    Unlikely. However, you may run into problems if you've used your credit card for purchases previously on steam.

    Bastion in the Community Choice for 3.49? Yes please.

    Really hoping XCom comes up again, missed it the first time around.

    Arma2 now 50% off, €12.49.

    Passing on it myself, as much as I'd like DayZ, I'm holding out for XCom as my final purchase.

    I'm fairly disappointed with the sale so far. A lot of the games have been significantly cheaper elsewhere over the past couple of weeks, even with 50% off. It doesn't stop me from regularly checking it though!

    And that's portal 2 bought, that's my wishlist sorted.

    Now unless anything incredible shows up that should be me done for this sale.

    Hard to believe before the thq humble bundle just a week or two ago I only had the orange box on steam, now I have 38 games :D

    Its only okay, after the first level or two its gets zzzzz and the kill shots become repetitive.

    Yeah, I had an inkling that shooting the nuts off of Germans would get a bit boring after a while.

    The Multilayer does not look great either.

    I enjoyed it a fair bit, getting nut shots is still one of the most enjoyable parts for me :D

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is 50% off atm, so €24.82.
    http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/

    It's in the flash sales atm so about 8 hours remaining at that price.
    Very tempted, hard to imagine it'll be any cheaper on steam during the Xmas sales....
    but you never know.

    Also DLC for Skyrim is 50% off too.
    Hearthfire- €2.47 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/220760/
    Dawngaurd €9.92 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/211720/

    No region locking issues, it's the opposite, there's titles in Ireland you can't buy over here :mad:

    FINALLY started buying stuff in the sale. Bought SSFIV Arcade and Dawnguard went to 50% so grabbed that too :pac:

    A shade cheaper on GMG and just over €20 on Gamestop. It's a Steamworks game so might as well save a few euro.

    It's up for the Community vote now, so if you hold off it might go down to 50% off.

    The annoying thing like this is that most of these games won't run on my laptop :/

    It's a repetitive monotonous slog. Cookie cutter design. I was bored with it within and few hours and very glad I rented it (xbox 360).

    Definitely. I have it on steam, almost 80 hours put in, and I'm still not tired of it. I have one character I use for playing co-op with some friends, and another for solo play, with a few others I dip in and out of.

    Its nothing like that he said.

    Worth it at 40 quid tbh but play it in coop its where the game shines. Still a very good SP game just better in coop.
