Holding off on X-Com. It's tough, but I want to see it 50% off or better before I pull the trigger on that one.
As for some of the others, can anyone tell me whether these are the best I'll see?
SoaSE: Rebellion - 50% off ($20)
L4D2 - 50% off ($10)
Orcs Must Die 2 - 50% off ($7.50)
Might want to pull the trigger on one or two of those, but I'm in no rush. If you all believe they'll be cheaper during Winter Sale, then I'm gonna hoard my $.

Nooo, no pulling trigger on non-new release games that aren't 75% off. L4D2 has been cheaper than that many times in the past.
that its bad timing for those who wanted money to pre-order FC3
mods feel free to change it if its too confusing, just making a silly joke
It's super fucking streamlined

L4D2 is a guarantee to hit $5, and I wouldn't be surprised if OMD2 dropped to 66% off as a daily deal. Smart to hold on both of those.
2240 games?! That is ridiculous.
I was just talking about how many games I got/how much was spent during the Summer sale. Even though I've had my account for 3 or so years, I only have 330ish games since I just built my first gaming rig this year. Most of, if not all of them, were in this year's Summer Sale. One day I'll be on your guys' level. One day.

Its a steam sale and you were interested enough to ask about it.
Don't fight, you have already bought it.
How good it is doesn't really come into it because chances are you will never play it. If you do? Well it is pretty long...and somewhat boring but there is more than enough there that you can probably find something to really like.

Okay that's what I thought. Is there a way to see what a game's previous sale prices were (or a website where such info is stored)?
I have a few coupons for Alan Wake, Rochard and Legend of Grimrock
Quote to reveal
-50% Alan wake CE
-50% Alan wake CE
-50% Alan wake CE
-50% Alan wake AN
-50% Alan wake AN
-75% Rochard
-75% Rochard
For the 2X legend of Grimrock coupons send me a pm with your steam ID since I have them in my inventory
Hopefully all coupons still work and please post which one you took
EDIT: 1 LoG coupon gone

I just noticed that home is 0.67. I know this should be a no brainer, but is the game any good?
oh makes sense. will still be pre ordering far cry 3. honestly speaking tho, being a veteran of one steam sale (the last summer one) , im not too excited about this round of sales. already bought the old games that i wanted back then. also greenman gaming has been giving sweet deals on the newer games in recent weeks
*still deposits $30 in steam wallet*
I'm staring into the abyss. The abyss, it is staring back.
I absolutely loved DSII. Derrick01 would tell you it's the biggest piece of shit of the year. But he's banned. So I say go for it. Assuming you plan on playing it. Because it'll likely be cheaper during the winter sale.

Winter sales are usually better right? Will we see the same games on sale now for even less?
But I was browsing through Steam and almost everything is on sale. Some are great but I wish some were even cheaper.
Can't choose. *cry*

I bet the game will be $10 or less in a not so far-off future, no rush.

I have the 1st one and it is a terrible PC port. Tearing was so annoying and I only played like an hour or so because of it. Reminded me sort of god of war meets Zelda. Skipped the 2nd one because of bad experience of the 1st.

I think it is the type of game where you will either love it, or like me you will be playing it and somewhat enjoying it, but starting to think of other games about half way through.

I can't log in to steam
I can't even start the program after the last beta update.

It's a race between the game reaching a price point of 5-10$ and THQ going under.

Or you can wait for the winter sales

That's a scary thought. It might turn into a KOA situation and never go on sale again.
I would wait. Stranger things have happened. And Capcom games *do* come up for daily sales, but they're just not heavily discounted. I do think at least some of their games (RE5, Dead Rising) will go on sale.

We need a list of the common "no brainer" games during the Steam Sales, like Terraria, Binding of Isaac, etc.
I actually don't think it is. I think it came out in that weird era where MS was still kinda-sorta publishing PC games. A time before GFWL existed. A better time, really.
Seriously, fuck Capcom, I have waited so many sales to buy Lost Planet 2, they havent discounted it AT ALL, WTF.
Somebody else who wants to play Lost Planet 2? *Brofist*
If it goes on sale (for a price that I want to buy it for), we should play.
GAF, here's what I'm thinking of buying. What's your opinion?
- AudioSurf: $2.49 (75%, from $9.99)
- Q.U.B.E.: $3.74 (75%, from $14.99)
- VVVVV: $2.49 (50%, from $4.99)
Even though VVVVV is only 50% off instead of 75%, I don't think it'll be lower than that, right? Will I be breaking rule #1 if I proceed?

I picked up LP2 during the last Christmas sale. It went on sale for about $10 I think? Fun game though.
There is only one rule. Don't break it.

Who owns the rights to Kingdoms of Amalur? It is the only non-indie game I really want but I dont see it even getting 10% off

Technically, I think the state of New Jersey does now.

It was self published by 38 and now that they are under it won't go on sale.

Rhode Island.
Edit: Who has two thumbs and just bought critter crunch for like the third time? This guy.
Fine, VVVVV can wait till the last day, just to be sure. The other games are stilll OK to get now?
Yeah on Steam at least. EA elsewhere hence all the sales.

I guess I can buy it on Amazon for 13ish but I will forget I own it in the near future if its not on steam.
Can't help you with that. I loved it and didn't want to play anything else. Others in the Steam thread thought it's one of the best games of the year. A bunch of others thought it was incredibly boring and one of the year's worst. I don't think it's really a polarizing game in nature. Certainly nothing radical about it. It's just some people get hooked by it and some don't.
GMG had it for $8 ($6 with coupon, still didn't buy it though) , cheapest I've seen it.

See and I like the steam achievements when they pop up so it will sit forever in my wishlist because I won't go the origin route.
But that was the origin key right? not a steam key.

I'm guessing no sale on Far Cry 3, and I doubt it will get one during the xmas sale?
