The Steam Winter Sale is live! What is everyone looking to pick up at discounted rates? I'm personally being tempted by Yakuza: Like a Dragon, even though the discount isn't super steep (on sale for $45). Will definitely be picking up a bunch of cheaper games too.

Was looking for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Spelunky 2. The former isn't discounted at all and Spelunky is only 10% off, so I'll hold off.

Maybe Phasmophobia to see what all the hype is about, other than that nothing really, already have Spelunky 2 on PS4.

@frymillstrum: Phasmophobia is good, but really shines in a group so trick your friends into buying it.

Nearly everything on my wishlist was on sale, christ.

Trying out Noita and Cold Waters.

Nothing spectacular and, reminder, a game you want might be cheaper on Epic with the $10 coupon.

I want to double dip on Lightning Returns...

Fuser worth it for $40? I'm very tempted.

@judoboy: It might still be on sale for the same price on the Epic Game Store and you get a $10 coupon for free over there.

@finaldasa: Wow, Epic is getting aggressive with this competition.

@judoboy: That $10 coupon is reusable too.

Dang, I really like having everything in one place (Steam), but I guess I'll have to cross check my wishlist with Epic and see if anything is cheaper there.

Most likely gonna pick up Onee Chanbara Origin.

@finaldasa: yeah, I bought Destroy All Humans today with the coupon and they gave me another one ^^

you can get cyberpunk for 20 bux with the coupon and 30 normally lol.

Finally got astroneer, could use something chill to finish out the year on

I bought this new game called Hades. Not sure if anyone has heard of it.

I bought Prodeus (not on sale), Hellspoint, and Project Warlock.

When I force myself to spend the money, I am thinking of Hades, and especially Wasteland 3. Wasteland 3 has my interest because I haven't played computer based-Rpg's to really have a feel for them. But this seems like a game that would really appeal to me, something different than fantasy based.

Finally bought Vermintide 2! Itching for a L4D-like and recently been playing TW Warhammer 2 so hoping now some of my new Warhammer lore knowledge will pay dividends.

Haven't bought anything yet, but Tell Me Why and Blacksad are high up there. Maybe Jedi Order too, but I think I have enough I want to play in my backlog I can wait longer on that one.

@sparky_buzzsaw: I just played Fallen Order and can definitely recommend it at the current price. Also definitely going to pick up Tell Me Why.

@bybeach: Did you start Prodeus yet? Is it awesome? Definitely going to pick this up when I make my other purchases.

@bybeach: I really liked what I played of Wasteland 3, it reminds me of Fallout + XCOM, but I"m also not super familiar with those types of games so that could be a naive take.

I might finally try house flipper.

baldur's gate 2 and gorgoa, y'all.

I'm bargain diving, looking at a selection of games like

• Styx: Master of shadows (1,99€)
• Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter (1,99€)
• Thief (2,99€)
• Murdered: Soul Suspect (1,99€)
• Marc Ecko's Getting Up (1,99€)
• Cat Quest (1,29€)
• Reprisal Universe (1,04€)
• Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (2,49€)
• Devil Daggers (1,99€)
• Death's Hangover (0,44€)
• Dungeon Souls (2,15€)
• Heat Signature (2,59€)
• Cradle (2,59€)
• Omnibus (0,79€)
• The Last Door Season 2 (2,49€)
• Linelight (2,04€)
• Chuchel (2,49€)

Bought last year's F1 2019 for €10 to sate my open-wheel curiosity after not having played Formula One games since the Geoff Crammond Grand Prix 3 days. Thought also about nabbing 'art of rally', but it would be 10 euros cheaper on EGS with their adjective-of-choice coupon cascade.

Does that version have the Senna and Prost stuff? I was really disappointed with that DLC.

I just started looking, and I'm not sure if this is a me problem or a Steam problem. I'm having a hard time finding games I missed out on, while I keep seeing the same big-ish games I keep passing on, like Master Chief Collection, Sea of Thieves, and Rockstar's games.

Right now I'm at the "Well, I could buy Yakuza 0 again, since it's only $5" phase of the Steam sale.

@clagnaught: Hit the ignore button beneath a game you aren’t interested in and Steam will stop showing it to you. Also go through the Steam suggestion queue every once in a while and ignore or wishlist what comes up. Steam gets better and better at suggesting new games the more data you give it.

@shindig: The base version doesn't have that (or any other) DLC. Decided not to buy that Legends Edition since it seemed to be not worth it. The actual game itself, on the other hand, seems great after brief testing.

Double dipped on Lightning Returns 💪 and picked up Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy

@clagnaught: the discovery queue is the main avenue of finding new games for me. And i guess i have quite a beefy wishlist & game history on Steam as well that helps them to find stuff i like.

I went through 3 queues in the last few days and uncovered like 15 games to keep my eye on. I hadn't heard of 6 games before at all. (Medieval Dynasty, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Creeper World 4, Ultrakill, World of Horror, Sakuna: Of Rice & Ruin)

Ended up purchasing Dark Quest 1+ 2, plus an Konami Arcade Collection and Disney's Afternoon Collection. Also grabbed Star Wars Squadrons and Death Stranding on EGS. Probably enough for this year.

I got a buncha cool shmups, Jamestown+, Blue Revolver, Super XYX, Alltynex trilogy, Danmaku Unlimited 3 (double dipped have it on switch), Hellsinker, Steel Vampire...

... and EVERYONE HERE who can enjoy a little shmuppy action should buy ZeroRanger, go buy it! It's on sale! hell of a game!

I've got my eye on Bug Fables. Anybody play it enough to say if it lives up to the "Paper Mario you actually wanted" billing it got from the game punditsphere?

Current acquisitions are Space Court, Yuppie Psycho, Library of Ruina, Golden Light (no idea what the hell this is, very excited), G-String, Jet Lancer, Stone, Othercide, Raging Loop, The Floor Is Jelly, and the absolutely baffling The Long Drive

Refunded Cyberpunk 2077 and spent part of that on Mass Effect Andromeda. Guess after almost 4 years, it's finally time for me to know...

Yakuza Like a Dragon is pretty great, the combat does make it feel like a whole party against another party, it's not like the characters are set in concrete between turns, it is more free-flowing than that and works. The story started off slow but it keeps getting more complicated as it goes. These Yakuza games are awesome.

@infantpipoc: boy.. talk about a trade.. as a person that has played and finished Andromeda last year the worst that I can say about the game is that it’s just boring.

I have too many games to actively search for deals but that didn't stop me from getting Super Meat Boy Forever off Epic for $10, Yakuza Like a Dragon for $45 on Windows Store just for the Xbox Play Anywhere (got a Series S for my bedroom), and that RT enhanced version of Observer on Steam for $10

I may jump at the Master Chief Collection for £20 but I still have reservations about my PC's ability to hold steady long enough to get into it.

The new Jackbox Party Pack is 25% off, just in time for a virtual family xmas games night tonight.

Observer: System Redux (upgrade from the original release that I already owned)
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time
Pumpkin Jack
Hades
Apsulov: End of Gods
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Return to Castle Wolfenstien
DMC5 Vergil DLC

Kinda just expected to get Hades but just kinda went for it anyway.

I bought Satisfactory and Sunless Skies.

There are other things I'd like to buy, but I'm at the limit of what I'm comfortable spending this month. Oh well!

@colourful_hippie: Make sure you close the App when you're done with SMB https://hothardware.com/news/epic-games-shenanigans-with-cpus

Alright after days of deliberation, I finally pulled the trigger on:

• Final Fantasy IX (never played it before)
• Darkest Dungeon
• Prodeus (not on sale)
• Into the Breach
• Wide Ocean Big Jacket
• Donut County
• Yakuza: Like a Dragon

I just hope I don't regret not waiting for Yakuza to come down in price.

@treetrunk: Haven't noticed any spikes on my 9900k but I'll keep an eye out, thanks.
