Remember, if anyone wants to buy D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die during the sale, Playism currently has the standard edition of the game for $4.95. It's $7.49 on Steam itself.

Some of the games are cheaper on Nuuvem. Can I purchase MGS V and Evil Within and still activate them on steam ? Or the games are region locked ?
 
I love that even 40 minutes into 'sale' the store is still pretty much unusable.
Good job at keeping the servers alive, Valve.
 
I have already viewed all the titles in my discovery queue? I have never once interacted with a discovery queue in my life. wtf is this?
 
Since a lot of people probably haven't seen this due to high server load:

Nuuvem is far more complicated than it used to be. It usually requires either a VPN or a South American PayPal account with a few exceptions.
 
For everyone recommending Contradiction, school me on Contradiction.

It's a simple but well performed FMV Adventure game, the main character Jenks has some really great facial reactions etc.
If you want a simple game to play through look no further than this one.
It's a GotY contender if I ever saw one.

They're not region locked, but you won't be able to process your order unless your PayPal address is in Brazil.
 
Man I just wanted to buy some Dark Souls II, guess I have to keep waiting till things stabilize. I sure would like an "add to cart" button on the Wishlist page, not sure why it has never been added.

Zero sales on Batman: Arkham Knight? I thought for sure after the PC port had been savaged the last few months (and there have been some nice discounts on the console version) they would at least throw PC gamers a bone.

I also thought for sure there would be at least a 10 pointer off The White March, didn't it go one sale a few months prior?

I usually try and keep everything under $15 CAD except for one "big purchase" per sale of $30 CAD. So I guess the question this time is... Witcher 3? Or Wasteland 2?

It refreshes daily, although I do think generally you can start a new one. They probably have some sort of limit set now because of the trading cards, or it's busted at the moment from all the traffic.

You should discovery queue more often, bruh
 
40 minutes later, finally snagged Undertale and Tales From The Borderlands. Not sure if I want to jump on Rocket League at $14, or wait to see if a discount comes from PSN.
 
Gonna buy Bioshock Infinite's Season Pass (BaS Part 1 + Part 2 + Clash in Clouds), heard it is really good and since BI became my favorite game since I played it last month, I'm gonna give this a go.

Also seeing if I buy something more.
 
Hoping some of the prices are yet to update - looking through my wishlist, distinctly underwhelmed so far (checked individual game pages to be sure it wasn't just the wishlist not updating). Very few games I've wishlisted are over 50% off, many have been cheaper on other sites already.

Besides asking for a couple of games as gifts and giving some gifts in return I think this will be a very small sale haul for me - gone are the days of spending £70+ on the winter sale (and not regretting it either, due to the value of what that could buy on Steam 'back in the day').
 
One of the reasons nobody can get to their wishlist now, while in previous sales it worked fine but took a while to update, it it's likely running on the same servers that process discovery queues. Valve put out a notice on the sale page and on the comic book page that completing discovery queues earns trading cards. So everyone is trying to do that while everyone else is simultaneously trying to access their wishlist and... well it wasn't very well thought out I don't think.

"Valve" and "thought out" don't fit into sentences very well these days
 
awwww man Divinity OS EE only 33% off :( but it was to be expected i suppose...

Guess i will play Xenoblade instead now for my RPG fix and grab Divinity next year...
