Never knew retail was actually more expensive in Aus that's crazy to me, was mostly just speaking from my personal experience but yeah you're right that wouldn't really cover everywhere
Just looked through my Steam library, of 249 games I have completed....19...

Ho much are the Cities XL games for people who already own the previous ones? Do the "previous owner" discounts stack with the WE deal?
EDIT: Seems like the games are a buggy unoptimized mess and not even very good. Maybe I shouldn't even bother.

Well, there are exceptions. Black Ops 2 is a whole $1 cheaper at retail ($98 versus $99), for example.

By Grabthar's Hammer what a savings!

2011 (for having XL): $6.24
2012 (for having 2011): $9.99
EDIT: Guess this means they don't stack. They used to. The entire reason I have 2011 is because it stacked on a daily deal or something shortly after release and was like $5.
And yeah, they're buggy. The reason you get the discounts for having the earlier games is because of those bugs and how the games keep killing off the developers instead of getting them patched.
XL in particular has a nasty memory leak.
They're alright city builders though. (Haven't played 2012.)

Beating a dead horse here but retail in Switzerland retail is most of the time more expensive than Steam. There are a few online stores which sell AAA titles for 55-60CHF (45-50) but retail is almost always 70CHF (57) and up.
Nope. I bought the Cities XL LE before Cities XL 2011 assuming the owner discount would stack, but discovered otherwise.

Those are the regular sale prices for me as well. Meh.

Planning to pickup Cities XL and Wargame. Any impression ? Also which one might be worth picking up in the bundles.

Like I mentioned above, it used to, but I think they fixed it with/before 2012 after a bunch of people got a bargain on 2011.
It was some sale where like XL was 75% off and 2011 was 33% off so it was cheaper by far to buy XL+2011 than just 2011.
I wonder if Valve has changed it system wide after that Serious Sam 3 thing this summer?
Hah, that's even worse than mine.
I never get this, I see so many people talking about their giant backlog, I used to have 1 but I just finished all my games 1 by 1. My library (in the client) says I have 108 games. I finished all of them except Skyrim, because I'm saving that for when I'm done with work and when wintertime kicks in.
Hate the feeling of not having games finished.
I got it, thanks!

Severely dissapointed I paid full price for this game thinking it would be a decent update from the previous version. It's total shit in my opinion.

Considering there are 68 comments right now, there should be more than 130 keys left. I can confirm there is a human being sending the keys once a day, so you will have to use a facebook ot Twitter account, and clutter it a bit, but you will get a Steam key in the end.
Primal Carnage is better than Dino-D Day: no need of a fake WWII background, and a good feeling of controlling dinosaurs, like T-Rex or Velociraptor, and really differents classes, be it for dinosaurs or humans! The only problem I had so far is a bit of lag.
Ah, quite likely.
I need to properly count mine up, but I'm pretty sure I'm lower (counting only those beaten ON Steam), and Sam & Max Seasons 2 & 3 boost that number by a lot. Also I'm not sure I can fairly count Left 4 Dead, and unlike other games it's the one where I can't quite recall if I really "beat" on PC or 360.
I've got somewhere around that many too and I can count on two hands how many I've actually beat. I'm the worst at dabbling in games, almost treating them as demos. It doesn't help having kids and lots of overtime at work not to mention most of the games I play really don't have a true "end". (TF2, torchlight, etc.) I don't sweat it though. I look at it as a collection/library where I can play whatever I fancy whenever I want instead of as an overbearing backlog. One nice thing is that I very rarely fall into the hype and buy games at a full $50-$60 price. The last 2 were Diablo 3 (what the hell was I thinking) and Battlefield BC2. Having a decent size back catalog makes it easier to wait for the eventual 75% off steam sale.
Earlier in the year, Serious Sam 3 was on sale and some people had discount coupons (-75%) that initially stacked with the sale discount.
Ok thanks, however it seems to be 40 euros in Euroland. Just found this place and looks like the price is 5 euros less: http://uk.gamesplanet.com/

I don't count how many games I've beaten because what's the point? There are a million games out there I haven't beaten, it really doesn't matter if I own them or not.
Backlog mentality gets in the way of enjoying games, imo.

I can vouch for Games Planet -- pre-ordered Skyrim last year with no issues.

I have 183 games left I intend to beat out of games I currently own. That number will grow as their are games I am guaranteed to purchase before the end of the year.
But I have completed 150 games/expansions/DLC campaigns this year thanks to a semester off and will probably finish up about 25 more before the year ends. My backlog is gonna be my bitch. My goal is to reach a point where I don't have any games to play and I just look forward to the next release that interests me. If I can do that before I finish college I'll be good.

WHYYYY! Just when my PayPal is low. I threw all my funds into my Steam Wallet.
Admittedly if you sink a decent amount of time into a game gotten in a Steam sale for <$10 it's basically a rental you're allowed to keep for way longer than a weekend (well, it technically IS that), problem is some of these games SOUND good but I just don't seriously play. Especially the strategy games, though I did sink several hours into Civilization IV's tutorial game, which had the paradoxical effect of scaring me from the real thing.

I also play a lot of games that you can't really beat as well which kind of skews the figures, plus a tonne of games I just stop playing if I don't like them I don't really feel the urge to beat a game I don't like

So, Company of Heroes AND Opposing Fronts are downloading a 2618.1mb patch each, it feels like it already happened several weeks ago, anybody else getting this huge patch? This will clog my connection for half a day ;(
