Haul so far:
Abzu
Rocket League
Squad
Have £3 left in my steam wallet from selling cards, so I'll find something cheap to spend that on.

No it's just popular
It wouldn't change much unless they stopped doing user nominations. The most popular stuff will always win otherwise.

Nice haul but id test out stmphonia first to see if u like how it performs
IF not u can refund long as u palyed it for under 2 hours
There is a very trippy mission.

Will do, thanks for the advice. I'm not super sensitive to performance issues so hopefully it'll run well enough for me
i think unless they do some rules on who you can vote then it's gonna be a similar case of the most popular games just winning
it'd be interesting if they went like doing categories based on tags
like "walking simulator of the year", "permadeath game of the year", "minimalistic game of the year", etc.
i think that'd be nice to surface hidden gems and by using tags you can limit it so that fucking gta5 doesn't win in a category it doesn't belong to

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
This is why democracy is terrible! Plebs always making things worse!
Those winners though... everything was robbed.
This is my round 2 of purchases:
Pharaoh Rebirth+ | Environmental Station Alpha | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight | Crashlands | Barony | Ginger: Beyond the Crystal | Telepath Tactics | TIMEframe | Pony Island | Xanadu Next | Verde Station | Ascension to the Throne | Dex | SteamWorld Dig | Space Rangers HD: A War Apart
Round 1 was:
Amphora | Seraph | Sethian | Moekuri: Adorable + Tactical SRPG
I spent a bit more on the sale than some previous ones because didn't really give (or receive) a lot of holiday gifts this year so just redirected some of that money to me
There's a couple of pricier games I'm on the fence about, I've done well with actually finishing games this year so if that trend continues maybe I'll pick them up next time they're on sale.

I've only bought INSIDE and MGSV on this sale because I spent a lot on the Fall Sale, so I tried to control myself.
Any recommendations for the last $4 on my wallet?

Legend of dark witch if u like megaman-like gamrs
i dont even give a fuck about these awards but where did it say it was "how well it holds up graphiclly" in the test of time?
people keep playing skyrim 5 years after release, its always one of the most played on steam, so it stood the test of time that people keep playing it

You don't really buy XCOM for the plot. You buy it for the tactical combat and because you enjoy pain and torture.
But I highly recommend it if you like tactical combat games.
oh dang it
i still think it's a better idea that this goat of the year bullshit
i think ppl just expected an old game to be featured in that category as 5 years
i sure as hell did
heck, league is older than skyrim
It's already dropped like a rock on NeoGAF of all places, which I would assume would be the target demographic.

When you're game still plays like Morrowind, but removes all the elements that made that game compelling.

Haydee, Nekopara, and some furry VN in my queue. I blame my Steam friends.

Did somebody say yoga?
i need that stupid villain in need of a hug card but the phone app is so unreliable i think it has cancelled 3 confirmations already without even letting me choose
:/
it's the reason i could never get past that first town, there's just nothing to that game
:/
yeah, graphics i don't care shit about but i remember being super frustrated at how mechanically simple that game was

listen to the redhead
God Eater Ressurection and 2 are the same game. I mean, 1 comes with 2, you bought God Eater 2. Techicalities damn it!
Grim Dawn by far.
Grim Dawn is arguably the better game but I liked Victor Vran more. That is a neat little game

After seeing DOOM get mentioned by tons of people in the 2016 GotY thread, I've been sorta tempted to pick it up. I'm generally not a single-player FPS guy though... but the other day I got a $20 Steam gift card, and I just saw that DOOM is on sale for $19.79. Clearly the universe is trying to send me a message. Someone convince me not to buy it.

So I started Fallout 4 last night and spent most of the time scraping materials for resources.
They could make an entire game like that and I would be fine just cleaning up the wasteland.

Somehow I think I under-bought this sale. I suspect that Steam has indoctrinated me.
Yeah, Classic Mode features tracks (i.e. sponsors) and drivers (i.e. non-traditional contractual likenesses) from the 80s and 90s.

OK, Gaf, please help me: Grim Fandango Remastered or the Lucasart Adventure pack?
Buy it. It's pretty good.
If you rarely play them, most people would probably suggest the cheaper option. You might also consider Endless Legend.

I think the adventure pack is better value
