Steam Christmas Sale 2012 (20th Dec to 4th Jan)

Antar Bolaeisk

Breaking with tradition Steam are going to have a large sales during the Christmas period.

Prepare wallets for ramming speed!

Dates confirmed by a Tamas Bako, CEO at Artery Studios, though probably subject to change, mileage may vary and products may contain nuts.

This might be the first Christmas sale I don't buy anything, my backlog is just too huge at this stage (only getting around to playing Planescape: Torment now for instance

).

Anything you're particularly holding out for or just looking forward to all the random, cheap games you'll probably never play and wonder where they came from two years down the line?

It's quite different from Dead Rising. Imagine Skyrim set on an island with zombies and you have the gist of it.

Feck, you may have sold me on it there!

Is it a slow moving, serious, tricky survival type game or more of a cartoon, point based comedy violence thing like Dead Rising? Im looking for the former.

Playing it all day its quite good. No real point in getting guns when you have a baseball bat with a circular saw stuck onto it :pac:

Lots of squishy squishy smashy smashy

Coop looks good too, drop in and out

It's flawed as hell but well worth getting at that price.

Cannot decide whether to bother with Dead Island at this price or just wait for the (hopefully better) sequel.

Caved in and grabbed Binary Domain. Have been meaning to pick it up for the past few months as it really was one of this years hidden gems.

I forgot i bought Grand Theft Auto IV and GTA Episodes from Liberty City, in a past sale [just studying my steam games list here lol], are they worth downloading?

They were fun back in the day haha but I'm not sure if people still go on. Needs a good computer to run it though, wasn't the best port (performance wise) in my opinion.

It is very rare for a game to be region locked between the US and EU, most publishers just ring fence off Russia and Eastern europe. Dead Island is the only game I know of that goes further but there may be others so it is best to make sure in advance of purchase.

Yeah just bought it man, np's activating it. Just had to setup a amazon account with a US address as you can't buy it without one. saved £5 anyway on the steam 20% off anyway.

Its only $30 on amazon for the steam key. The odd game is region locked (Dead Island) but the vast majority wouldn't be. Maybe google to make sure fm2013 isn't.

I'll leave it for a few days then, maybe it'll go 40/50%. No rush for it anyway i guess.

reckon the Football manager 2013 will end up in the sale ?

I'm fairly sure FM 2012 was on last year's sale (I remember nearly buying it and then getting it as a present) so if that's the case there's definitely a chance FM13 will be on this year.

Angron

Well it's 25% off at the moment. It might go down a bit more, but it's hard to say cause it's still relatively new.

To hell with it, 15Euro....and if the mad craze surrounding it is anything to go by then it will be the best 15 we ever spent.

Can't believe I've waited this long. I was holding out for the Standalone that was supposed to be coming out this month but now it seems that the developer has gone nuts so we won't be seeing it for a while....

Whats this now?

Actually just spotted the walking dead is only $12.50 on amazon.com. Presuming that the US steam version would likely be region free that is a good deal.

Anyone bought it from there that could confirm?

I bought it. Haven't played it yet, but it activated and when I tried to boot it up now, it started downloading an update so looks like it's working fine. I know there are loads of others who bought it from there.

Anno 2070 is a tenner on Gamefly. Disappointed it's 20 on sale. Will buy Chivalry though.

It's not great. I wouldn't bother.

You can sort of Sim City things up a bit and that's fairly amusing but when you can just get Sim City for 2.50 you'd be better off doing that.

3 mins looking at Steam sale and 22euro spent.

Dead island goty, the walking dead, Sim City 4

what are the stalker games like?
are they rpg fps or just fps?

worth a go at about £3 each?

Sort of a hybrid open world fps, no skill trees or anything like that progress is more based around getting better equipment/charms as you get further into the game.

Would be worth a go at far more than 3 quid each

Got Torchlight II yesterday, great game & enjoying it a lot more than I thought (FPS junkie:)).

Trying to find out if the widescreenfixer.org eyefinity fix still works for The Walking Dead, hope so as its high on the list.
