Spec Ops is a weird one, because I like the idea but find the execution very uninspiring. Some people have excused the lacklustre gameplay as being by design, but that doesn't make it any less boring. The much-vaunted "choice" is very binary, and some of the twists simply don't make sense. I found the Predator missions in CoD 4: Modern Warfare to be a more damning indictment of military bravado than the entirety of Spec Ops.
AGAIN? Where's Giana Sisters for 66% off? Where's Bit.Trip Core and Void?

If you want the base game only, then yes there is a lot of stuff for just a single player mode, plus there are 10 decks to play with. If you buy it the $10 you get additional decks as well. IMO get the $10 version, but if you're a little tight on cash, get the $5.
EDIT: Yay!

I tried my best not to give in to buying Sims 3 during the flash sale. Now it's a daily deal... I WILL RESIST.
... But, just out of curiosity, if I were to get Sims 3 and could only get one expansion pack, which one should I get? Generations?

Void is not included in the holiday sale.

Ugh, repeats. Can't catch a break. =/
I can join.
Apparently I have poor taste in wishlists. I always feel like there's hardly anything else on Steam I want to buy or something, but then I have 18 games on my wishlist...and I don't think any of those have been a daily or flash deal. I must choose better games!
I did get the first GalCiv game since I apparently only had the second one. I thought about Tropico 4 but then looked at the 7 DLC's and decided to just skip it. Maybe next time!

There isn't a single daily that we can say: "Well, at least we have this game"Opening Steam
Also SpecOps is 9.99$ at Amazon with Bioshock 1 and 2 included. So basically that isn't even a deal.

I think if ARMA II was under $10,I'd jump on it just to try Day-Z. Looks lie amazon it is for AC Rev.

I am, if you can find two more that haven't already bought the thing.
Still not a single daily deal purchased, wow. But on the bright side, I'm pretty thrilled with all of my purchases/gifts over the past few weeks. Amazon and GMG have got me covered.
I would love some of those The Sims expansions but even 50-66% off, they're so expensive. The Sims Medieval might be fun, kinda on the fence with that one...

Ooh me? Edit: I just realized I haven't refreshed in years. Not even gonna think about how beaten I am.

Is it that hard to discount The Witcher 2? Oh but make way for Walking Dead like 80 times over the course of the sales. I get that its hot shit right now but come on.

There's no entitlement involved. This sale hasn't offered much of anything that feels on par not only with previous Steam sales, but especially what GMG/Amazon has been offering lately. It's understandable that people (myself included) are disappointed.
Twitcher 2 was already discounted at least once.
No matter what, your first sale is the most magical.
If you're just starting up your PC game collection every day is magical. People are getting disapointed because they already own a lot of the older titles and the newer ones aren't having as strong sales as hoped. Still an amazing deal overall.

Wasnt the Game like 5$ on Amazon a few months back?
Thats not it imo. I remember the last Wintersale had a lot of different Games on Sale. And if you missed one Game, you had to wait for the last day.
Now it is like all 3-4 days the sales will repeat. Some Games arent wont have a big discount. Thats what I think is kinda sad. And GMG, Amazon, etc. even offers better prices.
Anno 2077 is like 6€ at getgamesgo, while it is 22€ at Steam...
Steam, where is my Fallout sale? I really want New Vegas
gmg has it for 4,99 euro and (hopefully) a 30% off code.
might do you right?
I did get the first GalCiv game since I apparently only had the second one. I thought about Tropico 4 but then looked at the 7 DLC's and decided to just skip it.
There is only one DLC worth getting for Tropico 4 and that is the Modern Times expansion. Skip the rest.
Not that the updated prices are much better...
They're fine, really.
I guess I am in for the walking dead. Passed up on the last 2 times it was on sell across the internet and even if it turns up cheaper some where else it's not like $12 is all that much in the first place.
To be fair it's only because everyone is beating Steam at their own game now. Most of the stuff that has shown up on Steam winter sales so far has been cheaper on other websites that just activate on Steam anyway.
In fact walking dead will be the first thing I've bought this winter on Steam itself. Everything else has been on Amazon.

Probably. I don't frequent the US Amazon website so I must have missed it. Would love to purchase it for $5 if given the chance.
I have plenty I'd buy. But I'm not buying stuff I don't need unless there's an incentive. Mr. Valve Economist can go fuck off with these discounts of late. He's killed everything that was fun about these things.
