If I buy Call of Juarez Gunslinger + Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon combo, and I already have FC3BD, do I get a spare code/gift copy for it?

No. Basically, the specific examples mentioned within the support article aside, you don't receive spares unless the store page explicitly mentions otherwise.
 
Well. Aliens vs. Predator is 80% off ($2.99). I guess it pays to actually look at my wishlist every once in awhile.
3$ ?

Humble Paradox, huh.
Very interested in Crusader Kings II. But not 16$ interested. That game's and EU4's price did not drop very low (as in game+all dlc). Even though CKII is two years old.
For those interested in CKII. It's much cheaper on Steam right now.

I'll still have to wait though. Ah well.

I thought War of the Roses is F2P?

I liked AssCreed LIberation. Some of it was annoying, but when you play it on a Vita and it's portable AssCreed, I was impressed. Not to mention that even though the game was rife with bugs (the type that I do remember and thankfully were partially patched by the time I played), I still had a really good time with it and it was my favorite since the original (note: I've only played 1, 2, and Liberation).

I was with you until the end (thankfully no bugs yet on PC) but 2 remains best Ass to this day (haven't played much of Black Flag).

Thanks for the heads up, AvP3 is the only game I'm missing from my PC AvP collection.

edit: aaaaand Steam isn't letting me buy shit. Maybe it's a sign I should be done with this sale, I already spent more than I anticipated.

LoL didn't have a merch store until now? Where did everyone get those timo hats?
they had a shitty merch store with like 3 shirts and the teemo hats but that was about it

new one is gonna have lots of plushies and figures and new shirts and if i'm lucky this ahri nendo


shipping to argieland is gonna be super expensive tho, so imma prolly wait until they set up the latin american store or something

Can't stop looking, hypnotic, kawaii ! :3
i'm just perpetually making that gesture about anything in life these days

Shadowrun Returns: Yay or nay?
just get dragonfall

And I'm gonna do my last purchase. Garden Warfare, Alien Isolation or Shadow of Mordor. I'm leaning toward Garden Warfare, as that's the only game along Titanfall (which I got) that I always wanted on Origin.

I might get tired of Shadow of Mordor, if it's just all about slashing stuff all the time, but I'm curious about the enemy system.

With Alien Isolation I'm afraid the environments will get very repetitive.

Speaking of Shadowrun Yay or Nay Edition.

I own the Shadowrun Returns standard version and there's the upgrade to the deluxe for 0.69€.
Now, the Deluxe includes: "Shadowrun Returns + Anthology + Soundtrack".
I don't care for the soundtrack, but I was wondering what that Anthology could be.
 
It's crazy that I can't focus on a single game at a time. I have tried time and time again, and have failed yet again.
I'm currently playing Grand Theft Auto V on the PS4 (thinking of waiting for that one as I'll undoubtedly buy it for PC but I'm worried about how it'll run), and Sleeping Dogs and Batman: Arkham Asylum on PC.

Also, I'm so gonna stay away from the Winter sales this year, and just play my games.

At times, I have the same problem. Looking at what you have on deck, though, I can see your issue. You have a set of open-style games that are full of sidequests and collectibles that, even if you don't go for, contain time sinks. Break it up with some pick-up games.

CS:GO is a good game to break things up, for me. Binding of Isaac is another one. You can even fit in a quick banger like Transistor or The Swapper, that you can jump in, play out, and move on from.

As is, I think you're stacking the deck against yourself with too many similar titles. We're in a pretty good spot with regards to stockpiling games and dropping them at will. So, unless it's cutting into other expenses that are more wisely budgeted for, don't skip Winter Sale and just stock up and play on.

Just from google, it appears to be a digital book of short stories tied into the game world.

Somebody remind me again why this was supposed to be an awful sale and factually worse than previous ones.

Because Volvo wont forgo their profit so we can get cheaper games. And because they're not strong arming devs and pubs into better deals, and negotiating, and also Tony. (That about summarises what the general complaints have been)

No Valvo that's not how maths work!

I bought 8 games from Steam during this sale. I don't think it was lackluster at all.

I too bought lots of stuff. A lot on Steam, a lot on Nuuvem... All over the place, really!

It was still bad, for shame Volve!
I loved this mini-sale.

I think this was the original showing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYAUlPMqnKk

Then I think it was later used as a demo for the Oculus Rift before going on to kickstarter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vi_JBJ5yoE

The estimated release is June 2015

Yup. And I believe it was initially made during the first or second 7DFPS jam

Awww so cute!
I'm personally a dota kind of guy, so gosh darn it if this isn't cute!

says in amazon it's a book made of a bunch of short stories and pretty cyberpunk drawings

sounds like it could be worth the buck if you like the shadowrun universe

One day I'm going to actually play more than 10 mins of DotA2 and get sucked in again. I'm trying hard to stave that off but it's going to happen at some point :(

The grey goo scenario is when self-replicating nanomachines reproduce ot of control, consuming all matter on the planet to make more of themselves until they're all that's left (the "grey goo"). Though it'd be kind of awesome if they became sentient. >.>

Hahahaha whoops. Seems like I've got The Matrix/Terminator confused with hypotheticals. I don't think either scenario sounds like my cup of tea to be honest.

Nah.
GTA Renaissance isn't even really a game about being an Assassin... and that's why it's on the bottom of my list. :p

Seems to be a pattern though... Vita version of a game beats out the highly acclaimed favorite of the masses... Killzone, Assassins Creed 3: LIberation, Uncharted: Golden Abyss...

my goodness. a ton of stuff happened today.

Like what?

I completed GA recently and it was such a chore during the last third, while Killzone Merc felt too short this was definitely too long. Still better than 3 of course. :O

Eeh... nothing you probably don't already have.
Tropico 5 50% off is nice and gets you most of the way there.
Darksiders Franchise and Deadly Premonition are always good, but don't really get you there.
They have that 75% off Alan Wake people are craving badly...

So yeah, you might get there if you combine a few things, but it's up to what you already own.
