It's the first time for me that there is nothing I want to buy in the Steam sale, at least nothing that I don't already own.

I.... DIDN'T KNOW THAT! Thanks!prpshrt said:
This is the first time I'm actually gonna dabble in the market and trading cards/badges, just for a chance at free games
Edit: Anyone confused by the FAQ? I got a message saying I needed level 5 to be credited for trading cards, but then the FAQ says level8?
If only I wasn't broke......

Hohohoho, ROUND 2! Steam VS Wallet, Fight! (In excited rapid firing commentator voice)
Wallet starts of strong! He sees all the daily deals, he looks through each one carefully, Steam stares into the essence of his soul with each glance, he stops at Amnesia, can Steam pull off a quick knock out? NO! Wallet comes out unscathed.
Now Wallet moves on to that flash sales, yup the flash sales, Steam is pulling out the big guns now, can he force Wallet to succumb? Can he? Can he? Might Spore actually do it? NOOOO Wallet resists the force by the inch of his teeth.
Last but definitely not least! Wallet moves on to the Community Votes, Steam's pulling out all the stops now, surely pulling 90% off on whatever shit he has will conquer Wallet, the stress is immense, Wallet sweats and gasps, wait for it... wait for it... OH MY GOD IT'S A MIRACLE, Wallet destroys Steam this round, ohhhh the children are in the streets!!

if you do that, must haves in my opinion:AliasBot said:
-pretty much anything made by valve, Portal, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Counter Strike, hard to find better games on each of their categories
-FTL, one of the best games ever made, and hopefully you can catch it for 3.33-2.5 bucks when it goes daily or flash
-Torchlight 2, excellent for coop-ing
-Antichamber, fantastic puzzle game, is going to blow your mind, the standard discount right now is 70% (only 6 dollars!), whichis already pretty good, but wait and see if it goes on a daily deal
-Rogue Legacy, it should go for 5-3.74 bucks soon, fantastic metroidvania roguelike
-XCOM: Enemy Unknown you might still be able to catch the base game for only 7.5, worth every penny
-Fallout 3 GOTY edition, hundreds upon hundreds of entertainment hours for just 5 dollars, several times better than skyrim in my opinion (not thats saying much skyrim is boring imo)
-Civ 5, you might find the base game at around 6 bucks during a daily, its better with the DLC, but the base game can still provide you with dozens of hours ot strategic entertainment
-Just Cause 2, excellent open world game, has a multiplayer mod, regularly goes on sale for 3 dollars, is a complete steal
-Mark of the ninja, i bet you can find it for 3.74 bucks or less during a daily/flash, amazing stealth game
-Legend of Grimrock, old school and yet refreshing dungeon crawler, you can probably find it for just 3 bucks during a flash deal, or 5 bucks right now if you dont want to wait, it has steam workshop with hundreds of mods, high replay value
-Gmod, this one works best if you have tons of source games, is basically a toybox, download addons on the workshop until your PC explodes, is incredibly fun, it regularly goes for 2.5 during dailies and flash sales
-bit trip presents... Runner 2... future regend of rhythm alien, you can get it right now for 3 bucks, could potentially go even cheaper, simple yet addictive rhythm/platforming game
-check all the good vintage games, blasts from the past such as FEAR, X-COM: UFO Defense (the original X-COM game), Commandos 2, etc, there are a bunch of really great old games that go for real real cheap
Day 2, Steam stopped me by on the internet street today and mugged me for £3.75, they then stuffed Alien Breed trilogy into my pockets and legged it.
I better bring a taser with me next time guys.

Ugh... do I break my "NO PRE-ORDERS!" rule to get 25% off on Dead Rising 3, a game which I'm pretty much guaranteed to buy at some point anyway regardless of reviews because of how much I loved the first two (and Off The Record)?
Or do I wait for the Halloween sale on horror titles, at which point the game will already have been out a month or so and may end up actually cheaper (assuming it's part of the sale)?
Bah! I think the smart thing to do would probably be to wait. It's not like I won't be buying a bajillion other games for pennies to play in the meantime.

Ughh. Two more Early Access games on the main sale. I can see where this is going and I dont like it.
Day 2 of the sale and I'm already about $50 or so down and about 10 games up...including, surprisingly, two early access ones. However they, unlike the majority of the tripe on early access, are being developed by proper developers in franchises I already know so no risk.
I'm also on the Pink team, tho Heaven only knows what that's about!

Just went halves on a Divinity:OS Collector Edition thing with my brother. That's probably going to be me for the whole sale. I have a huge backlog anyway, and it's only going to get larger when DA:I and The Witcher 3 come out later this year.
So yeah, that's it for me.

theres 7 other non-early access games dude, not to mention almost the entirely of the steam catalog has some sort of discount, and flash sales also often donde include early access games, you can even vota for games you want to be on sale, which obviously wont include early access since you dont like emRagnar47183 said:

between today and yesterday steam has inappropriately touched my wallet constantly, it did however gave me 2 copies of xcom enemy within, 2 copies of dont starve and 1 copy of the witcher for the trouble
still i think i should call the police
Ehhh I have a huge backlog and games I want to replay already so....Is that E.Y.E for $1? fuck it.
Youre right but they arent finished. The early access program is supposed to be designed for people to support devs before the game is out.NuclearKangaroo said:
Putting these games on sale on the front page of steam attract the general populace that will negatively impact the game. There is a reason there is a separate tab for early access and they should stay there.
Not to mention the problems you get with the DayZ sale where the sale made the price cheaper than what the first adopters paid for it. Something the devs said wouldn't happen.
There are completed games that deserve the spotlight of these sales a lot more and would benefit a lot more.
