Steam Winter Sale is almost over! What have you all been buying?

So the sale is almost at it's end (it end's on the 5th), and I know I have bought at least 15 games or sofor about 30$, and they are all fantastic. What has everyone been buying?

Just three for me this year -- Hearthfire and Dawnguard for Skyrim, and FTL: Faster Than Light.

I've tried not to buy much at all this year. I still have games from the last two xmas sales that I haven't played yet.

All I got is the Witcher 2. There were a couple others I wanted such as Far Cry 3, CS:GO, Rage, but I never got around to getting them. I have too many other games to play.

Not much for me this shot. I bought Borderlands 2 ($30) only because my friend bought it. And i bought all but 1 of the dlc's for Tropico 4 (80% off).

I bought Anno 2070 + DLC (great game!), War for Cybertron, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, 3d Mark Vantage, and DLC for Total War Shogun 2. I have the physical version of Company of Heroes and Crysis but bought them again since they were so cheap.

Only thing I bought from Steam was The Walking Dead, everything else I got from Amazon.

Thought it was crap to be honest.

This year's sale sucked. Everybody knows it

The witcher 2, Mass effect 2, Alan Wake, Heartfire ( these 2 were gifted <3).

Now i want 75% on Batman franchise and Lego. Maybe i grab chilvary or Natural selection too.

Not from steam but i picked up the Secert World from Amazon

I was going to buy Borderlands 2 when it was on sale, but glad I waited...got it $9 cheaper on GMG. Also got better deals on Amazon, ended up with nothing from Steam, very dissapointed in this years sale from them.

Thought it was crap to be honest.

• Syndicate
• Star Wars KOTOR II
• L.A. Noire
• FEAR 3
• Alan Wake's American Nightmare
• Payday The Heist
• Fallout New Vegas (extra copy retail)
• The Darkness II
• Spec Ops: The Line
• Bioshock (steam version, extra copy)
• Bioshock 2 (steam version, extra copy)
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link
• Empire Total War Collection
• Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City
• Dota 2 (was gifted) :)

I bought more from Amazon and other various services than I did from the Steam sale this year. The competition simply had better much deals.

FTL (Faster Than Light) : $5

Dark Souls : $15

Bioshock 1 & 2: $5

Steam:

• Mark of the Ninja (gifted from Masterx1220)

Amazon:

• Scribblenauts Unlimited, 2 copies for my cousins ($7.49 each)
• Spec Ops: The Line ($2.49 with $5 discount)

Came with my video card from Newegg:

• Hitman: Absolution
• Far Cry 3

Games I kinda wanted to get but didn't:

• Max Payne 3 (from Amazon, $10 after discount)
• M&B Collection (Steam, $8.75?)
• Sleeping Dogs (GMG, about $11 with coupon)
• Batman: AC GOTY ($5 from some place, can't remember where)

My HDD has 40GB left, so there was no point of getting new games until I get a new one. I'll take the risk that the ones I wanted will be even cheaper during the summer sales. Of course, sales aren't over yet... I might still cave.

Then there's a few like Borderlands 2 and Skyrim that I do want, but didn't go down low enough for me to consider buying.

Torchlight 2, Dishonored, and Darksiders 2+DLC (technically that last was off Amazon)

Steam : Testament of Sherlock Holmes , Doom 3, Might and Magic Heroes 6

Amazon : Dark Souls

Gamersgate : Fallen Enchantress (8 bucks !!!) , Mortal Kombat Arcade Pack

Gamefly : Xcom

GMG : King's Bounty, Warriors of the North

Steam: Legend of Fae for $2.50 as a gift.

Gamersgate: Gray Matter w/ blue coins and The Last Remnant for $4.

Amazon: Darksiders 2 bundle for $13ish.

I'm working on clearing out my backlog so I tried not to go completely overboard on games.

I didn't buy much from steam like other people.

Anyways, here is the complete list of what I picked up:

Hitman Absolution for $20 from Amazon

Natural Selection 2 for $10 from Steam

Anno 2070 for $20 from Steam

Borderlands 2 Season Pass for 10.50 from Green Man Gaming

Binary Domain for ~$4 from GMG

BF3: Aftermath for $10 from GMG

I think thats everything

This is what I've bought from Steam. I also got other games from other DD sites.

• Alan Wake's American Nightmare
• The Binding of Isaac: The Wrath of the Lamb

• Crysis Warhead
• Darksiders Franchise Pack

I have only bought games from daily deals. I missed out on the Dear Esther and Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams daily deals. I'd also like to see a daily deal for Revenger of the Titans.

Just Endless Space, which is definitely underrated, from Steam.

I'd definitely call Steam a victim of it's own success. People on Steam (myself included) have been spoiled for sales, and I guess we know when to hold out.

I.e- If it's not 75% off yet, it can wait.

Hitman Collection, Far Cry 3, Half-Life Collection, Sherlock Holmes Collection, Legend of Grimrock, and Ys Origin.

It strays far away from Hitman: Blood Money. Go in, expecting Hitman combined with Splinter Cell: Conviction. You still get to play how you want, whether it be full-stealth, stealth-light shooting, or guns blazing. H:A is limited to its level designed, so to as giving the player less imaginative choices.

Despite its flaws, it's still a fun game. The gunplay is satisfying. I love how the guns feel, the impact they make on enemies, and their reactions and animations are awesome. Good performance as long as you know your computer's limit but max settings are achieveable on a great gaming PC. The graphics look nice.

I would recommend it. It's $20 on Amazon.com. :D That's a steal.

Enough games to keep me busy for a long.. long... long time.

Did i mention long? No didn't think so...

Man, I absolutely LOOOVE these steam game sales :D

Let's see... I picked up... wow actually I picked up quite a few strange titles :P

World of Goo

Machinarium

LIMBO

The Binding of Isaac

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

Half Minute Hero

It's going to be fun creating Let's Play videos on these :D

Got Mark of the Ninja, Hitman Absolution, and Ghostbusters video game (amazon)

I am hoping Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition goes on another flash or daily sale either today or tomorrow. I want to get that for my sister's boyfriend. He bought me Hitman Absolution, so I want to get him something good too. To go along with Batman AA I got him earlier.

Amazon:

• Dark Souls
• LotR: War in the North
• Spec Ops / Bioshock 1 and 2 bundle
• Mass Effect Trilogy (Had 2 and 3 on PS3 but fully converting over )

Steam:

• Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition (One of my favorite games this gen)
• The Walking Dead

GOG:

• Neverwinter Nights Platinum Edition
• RCT Deluxe (My whole childhood goes into this game!)

Not much else I'm looking to buy now. Should be more then good for a long time with this haul and my backlog!

Sweet! A second, identical thread right above the existing one! :D

So far I've purchased Saints Row: The Third, which I've already forgotten about, Hitman Absolution and Far Cry 3.

I am absolutely hooked to Far Cry 3.

Only thing I bought was the Tomb Raider collection when it was 75% off. £10 for all the games is a steal

EDIT: I did get Civ5 Gods and Kings and Dawnguard (Skyrim DLC) but I think i got those during the last sale, I cant remember lol

But im really chuffed with the Tomb Raider collection, I only tried Tomb Raider 1, 2 and Chronicles so far, but they all work great :)

Only thing I purchased from Steam proper was Chivalry. Picked up Dishonored and Xcom from GMG and Dark Souls and the Desert to Sea bundle from Amazon. I would have bought more, if not for the fact that i'm between jobs atm so I really have to limit my frivolous purchases and most of the above came from Holiday money.
