What do you hope to see on sale from Steam this holiday season?

Personally I'm hoping they'll have Portal 2, Witcher 2, Red Orchestra 2, Dead Island, and Dragon Age Ultimate Edition anywhere from 50-75% off.

Hate being a poor student, it always gets in the way of quality gaming. :cry:

But I hope to see Shogun 2 on sale. Been dying to play it.

Sins of a Solar Empire and Dungeon Defenders. I know Sins is already cheap, but I'm really cheap after having just spent 60 bucks on Skyrim and 70 bucks on collectors edition of Skyward Sword.

Everything! :P

Although I'd really want to see these on sale...

1) Red Orchestra 2
2) Serious Sam 3
3) Rage
4) LA Noire

Rage and Dead Island are at the top of my list. I would love Anno 2070 to be on sale, but I doubt it will be.

Portal 2 for $15

I didn't have the money when they did that last sale.

Also maybe Skyrim if it was 50% off or something. I doubt it, and I'm not even sure I would buy it. I'd rather wait until the DLC is out and I can get it all in one package.

If you don't buy Skyrim when it goes to 50% off, you're out of your mind. Obviously that won't happen, though.

I just hate DLC pricing. It's almost never worth the price for me. Basically, I go by the model that I should get an hour of gameplay per dollar spent. A $15 DLC pack needs to add 15 hours of gameplay. I do include replay value in that, but from experience most singleplayer DLC doesn't have much replay value. Large DLC like Shivering Isles is okay. I definitely got 30 hours for my $30, but the smaller DLC tend to be weak.

I'm 75 hours into Skyrim, it's definitely more than paid for itself.

Oh there's nothing wrong with Skyrim the base game. I just won't buy DLC separately that I don't feel is a good value. Sure, you could say you get 200 hours out of $60 Skyrim that 7 for $15 DLC is balanced out, but I still will not support DLC that isn't priced right for the gameplay. I do see value in most DLC, just not nearly what the publisher/developer charges for it.

Now, Skyrim could end up being a little different if the DLC is on Steam. There might be a chance that it goes on sale. Most DLC however doesn't go on sale, so I never ever buy it unless it's included in a GOTY or Ultimate edition. Since GOTY and Ultimate editions are more common these days (almost predictable), I generally just plan to get the compilation whenever it comes out.

I want to see Skyrim, Deus Ex, The Witcher 2 and Dead Island. I may get L.A. Noire if it goes cheap enough, but I haven't been impressed with RockStar this gen. I struggle to keep interest up long enough to finish their games.

AFAIK, there is no announcement for DLC yet, is there?

They haven't announced what the DLC will be, but they have definitely said there will be DLC. See: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114177-Skyrim-DLC-Coming-to-360-First
