Argh, why did I have to buy Guacamelee yesterday? That's seven dollars and fifty cents down the valve hole.
I am glad to see that they are putting some effort into the site design for the sale, the last few were pretty boring.

It's cheaper on Amazon (and it is a Steam key).

First day and as has been the pattern the last couple years, prices on smaller titles are higher than they used to be. Good for them if people are willing to buy, I guess.
Last couple of sales have been a bummer for me, as things are either still too rich for my blood or I already own it. I've got over 45 titles on my wishlist and yet I doubt I'll make a big dent in it because the games are either:
1. Too recent and therefore still too expensive
2. An indie game that's on "sale" for >$4 (Not happening, will wait on humble bundles)
3. Some obscure, forgotten older game that never goes on any kind of decent sale (i.e. Gun is still $15. Why!?)
I think that part of the problem is that two years ago, I relied on these seasonal Steam sales to make the majority of my purchases. Now, with Amazon, GMG, and Gamefly doing amazing sales week to week that redeem on Steam, the games I would have purchased in this sale have already been purchased at the same prices or lower. In the end, I still get the games so that's great, but it takes some of the "magic" away from the big Steam sales.

Don't buy, wait! I'm waiting too!
Going to get this as cheap as possible, even if that takes until the end of the sale.

How's Hammer Watch? Thinking of getting a four pack to gift to friends as a Christmas present.
If you can hold off right until the very end of the Christmas sale in what, January, then go right ahead. Because it might still show up as a featured timed sale (daily/flash/vote) during the Christmas sale, since it will be 2 weeks or so versus the handful of days the November sale is now.

Fuck, moving to another country messes Steam up pretty badly.
Manhunt is banned in Australia, and I've been wanting it to complete my Rockstar classics collection for quite a while. Now that I live in Florida, I should be able to buy it right? I mean, nothing in the game is any worse than what you'd see going out for a night on the town in Orlando. Anyway, when I open Steam it's all "oh hi, I see from your IP you live in the US!" and let's me add it to my cart. Then if I go to buy it, because my saved credit card is Australian it says "whoah, I'll just change currencies because you could be trying to pull a fast one" and in the process removes Manhunt from my cart.
I actually have a credit card with a US address too, but it won't let me enter the information before it removes it from the cart. I think I can probably buy something on that card which is available in both regions first to force it to switch me to the US version, so it's possible to work around it despite being annoying.
Oh and for the record, whenever it switches countries the background on the homepage swaps between Autumn and Spring =D

Silent Storm? Xelios is a good man.
I've seen this question asked quite often. I played it recently. There isn't too much to it. It's basically a gauntlet clone.
If you want a co-op hack n' slash with a little bit more meat go for either: Castle Crashers, Sacred Citadel or D&D Chronicles of Mystara.
If top down is your thing wait for a sale on Torchlight 2.
wtf is this shit?
SSSHH, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT. THAT SUMMONS THEM. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!!?
Valve doesn't want to carry AO-rated games.

My whole fucking wishlist just lit up like a christmas tree with 50% deals
I c-can already taste them
I bet if I wait another year it'll drop down to 10 or less for Legendary Edition...

Would like to know as well. The best DLC for SD though is debatable. I played Nightmare, it was ok -- not really that worth it IMO. Snake was out long after I was done with the game, so no comment there. Zodiac tournament is worthless.
If you had to get one I'd say YoTS since it takes place post story.

Just gotta sit tight and wait for The Stanley Parable to drop a few more £'s.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
It's cheaper for me to just buy the Skyrim legendary than to buy the DLC I don't have...that's a bummer.

Dawnguard and Dragonborn are must-haves. Especially Dragonborn, so get the Legendary Edition.
Hehe, cute.

Nevermind looks like they fixed it.
Use this site: http://steamdb.info/sales/?displayOnly=Game&category=0&cc=us
There are a few 90% titles.

What can I say, I'm extremely cheap. It doesn't help that I have a massive backlog so there's really no point in picking up games until they hit rock-bottom pricing or are included in one of the indie bundles.

Considering I havn't had a PC for gaming forever until very recently, I must say: HOLY SHIT
It's my very first steam sale and wow, this is truely incredible deals.
What's super lucky is that I had just made a wishlist on steam about 2 weeks ago consisting of:
-Sleeping Sog
-Skyrim Legendary edition
-Far Cry3
-The Witcher 2
-Fallout 3/New Vegas
-Dark Souls
-The Witcher 2
I'm also taking any recommendation GAFfers have for me! I havn't played on PC for well, forever. I had a Xbox360/PS3 all last generation and now have a PS4.

That sucks. Amazon has a 2-pack and only one of them is steam.

Make sure you wait for daily deals until the last day, each game you listed will almost for sure be one sometime~
How is A Machine for Pigs in comparison?
You can probably do alright with just the vanilla game for a while, but Bethesda's being stingy with the individual DLC discounts. Financially it'd probably be better to buy the Legendary pack if you're planning on getting them all eventually. I'm not sure why they don't throw the same bone to their entire customer base and normalize the discounts. It's pretty scummy.
