[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

I guess I see that if someone missed a sale, this is a good chance to pick up the "best of." However I'm a little personally annoyed about Left 4 Dead 2, it's "on sale" today for the same price it has been the entire holiday sale. I'd been waiting hoping to get a little more of a discount, but I'll grab it today. I also would have loved to see some small token discount ($5 even?) on MW2. Thing of it is, I've gotten so many other games over the past two weeks, that I might not need to get MW2 at all now! :)

It was a good run though. im sure lots of you guys picked up more games than you'll get around to playing. :lol:

Yep, you're right there. I picked up Star Wars KOTOR, and the id Super Pack (which has 22 titles in total), and I probably won't get around to play all of them, but it's because my graphics card isn't in my PC. :p I just need to get a modern power supply and then I can use it again.

My only regret is not buying C & C 3 or the Civilization series.

In the end I bought:

Prey

Left 4 Dead 1

Crysis Pack

Mass Effect

Horror games dont appeal to me so I'm not buying Killing Floor or STALKER.

I still want to buy a modern game but L4D's Co-Op gameplay doesnt appeal to me and I'm not paying $60 for MW 2. :p

I was hoping to see Modern Warfare 1 get 50% off today to go along with my World at War bargain, but oh well. I went ahead and picked up Ghostbusters today, and Counter-Strike: Source before the deals changed.

I was thinking of picking up a couple other games, but I've spent enough money. :p

Final List was:

Defense Grid

Star Wars: Jedi Knight pack (Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy)

Empire: Total War

Rome: Total War Gold

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Deus Ex: GOTY Edition

Braid

Audiosurf

Battlefield 2 Collection

World in Conflict / World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

Dead Space

Jade Empire

Call of Duty: World at War

Max Payne

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Half-Life: Source

Doom Collection (Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, Master Levels, Doom 3, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil)

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY

Counter-Strike: Source

Ghostbusters

:D

I was tempted by the Civilization IV pack, but didn't go for it in the end, as I'm not really a big fan of the PC ones. The console version (Civilization Revolution) is my favourite.

    • But they will be the first asking for a bail out the moment crap goes sideways. Its just a matter of time with this AI thing unless skynet gets us first.
    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
