I believe someone stated earlier in the thread that last year devs entered the same price for both sales. This year however they can enter different prices for Autumn and Winter so they could turn out to be different.

I couldn't get this to work for me. Even after putting a US address in PayPal, Gamestop complains about the address not matching up with my credit card. Too much trouble, I'll just wait for a cheaper Steam price.

Well, just bought and redeemed the code a few minutes ago. Way better than the Steam sale price.

I'm afraid to go to sleep and miss out on some great deal from GameStop. I just saw those games before hitting the hay. I have to think Deus Ex is a pricing error since the regular game is $40 on their website.

I hope Winter sales are better. DOOM on console, physical, being $15 while a digital Steam sale for $20 is absurd.
Here you go bud, $16 and change: https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/doom-steam-key--2971-1
The great deals are there, just seems most of 'em aren't directly on the Steam store anymore.

Would it be possible to get around this by getting a giftcard from elsewhere and using that for payment?
I got my code instantly. about 30 minutes ago.

It's so weird to have a Steam sale start and not care about it these days.

I feel the same way. I think there was a thread earlier discussing the fact that digital game sales are basically the equivalent of normal retail/cd key site pricing nowadays.

I haven't bought anything yet. I'll probably get $10 of Pinball Fx2 tables and maybe AssCreed Revelations at some point.
Plus let's face it, prices aren't as good as they used to be and the better deals are outside of steam.
Should have bought Valve Complete Pack, it's not very expensive and it comes with a shitton of great games. All the Half Life games are worth playing if you're into FPS.
Yeah It's looking likely that it's going to be the second big sale in a row in which I don't buy anything at all. Steam sales aren't fitting with my purchasing habits anymore.
I have near 200 wishlisted games and not a single deal makes me want to rush to take advantage. I can probably get it cheaper elsewhere later.

So far only bought Hyper Light Drifter and Life is Strange.
Might buy more but we'll see, I still have Christmas shopping to do.

They're very different games and not really comparable. Combat varies pretty wildly depending on what class you're playing as, I'd recommend taking a look at any that seem interesting to you.
As for the worldbuilding, it's OK-ish? The game is a pretty basic open world for the most part with multiple dungeons spread out across the game, some of the dungeons are pretty cool while others are pretty basic. The dungeon in the expansion content is more well designed than any of the dungeons in the main game, with lots of well put together encounters against both small and large foes and some well designed areas.
Exploration can be rewarding, there's a good number of encounters in the world against large enemies that only show up once during the main questline. Lots of the game is sidequests and optional content.
Probably. That works on Amazon.
Excellent start. Once you're through those (and it will take some time) I highly recommend The Witness (and don't ever be pressured to buy anything on sale, it WILL be on sale for that price again in the future).

I made a HIDDEN GEMS thread for this sale
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1319634
Feel free to post deals and impressions on games you recommend!
Consider getting King's Quest 2015 complete as it has all 5 episodes+epilogue and as of this post all 5 main episodes were released.

Congrats on the purchases. Don't let the Portal games sit in your backlog. Make sure to play them asap. They are amazing.
Also some food for thought on the Portal games. The Steam reviews for both Portal and Portal 2 make them the best reviewed games on Steam. Nothing comes close to them. At least I don't believe anything touches them based on quantity of reviews and percentage.
Portal = 28k reviews and 98% overwhelmingly positive
Portal 2 = 78k reviews and 98% overwhelmingly positive
Everyone needs to buy and play those games.
Kinda sad Valve never made Portal 3

I already have it from the humble sierra bundle, not sure if that one has the epilogue tho.
For the good of all of us; except the ones who are dead.

Tomasety said gift cards work.

But it's YMMV, they cancel some orders.
Best way is to go through someone in US.

Can anyone help me with RotTR and DX:MD Deluxe editions? I'm in Canada and can't check out on the GS website. I'd PayPal funds right away.

Eh... I didn't buy much at the moment. It's just a bit of whatever is cheap and if I feel like I may play it some day.
NIGHTS into Dreams
LISA
Pony Island
Life is Strange Complete Season
I've got other things I could buy but it's all what to prioritise at the moment.
I feel like I'm more likely to play games that I buy outside a Steam Sale than during one.
Eg. I haven't had time to continue but I bought and played Xanadu Next at launch and would resume playing that before I play these other games.

Wow, it already matched the Amazon error from earlier this year. What a great deal. :O

Deus Ex Mankind Divided season pass also $7.50. I'd buy both those passes but I'm not in the US. Any chance amazon.com will price match?

Is there anyone in the US that can help buy this for me? I just need the key and I will Paypal gift you the same amount back. GameStop keeps giving me an error even though I'm using a US credit card... I assume it's because my IP isn't in the US.
Amazon.com only price matches Steam. and Gamestop's prices are 99% likely errors, so definitely no.

trying to decide on what to spend those 20/25 bucks..several options on the table,none of them entirely convincing
- one piece burning blood: i am a big onepiece fan, but while this game seems to reek fanservice from all the pores,it also doesn't really seem THAT good
- fallout 4: this was a game i was near to get day one but decided not too..ended up i was kinda right since from day one i heard a lot of people complaining about how shallow it is under the hood... still i played the shit out of follout 3 and new vegas,so it has to be on the list
- deus ex: mankind divided: lovet human revolution to death,to me,one of the best games of last generation...this one seem to have a better polished gameplay,but also from what i heard is really short and ,worst thing of all, it has microtransactions,and i have vowed to never support full retail games with that bullshit
- metal gear solid 5: never have been a mgs fan,but i heard lots of praise for this and here on gaf people said you really don't have to play it stealthly to enjoy it. problem is,i decided to check also what the part of the fanbase that didn't enjoy it had to say and from their description it sounded a lot like red dead redemption (another game that lot of people loved but i hated)...big empty open world with several mission but no real variety
- xcom 2: another game that i loved last gen was xcom, and this was another game that i almost bought at day one..after the initial release window though,i didn't really heard that much about this game...is it good?is it bad? curious about the opinion of people who played it a lot
- doom: not a big fps player myself,and i must say i didn't enjoyed the demo that much, but i heard nothing but praise for this game and i was curious to check it out
I know they are all really different games, but what do you think i should get? what is , in his own genre, the best of the bunch?

Amazing RTS from the makers of Command & Conquer, now with an extra campaign for the price of nothing. It's a steal.

I'm trying to process the transaction on the items in my cart, but it gets stuck on "working" and then hangs, becoming unresponsive. This is in both the Steam application and on the web store. I called my card company and the card is fine, the funds are available and no blocks are in place. They've received no call from Steam to withdraw the funds. So they're saying that any issue is on Steam's end.
Is anybody else having this issue? Are the Steam servers having trouble? I bought a few games on Wednesday with no problems. Very strange.
