The past couple of months of card baroning, praise be to Gaben for his many blessings, have left me armed with a fat wallet for the sale. Gaben is love. Steam is His mighty Church.

Big thanks to Herby Scott and yegods for both recognizing me as the only remaining gamer who both wants to play yet has never owned/played Half Life 2 and gifting accordingly. Sorry I had to decline one of them -- hope it still finds its way to a good goon's library.

Pilkington posted:Just bought YNAB and it's pretty cool. Everyone should get it so they can slowly watch their funds drain into Gaben's coffers. It's actually the boldest thing Valve has ever put up on a sale. Basically just a taunt. Now you can track precisely how much money you are bleeding into your massive backlog of games and yet there's still NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP US MWAHAHAHA

Zurreco posted:How is everyone voting this time around? I figure: I voted for Riptide because L4D2 seems like it is on sale more frequently than any other game on Steam, and because as tempting as it is to vote for Infestation/WarZ out of spite those devs really do not deserve having a single penny directed their way.

err posted:With the card crash, are you guys sitting on your cards until after the sale or selling immediately? This is my uneducated but way too detailed theory -- 1. Game cards won't rebound in the long-term because Summer card drops give a greater than ordinary incentive to craft badges (unless Steam adds some other bonus) 2. There will be a slight, temporary rebound in game and summer cards on the last day or two of the sale as people scramble to finish off the summer achievement 3. Summer cards will get a bit of an additional rebound a week or two after the sale as people try to belatedly complete summer badges from a now-finite supply of cards.

Dezinus posted:I really can't believe renaming your game like that isn't against some Steam rule or something. Oh well, I'm glad the only good zombie game on that list won the vote, even though most people probably have L4D2 at this point. Not to mention that it was actually removed from Steam for a good while. I really wish they would give it the permanent boot.

Jerusalem posted:You can also buy a 3 pack of Trine 2 Complete for the price of 2! They're really pushing it, and it's definitely worth it. I was gifted Trine 2 by a generous goon yesterday and the graphics are absolutely stunning; perhaps the prettiest 2d game I've ever seen. I haven't had enough time to get very deep into it, but it seems like a really fun mix of platformer and puzzle game. The three classes have multiple, unique ways to approach an obstacle.

N. Senada posted:It's like a platformer version. I like it more than minecraft, but I only kinda like minecraft. People compare it most frequently to Minecraft, but it's really a Metroidvania game with a dash of Minecraft thrown in. The longer digs can be a little tedious but I think it's the best (non FTP) playtime:price ratio in my entire Steam library.

TheStampede posted:So someone mentioned using SAM earlier to grind cards, and it piqued my interest. I downloaded and installed it, but all I see are option regarding unlocking achievements (obviously). Am I missing something? Just open up the achievement panel for the game you want cards for and leave it open until you get all your cards. You don't have to actually do anything other than leave the window open.

Technetium posted:Is the original Assassin's Creed worth getting? I've never played an Assassin's Creed game because of the horrible save-game glitch/impossible to advance bug that was in the original 360 version and the chance of hitting that when it came out made me avoid it. I've always been curious and I'm assuming that's fixed but if I wanted to play AC should I start at the beginning? Does it still look/control well? The first is the worst of the series. Brotherhood and AC2 are the ones potentially worth picking it up. I liked AC3 because I am a nerd for that period of history and doing a fetch quest for Ben Franklin pretty much fulfilled a gaming dream for me, but I got it free with a graphics card and I don't think it's worth the current price.

You've done it, thread. I managed to stick to my preordained list and budget throughout the sale so far but I just went off-list for Sleepy Dogs. Does it play better with a KB+M or gamepad?

miscellaneous14 posted:It's a pure platformer, but Super Meat Boy is a wonderful game and totally worth the price. I suspect it'll be featured as a deal at least once more during this sale. Seconding this recommendation for if (when?) it goes back on sale. I had almost no interest in it for a long time but it's turned out to be probably my favorite from this sale so far. Just a pitch-perfect homage to the balls hard platformers of the 8-bit era. But the controls are smooth and the difficulty rarely seems unfair. Also, the way the levels are designed as bite-sized content highly increases the "one more turn" value.

Wildtortilla posted:I think I've finally reached an adult perspective on Steam sales. I've only bought what I'll have time to play between now and the next sale, and I am slowly accumulating a small amount of wealth from card sales. Now I think I'm content to sit back, play what I have, earn some free money from cards, and hopefully be able to get through the winter sale on card money only. Here's how it usually goes for me: On the first few days I am excited but pretty disciplined and only buy the cheapest stuff from my wishlist. About 2/3 of the way through I get bored with the repeats and wind up buying one or two good looking games I might not have considered. On the last day I panic and go into a buying frenzy. Last day is generally where I waste the most money. After the sale, within a week or two I buy something I otherwise wouldn't have bought on a weekend deal or something because I need to wean myself off the Steam sale endorphin rush.

brightweasel posted:So...Sang-Froid is quite frankly fantastic. The music, the aesthetic, the strategy; it all comes together in a magnificent way. Thank you so much everyone who hyped it up in the the thread, it might be my favorite purchase so far this sale. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'm really pleased about a game that flew under the radar that much getting some feature time. It's definitely my surprise pickup of the sale so far; I had no idea it existed at all until people in this thread mentioned it a few days before it went on sale. Hopefully it will come back as a daily for people who missed out. morcant posted:Maybe...maybe he just leaves it running? That's most of my near-200 hours on Bloodlines, forgetting I have a game running, then going away for a weekend or whatever... I have like 2300 hours on my main account in Dota and over 2000+ of that is definitely just from leaving the game on 24 hours with live tournaments auto-playing for a chance at hats and poo poo.
