I still can't get over that John Travolta meme, makes me laugh every time.

Dair76 · 17-12-2015 06:07PM

I've never been less excited for a Steam sale as I am for this one. No community vote or flash sales, nothing on my wishlist likely to be heavily discounted... I can only hope there's some idiotic side game involving trading and badge crafting. :pac:

Varik · 17-12-2015 06:11PM

Some total war DLC to buy if that shows up but overall I'm good.

TetraxShard · 17-12-2015 06:55PM

Just Minecraft: Story Mode, South Park Stick of Truth and maybe War for the Overworld for me thanks. And the badge, of course.

pablomakaveli · 17-12-2015 08:27PM

Setting myself a budget this time. Main priority is to get Phantom Pain at least. Maybe grab a couple of more of my wishlist too.

Manach · 17-12-2015 10:41PM

Same rules as usual though: buy much play none?

SeantheMan · 18-12-2015 12:53AM

We get these threads 3=4 times a year for the past few years now.
Immediately the same posts and memes appear...and then the

-I gotta hide my wallet / lose my card
-I already have too many games
-I'm waiting for XYZ to go on sale, hopefully it will

Am I the only one not excited for STEAM sales anymore ? (probably because list most I have a backlog of games to work through and don't want to add more unecessarily......but probably still will)
Also due to the rise of so many 'serial/cd key' sites and the likes of GOG, that make games pretty much just as cheap all year round

CastorTroy · 18-12-2015 01:32AM

Not forgetting the last one was less than a month ago. Would there be much difference?

Links234 · 18-12-2015 02:09AM

Steam has 2 main sales, the summer sale and the Christmas sale, so expect more from this one than the one last month.

CraigM84 · 18-12-2015 05:03AM

ah steam sales

the time when you spend and then not play what ya get for about 6 months and then one day 'oh yeah forgot i had that!!'

I've tried to buy Witcher 2 at least twice on sales now (while owning it

)

I cringe at those Gabe Newell/Steam memes/gifs that gets trotted out at every sale.
They're universally awful (apart from John Travolta).

Having said that, I have about 20 items in my wishlist, so we'll see what happens.

I won't buy much this sale...is something that a try to convince myself of every time.

Robert ninja · 18-12-2015 02:13PM

If tabletop sim gets 50% or more I'm definitely gonna nab it. Want to play Omega Virus and Key to the Kingdom.

Manach · 18-12-2015 02:15PM

I'd be tempted by Killing Floor 2 and Elite. Though for the latter, I'd presume a good flight stick needed.

mahoganygas · 18-12-2015 02:23PM

I took a break from PC gaming for about 10 years then came back to it about 2 years ago.

I'm lucky because there are so many great games from the past decade that I'm still only just discovering. Steam sales are a fantastic opportunity for me to pick up quality old games for pennies.

I haven't spent more than â‚¬15 on a game. Why pay â‚¬60 on Fallout 4 when I have the fallout back catalogue to get through first?

I'm lucky to be stuck in this time warp

Links234 · 18-12-2015 02:24PM

What is everyone hoping for?

Mr. CooL ICE · 18-12-2015 02:31PM

Given up on games due to RL issues. But I'm pissed that I missed Cities: Skylines in the last sale so am hoping for 50% off again.

a good flight stick really improves this game no end but a tflight hotas x is cheap but really good one, can be picked up on amazon for around €40 new although cex does have them from time to time

Hoping to get the dreampack 2 and 3 for Assetto Corsa at a good price, nothing else really.

MGS5
Hard West
Pillars of Eternity
Undertale
Kerbal (currently at -40% ...Will it go lower?)

CastorTroy · 18-12-2015 03:00PM

Resident Evil HD

I'd be surprised to not see Kerbal go for a 60 or 75% discount.

Turtwig · 18-12-2015 03:16PM

Kerbal was only released this year. Think anything above 50% off would be surprising.

Carmageddon is what I'm looking for.

ionapaul · 18-12-2015 03:51PM

I've my eye on three games for the most part:

The Witcher 3 (it was at €29.99 recently, will probably pick it up at this if it doesn't drop further)
GTA V (it's actually currently on sale at €35, which is above my 'comfort zone' for a game that's been out as long as it has! Not sure if I'll pick it up at a €30+ price, but would definitely do so below this)
Fallout 4 (would only get it with a decent discount, so doubtful this will be happening in the forthcoming sale!)

Links234 · 18-12-2015 03:55PM

I've already got my most wanted, Witcher 3 and Undertale, as Christmas presents from my girlfriend, and my next most wanted is Life is Strange, which might be in the Square Enix Myster Box. Other than that, I'm hoping for a decent discount on Sunless Sea.

Hard West looks great, and might be seriously tempting, but I think I might wanna hold off on that because I've got Valkyria Chronicles, and picked up XCom: Enemy Within a while back too. We'll see what looks interesting.
