Bought Hitman as well. Don't think it will be cheaper with the steam sales coming up soon, especially since I'll be buying from Europe.

Lol, he's probably asking about the remake, not the original.
In the USA, the daily deal rolls over at 1pm on the east coast and 10am on the west coast.
A chance? Sure. A good chance? Not likely. And this is a state government of the US. Convincing them that a 75 percent off sale would yield them 10X the revenue will probably never happen. They'll just see it as lost revenue that "nerds would have eventually paid anyway".

How well does Jade Empire hold up? I'm slightly tempted at £2.24, as I loved my time with the first Knights of the Old Republic game. Does it compare favourably to that at all?
I really enjoyed it the first time I played it. I re-bought it recently and it feels a little quirky these days but has held up pretty well IMO.

Thanks. And on that note...

So when exactly does the winter sale start?
Me too, wallet topped up, some extra money ready for another top up just in case.
Got snacks and drinks in, and looking forward to a Secret World marathon combined with lots of flash deal checking
Tomorrow
Having skipped altogether the autumn sale I want to grab some stuff in the winter sale, which is usually pretty entertaining by itself with achievements, presents and so on. I will however give myself a limited budget (50 I think), hoping that a situation like last summer sale won't happen again (budget of 50 increased to 100 in the end... of couse I haven't even started 3/4 of the games I bought and I somehow regret spending so much back then).
My wishlist is ready (60+ titles), my body is ready, my wallet is ready, my free time is ready (last exam of the year on the 21st). Bring it on Steam!

A dev leaked the dates for autumn and winter sale. He got the autumn sale right. So the winter sale should start tomorrow (20th December)
It won't start until 10AM PST.
Yes, the Starbreeze remake is also a great game. Very fun campaign and some of the best FPS gameplay in recent memory.
Think I've learned my lesson to avoid anything over 10$, heck, maybe even 5 dollars if I know I'm not going to play it any time soon. Been burned a few times now getting games for around 20 bucks and still not playing them. I bought Xcom for 20 bucks, but I'm playing that and loving it, so that definitely fits under 'money well spent'

I noticed The Journey Down: Chapter One got added to the Coming Soon list. I picked it up off one of those indie sites a while back. I need to go finish it... I liked what I played of it.
Oh you!
I don't get the hate for that game. I tried it at a friend's and liked it. The enhancements stuff seemed well done, and I digged the cyberpunk style. Still I can't convince myself to spend 5 bucks on it, though I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I feel like you're onto something.
From a collector point of view I can see where you're coming from, but is that a game you *really* want on your Steam list?
As of this moment I'm still hovering over the "Purchase for myself" button.
The most rational reason I can conjure beyond "I want it because I don't yet have it" is "for posterity".

I wonder if the 2100/7500 Credits count as DLC. Better buy both to be on the safe side.

Those masks make me feel uncomfortable. Almost like they are staring right into my soul.

The day has finally arrived.
The ready my body is.
Also I'm glad Steam fixed its mobile app, now I can buy from my phone on Costa Rica! great work!

Where did you host? All I get for the image is a square that leads to a 403..try minus!

Looks like the Currency Bundles are what you get when you buy the game with the credits, check it out.

At least the 7500 one nets you both, so you only have to be out $45. ^_^

It shows up fine for me.
That's strange, considering there are separate subs for the War Z + Currency bundles. Anyway, DLC that doesn't actually provide any additional content is DLC I can live without.

No Gabe, wait one more day or two! I'm still poor!
This just times out at my end.
For all the stupidity behind the devs and the way they are acting (some of which I attribute towards their broken English, most of it is just stupid PR tactics though) the game is actually fun. Especially when you have friends to play with. The in game store currency isn't actually needed for anything important. It's just a convenience factor. You can either find the items over time or just buy them and have access to them right away (except guns and ammo, you have to find those). I thought about trying to answer some questions about it in the other threads as I've been playing it with friends for a while now but the other threads are pretty hostile towards the game so I don't really bother. There are some large issues with the dev team but the actual game is fun.
The sale lasts ~two weeks and any Dailies/Flashes are practically guaranteed to repeat.
Even if I do purchase the game, there's a good chance I'll never actually play it.

And thus the blight of cheap steam games. I'm afraid of what this sale is going to do to me.
Nope..oh well!

I know that. But beyond my misery, I'd love for all of you to suffer with me.
