I love Steam sales! It's always a great chance to pick up some really good games for at least half off. So far, I've gotten Dear Esther, Limbo, and SW:KOTR. What about you guys?
I bought SW:KOTOR after hearing so much hoopla about it from people. The price was too good to pass up. I also bought The Basement Collection, Zeno Clash (Only .90 for an amazingly weird and fun game!) , and Jet Set Radio which I have been wanting to play for a really long time. Also, as a reminder to posters in this thread, please don't share your Steam info here.
As a person who has skipped and resisted every last steam sale, I've finally made some purchases . Age of Empires III and Civilizations V with the expansion as well.
Picked up Europa Universalis III for 50% off. I've been waiting for that to go on sale forever now (as if $15 is a lot of money to begin with, but I prefer discounts if I know they're coming). Wasn't even aware Steam had a fall sale.
I swore up and down I'd never buy the Walking Dead until it was complete and on sale..... One would think 50% off after it was complete was divine providence!
Having played both Minecraft and Terraria I can honestly say I enjoy Terraria better. I am not even sue why.....2d seems more limited. But I just do.
It's like nonexistent-Jesus is TELLING you to buy it! I ended up buying an XBOX 360 on a whim last night. I went out Black Friday shopping just looking for a sound bar for my roommate at Wal-Mart, and I got to the checkout and saw a woman in front of me buying an XBOX 360 for $150. I commented on what a good deal that was, and the cashier whipped one out from behind her register and asked me if I wanted it since somebody else had waited in line to pick it up and then ended up not having enough money to buy it. I said yes figuring my boyfriend wouldn't appreciate me spending all our extra cash on a gaming console we don't really have games for anymore. When I woke up this morning, he had been playing Skylanders (which came with it) for 5 hours :lol:. How wrong I was to think I was going to be frowned at and told to return it! But yeah, long story short, no more Steam games! I've spent enough on gaming this week!
Well, Awesomenauts was free for a while so I tried it out, then bought it during the steam sale, so I guess that counts, although it's practically free anyway. Pretty "awesome" game... Hehehe. It's basically a multi-layer RTS. One of the maps is practically a 3 floor DotA, and the hero genres are much like it too. Definitely worth a try.
I am so sad I can't just zone out playing video games like that anymore. I work to much and whatnot.... Still, I am somewhat angry I recall paying 500 US dollars for my Xbox and now it's like nothing to pick one up.
Isn't being an adult and having a job awful :lol:? I feel you about the Xbox -- same story with PS3s! I got one at launch 5 years ago now and fought to pay $600 for it. Now, they're easy as hell to get. My roommate picked one up last year for $199 and they're even cheaper this year :lol:. Though at least I can say my PS3 has lasted. 5 years, about 10 different moves, some cross-country, and that baby is still kicking <3. I bet I could sell it for more than what a new one now goes for since they quite quickly stopped making them PS2-backward-compatible, but mine is.
