Holiday Steam Sales Event.. What did you guys get?

[Collector_Gaming]

What did you guys get for this steam sales event?!?!?

So far I just picked up Borderlands GOTY edition for 7.49. Never played it and buddy of mines like all over my case about getting it and beating it and getting 2 because i'll supposedly love it... So we shall see!

[kupomogli]

Didn't get anything on Steam, but I purchased Might and Magic 1-6 on GOG for $5. I would have purchased the complete collection for $25, but I've never played a Heroes of Might and Magic game so don't know if they're any good. The entire collection for $25 sale is over now.

[JSoup]

Nothing for myself, so far. Got a friend the Time Gentlemen, Please + Ben There, Dan That two pack for $1.

Man, I don't know... Looking at the first two days of this sale, it just seems like they keep putting the same games up for sale over and over. Mirror's Edge, Batman Arkham Asylum, etc, etc. Same old games we bought last year for $4.99. I hope we see some new stuff thrown into the mix and the super reduced prices. (Crysis 2 would be nice)

[BHvrd]

Grabbed Torchlight 2 for $9.99, thought about Borderlands 2 but even at $29.99 it isn't such a great deal as the season pass still costs $29.99 as well, just gonna wait on GOTY edition at this point.

I suggest Arma II: Combined Operations to anyone who hasn't purchased it as the DayZ mod is to date one of the best games out there, it's at -40% atm but i'm sure it will be -50-75% soon.

Yeah, it's bound to hit 75% eventually. I'm (not so) patiently waiting.

Every Steam Holiday sale is someone's first.

Crysis 2 is almost guaranteed to hit super sale status; it was five bucks or something similar three weeks ago during the Thanksgiving sale. Look out for the Crysis Complete bundle, where you receive all three games for eight bucks.

The Heroes games are awesome. I've never actually played a standard M&M game but Heroes 3 is probably my most played classic game of all time.

[dgdgagdae]

So far just the DLC for Serious Sam 3, which is 75% off. I see that Half-Minute Hero is $3.39 right now. That was one of my favorite PSP games, I might pick that up.

... that goes down to $5 during every sale. Always. Hell it was on sale at Amazon (steam key) for less!

I haven't really bought anything, I already own a ton of stuff from past sales, Amazon, and indie bundles. I'm spending more money on GOG this year.

[YoshiM]

What if it is $6.25?

Aside from Indie Bundles, I don't buy many Steam games these days. I'm mainly keeping my eye on a few point-and-click games that I'm interested in and a few others that are currently cheap.

[YoshiM]

I'm going to have to pass. I actually made a rule for myself awhile back. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy ANY game priced over $5. I made this declaration because my backlog was just starting to turn into an avalanche.


The amazing thing is, there are games that are below $5 that I'm seeing here and there, and I have to turn them down as well. Newegg or somebody had Fallout: New Vegas for 4 bucks. Green Man Gaming or somebody had Tomb Raider Anniversary for like $1.80 or something crazy like that. There was also that THQ bundle where I could have got a bunch of games for like 1 buck each. Still, I passed on all of that, because I need to be way more selective now. It's the only way I can cope with my neverending backlog.

At a certain point you have to draw a line in the sand and promise yourself that you'll never cross that line.

Wanna send any extra willpower my way? My backlog is also quite sizable, from classics to those Indie Bundles.

Yes, don't forget that the Humble Indie Bundle 7 is still active. Not the greatest, but they're probably going to add more later:
"The Binding of Isaac (and its DLC, Wrath of the Lamb), Closure, Shank 2, Snapshot, and Indie Game: The Movie! And if you pay over the average, you’ll also get Dungeon Defenders (and its DLC) and Legend of Grimrock!"

I'm still debating on whether I should beat the average. On the one hand, $6.40 for all that Dungeon Defenders DLC easily beats even Steam's price at the moment. On the other hand, I already own Dungeon Defenders and cannot imagine when I might actually get around to playing it.

[Kitsune Sniper]

If you don't want Dungeon Defenders, you can always give away the key to someone as a gift.

[Jorpho]

Eh... Humble Bundle tends to frown on that.

By the way, is anyone actually disappointed that Steam isn't running another insane play-all-these-games contest thingamajig this year?

[JSoup]

Eh... Humble Bundle tends to frown on that.

Well, to be fair, that's not an implicit "no, don't do that". One of the previous bundles later added a reduced version of the bundle just before it. I already had that and passed it off to a friend. I believe they just don't want you selling the codes.

[Lucifersam1]

So far I have gotten:

Oblivion GOTY - $4.99
Half-Life Complete- $9.99

Holding off on any recent releases until I see if my wife got me any for Christmas. If she did, hopefully she got them when they were cheap on Amazon!

[Zthun]

Nothing. I'm pretty much Humble Bundle exclusive at this point.

[Collector_Gaming]

Got batman Arkham city GOTY so i can finally complete that series. 15 bucks

Also just got RAGE for 5 bucks (right now its a Flash Sale for 5 bucks for the next 4 hours!)
