[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.

    • Sure is a shame that Google spent all of its efforts on maximizing milking ###### ad revenue instead of actually improving their once ubiquitous and best-in-class search engine with, say, a useful AI that could actually improve search results... /S
    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
