MGSGZ is a must buy imo. It is prequel of Phantom Pain.

I bought GoT but it has only first episode. You can wait for more episodes and purchase all of them at the same time in the future. telltale game has little to no gameplay. There are some QTE and decision making but no actual gameplay.

Ok definitely getting MGZGZ now, but is the Phantom Pain coming out this year?

So that GoT game has no game-play and and is episodic... I'll pass on that until the whole series is out so I can marathon it.

Thank you for the reply but I have another question. When I chop off the ?redeemer part the link goes to the login screen but it does not show the gift is ready to redeem part anymore. Is that expected behavior or does that mean it is not detecting the code?

The redeem window will pop up for whoever uses the link and logs in to steam, its not a problem.

You won't see the gift if you're not logged in, and if you do click the link while logged into the account that you used to buy it, it'll just be returned to your inventory. The ?redeemer component of the URL isn't at all necessary.

Didn't buy anything(again). Couple little things I might have gotten, but there's really no justification for me buying anything else with so much to play.

I did make about $0.88 on cards, though. Woohoo...
 
Damn, none of the game sales I missed and was hoping for encore got encored. :(

They don't change them or anything right? Might as well buy now?

Decided to pick up Games of Thrones and Hatoful Boyfriend. I -think- I've bought just about everything else that I've wanted, and gifted quite a few things this year. :)
 
My haul:

Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
Euro Truck Simulator 2 Paint Job Packs (Czech Republic, Germany, Poland)
Final Fantasy IV
Five Nights at Freddy's
Never Alone
Pinball FX 2 South Park pack
Shadowrun Returns (gift for my brother)
Shovel Knight
Super Meat Boy
Transformers: War for Cybertron
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
 
Now that this sale is over, the lack of excitement over the sale for myself (and others) is getting me down. Owning everything "worth owning" on steam certainly has its perks, but I'll be damned if I wasn't refreshing the deals exactly at the change to try and relive the excitement of last holiday sale.

I've also managed to play 12 hours of ground zeroes. Didn't see that one coming.

My Haul
Payday 2 Heist Package
Payday 2 Weapon DLC package
MGSV: GZ (From Nuuvem)
Super Meat Boy
E.Y.E. The Divine Cybermancy

Lovely Planet

All for ~$34.44. Was a good sale for me.

I'd like to think it came out to <$100, but I know that's not true. Can't check since I'm on mobile for New Year's.

I put $50 into my account at the beginning of the sale and have this to show for it. Still have $2 left over but I can't really see myself buying anything else.

Welp... My only purchase for the whole sale was FSX in the first hour of the sale (and it crashes on boot lol).

I have the itch to buy something but there's not really anything I'm looking for right now.

Amazon doesn't bundle AoE II + the DLC. KFJKFJKSFGDF. Would get it otherwise, but I don't want to add more money to my Steam wallet at this point. Another sale I suppose.

And the Borderlands 2 GOTY PC Download doesn't have a discount. Maybe an oversight? Regular version is discounted.

Damn, none of the game sales I missed and was hoping for encore got encored. :(

There's going to be a second encore day tomorrow. If you missed one of the dailies during the sale, it might show up again.

For anything that didn't get featured, it's probably safe to buy, but I'm holding off until tomorrow just in case.
 
Steam sale haul:

Duke Nukem Forever (loved it on the 360, figured it was high time to get it on pc too).
Five Nights at Freddies 1 & 2
Alien: Isolation
Max Payne 3
South Park DLC (Pinball FX 2 table)
Last Dream

Non sale item: Geometry Wars 3 (steam wallet money to burn and I loved the first two on the 360).
 
Hay guys, happy new year. Just want to say thank you for being such a rad community and I hope this year is great for each and every one of you. I won't be here past midnight because I've asked for a year long ban but I'm sure I'll be still lurking from time to time. Peace out and Nuff love :)

At least when I bought it, I just bought the DLC and it came with AoE2. I can't say if it still works though.

Happy New Year ^_^
 
At least when I bought it, I just bought the DLC and it came with AoE2. I can't say if it still works though.

Top review on Amazon says it was an error, probably around the Summer Sale. Appears to be fixed now.

I shot them a support email to see if they fix the pricing on the AoE II bundle and Borderlands 2 GOTY. See if it changes. Can't hurt.

This sale started out pretty slow, but eventually heated up for me. Did most of my damage at Greenman, but wwas able to add some nice gems to my steam collection.

The Banner Saga
Deadfall Adventures
Dishonored GOTY
Transistor
Deus Ex Invisible War
Gunhound
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition
Lego Batman 3+Season pass
Final Fantasy IV
The Detail
Dead Pixels
 
Man. With the encore sale, I have Wasteland 2, Divinity, and a Endless Legend all available and really only funds to get one, I'm at an impasse.

Go for Divinity, you won't regret it. While the two other games are good, Divinity Original Sin is a few steps above in my opinion. If there was only one PC game to play in 2014, I'd pick DOS without a doubt.
 
I haven't bought anything this sale...

It feels strange

I have $20 to spend too just can't decide what I want. South Park? Endless Legend? Kerbal? Beyond Earth?

Maybe this will be the sale that I actually don't buy anything...

How good is the PC version of Shadow of Mordor, if you don't have a controller?
Should be good. Some notable twitch streamers used kbm on release.

You might want to get a controller sometime tho :D You can connect pretty much any can't you? Even the Wii U Pro Controller?

Divinity seems frustrating so far. Like beyond the trial and error of previous CRPGs.

Yeah. I'm going to have to go back to it in earnest, but it's very punishing and vague.

Two things:

1:
Leave out the NW(?) gate. Top-left gate. It's the only one with enemies that are near your level. All the other exits drop you into lvl 7 encounters.

2:
You can't solve the first crime at the beginning of the game. I thought it was an intro quest, but you need to leave and go to other areas, so don't be too converned about resolving it.

I'm barely out of the start and I feel I've made no progress and I'm 10 hours in, lol.

Wasteland and Dragonfall are a lot snappier.

I have only spent $2.50 this sale. There is a lot i want but the discounts have being very poor. 60% is like the new 75%.
This.

My haul:

Prison Architect
Transistor
The Stanley Parable
You Need a Budget

In the past, I would've bought 20+ games easy. Worse sale ever and I've been around since the beginning.
