Steam Sale 2012 - What games emptied your wallet?

[Trololo Punk]

So far I have picked up,

Binding of Issac: Wrath of the Lamb for $1.49
Total war Shogun 2 along with Rise of the Samurai for $9 (Already own Fall of the Samurai)
And Metro 2033 for $3.49

Thinking of picking up Arma 2 and maybe Crusader Kings 2 as well as anything else that goes up for sale that interests me.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Nothing so far. I honestly just haven't seen anything interesting enough.

 

[WorriedSandwich]

So far I've bought 18 items with a combined worth of 155.82 euros for 33.32. Excluding DLC, extension packs and gifted items that's still 8 full games.

EDIT: that's 77.9489154152% off of the whole packadge, not too shabby.

Thinking of getting Dear Esther... It any good?

From what I've heard it's a story you hold W to keep hearing. I'd avoid.

Thinking of getting Dear Esther... It any good?

It's a bit like Limbo in terms of 'your mileage may vary-ness'. It's a short, artsy single player game without much actual gameplay. Like Limbo, I was interested in it but thought the original price was way too high. $2.00 seemed like a good deal, so I bought it.

 

[Solo-Wing]

Ok so far.. Bioshock 2, Painkiller black, Plants Vs Zombies, and Dear Esther. I have now used up half of the money I had for this sale.

 

[PH3NOmenon]

I've gotten

Borderlands GOTY
Orcs must die
Frozen Synapse
Saints Row the Third
Q.U.B.E.
Trine 2


I've barely gone over ?30.

Not really looking to buy anything more, maybe I'll pick up Limbo and Braid as gifts or something, but I doubt there's anything else that could entice me to a purchase.

*famous last words*

Having traded in some games to GameStop, and spent the credit on a $50 Steam credit, I've now bought:

Mount & Blade: Warband $4.99
Serious Sam 3: BFE $9.99
Ys: The Oath of Felghana $5.09

 

[flakmagnet]

Skyrim £17.50
Telltale Games Pack £30
Terraria £1.50
Portal 2 £4

I'm sure there'll be more...

 

[Carnagath]

I've spent exactly 50? so far, and got:
Trine
Trine 2
Knight of the old Republic
Metro 2033
Age of Empires 3 Complete
New Vegas Ultimate
L4D2
Walking Dead

Pretty sweet.

Also, I know that I'm a million years late to the party, but I just wanted to state that L4D2 is SO MUCH FUN!

Ok, I have a question about a game I bought and couldn't find the answer ANYWHERE, so I'm asking it here: is it recommended I complete the original campaign of Frozen Synapse first before I start the Red DLC one?

OT: I missed the Fallout NV sale? Damn.

Yes, do go through the the original campaign first. There's the story reason, which really might not matter all that much if you don't get into the story (I didn't even get into the story that much). But there's the bigger deal that the game adds gameplay mechanics as you go through. So you might feel a bit overwhelmed if you just jump straight into Red.

The game is like chess. You don't learn all the strategies at once, but you build upon a foundation and grow from there.

Edit:
So I see a good many people praising Trine 2. I'm debating whether or not I want to get it. It is very cheap, but I'm beyond worn-out on 2D indie platformers. That's about as ho-hum as it gets in my mind. But maybe this is different enough to warrant a look? What's the verdict if you're looking at the game from that perspective?

 

[Jynthor]

So far I got:
Assassin's Creed Collection - ?30
Prince of Persia Collection - ?11

They were too good to pass up. Planning to buy more but nothing of real interest to me on sale so far.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

I got the Mount and Blade pack for under 10 bucks. Well worth it.

Except everytime I start to become powerful my entire troop dies.

Thanks for the reply. One thing though, I already know my Frozen Synapse stuff, but the problem was that I was halfway through the campaign some time ago, but then my save got wiped and I wasn't really interested in starting over.

EDIT: Ok, I bought Mirror's Edge (thanks voters!), now there is nothing left on my wishlist. Lets see how much more I will manage to spend in the remaining days.

Anyone know if Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is any good? From what I've seen, reviewers have panned the game for being a clone of the first two games. However I haven't played either of the two games and I've always wanted to get a Dead Rising game (restricted to PC only, so either Dead Rising 2 or Dead Rising 2: Off the Record).
