Steam Holiday Sale 2013 Master Discussion Thread

Thanks for the heads up! Also, you don't have to get $0.10 credit, you could also choose to get $0.00 cashback...

Is it just me, or is the Steam store super slow? I can't access my wishlist/ trade offers and a whole lot of stuff.

You know, I've always been real good in past about these sales; I'd buy one or two things and call it good but for some reason this sale...

Oh well, I'm having fun blowing my vacation pay on steam :D

haha steam is dead

Poor Steam. It's still down (for me at least). Probably for the best though. Keeps my wallet safe for now.

They just had to make L4D2 free, didn't they?

So far I'm doing good with just Trials, F1 2013, Runner 2, and TrackMania 2 Canyon for less than $30 or so. Only other game that I'm keeping my eye on is Rayman Legends, hopefully that game hits $15

So what was on sale before the blackout?

After the podcast i think im going to pick up gunpoint and give it a whirl.

I have Legends and Origins on my Wishlist. I'm starting to think that it won't get a Daily Deal or a Flash Sale, and I don't think Ubisoft's full retail games ever go on Community Choice.

Fingers crossing for a Christmas miracle though.

IT'S ALIVE!

Well I can add gunpoint to my cart but I can't checkout.

@garris: Gunpoint is the same price on the Humble store, comes with a Steam key, and 10% goes to charity.

Please vote for Guacamelee guys.

Nooooooooooo, vote for Dragon's Lair :o

@mb: cool thanks mb I picked it up great game

I HAVE 2 KILLING FLOOR GUEST PASSES !! These passes will allow you to play the game 'killing floor' for free for a limited time period. Message me if you're interested. You don't have to give me anything in return!

How did Spelunky lose :(

What do you mean? It did win.

I bought it because it won...

Dag it! I was checking it all day and then fell asleep. Woke up and it was over.

So I don't know if it's a glitch, but I just bought Don't Starve for $1.19

Edit: Definitely a glitch, price is back up to $5.09

I'm hoping for metro last light to get some kind of deal here

I doubt it will get a better deal than one cent :o

@beachthunder: !!?!

Metro Last Light was briefly on sale for 1 cent at Best Buy...

@beachthunder: damn oh well time to go refresh the flash sales

:D I suppose you'll be happy.

Edit: Guacamelee! was just 100% off XD

@beachthunder: it wouldn't let me add it!!!

hearing what the metro team went through to get the game released, i'm happy to chip a few bucks their way (buying the season pass as i was gifted a game code for the base game).

the casualties are starting to pile up:

• Blackguards
• Shadowrun Returns
• Borderlands Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2
• Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut
• Castlestorm Complete
• Metro Last Light Season Pass
• Lego Lord of the Rings

and now i'm eyeing euro truck simulator oh god help me

(mebbe i should start playing some of these games, lmaflo...)

I reeeaaaaaallllllyyyy want XCOM: Enemy Within to go to 14.99. I missed it earlier but that's the only game that I really want at this point.

Still waiting for a The Swapper deal, did I miss one?

@zojirushi: Coming tomorrow, 66% off. For some reason the posts for days 11 and 12 went up yesterday and haven't been taken down.

@bwheeeler: Sweet, thanks for the info.

Has Zeno Clash II been a featured sale at any point so far? I can't remember if that just hasn't happened, or it did but I thought "hmmm lemme think about it" then I forgot to buy it later.

Also, goddammit, Enslaved and Teleglitch better go on sale before the whole thing is over. I'm not made of money, and $15 is a little steep for Enslaved.

@beachthunder: @professoress: oh great then I missed it :-(

YES! Brothers is a daily deal 70% off!

My wallet is empty.

injustice worth it for peecee?

@bisonhero: I don't think it's ever been lower than $7.49 or 50% off on Steam, which is what it's sitting at right now.

Stanley Parable, Wizardry, and Broken Sword 5 all at the same time? Thanks, Steam. Thanks a million. There goes the last penny in my account. Sigh.

Anyone know why some of the Steam games in the Winter Sales stated to have the discount end on January 3rd are now back to regular price? i.e. Dead Rising 2 was at 66% off and stated until January 3rd and it's now back to regular price. I was waiting until the very last day to see if it would go on a Flash Sale.

Still waiting for rayman legends

Sort of want Skyrim for 7 bucks; dunno if that's coming back though

this is my list, i think im pretty much done

• max payne 3
• trine 2
• trine
• CS:go
• Dragon Age origins
• Far Cry 3
• rogue legacy
• ben there done that
• time gentlemen please
• dishonored
• Bioshock Trilogy
• Rage
• Sword of the stars: the pit.
• dark void zero
• dont starve
• super hexagon
• Payday 2

so far the biggest surprise has been rage. well worth the three pound i spent on it

Loks like steam sales are a huge success at least for Pixeljunk eden.

This was with a 99 Cents sale. Which sounds insane^^

anyway my casualties so far:

• Wizardry 6-8
• long Live the queen
• Final Fantasy 8.

I wished I haven't bought Blackguards 2 weeks ago though since it now was ust 12 Euro. And it actually is a pretty good game.

Has xcom shown up in a daily yet? I want to buy enemy within.

@hidys: It was either daily or flash, I think, about 3~ish days in. Got EW during it; it's pretty great. Might show up later or on the last day.

@capum15: Well if it was only one of them it will show up as the other at some point.

yeah it's alright in a sort of quasi- HOMM way, but the acting is pretty atrocious (at least what i've played so far)

@hidys: And lo, Gaben gave unto thee. XCOM is on Daily.
