My ideal situation would be similar to this I think. I've got 11.50 in my wallet in terms of disposable income so FTL 2.50, Awesomenauts 2.50, and Torchlight 2 for 5.00 would pretty much make my Christmas.

Amazon beats Steam on some deals, Steam beats Amazon on some deals, GreenManGaming is almost always best for new releases. I'm pretty happy about the whole thing. Sales are insane these days and it feels like there's been some major sale going on for over a month. New gaming PC owners have to be losing their mind.

66% is a losers percentage. I'm a winner dammit.
I guess they want Valve to invent dozens of new games just so they can be put on sale?

Yep
Too easy
I guess if you get all 6 the Tree will be decorated with candles and other stuff. (?)
I wanted this, but heard it's a poor man's clone of Deus Ex. Will wait for the real DE 1 & 2 to go 75% off.
Oh man, i would be all over that THQ collection if I didn't own most of the games in the pack already. Hopefully there will be a better deal on Darksiders 2 later on.
Nothing of interest on todays deal for me. I would recommend Batman games for the last few of you who hasn't played it yet. Great games.

Most definite yay in my book, although i'm a biased alpha ordered who had over 200 hours in the beta. Sales are the best time to get into the game because of the big rush of players. The learning curve is steep and can be unforgiving. The greatest commanders will make the game feel like it's playing itself, and you are a small part in a big team coordinating attacks and defending intruders. I have had some of the most intense and exciting action in Natural Selection 2, and I can't suggest it enough.
On the downside, loading times are kind of long, sometimes your team just gets destroyed, and it needs some decent hardware to be playable.
there's obviously a ton of new games each sale but I think they are put on sale on a nice balance between the old ones
my biggest complaint here is the 6 dailies instead of the higher number. I dont get the complaints about "wow this sucks [X service] has better prices!" so? that's a good thing, just buy them there, and get the occasional better deal from Steam. Complaining over nothing. What people are basically saying is that some of the better deals changed venues, but they're still available. Weird.
Curious too.

It is only "bad" because people want achievements to play .... even if it was just for a badge or a tf2 hat

I'm wondering the same. There is a bundle for $60 that includes 3,4, and the new one for preorder. I wonder if it will go cheaper than that.

In case you missed it in the other thread, Amazon is selling the entire Darksiders franchise (1, 2, all DLC) for $13.20. Redeemable on Steam. I'm tempted.

Is Red Faction Guerrilla no longer available on Steam?
In the same predicament! Never seen it cheaper, but daily? Who knows!
Fuck this "sale." I just threw my Sager gaming laptop in the garbage, what's the point if the deals are this bad on Steam? Anyone who thinks this is a good sale should just crawl in a hole and slit their own throat.
I actually like the sale but I also like impersonating hour 1 Steam sale rage

Huh. They dropped the Fable 3 price. Wasn't going to bite at 50%, but will grab it at 75% as I traded in an still sealed 360 copy for Steam Wallet credit. And my brother told me to grab Dishonored from GMG as my christmas present so my backlog is growing. More.

Here is a link to that DmC bundle

Does anyone think this will go cheaper?

Separate keys? Like I said, I already have the first Darksiders.
It begins! I hate you Credo (but I love you at the same time)!
got that so long ago, still havent played it
I really want to, thanks for reminding me
I laughed.
Also, wasn't there some sort of steam secret santa last year? Or was it the classic secret santa (I missed this year, again)?
Oh so I'm a valve hater now? :lol

Yeah. It has seperate Keys for each Game and each tiny little Weapon DLC.
Hopefully someone knows the answer to this... I bought the Darksiders pack on Amazon, and it includes a separate code for the Season Pass and The Abyssal Forge. Now, when I put in the code for the Season Pass it gave me the Abyssal Forge, does this mean I just have a spare code for The Abyssal Forge?

I can get that to a point, once you are up around 500 games in your library, the sale becomes more of a stealth assassination game than a zombie apocalypse of gaming gore. Having an 'event' to participate in keeps it fresh.
They are similar in idea, but not necessarily in execution.
The Deus Ex games give you what? Like 4 or 5 'real' augments (along with another half dozen or so that or more like stat boosts rather than new abilities) that change how you can play the game/approach scenarios and the game is balanced around all of them. EYE ups that number to probably around 12-20, but the game loses some focus/balance in the process. Ultimately, how much you can overlook the game's faults will determine how much you get out of it. Personally, I really liked it. And it's got style out the wazoo. And co-op! Imagine playing Deus Ex in co-op. But you can't! Only in EYE ;D

If I bought the THQ pack, would I be able to put duplicates/games that don't interest me on steamgifts at all? Or is pack tied to one unifying steam key.

Darksider 1 + Darksider 2 with all DLC is around $13.19 on amazon.
just get someone to gift it to you

I don't know, but DS2 + all the DLC for it for 13 bucks isn't bad. Even if you get a DS1 that you don't need.
Best case scenario for Steam is probably 75% off, and that's $12.50 and doesn't include the DLC.
Amazon deal only lasts another day, though. Decisions.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Making a promise right now. Credo already knows about this, but might as well copy and paste it here so that everyone will be living proof of this.
I, Yoshichan, will play ALL of the games (no exception) that I will get - be it me buying the game, or getting it gifted. And I don't mean "start the game up and then quit", I mean PLAY as in PLAY until I either get bored of it or beat it.
There. Done. I can't edit this out. GG.

I'm not sure I like the sound of unforgiving but i'll bite anyway - I love online games in which I feel like i'm part of something bigger, so this sounds right up my alley. The visuals look extremely good and I have a GTX570 so I should run it without issue.

No gifts, the duplicates will just vanish.
Oh no, this time I finished Spec Ops (which I bought from Amazon) and Hotline Miami. I'm also playing The Witcher, so in fact I played more games from the Autumn Sale than the Summer one.
I loved Sands of Time, hated what little of Warrior Within I played and still think I'll probably buy the franchise pack. So yeah, it's worth it if only for SoT.
