Steam Christmas Sale 2011

[niroe]

Watched a couple of vids and decided to go with Hearts of Iron. Looks nice and complicated which will take some time to master

Always wanted to play Assassins Creed, but never got around to it. Bought the first two games, which should be nice additions to my long list of games to play. Didn't want to pay for the full pack though, that would make me feel too overwhelmed.

 

[Sinny]

Nothing I want yet, I've either got it from previous sale or it's still too expensive haha

 

[Sycho]

I'm tempted to nab one of the Assassin's Creed games, see what all the fuss is about. Which is the best?

Part two...three was nearly as good but four i am still playing.

Part one was decent just a bit repetitive.

I wonder if The Sims will go on sale

It's on sale now, £15.

 

[Jae-So]

got AC1 + AC2, good prices, this sale is turning out to be fairly good, just need DmC and Resi now

 

[Evilsod]

Dungeon Defenders is a must buy at that price....wtf is £2.49 anyway?(£1.87 in 4 pack lol) besides you getting heaps of content and enjoyment for hardly any cash.(over 200h played on it already it's that addictive Oo)

The DLC eternal shards doesn't include the original game and is a large expansion kind of really but it's worth getting still as you get Nightmare mode right away instead of in a later patch plus all 4 parts of the expansion for a decent price.

Someone asked about the singleplayer- it's pretty decent but better with mates as you would have to switch between your chars to build stuff for best benefit on some maps.

Except the part where by the time you are prepared to even play Nightmare Mode it will probably be released anyway (when is it actually due for release? If they ever stop this lame cash grab that is). Its a good game but the end-game has been ruined by atrocious balancing and the DLC is nothing more than a cash-in. So yes, you can easily get your £2.50s worth but don't support them further by buying the DLC, they aren't doing anything but milk the game with it now.

SPAZ at £1.74 is the ultimate steal.

Same, wasn't there a relevant comic? Something about buying games five years after they come out since it's many orders of magnitude cheaper, but then being completely out of touch with the community

[PermaBanned]

That's the one. Although i haven't even played Half Live 1 yet

 

[Headwires]

Homefront any good ?

I enjoyed single player. Multiplayer was alrite as well.

Worth it as that price

 

[phil-k]

just bought assassins creed II de-luxe, great price, will wait until the other ones get cheaper rather than buy the package

Urgh, looking at my Steam games list makes me feel a little uneasy. Waaaaay too many games purchased from each sale.

It's not the games purchased which worry me, it's the games purchased which then lie in your account and never get played which I feel guilty about!
