Well, got Dark Crusade finally. First purchase this sale, waiting for the Ys games again and some Sleeping Dogs dlcs, can't imagine wanting anything more for now.
Time for an upgrade.

I haven't bought anything. Feels like these games have been on sale off and on all year... years even. By the way, is there an easy way to limit download speed on Steam? trying to play a multi-player game while downloading

The save glitches haven't been fixed and Telltale openly said that they don't have plans for a patch for the PC version.
I got in the Autumn sale and regret it. Attempted to play it two times and both times my save games got screwed up during or before Episode 3.
Some users on the Telltale forums (which are full of complaints) came up with solutions for the glitches, but that didn't work for me. And what did Telltale do about it? Nothing. What a shitty company.

I very much enjoyed playing through SoC and Clear Sky but it's very hard for me to recommend Stalker to just anyone. It's vague both in terms of story and getting used to the gameplay mechanics. Once you find your stride, though, SoC is a fantastic experience of dealing with radiation anomalies, rummaging through spooky mutant-infested facilities, and looting the bodies of bandit camps you must tactically take out. Also there's a bit of non-fleshed out survival mechanics (sleep, hunger, blood)
I keep tabs on each big Steam on a Google doc and I noticed that in the last 3 big sales (Summer and Winter 2011 and Summer 2012) each time I spend more money. I also remember thinking that each sale was worse than the earlier. And if things go as they seem on these first 3 days, I might spend even more money this time around.
I don't know about these sales being so bad as people say/perceive.

It looks cool, but I don't know...
I'd say skip it. You probably have enough to play and it could be cheap/or the same price in another sale.
Waiting for this and Endless Space.
Haven't bought anything yet, but a couple of gifts.
That coupon code is dead.

I am hoping this happens. I would even settle for 25%.
sonofa....
A lot of it is the fact that people have already acquired most of the games they want. So from their perspective its a 'bad' sale because they already own all the games.
For some reason people struggle to look past that objectively. I got a couple friends like that on steam who always message me about it. Annoys me to no end.
It is arguable that it has been a poor sale on steams part since they are getting stomped by amazon, GMG, etc.
Everyone buy this game.
You won't regret it.

Question for all: A friend wants to know what games other than COD have unlocking gun mechanics?

That Chivalry offer sucks!
I could have picked up the game about six weeks ago in a GMG sale for the same price.
C'mon son.

Well crap. Oh well, let's see if there's anything nice in the Daily Deals.
Pretty sure I picked the game up during the steam sale a month or so ago.

Worst Steam Sale ever. At this rate I'll buy more off Amazon than Steam during the course of the sale.
EDIT: Whoa, did the prices just change? This looks better now.
