Steam Christmas Sale

[Toonces]

Still nuttin' here.

I might grab some DLC's to flesh out some of my collections, EUIV, Scourge of War: Waterloo, CMANO, etc., but I"m not feeling any urges to buy anything new.  I'm pretty game-saturated right now.

Well that was fast. Steam just refunded me my 3.99. But it's not available yet - it says within 7 days, but does it really take that long?

Depends. Your original transaction may not be fully processed yet.

I am noticing a strange phenomenon...

The Holiday Sale period is one where I actually buy fewer games. First, I pretty much have already bought anything I want and second, its a time when there are few new releases and the games that do come out really aren't advertised very well. Without that, "new...shiny" appeal to drag me into a purchase, I tend to be more fiscally behaved.

When you have 1050+ games on Steam, it's little wonder there's not much left for you to purchase. :P

The jig is up for you tpek. I know you like to fly under the purchases everything radar, but we all know you're a recidivist buyer too. Nearly every game I am interested in, you already own! Those who live in glass steam houses shouldn't through stones.

Hey, I only got 982 games on Steam!

Narrowing it down to Expeditions: Viking, AssCreed Chronicles: Russia, and the Steel Division bundle, but have not pulled the trigger yet.

The above is in addition to World in Conflict that I bought on GOG (9.99) and Deadlight through Fanatical (1 dollah).

Was checking out some DLC on sale and still couldn't pull the trigger. 

Some of them still seem too pricey for what you get.  Bastids be charging $8 or $12 for a DLC even on sale. 

All those warnings from 10 to 15 years ago, about milking micro-transactions and DLC, were right.

[Steelgrave]

Tom Clancy's The Division, Shadow Tactics:Blades of the Shogun and two or three DLC's for Order of Battle: WWII that I hadn't picked up earlier.

Rise of Flight is balls difficult (especially in an early plane like the Eindecker), and trying to get a single-player campaign going is almost as difficult.

I realize that could only be helpful in a negative way, but...  :-\ RoF about counts as the elite course in WW1 flight. Arguably tougher than reality due to necessary feedback limitations (though without the risk of injury or death, so less tough in that way I guess. ;) )

Horsecrap!

Quite easy to jump into, fly around, and do well compared to sims featuring more modern aircraft.  There's hardly anything you need to worry about other than pointing your shooty things towards the enemy, not stalling, and not going so fast that bits fall off.  No prop pitch, no fuel mixture, superchargers, trim, radar, or any of that stuff to worry about.  Also, the game supports force feedback joysticks so you can get the sensory inputs letting you know when you're going to slow and in danger of stalling or too fast and in danger of ripping a wing off.

ASSCREED

Eh..dropped dimes for the Feelixestowee and Illushian Moments as I'm a sucker for RoF and horrible at spelling.

Will buy IL2 Dover Blitz soon as BoB is my weak point.

[Gusington]

Sigh...RoF, you mysterious canvas-wrapped minx!

ASSCREED

[BanzaiCat]

Meh.

Dyscourse is kind of ghey.
Dead Rising 2 is okay but frustrating.
Kingpin is awesome - just gotta remember the controls are not intuitive.
GotG is okay...not great, not bad.
Batman (Telltale) is, well, haven't played it yet.

Picked up a trio of indie games....

Dead Cells - Pretty good Metroidvania game so far.

Chronicon - seems like an OK Diablo clone that is more top down and very crude graphics.

Gorogoa - Puzzler...pretty unique one too so far, interesting concept.

[Martok]

Unless you include my purchase/refund of Medieval 2, I haven't picked up anything yet. 

At this point, the only thing I'm even halfway-seriously considering getting is Dawn of Andromeda. 

[Gusington]

Why did you return Medieval 2?
