible as the last one.

Yea really. Seems like a lot of games that usually go on sale have hit the lowest their publishers will go... like three sales ago.

 

[xplicitone]

I don't think I've played anything I've obtained from the Summer Sale

 

[Polioliolio]

I'm not excited for sales anymore. There aren't any games I can even see myself paying 5 bucks for. No reason to increase the back log. Don't even want Evil Within cause that DLC content coming out. Will wait for final release.

Also, too much Early Access out there. More like Early Asses.

 

[phanphare]

so does this start at 1pm EST or 11pm EST?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Will there be an OT here in the gaming side or are we just using the stream thread in community?

 

[DaciaJC]

1pm EST

 

[tmarques]

Don't be ridiculous.

Spoiler

How am I supposed to farm trading cards if I don't install the games?

 

[gngf123]

There will be a Steam sale thread as normal, almost certainly.

 

[Sir Blaming]

still relevant

 

[Necromanti]

Here's hoping for another uninteresting sale and a lot of money saved as a result.

 

[phanphare]

1pm EST

oooooo, thanks!

well the work day just got a little less boring

 

[Bronetta]

My body is so ready!

Spoiler

wallet, not so much

 

[Trogdor1123]

Hoping for a good deal on Skyrim DLC!

 

[LAA]

Good to hear. Not a fan of the auction. Partly because I actually do want to keep the stuff in my inventory, and if you want to pay for the gems (Which is down to the community the price...which wont end well), most of the time it doesnt seem to be that much of a deal compared to just paying for it anyway.

 

[Sir Blaming]

2 more hours huh.
I am ready, hit me steam

 

[h#shdem0n]

I hope all the peeps saying Ground Zeroes will have a daily are right.

 

[Bulzeeb]

if its anything like the fall sale then I am safe, last time I found GMG discounts better

 

[Spineker]

Oh fuck, not this again

 

[LumpOfCole]

Here's hoping for Civilization BE to be at least 50% off.

 

[Bytes]

Hoping for a good deal on Skyrim DLC!

I think we need to resign ourselves to the fact that those of us who own the base game but not the DLC will either need to buy the "Legendary Edition" or be forced to pay more money just to buy the DLC separately.

 

[Vargavinter]

Meeh, I was looking forward to the sale. But now with the regiontrading ban I'm probably not going to buy anything unless it's a steal.

 

[Arkhanor]

I already have so many games to play but there is still some space for you Shadow of Mordor and you too The Evil Within.

 

[TerryLee81]

I think we need to resign ourselves to the fact that those of us who own the base game but not the DLC will either need to buy the "Legendary Edition" or be forced to pay more money just to buy the DLC separately.

Yes.

But we WILL get a sale on the legendary edition, and it will be the best selling game again for the time its on sale.

Sometimes I wonder who buys it, surely everyone has at least two copies now.

 

[fluffydelusions]

 

[Blue-kun]

Not a good feel when I bought both Pokemon and EO4 this month, pretty much out of budget for gaming needs now, haha. Guess I'll have fun flipping out with SteamGAF this time around!

 

[Pachimari]

I just want my MGS V key from Nuuvem.
And then get This War of Mine, Wolfenstein, Alien Isolation and The Long Dark. Anything else will be a bonus.

 

[MUnited83]

I hope all the peeps saying Ground Zeroes will have a daily are right.

I assure you they are.

 

[Gaogaogao]

I might need to go to the store and buy steam credits

 

[TeddyShardik]

That would be a nice birthday present.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Meeh, I was looking forward to the sale. But now with the regiontrading ban I'm probably not going to buy anything unless it's a steal.

region training did nothing to stop my purchasing habits. I bought stuff when it was at the threshold price that I considered worthy and just because the regional trading is gone that doesn't mean that somehow my mind is spoiled off of that once lower price.

 

[Platinum_D]

Yup just bought a Steam Card i'm ready

 

[Unai]

Oh no! I forgot to leave my PC turned on at home. Now I'll only start downloading MGS when I get back there

 

[Bytes]

Sometimes I wonder who buys it, surely everyone has at least two copies now.

Probably the people who own the base game and are reluctantly buying it even though all they want is the DLC. And the sale price will be $13.59 as usual.

 

[Heartfyre]

I'm all over the Dark Souls II Season Pass if it's a daily deal. I know the new version is coming, but I want to take on the three content packs with the same sword-and-board I weathered the rest of the game with. As far as I'm aware, it has never been on sale yet? I'm quite sure, since it's #1 on my wishlist and I've been eyeing every sale event like a hawk.

I might get the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim as well, but only when it's €5, out of principle. I've never seen it below €9.99, and they usually have the gall to price it the same as the Legendary Edition (€13-ish) when they have a sale going. They robbed me with the pricing for Dawnguard, but I've been patiently waiting to scalp that second DLC from them for as little as possible. Two years and waiting...

 

[OnionPowder]

Also looking for Dark Souls 2. Just upgraded my computer and I'm ready to play at full HD and 60FPS

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

How many games do you think I can get for $50 in flash sales?
