Steam Winter Sale - December 20th through January 4th

[Deleted]

Apparently it runs like shit and there's barely anyone online. That's what people say. I dunno, haven't played it.

natural selection 2 ^^


its always in steam's current players list and right now almost 6000 people are playing it (obviously boosted by sale) but its usually tops with 2-3k players so people do still play it.

Anywhere to find skyrim for cheaper than $40?

Digital download.

Steam? Atleast its 33€ so it should be below $40.

Greenmangaming have it for $28 with voucher.

It will probably go 50% off on steam once more this sale though.

I have never played skyrim, but im guessing the concensus is that the game is great right?
I am about to buy it for the $28. I have bought so much recently that my wife is not too happy with another purchase haha.

Cheapest Skyrim has been on Steam is $30 when it goes 50%, Amazon can't sell digital copies of Bethesda games, so they are out, I'd avoid GamersGate right now, things aren't pretty over there, as was said above GMG has it for $28.13.

You can always hope for GMG to go to $30 without the voucher, that would bring it to $21 after discount, but no promises that will happen.

So, currently:

$28 on GMG
Chance to go $21 on GMG
Chance to go $30 on Steam

So, I purchased it from GMG(first time on that site) and have not yet received a cdkey to activate with steam. Does it take sometime, or should it be an instant thing?

If you made an account, click on the account name, then Keys in the drop down. Not sure if you can buy without an account, and if so where the keys are stored in that case

I created an account. I checked under keys, but it shows nothing there. It shows skyrim under games too. From everything I found on the internet, it seems that it should have been given to me instantly. I ended up opening a support ticket.
I am going off topic for this thread, so I will stop now lol.

[Arcilux]

If it shows Skyrim under Games, you should be able to hover over the boxart, and then it will display a link "Show Keys" if that doesn't work, then waiting for support is your best bet.

You can get it calculated on www.steamcalculator.com ... it's got me at $2477.79 right now, although since I bought them all in £'s it probably cost me quite a bit more than that :P

Found 66 Games with a value of
$1385.18 USD

Shit And I'm still buying more...oh man. Driver San Fran is pretty good fun for that price. MP might be dead but the single player free roam can be fun, for awhile.

It found 105 games estimated for $2200 lol and I still have a few games in my inventory plus some others I'm waiting to buy, well atleast I know I bought my games at 50-75 percent off.

Wow, I'm impressed

$575.72. However, I know I did not spend even half that amount lol. Most of my games are from bundles and holiday/flash sales. Skyrim is the only game I bought full price (when it came out on 11/11/11) and otherwise I don't think I spent more than $30 on one game (and that one was Dishonored a few days ago.)

For example:

Company of Heroes: 9.99
CoH: Opposing Fronts: 19.99
CoH: Tales of Valor: 19.99
Darksiders: 19:99
Metro 2033: 19.99
Red Faction: 19.99
Saints Row the Third: 29.99

All of that . . . $139 value, I spent about $5 and thirty cents.

Space Marine is good, clean fun. I was disappointed they didn't try to put an actual plot or interesting characters into it, but the gameplay is still fun. I just wish you spent more time stomping something other than Orks. Tyranids, Eldar, so many other options...

[Drofdel]

Still iffy on whether or not I should get Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. I guess it depends on how active it is online.

[Achaman]

crap deals atm

[Grizzly Willy]

Eh, L.A. Noire and Driver: San Francisco might be worth it at those prices.

[Remilia]

I'm up to $17.
Many games tempting... I RESIST!


Edit- Apparently I have $1754.90 in value.

Saw that deal too. The multiplayer is quite a bit of fun. Kinda reminds me of a less optimized Transformers: War for Cybertron with a much better controller scheme.

Given the whole "WARHAMMER" epic battle aspect of it, I was kinda expecting grander scale battles, like the old Dynasty Warriors games.

[Achaman]

hope the next 6 deals are more interesting than the last bunch

im bored and so far nothings tempted me enough to buy it
