I need to stop reading this thread...I keep seeing games other Grogs have gotten that I want to add to my wishlist  :crazy2:  (just added Ceres)

Steve,

You should get Ceres.  It has a fairly steep learning curve, but after a couple of hours I think I'm getting the hang of it.  It reminds me a bit of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Lots of fun!

^what were they thinking when they designed the ships in Ceres? They are butt ugly! Look more like they were made out of scrap and junk than anything else.

Ceres?? Didn't even know this game existed. Like steve 58, I've gotta stop reading this thread!

From poking around on Steam and YouTube, have to agree with Jarhead -- the ship art definitely leaves something to be desired.

Still, I'm intrigued.  Though reports of hard-to-read UI and overall bugginess leave me wary...

Nothing whatsoever for me! Yay I feel strong! :D

I am still busy with what I got;
Combat Mission, Elite, Falcon and DCS on PC.
Destiny, Just Cause 3 and FFXIV on PS4.
Monster Hunter on 3DS.

Advanced Squad Leader on the table.

Besides one small purchase, nothing else for me...much different than year's past.  I am just finding most games are not on sell enough that is much different then I can get throughout the year during other sales or other stores and really nothing burning to buy.

Damage so far:

Shadow of Mordor
Wolfenstein: Old Blood + New Order
Fallout 3 + Fallout New Vegas

Standout so far has been Shadow of Mordor - I know this game got lots of praise heaped on it, but I was never all that keen to try it. But now I understand why folks were so high on this game. It really is fantastic.

I love the atmosphere and visual style of Wolfenstein Old Blood -- it really is a treat, everything is pitch-perfect and designed with wonderful imagination in a delightfully comic-book but also pretty sinister style. But I'm finding I really *don't* love the 'on-rails' play style. Guess I haven't played a FPS-like game like this is a while -- I'm used to much more freedom to explore.

Still Contemplating / on the fence:

Nobunaga's Ambition
Seven Years War
Hegemony III
Darkest Dungeon
Legends of Eisenwald
Starpoint Gemini 2
Ceres

...I'm sure a couple of those will wind up in the 'purchased' column before the sale is done...

Predestination - I'll probably buy it when it is finished.  Looks interesting but I never buy anything before a final build.

Pillars of Eternity - I've had it and it has a design flaw in my opinion.  There are no noteworthy items (weapon, armor, etc.....).  After about two weeks of game play, I really started to miss this.  I never got back into the game.

I've bought - nothing on the steam sale.  I have so many games I want to play & have been spending so much time on Fallout 4 - I cannot get motivated to buy something else.

Because I have the coolest wife I was able to add FM16 to my list.  Unfortunately, all games except WiTP:AE are taking a backseat to XCOM with The Long War mod installed.  Truly a blast!

Considering fm16 as well, just haven't seen a good price yet...

My wife was at Walmart yesterday and grabbed me $40 worth of Steam Gift Cards so the price suddenly seemed right. :)
