Steam Winter Sale

[W8taminute]

These Steam Sales have not really been stellar at all this year.  I keep getting emails from Steam alerting me that items on my wishlist are on sale but when I check what the discounted price is I'm not impressed.  Fifty cents off of retail is not on sale in my book.

Promptly removed those games off my wishlist. 

Ignore Steam emails.  Register with isthereanydeal.com instead.  Sync it with your Steam wishlist, then add games to it as normal.  Then, on isthereanydeal.com, you can set default notification settings (games must be discounted by x percentage, or drop below x price) and you can override them for individual games too.  You can even specify which online stores you want notifications about.  I can't overstate how useful the website is.

Seems like that is the strategy to use.   :bd:

I have a stack of unplayed games that are more exciting than the games on my wishlist.  So I'm passing on this one.

+1
That sums it up nicely.

+2  for me too as well.

I picked up Final Theory and Xenia's Ark, two quirky-looking space 4x titles.  The former appears to be a quick/"lite" 4x game (if such a thing can exist), but looks like it has decent production values.  The latter (which is still in Early Access) is one I've had my eye on for some time; one of its more unique selling points is being able to conduct battles in both space and on planets (with armies of Mechs). 

I also -- gods help me -- picked up Europa Universalis IV "Extreme Edition" ( ::) )  Given my interest in the time period, combined with my enjoyment of both Crusader Kings 2 and Stellaris, I couldn't resist.  :-[

Interstellar Space Genesis is finally on sale. Finally picked it up and am really having fun with it. Lots more improvements in the works. This one is gonna be a gem I think. Really love the hero system.

Guys...   Gloomhaven or Cold Waters I have 8 hours to decide :)

Already ruled out Gladius, SD2 and Battlestar Deadlock

I grabbed RS Siege cause a buddy said he wanted to get a group together to play.

Besides that either the discount wasn't good enough or I have mostly everything (and like others a backlog the size of the national debt)

I got a ton of cheap one-off titles this Christmas season.  I don't have time to play the titles I've already bought, so I don't know what possessed me to pick up another half-dozen games.  Maybe it's some sort of weird realization for having a job again?   ;D

[Tripoli]

Cold Waters, Skyrim Enhanced and Disco Elysium.  And I don't have time for any of them......

[Dammit Carl!]

Crazy.  So far, I've not gotten zip from Steam this season.  Hunh.  :o

[FlickJax]

Opted for Gloomhaven so along with Darkest Dungeon that concludes my sales spending....

I'd be curious to hear what you think of Gloomhaven. I have the boxed game, but haven't played it yet.

Ditto. I decided to grab Thronebreaker on GOG.com though.

I bought more than I planned to, including Anno 1800, AoE3 Complete for the insane Wars of Liberty mod, Tie Fighter, DLCs for Battle of Empires, the newest Wolfenstein game...only thing I did not pick up is the new Star Wars game. It's still too pricey for me.

[SirAndrewD]

Picked up Jedi Fallen Order for PC.  Loving it so far.

How much did you pay - if you don't mind me asking...
