Steam 2014 Winter Sale

[Gusington]

Endless Legend didn't grab me the way AoWIII does. Maybe I should try again? I loved the UI but the lore and units in AoWIII are much better IMHO.

[steve58]

This sale was fairly easy on my wallet.   Just ended up getting Hegemony Rome (and 1 DLC) and Khet 2.0.

[sandman2575]

Jeez, I kind of went a little insane by my usually frugal standards with these sales...

Arma III
Divinity Original Sin
Wasteland 2
Endless Legend
Gal Civ III
Gravteam Tactics Op Star (for $4, why not have it on Steam too)
lots of Company of Heroes 2 DLC  --  kinda scratching my head over that, as I'm pretty ambivalent about this game.

considering that I recently bought Elite Dangerous too, my tab for the holidays was a lot steeper than usual...

[bob48]

AoW III was my only purchase.

[WallysWorld]

Here's my damage from Steam:

Ultimate General: Gettysburg
Train Simulator 2015 - Norfolk Southern Heritage Twin Pack, Great Northern F7 'Empire Builder' and Union Pacific Heritage SD70Aces DLC's

I also bought the following from other sites:
Rise of Flight: five airplanes
Hegemony Rome: Advanced Tactics
Farming Simulator 2013 Official Expansion 2

Not too bad as other than UGG, all are just addons or DLC's.

[Cyrano]

I knew there would come a reckoning:

Battle Fleet 2
Endless Legend
Endless Space
Hegemony: Rome, The Rise of Caesar
The Legend of Korra...don't judge me...
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Planetary Annihilation
Project Zomboid
R.U.S.E. (All DLC)
Saints Row IV
Sentinels of the Multiverse (Nefaro made me do it)
Seven Days to Die
Talisman Digital with all the DLC...there's a LOT of stuff in there...geez...
Wargame: Red Dragon
Xenonauts

It's the HD space that's freaking me out as much as anything.  I once thought a TB would be enough for entire institutions, much less my desktop.

And the day the Steam front page flips back to regular mode is sadder than the day the tree comes down after Epiphany...

Best,

Goddammit, I just blew another $28 on both Wasteland 2 and frikkin' Oblivion.

[Gusington]

^Dude you said you would hold off! Even I didn't get Wasteland 2.

[BanzaiCat]

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys'R'Us Kid, for fcuk's sake.

[Jack Nastyface]

Took the plunge and got EU IV and Task Force 1942.  Played some TF 1942 last night.  It cost less than a beer, and will probably last just a bit longer.  Not sure about EU IV.  I bought Distant World sometime ago, and am mostly disappointed with it.  I am hoping that EU may provide a different gaming experience.

You tell him Gus!

So sad to see a comrade fall! 

[Gusington]

I am without words. But who needs words with all this great fantasy gaming lying about?

[BanzaiCat]

I am very much like JD and his quote in your siggy, Gus.

Now watch as W2 sits there unplayed for goodness knows how many months. BUT IT'S MINE! MUWAHAHAHAHA!  >:D


I also went and finally backed up tons of data from my ancient PC to an external HD and freed up about 150GB of space. My HD is only 500GB and I've been cruising along with usually 20-40GB of free space, so hopefully this will improve performance a bit.

[Nefaro]

Endless Legend is in Angry Joe's top 10 games - as was Shadow of Mordor - both of which you own - play them instead.

He has AOW3 and plenty others.  He'll survive.  ;)

[Apocalypse 31]

In order:

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeros
Panzer Corps Grand Campaign 39
Panzer Corps Grand Campaign 40
Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star
Operation Hooper DLC
Shield of the Prophet DLC
Flight Simulator X

Total Cost: ~$31

Considered Getting:
FarCry4 - Reviews claimed it was to much like FC3; I hate the grinding, and uPlay.
Rome Total War II - Post New Years is going to be busy; not ready to invest the time in this beast
DCS UH1 - This was the toughest deal to pass up; not ready to invest the time to train to play a video game.


Can you only imagine how well Steam would do with prices this low all year round?
