Same boat. I want to pick up the Witness but that's 2 cards. That's enough in my mind.
Steam GOTY voting doesn't end until January, normally, right?

Didn't that game launch at 15 bucks? Did they jack it up to 25?

I haven't had fun with a Steam sale since they removed dailies and the little meta-games. Steam sales are kinda boring now and not nearly the "event" they used to be...so, for me, I usually just kind of go "meh,guess I'll check" but generally never find anything in the magical "60% - 75% discount" range anymore.
Sadly, I'm guessing the format change must be working out well for Steam and devs/publishers or they wouldn't be sticking with it. Main problem is the discounts just aren't as good anymore. I'm far more frequently finding much better deals on physical console games, especially during Black Friday sales. Not the end of the world and I'm sure I just need to look a little more to find a gem or two, but my Steam purchases which used to make my wallet cry 2-3 times a year have pretty much dried up to near zero.

They jacked it to 25, fucking disgusting. It launched at 15, not a penny more, and quite frequently it had 3,74 sales (75% off). I can understand not always discounting it at 75%, but raising the base price by $10??
Either way, you're stuck with Uplay. Like Farcry3 before it, the Steam version of BD requires Uplay to run.

What a thread title!
That's the price of the Blood Dragon + Gunslinger bundle. Blood Dragon itself is still $15 but isn't discounted.
BD is showing as $15. $25 is for the combo with Gunslinger?

Not here (EU) for whatever reason:
edit: Ah you're right, when you go to its store page it shows a combo with Gunslinger. Blood Dragon base isn't on sale at all. Still misleading as shit, reminds me of the GTA V sales with those shark codes stuff last year.

i5 4570, 12 GB, and an RX 470... I know, I know, AMD
Hmm, I've got a big enough GPU with big VRAM, but my processor is an i3. Minimum is an i7, as if that's right at all though.
The game by itself isn't on sale, it's only on sale in a bundle with Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Total War: Rome II is doing something similar in my wishlist, where it looked like it was on sale 50% off, but it turns out it's only on sale in a Total War bundle for that price. Madness!
(Unless we're getting different prices in certain areas maybe?)
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Gamebillet has Evil Within, Doom and Fallout 4 for cheaper by the way
I'm super tempted. The Legacy bundle with MW Remastered is hard to ignore, as someone who is interested solely in the campaigns. But my heart belongs to that Assassin's Creed bundle instead.

I don't think I'll be buying anything this sale. The Early Access titles I've bookmarked are either not discounted or are only slightly discounted and still have months to go until they leave EA, the Rocksmith '14 DLC is only 40% off, and there doesn't appear to be any special DLC created for the sale (sometimes an F2P game publisher will release a Summer/Halloween/Winter Sale content pack).
Edit: Star Crusade has a Thanksgiving pack, so there's that.

I got both games when they respectively launched. I dropped Blood Dragon after an hour and a half, but loved Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.
I loved both, and for different reasons. Blood Dragon was such a unique experience/setting, while Gunslinger is all about really enjoyable shooting mechanics and great narrative.

I second this, one of my all-time favourite games. I may be a bit biased here, since it's a russian game, but it was definitely one of my most memorable gaming experiences in my 20+ years of gaming.
Unfortunately, some of this game's charm was lost in translation - since this game was primarily aimed at russian audience, a lot of "text quests" were pretty hard to adapt to english speakers.
Even though this game is basically four different games in one, it doesn't feel like that's the case. Maybe the RTS part feels just a little out of place though
It also aged surprisingly well visually and mechanically, it has a very clean and intuitive interface, and it also supports a variety of resolution options. Once again, the RTS part, being the only part of the game done in 3D, looks a bit dated - all the other parts are 2D, and those tend to age better.
It is one of the rare examples of games where developers had a lot of ambitious ideas, and those ideas worked in the end. Highly recommended
I just want to third this. This game is simply a masterpiece.

I'm going to brave Walmart for this! They better have the pc version!
IIRC, you need to log into uPlay to play it anyway, even if you buy it on Steam, so people might as well just snag the uPlay version.
Hello guys! I'm interested in getting Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition but it's not available in my region (Argentina) and I was wondering if there's a chance to get it (via Steam) through a VPN or something similar, and if I'll be able to play it afterwards.
Also, I've seen that it's possible to get the game through Amazon, so I was also wondering if it's possible to activate the key even if it's not available in my region.
Thanks!

I'll probably never play this, but I've got enough money in my Steam wallet, so...bought.

I just started it myself and I've only made it a couple of bosses in, but I'm having a lot of fun. It's definitely a little bit like Metroid. The controls are tight and the weapons varied.
Can't complain for half price.

I think someone who lives in the US can gift the game to you. That's how I got DAOUE in Steam.
Be sure to look at Walmart's website tonight at 12AM EST when their online sale starts. The PC version of TF2 is listed as part of that $27 promotion, so you might just be in luck and not have to brave the Walmart crowds after all.

Arma 3: apex is tempting me. I think I'll wait for the christmas sale and 50 percent off though.
They may be slightly cheaper during the Winter Sale, which is roughly a month away. I'd just pick up what you can finish in the interim.
Edit: Speaking of, it's a couple of days shorter this year. Interesting.
Edit edit: Regarding the Steam Awards, I wonder if Valve will give the publishers of the winning games some sort of prize. My first thought was a mock trophy and Valve waiving its 30% cut for a month for that specific title.
