Doesn't seem like that for me?

This freaking sucks. I won't get my SS money until after the sale is over, so no games for me. Half the games I'm looking at are like super damn cheap (like $4 or $8 each) and other than Sleeping Dogs there wasn't a huge AAA title I wanted just smaller indie stuff, maybe an older game with a low price etc. But, like the last sale and the summer sale before that I miss out because my situation demands I not be able to do anything as usual money wise because, hey loser and ****.

But I hope you guys are getting some good stuff, pretty good deals on some games I must say. Especially on DLC this year it seems.

I hope you secured your socks.

Steam is running a reprise of their Holiday Sale (as the Steam Holiday Sale Encore).

I had absolutely no clue what was in the original sale - however, from what I saw *today* (the sale is currently running) - among the shocks is the entire current Crysis Collection (original, Warhead, and C2 Maximum Edition) for $19.99 (which is $10 less than C2 Maximum Edition by itself). (You can purchase either the original or C2 Maximum for $9,99 - Warhead is $4.99.)

I really need to find out when this sale croaks.

Should you be spending SS disability money on games anyway?

What else would I be spending it on, food? I already do that. That's all I use it for, the rest is rent. My birthday is at the end of this month, I wanted to get a few things I've been wanting for awhile. So I'll go without some potato chips or some other crap that's all. Nothing much else in my life, so gaming is all I have pretty much. Hence, the loser thing.

Alright so i ended up getting 3 games, but still debating Arma II combined operations. Just not too sure i'd enjoy the graphics after playing bf3 for so long, plus arma III will eventually be released.

I ended up getting:
Worms Revolutions, Torchlight II, and Sleeping Dogs.

They said torchlight II was a bit like diablo, i've played neither, but i've been wanting to get diablo III because i heard it was good, but the price is still too high, and some reviews said torchlight II was as good if not better, so i got it.
played it for about 10 min so far and havent been able to really get into or enjoy it , so maybe its not for me. Will try more.

So far i've been disappointed by the same sales. Was the same games on sale over and over for about the same price, and i'm almost positive their voting thing is full of **** and rigged lol.

^ I think you'll dig Sleeping Dogs. I enjoyed it. TLII is also pretty sweet.

For those who did not play Witcher the first and second games can be bought for a total of 9.98 curently. Awesome deal if you ask me.

[+Lingwo]

I agree. The Witcher games are brilliant.
In a time where developers are messing up RPG's. The Witcher and the sequel nail it.

I've been quite disappointed by the Steam sales this year. The games on offer have all been on offer before for similar prices/cheaper (especially on GreenManGaming), I haven't found myself buying very much this year but in every other sale I've been refraining from buying the publisher packs!

Do you think, maybe, that those other places have the games on sale because Steam puts them on sale?

I was disappointed Dirt 3 never seemed to go on sale, but other than that, I got just about every game I wanted (XCOM, Dark Souls, Max Payne 3) for dirt cheap on either Steam, Greenman, or Amazon.

k i finally got ARMA II combined operations. Its alot of wondering around figuring out what i'm supposed to do. hopefully it'll get funner once i learn haha.

Also thinking about getting Natural Selection 2. looks good.

So i might end up getting 6 games from this sale after all.

Got Sleeping Dogs for £2.69...

The best deal in this whole sale I would say...

Really? Wow, I had definitely never thought of that before!

In every other Steam sale, Steam have had the games cheaper than elsewhere; not the case this time. Hence the disappointment.

Right, because other places had them on sale for even cheaper than Steam. I don't understand how people can be disappointed by this! Most of the other places were just selling Steam codes too... there was literally no difference except the price being lower.
