[Yskonyn]

Bought missing CK2 and EU4 DLC. That will be all.

Does anyone else get that depressing feeling when they see all these games on Steam and they see that little tag on it that says IN LIBRARY  :'(

Also, I'm scrolling through looking and notice Football Manager 2016 and Football Manager 2017 - both priced at £34.99

I might buy medieval 2 total war. Ive been craving some of that recently in lieu of overwatch

I was thinking the same thing. And besides, isn't this the game JH, in a different thread, said was mandatory in order to post in these forums?   :-\

Five of the 6 gams in my wishlist are on sale.  HOIIV, Polaris Sector, Star of Shadows, Kerbal, and Grand Ages:Medieval. 

Crap, now I have to make decisions!

OMG, you haven't picked up Kerbal Space Program yet?! 

That thing is a joyous space nerd orgy in your brain.   :dreamer:

I am not even going to look at the steam sale:)  To be honest, I often find prices just as cheap or cheaper through other distributors throughout the entire year.....its a lot different nowadays then a few years ago when the sales seemed great.

Speaking of sales, I wonder when we can expect the HUGE $5 off sale that Shrapnel Games put on for their 20 year old games:)

The last one I picked up was FM2015. 

Maybe I'm wrong, but versions from recent years don't seem to be much different.  They seemed to keep changing the formation setup screen UI from year to year, without much noticeable change in it's effect.  Other than to move shit around and switch graphical representations to some kind of circular value bar instead of a straight one..?  Plus the largest design complaints remain pretty much the same.

Figured I'll just wait a few years.  I don't watch futbol/soccer so the updated rosters aren't such a big deal. 

FM is the best looking sports text sim out there.  In many areas, it has a better UI than others too.  But I get the impression that not much has been changing every year, other than some graphical modifications to make it look like it has.  Not like it's a cheap game either. 

[Nefaro]

I only picked up the two Scourge Of War: Waterloo DLC expansions on the sale. 

Thus far.  Be strong!


Was debating on The Seven Years War but it would be breaking my recent rule, "don't buy it unless you fully expect to start playing it within the next week".  I want to, but there is currently others in my line-up.  It'll still be there when I'm ready!   ;)

Yea a little, like looking at the first pages of the sales and 75%   say in library or seeing a game on sale while not signed in and getting excited by the deal only to sign in and realize you already own it. Thank god for that feature though or I would of probably bought some games twice.
Think I've reached a tipping point and have sale fatigue, it's getting easier to say no, too many sale binges

[CptHowdy]

picked up mad max and assassin's creed IV black flag from kinguin. damage was $12.09.

[Steelgrave]

So if you're waiting for something like Civ VI to received the Steam discount treatment, looks like you need to wait about seven months:

I caved, dammit.  I picked up Oriental Empires and Stars in Shadow -- both Early Access games.  :-[  Granted, I was always going to get the former, and the latter is looking pretty good, but still. 

I need help...

I need help... 

A common theme here ;)

I've only bought Dragons dogma so far. But it doesn't feel like I have the itch to buy anything else atm.
