What is with all the 50% offs this year? Poor show.

You might be better off looking for it retail as it's a stewmworks game

Plus I don't think F1 was in the summer sale daily deals, so might not be in this one either.

Your steam must be different...
As out of the 18 games on sale right now ,about 13 of them have over 50% off

Problem is the ones that are reduced are reduced from a price that is already quite high. I have a good few games on my wishlist that should be much cheaper than they are.

Tempted by the dawn of war franchise pack though tbh.

ANN0 2070 any good?

Very good.

Nothing for me today - would like carrier command, but 50% off is a little steep. Anno is pretty greedy at 60% to. Most games in this sale have been far cheaper elsewhere, a shame tbh

Is the Anno 2070 DLC worth getting or should I just go for the normal game?

I wouldn't say the DLC is essential and a lot of it can be picked up when the world events come around (assuming they are still doing this). The DLC is on offer in most sales anyway, so you can always pick it up at a later date.

Think I have voted in all of the community votes so far (not that there has been much good in there). Should have my badge soon

I already have my badge - it does nothing.

So, the three titles you can vote on at the moment are all for games that have already been in the daily deals... for the same level of discount. What the hell, Valve?

Of course it doesn't do anything

You can't have the full badge already, have there been 15 votes already? Am I right in thinking they are on 12 hour or so cycles? The votes in the summer were more frequent.

Only need 4/6 for the badge

But if like the previous sales 6/6 for the full badge.

vote for hitman at 50% you know it makes sense

Voted

CaptainRAVE · 26 Dec 2012 at 10:07

Vote Tropico, would be a great deal at 80% off.

I was hoping it would get some decorations

Still not bought anything

CaptainRAVE · 30 Dec 2012 at 17:50

Wonder if I will make my first purchase today.

I doubt it

Seems you were right

CaptainRAVE · 31 Dec 2012 at 11:31

Really want to buy something, but just can't find anything I want at a low enough price!

The problem is he sale being too long. It feels that it is a stream of repeats just now.

I don't think there will be any surprises during the final days of the sale this week.

Not expecting any surprises, there never are at the end of the Steam sales. Disappointed with this one, but hopefully the next will be better

CaptainRAVE · 2 Jan 2013 at 10:06

Max Payne 3 worth it at that price?

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jan 2013 at 18:15

Rage and Sleeping Dogs tempting me!

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jan 2013 at 12:38

Do we get more deals today?

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jan 2013 at 15:36

Decided to finally pickup Rage. Sleeping Dogs can wait until it is cheaper.

Rage is good fun, but not without problems. The texture popin can be really off putting, just seen this "tweak" that apparently fixes it.

I'm a good way into the game, so might reinstall and give this a go to see if it works

Thanks for the link
