    The shine has gone off the Steam sales for me, there are far cheaper websites offering better deals all year round then the 2-3 sales Steam have a year. Shop elsewhere, they rip you off on new releases!

    Sorry read the title of the thread again. Steam sale. This is the veterans section mate. We don't buy them new. We buy them on sale. As for Skyrim dlc. Give me a break lads and go the whole hog ffs. Just finished Two Worlds bought from some long forgotten sale and if you like open world games then just get that and go to town. O.k forget about the story and the dialog, Skyrim 'aint much to write to home about anyway, and just revel in the open world goodness Two Worlds provides. Next up for me is Two Worlds 2 for more of that open world goodness. As for the sale a quick look at my wishlist tells me that Sleeping Dogs is the only thing I really want at the moment. Steam Sale will change that I'm sure.

    Aw, f*ck. Another one? This is getting ridiculous, soon Valve will possess all the money in the world, ever.

    Me too ,
    I also picked up the Painkiller complete pack when it was the weeklong deal at -75% :D
    God knows when I'll get around to playing them :D



    I only started Assassin's Creed 3 yesterday , I got it when it was the daily deal a few weeks back .


    I'm going to have to stop looking at special offers , my backlog is showing no signs of getting any shorter :)

    Is there a site that you can type in the name of a game and see the cheapest price across a few sites?

    Yes, dlcompare.com

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Out of interest, how good a machine do you need to use steam?

    It's the games you need to worry about, steam will run on almost any computer. Older games will run on most half decent systems too, whereas newer ones mostly need discrete graphics (although Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics can run some at lower settings).

    You can use this link to check your specs against games, its not always accurate though so make sure you look at the details its giving you.

    Another virgin here. I've already bought 7 games this week, and thanks to paypal i don't actually have to have money in my account to buy, so i can see me spending the following weeks wages and being broke/hungry for 2 weeks when this sale starts...

    First sale was the worst for me.Bought almost anything I saw.Bought so much **** that was going for 1 euro that I knew I'd never play and picked up loads of oldies and classics. At the end of the 2 weeks, I think I had over 150 games and was about 4 or 5 hundred quid down.Needless to say was hiding that months credit card bill from the wife.Promised myself it would never happen again ,but.....

    I re-installed Skyrim earlier and I was about to go looking for where I backed up my save game to restore it but now I see I don't have to. It stored my saves in the cloud and re-installed all my mods for me.

    Now that I think about it it's a pretty obvious feature but it was a nice surprise all the same.

    They usually do; because if you manage to dodge one bullet the other once are guaranteed to get you :(

    I have 90 games in my library, have downloaded only 8 games.

    I bought so much in the last two sales and barely touched anything. I'm playing mostly League of Legends at the moment. Just picked up a PS3 over the weekend aswell and a few titles so that should keep me occupied.

    CANT WAIT TO SPEND MY BOLLOX!

    You think that's bad? I only got my pc last August and my annual broadband bill came in February, turned out I went 240GB over my cap all because the majority of games I bought at the Christmas sale I downloaded. I wasn't happy with myself because of the amount I spent on games and the bill :(

    -75% on Far Cry 3 would be pretty awesome, not sure I'll get much else.

    Skyrim DLCs and Dishono(u)red for me.

    Been waiting for Dawnguard and Dishonored to go to 75% off since I decided not to buy them at 50% off last year, and then refusing to buy during any other -50% sale out of principle.

    Was in the two for 12 EUR sale so I'd expect that drop to 75% in a flash sale if nothing else.

    A good idea is to make a list of everything you want. If it's not on the list - don't buy. Might save you buying loads of stuff you'll never play.
