Steam Thanksgiving Sale is underway

[bob48]

I can't make up my mind between Warlock 2, AoW III and Endless Leg Ends.

What in particular do you like to see in a fantasy 4x title?  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AoW3 to most folks, but it can obviously depend on what exactly you're looking for too.

I just love Warlock, with 600+ hours logged. I would get W2 but the reviews I have read are not too encouraging, and that has put me off.

[BanzaiCat]

Yeah, W2 doesn't look completely worth it to me either. I get plenty of mileage out of W1 just from our MP games.

[bob48]

Agreed.

[Shelldrake]

I enjoy both Warlock and Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes for different reasons (Civ-like gameplay vs. tactical and rpg elements). My hope is that AoW3 will give me a nice blend of what I like in both other games.

[JasonPratt]

I've already started buying.

Oh, and we have some MH games for sale as well (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

Chris--

But wait, what have you bought?  :D

So far...
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which is insanely fun, like being in a spaghetti western.  Pure, cheesy entertainment.
Tomb Raider (the new one)
Planetary Annihilation

Tempted by:
Splinter Cell: Blacklist (-75% today)
Papers Please
Just Cause 2
FTL

JC2 is some seriously unabashed 3PS fun on a multi-terrain target-rich map 400 miles square. Unreserved recommendation if you even distantly like the idea of grapple-gliding around like Batman as you hijack helicopters midair and dual-wield submachine guns.

[BanzaiCat]

FTL is maddening. I've not won it yet. But I try every so often.

[Cyrano]

JC2 is not a game.  It is a toy.  And a really good one.  I could care less about the meta story, but have dozens of hours put into it just exploring.  Easy purchase.

FTL is a game that, had it launched in the 80s, would have prevented me from graduating from college.  Digital heroin in a tiny, immensely aggravating, package.

Best,

Jim

Just Cause 2

I got some insane gut-wrenching laughs out of Just Cause 2, when I picked it up a couple years ago, on the cheap (like five dollars?). 

While I never got on much with the Grand Theft Auto series, this one hit closer to the chaotic mayhem fun for me.  It's usually on sale dirt cheap and at that price it's worth some of that open world chaotic hilarity IMO, even if you don't end up actually following the mercenary missions and background story.

[Yskonyn]

I havent bought anything yet save for two 1 euro DLC packs for ck2! Yay!

Dang.

[Tpek]

I haven't bought anything in the sale at all.
I only purchased new releases shortly before it began.
This sale was IMHO mediocre.
New and popular games were not discounted (enough).

After all the previous years of deep sales, I think most of us die-hards have bought up all the older stuff we were vaguely interested in.  Leaving us only waiting on the new titles anymore.

That was most definitely how I felt. I was wanting some of the more recent titles, but wasn't wanting them enough to pay what was being asked...

...yup, pretty much the same for me.  The only thing I picked up during the "sales" was the map DLC for Civ: Beyond Earth and it wasn't even part of any sales (but I did use a voucher @ GMG)...

p.s. and dimmit, I don't want to waste the Gamersgate Thanksgiving voucher, but I can't even find anything I want to spend $$ on with their so-called sale.  ???

[Gusington]

I did ok...one pseudo classic for 2.99 (Fallout Tactics) and one new game for 25% off (Ryse: Son of Rome).
