Will there be a Steam Xmas sale?

CaptainRAVE · 23 Dec 2016 at 20:39

Purchased stardew valley and walking dead s2. That'll do. Everything else needs to be cheaper.

Andr3w · 23 Dec 2016 at 20:39

Bought project cars £17 and doom £13

I know literally nothing about project cars but I've heard it's quite good??

Graphically and sound wise yes. I've been meaning to reinstall it and get the career mode done.

Arma 3 Apex for £12.49, sold.

The publishers seem more greedy these days. Plus most of us already have purchased the best deals.

I got Spec Ops:The Line for £3.99.

I think it's more the latter and the fact there are few games of the same calibre as Skyrim, Half-life etc on Steam.

My best buy if 2016 was Rimworld and it wasn't even originally on Steam at all!

I want Owlboy but dont wanna pay more than £15 really

Edit : oops i thought it was £18.

£15 it is

Just the latest Deux Ex thought the price was pretty good. Nothing else grabs me atm.

I reckon Steam sales were better back then. And are not too good anymore.

Is steam now the cheapest place to buy Watch Dogs 2? Will get it from elsewhere if it's less.

Twirlywoos · 24 Dec 2016 at 09:54

Facerig is half price at £5.50

DONOHUE07 · 24 Dec 2016 at 10:44

Origins sale is better this year, BF1 and Titanfall 2 for £24.99 each, though I'm tempted to get Stardew Valley and possibly Doom

I wouldn't hesitate with DOOM.

Just get it - it's a thriller!

Don't be tempted.. DO IT!

kration · 24 Dec 2016 at 11:36

Bought Watch Dogs complete, Cities Skylines and Mad Max.

Is Project Cars worth getting for VR?

I'm tempted with BF1 as well, also wondering about SW battlefront for £8.33, though with both am I going to be needing some DLC now/soon for playing online?

Definitely get Doom though!

Yep I think its the latter as well, I know people say it every time but I genuinely don't think steam sales are any worse than when they launched, maybe with a few exception due to some titles starting at a higher price these days. I think its two things.

Firstly, most of us already own a lot of the bargains from a previous sale. Secondly, there are now absolutely loads of key sites offering bargains and sales all the time, this wasn't really the case when steam sales first started.

Yes, but also get a steering wheel and shifter

G29 is solid.

Argh, I seem to be compelled to buy a crap load of cheap indie games every sale.

Mostly Metroidvanias, which before I played Cave Story I didn't even know I liked...!
