Huge Steam Sale going on RIGHT now.


Recommended Posts

I must confess that I've purchased my fair share of games on Steam sales and then never actually got around to playing them. Civ 4 Colonization, Resident Evil 5, Trine, and Empire Total War are all in my list of purchased games, but I haven't even installed all of them yet. Those Steam sales are just so tempting because you see a game that you're moderately interested in, and you don't know if it will ever be available for that price again. Either that or the sale price is so small compared to what we're used to paying (especially for those of us who are also console gamers) that they almost turn into impulse buys.

I don't get the fascination with RE5. It's...just...dull.

I finally realized I was never actually going to care enough to work through it and deleted it a few weeks ago.

I have a VIP account, so most of the games on my account are not paid for they are VIP'ed. I do however when there is a sale and the game I want or wanted isn't on my list, buy them. Like now :D

No it's a comped account from Valve. I used to work for Neowin and another site doing gaming news and reviews.

Damn, I want one of those. laugh.gif

I'm tempted by the Bionic Commando Pack. Both games for ?8.

What about Borderlands? It's on sale today for ?6.79. There's no demo, so I can't test it out for myself, but what do you guys think?

I didn't personally like it single player, but it is a lot of fun multiplayer co-op. The only problem is you basically have to cater to the lowest level player

Just picked up Beat Hazard, hopefully find some time to play at some point soon.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say I bought that too. I was planning to buy it tomorrow, but hooray, they made it even cheaper for today! :D

At least most of the Neowin members practice moderation and only buy what they want to play. I've read people (on Reddit and other sites) who simply buy it and have a huge library of 60+ games they have yet to play. It's quite sad to see that happen and makes you question their intelligence.

I purchased over 80 games in this sale - But there is reason for it.

1) I WILL get around to playing them and they are games I want to play.

2) I won't need to buy any more games (Aside from TDU2) for a long long time now - I'm talking more than a couple of years here.

The sale meant I could stock up on loads of games for cheap - Why does this make me stupid?

I was excited that at noon yesterday X3 Reunion and X3 Terran Conflict started the 24 hour sale at $19.99 for both. When I got home from happy hour, it was not offered for that price. :angry: So, I still ended up buying Terran Conflict for $19.99 cause I heard it was a good game for space simulation.

About to pick up Overlord + Beat Hazard + Introversion Pack + Prototype for less than $25 :laugh: . Don't know if I should get Borderlands too, don't think I would play it.
