Steam Winter Sale 2016 thread of hoping for better deals elsewhere

Is there any other easy accessible strategy games on steam like battle for middle earth ?

Age of empires games and especially Age of Mythology aren't that more difficult than Battle for Middle Earth. Age of Mythology has a cool campaign too.

Alternatively, Dawn of War is also very easy to play.
 
Alright, I feel stupid. Why can't I see everything that's on sale? It's just showing me highlights. Granted, I'm browsing the website at work, but I don't think that should be any different than the desktop client.

On the left side near the top of the page you have browse by categories and then pick specials.
 
Just found Warbands: Bushido on sale for $5.24, EA game, fun skirmish ( I think currently mp only, but most fight only takes 10 min. or less. Pretty fun to play with, although currently there are only 3 maps), it has a single player campaign of some sort (dozen mission or so, so so story), fun to mess with. BTW, did I mention this game is fantastic if you like tabletop miniatures board games...

why do I onyl get trash foils? wheres my anime waifu foils ;_;

Try selling Husbando foils.
I got a Foil for Silver Case and am patiently waiting for someone to buy it for $10.
 
The Steam Link finally got delivered. It was very easy to set up. I didn't have trouble with finding my PC, since my PC is connected with a powerline and the Link directly to the router. It's working wonderful, can hardly notice the input lag when playing games and can finally play co-op games on the big screen. Definitely worth the price! :D
 
Well, knocking off shadows and a few other options while keeping distance and higher textures and turning "off" "ignore GPU limits" worked. Shame the cars don't look as good now. But at least the game has a smooth (or near smooth) 60FPS. Not sure why half my VRAM being used means the performance in framerate is all over the place unless I crank it down, though.
 
If I had realized that the cards wouldn't expire at the end of the sale, I would have put them up on the marketplace and waited the two weeks, rather than crafting the badge. Ah well, live and learn, I suppose.
 
Guys, don't forget Pony Island. Great game if you want something cheap and quick.
 
Does anyone have recommendations for a must play game? I know it is tough to ask but I am looking for something that is so good that you will want to finish til the end. I finally have free time and was looking for a purchase tonight. Some games that caught my eye:

OxenFree
Hyper Light Drifter
Dying Light
Dark Siders 1 over 2
Axiom Verge
Dead by Daylight
XCOM 2(Not sure if I am in the mood for a strategy game but the plot looks interesting)

Any other suggestions? Thoughts?

Thanks!
Oxenfree has a pretty good story and dialogue system, and it's only about 4 hours long. I enjoyed it. Dead by Daylight requires a lot of time investment, and right now it's pretty buggy, so I'd recommend getting that later once they issue a few more patches. Otherwise, it was fun enough for me to sink in 170 hours into it.
 
Yeah! After 4 years of starting and then for whatever reason, despite loving the game, stop playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown I've finally finished the campaign. Restarted the game around Christmas and finally pressed through. Now I won't have to feel bad about wanting to pick up XCOM 2 early next year. Though I do wonder if I should get/play Enemy Within DLC first.
 
How's Hyper Light Drifter?

Thinking of that or this Starbase Six game.

HLD is probably my personal GOTY, although some of that definitely comes down to taste. The mechanics are tight though, and clearing a difficult room on the 5th try all flashy-like is super satisfying. There is kind of a story but there's no dialogue, if that's your thing.
 
Steam problems: drowning in cards, overwhelmed by all the hurdles and hassle that comes with selling them these days.

Plonked one on the market, just to see where I stand with all of this at the moment, and it's (not surprisingly) on hold for 15 days; even if I re-enable the mobile authentication thing, I assume this hold period will still remain active?

(i.e. I really should've thought to get back on board with this authenticator thing a couple of weeks prior to the sale to offload the sale cards during the sale?)

You know, that is a very good point... I guess the urge to sell them is a carry-over from simpler times when doing so was just a click or two away. Hey, I may as well sell these things before they expire, because, why not?

Not even so much compelled to sell them for the dollars and cents...just for the sport of it, or something. *shrug*
 
I finished LiEat and liked it quite a bit, so I am setting my eyes on Alicemare by the same creator. Has anybody played this?

The description makes it seems sad and scary. Is it sad and scary? Like, would it keep me from sleeping, pondering the frailty of life, or somesuch?
