Steam Winter Sale 2016 thread of hoping for better deals elsewhere

Wolfenstein 2009 never got Steam keys. The only way you can get a steam copy now is to find someone with a gift. But you might have to sell the car or something, people want a lot for this.
Hm, ok, guess I'll play it after Nier.
Acti's first foray into Steamworks was Modern Warfare 2 a few months later, unfortunately.

I think we should turn page 110 (50ppp 4 life) of this thread into one of the following:
- page to discuss how great Super Mario Run is, and trade friend thingies
- page to port beg for OG Xbox games that we really want on Steam
- page to discuss anime and pop culture with an extreme focus on matches + gasoline or other accelerants
- a hierarchy of soon-to-be-removed games with prices, like a "bang for your buck"

ABZU is a great buy.
I'll second that.
Dark Messiah if you dont already have it, through its usually cheaper in sales.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
That feel when you want to buy a game but then saw the reviews and it's full of fanboy drivel shit.
I am looking at you Rivals of Aether and Parkitect.

Do you like games like Castlevania or Metroid?
Do you like games that are heavy on atmosphere?
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
Edit: Apparently it's $7 after conversion. Don't care, it's worth it.
If you happen to be living in Finland, which is highly unlikely, Gigantti has a Steam code for 15. In fact they have a bunch of other good deals too like Dark Souls 3 for 24 and Fallout 4 for 15.

Definite +1 right here. Go TATE like I do, for top-tier Downwelling.
Holy crap that looks awesome!
conclusion about this sale. I bought more things than expected, certainly more than last sale (last real sale, not the stupid autumm one 3 weeks ago), and yet I didnt get one "big single player game" as I intended, a "triple A" if you will.
Between fighting games, smaller indie games for less than a dollar, puzzle (paint it back), a couple of Final Fantasy games that Im not going to play because I still have the others to play, I didnt get that one big thing to boot up right now and play.
Well I guess I got Doom with the gamersgate fuck up. I keep eyeing Mankind Divided and God Eater 2 and cant pull the trigger on either, if only they were a bit lower (damn it pubs if youre gonna go 67% just man up and go 75%!).
Hitman with the gamestop price would be a easy buy but I missed that.

Goddamn, that is so beautiful. I play the PS4 / Android version but I think I might pick up on Steam to do this.
Hey! Be nice to Badass! Although he makes me spend too much money ....
Im not nice to Pony haters

I did not make the thread, only the 3rd post.
2nd poster has terrible taste though. He likes Pony, can you imagine that?
Has anyone here bought Angels of Death? It's not the best discount, but I have £7 in my wallet and the reviews are all extremely positive.
I'm torn on what I want to get. Have a $50 steam wallet card coming to me. Right now I am thinking the following.
Mad Games Tycoon
Space Pirates and Zombies 2
Serpent in the Staglands
Prison Architect
Shovel Knight
Maybe some others by the end of the sale, but that almost maxes out the wallet card itself.

I got regional pricing, so yeah its still cheaper here. This looks like something I like as I been playing DS3 a lot.
Well my favorite game is DS3.
My top ten played by playtime are:
Terraria
GTAV
Starbound
DS3
FO4
TC The Division
DS1
BOI:R
Got it.
Humm good choice but maybe next sale.
Looks good, but I don't know.

Loads. What kind of games are you looking for?

Anyway, if anyone's reading this, still waiting for some opinions on certain games:
Tales of Zestiria (worth it at that price?)
Halcyon 6 (has anyone played this? Is it as in-depth as it looks or did it get ambitious and spread things too thinly?)
I absolutely adore Chime, but my love doesn't extend quite so far for Chime Sharp. Gameplay wise, Sharp is an improvement, but the music is less to my taste - there's, like, 3 times the number of songs in Sharp, but nothing for me that matches Philip Glass's Brazil in the first game.
That said, they're both great games, and I don't think you can go particularly wrong with either at the prices they're going for now.
I'm open to suggestions.

Imo, if they didn't like Civ5, they wouldn't like 4 either. Also Civ5 complete is the best civ experience to date.

Castle in the Darkness for an awesome retro-style Metroidvania game
Downwell for addictive arcade goodness

Root Double is fantastic. Same for Steins;Gate. Both are really interesting sci-fi stories that hold up really well.
Higurashi is really excellent, too. Great horror story. The first 4 chapters have been released on Steam now.
The House in Fata Morgana has gotten great reviews. I've only played a little bit of it, but it does seem good even just from what I've played so far.
World End Econimica, which finally had its last chapter released last week, is also a really interesting VN, with a heavy economic focus that separates it out from pretty much anything else out there.
Door Kickers. Best Rainbow Six/SWAT game of the last 11 years.

Ehhh...save your money for Tales Of Berseria next year.
Definite +1 right here. Go TATE like I do, for top-tier Downwelling.
Even if we have a whole page of these, it won't be quoted enough.
Beautiful, man.
(I need a second monitor, so I can TATE my old one).

Which monitor is that?
That's probably the best way to play that (amazing) game.

Here's a list of 100+ games I made you can skim through.
Thank you.
I should've mentioned C$s, Door Kickers is over $3.
Downwell it is.

Anyone able to offer impressions on the state of Dishonored 2 on PC? I have a machine that literally is the recommended spec (save for my processor being just a bit slower) -- any chance I'll be able to pull off medium-high-ish settings at 1080p and expect 60fps performance?
I currently own the game on PS4 and play via PS4 Pro on a 1080p monitor, though from what I understand, that game gains zero bonuses on 1080p over a standard PS4. It's capped at 30fps and the input latency that seems to exist on PS4 makes it generally feel quite underwhelming to play, mostly because I find I can't precisely snap my power usage in a way that feels equivalent to my experience playing the first game on PC. Was thinking I'd take advantage of GameStop's trade-toward-Steam-card bonus with my PS4 copy and pay out of pocket for the difference for a PC copy while it's on sale.
Same goes for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, actually, though I did play Human Revolution on Xbox 360 back in the day and generally feel like I cope with the console-based shortcomings much better than in Dishonored, largely because it feels like the game is designed to use abilities far less frequently and for much more dramatic effect, so taking things slower is a bit easier to do. $20 pricepoint during this sale has made the prospect of conversion quite tempting, and it seems like it generally fares better optimization-wise.
