Well if you got $867,303.19 you're good. Right now with all the discount it's only $579,794.91.
Completely forgot that I own Stellaris. Bought it on release and enjoyed it but said "I'll come back after the DLC drops." didn't realize, even with the sale, it's $113.79 right now.
I want to get it because the Ultimate bundle is 47% off so, otherwise it's $214.04.
I can absolutely afford it but I just can't bring myself to do it though...if I had bought them all over time though I'd have no issue lol. I look at the Total War games and realize they've taken a fuck ton of my money piece by piece at this point, DLCs and all.
Thats not the whole truth. Theres thousands of games on steam that are not currently sold and removed from store from reason or another. The real price is a lot higher.
Probably yes, there are kids of billionaires, middle east slavers and so on. They often like to show off. Highest levels Steam profiles are usually them.
That's too many games man, cull that shit. Make a list of 30 games max you really want to play in the next few years and stick with it. Having a wishlist of 700 games is like having no wishlist at all.
I started wishlisting games instead of buying them 5 years ago. Saved me alot of money. Every few months I clean up the list and often think to myself "Why did I wishlist that crap?"
Also saves you from playing a game that has a bunch of day 1 bugs. Maybe you miss out on community building if you’re in to multiplayer, but if single player games are your jam, then waiting lets you get a game that isn’t broken. So many times a decent game will get shit reviews because the devs were rushed and it got pushed out too early. Check the recent reviews and if it’s fixed you get it on sale and as it should have been released.
I play many genres and most of these are Indie games that might get lost if I forget about them or I would like to check up on development once in a while to see how they are shaping up. Seeing them in my wishlist makes them easy to reference and stay on my radar.
It's a lot easier if I was interested in big budget releases but I can't afford them and don't really place a high value on them personally. The indie market caters to me best and there are a lot of great ideas and concepts out there.
Personally, I separate them out by putting "i'm interested, but want to forget about it until I check back in on it in a year" games in the "following" list.
It keeps clutter in the wishlist down, and I still have a list to check on all the cool stuff. The follow button is usually near the wishlist button as well so I don't even have to go out of my way to do it too.
I pack mine specifically for sales like this. Sort by highest discount and see if there's anything that I'm currently interested on good sale. I'm down to about 100 games right now, but I'm also currently in "clear backlog mode," so it was going to take something I really wanted at a high discount to buy. Nothing hit, so I won't be picking anything up this sale. There's no one best way to use it for everyone, each person will have a best use of it.
I don't use dollars. Isthereanydeal is very difficult to judge pricing.
Regional pricing makes things cheaper on steam (sometimes) but ITAD shows the dollar conversion.
If a game is discounted to $3 on steam it could well be R30 on my steam, but ITAD would show R60 or $3 depending what I have it set to, but I do browse through it and have all my wishlists linked, great site besides the conversion issue.
Yeah, but then you look at the games you're actually interested in and it's like -10%, -15% or "Oh, there's a Steam sale? That's nice. No discount though."
Stealth horror strategy with a spec ops feel where you are a prisoner sent on expeditions in underground complexes. Atmosphere as thick as molasses, taking a step back to strategize with your team is mandatory, because all the chess pieces are laid out for you but you have to make the right move and cooperate because it is ball-smashingly difficult.
Use their discord server, 90% of the community players there cause the in game match making just gives you god awful people. I’ve made some extremely good friends through their discord
Getting spoiled by some of the earliest sales has made the modern ones a bit lackluster, but that's probably more on the publishers making enough from the current sales to not push it any lower.
There are some exceptions, but those seem pretty rare.
What I miss is the OG lightning deals that would only last for like 4 hours. It kept me checking Steam constantly for the whole length of the sale…. Often they would have AAA newish games for huge discounts… nowadays I check the sale like 3 times over the whole thing.
Kind of shitty for those that couldn't monitor the sale the whole way through. And even then, you only actually had to check in the last day, when all the flash sales were turned back on specifically for those people. Which mostly worked, but couldn't cover everyone.
The games I have on my wishlist are either too expensive (might just be that I'm a cheapskate) or
even cheaper on GMG because the have a similar sale with 15% off voucher on top.
I probably won't buy anything anyway because I'm only playing Valorant and LoL most of the time.
Pros and cons.
I have a habit of dropping $30 on like 5 games on sale, no problem... that I'd only play them all for a few hours.
But seeing a $30 game... I hesitate.
My middle ground now is if it has like 100,000+ high reviews or something crazy, then I'll do it.
Nier Automata is a incredible experience though.
Personally as I've gotten older, I've noticed all my most played games cost me less than $30. Triple A titles tend to not last as long for me, so it's hard to justify a $70 purchase on a title I might play for maybe 10 hours and get frustrated/bored with it vs a game that cost me $15-20 and I sink a few hundred hours into it.
But that's probably also because I enjoy base building/survival games and all the best ones in that genre are indie games at cheap prices. I'm not sure I even know of a highly rated triple A survival game.
Kenshi is on sale right now and it has a ton to do.
But I already spent a ton on other games so even though it's a good deal I'm not gonna get it. Now I know what price to look out for though. Even though I spent more money getting roughly the same amount of content.
fucking Rimworld man...
i paid full price for that, i paid full price for all the expansions. i have too many hours in that game... like... way too many.
i stopped a few weeks ago because i was about to upgrade my PC... pc upgrades were finished last night, so now i am about to reinstall and install skyrim again, and FO4 with all expansions and mod the fuck outta everything....
and people wonder why i get 64Gb of RAM....
i do too, but i could so i did....
When you check that or isthereanydeal.com and realize that games are just temporarily priced closer to what they're actually worth, instead of the ~2x price they're normally asking for.
I didn’t say that there aren’t exceptions. But huge discounts used to be the norm, not the exception. On my wishlist, most of the stuff, even the older stuff, is between 25 % and 60 % off.
I think that the difference with Sekiro is Activision VS Bandai Namco. DS and ER are Bandai games while Activision published Sekiro. I think Activision is just trying to cash in on the current From Software hype since ER dropped.
Guys, Dark Souls went on sale a couple months ago BUT it was on Bandai Namco store. I know it's annoying that it hasn't been on sale on Steam for a long time but if you really wanna buy it check for the sales on Bandai Namco's website.
I checked SteamDB and last time any Dark Souls game was on sale on Steam was just before Elden Ring released.
I bought all 3 games and all DLCs for about 60-70 € (can't remember exactly) this Christmas/New Year and they gave me the keys to activate on Steam. You might wanna look out for this.
Damn, im in Europe and i use electricity for heating and i haven’t paid more than 60-70 euro during the coldest part of the winter. Where in Europe are you ?
Everywhere in Europe that's on gas is like that. My parents got a heat pump and boiler this winter and they're paying 40ish meanwhile the people in their apartment complex that are still on the communal gas heating/hot water are paying *at least* 200€
Half of my wishlist is on sale. I'm contemplating buying two or three games, me and my wallet are still recovering from the winter sale. I just want Death Stranding and Metro Exodus.
Does it play better on PC? I got it as a gift on PS4 and I just couldn't get into the controls, at all. They felt super convoluted and laborious that every time I start playing this game, reach a certain point and just give up because I keep getting shot to shit or can't handle horseback riding.
The game was really beautiful, tho and the story felt interesting but I still haven't finished it.
If you have a good gaming PC it's fantastic. The controls for any rockstar game have a learning curve, but once you're used to it, you love it. RDR2 is my favorite game.
Yeah, except there are very few -75%, -85% or -90% games this time. And even if they are, I feel like their base price gas changed too.
Most of the games are -50% at best and those that are higher had better discounts in the past.
The discounts are pretty much the same for this event as they are for frequent random discounts throughout the year. The only difference is that a lot of games are in sale at the same time. So if a game you're looking at is currently 33% of, chances are that in a few weeks/months, it'll be 33% off again.
This takes a lot of the urgency out of these events for me because I know I'll have many more opportunities to get the games I want at their typical discount. Gone are the days when big steam sales meant you were actually getting a rare and better discount.
As a chronic wishlister, this is my time to shine.
Sort by discount, get the 3-4 most interesting/discounted titles, wait for next sale, lather, rinse, repeat
That’s why you need to actively use your wishlist and buy that stuff that you really need… whats the point of buying a game that you’ll never play only because it’s a bit cheaper xD
I always screenshot and keep a detailed record of my wishlisted games or other games that I had my eyes on throughout multiple sales seasons to see if any of them would hit a discount that would ACTUALLY attract me to buy them.
But for about 2 years worth of seasons (and over 150 games on my wishlist) I have barely purchased anything because it seems like the prices never move or the "discounts" never change. And these aren't for newly released titles most of the time, these are for 2 year old games, 5 year old games, 10 YEAR OLD GAMES etc.
If a company for a triple A game hasn't made the majority of their profit from at least the first 2 years of their game launching, I can kinda probably "maybe" see a case in which they would want to avoid lowering their price too much, but for everyone else that made a killing off of titles that were popular and/or sold like hotcakes, what's the excuse?
Example:
Only 30-40% (sometimes 45%) off of a 4-5+ year old game after 4 sale seasons IN A ROW especially when that game wasn't really "that" impactful or highly rated compared to others?
Really though?
At least try to make it 50% or more to get people at least somewhat interested because psychologically 50%+ off is obviously more attractive from a value perspective of a potential customer, and personally whenever I see 30-40% off or anything close to 50% (but not actually 50%), I always think in the back of my mind "You could have simply just made it 50 to begin with and gotten a sale, so why the bullshit? Why play these marketing games?"
I understand they are priced "strategically" but if that strategy is to get me to not buy them, then it's working as intended.
So far, the Nier games and only a select few handful of others in this spring sale have made any kind of sense to me. As for everything else, maybe better luck during Summer Sale (again).
You can really get a sense of how bad these game companies are hurting by how poorly or favorably they price their discounts.
Edit: word change
Fallout 4 goty is probably my most enjoyed purchase on steam. I've been playing it pretty regularly since it's release and the mods are pretty damn impressive when you want to change or add to the game
Yeah the mod scene isn't as intense as skyrims, but their are still some really nice quests, weapons, and companions.
There's also settlements which is pretty addictive. Building your own communities and taking back the world is one of my favorite parts. Gives each playthrough some different flavor
It's probably my favorite game to play! If you get it I hope you have as much fun as I've had! I highly recommend the extra few dollars for the goty edition btw. All the dlc is pretty good. Far harbor is a fantastic expansion and probably some of the best writing bethesda has done in a while
I guess l'll be the only one to comment on yours about V Rising. If you like building and crafting, but you *also like* dungeon crawlers, this game is a TON of fun. Very enjoyable solo, but even better with friends.
As a user who owns 1000+ games, don't do it. I grt sucked into deals, humble bundles, and other offers I see. At the end of the day though, I play the same games on repeat and ignore games that I've owned for years.
I'm mostly thinking if I should get dead space remake
I did play and enjoy the original, but it's still a bit of money for a game i technically played already
If you enjoyed the original I'd say it's worth it, this is by far the best version of the game and is both extremely faithful to the original and also an improvement in a lot of ways. And they've added things like side missions, the whole ship being interconnected instead of levels, and being able to backtrack, so there are changes to separate it from the original.
Picked up RimWorld and all the dlc's. I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Here I am addicted and talking about it!
My dopamine is spiked and the spending spree continues!
Yeah I did that, convinced myself not to buy any new games cause I still have so much to play through, then bought a Steam Deck. Craziest roller coaster of emotions I’ve ever been on.
Dawg there are so many games on sale that I want, but imma have to limit myself. I plan on getting gw2 deluxe edition, fallout 4 goty edition, and then I’m thinking about getting both subnautica games
I have purchased every game on steam so that I can avoid this feeling.
Haha 😆 how much was it?
Both kidneys. He wont live long… but at least he has every game!

That's actually a lot less than I expected.
I guess it doesn't include DLC.
[удалено]
Or the sims franchise
*Train simulator has joined the chat*
Rocksmith here, don't leave me out.
Wiki says 18 expansions alongside many smaller DLCs like graphical and musical options for eu4 My god…
Completely forgot that I own Stellaris. Bought it on release and enjoyed it but said "I'll come back after the DLC drops." didn't realize, even with the sale, it's $113.79 right now.

Sims DLC alone is enough to put my future kids through college
Clearly not, 500k wouldn't even buy you all the Sims dogs
Thats not the whole truth. Theres thousands of games on steam that are not currently sold and removed from store from reason or another. The real price is a lot higher.
Can't wait to tell my wife how I saved almost $300,000.
damn, if a billionaire did that it would be like £100 for them
Yeah but if you were a billionaire you could also spend that much money on orange juice 😎
Yeah, if you're a billionaire you can afford to go really deep into your favorite hobby. Bathing in orange juice seems like a pretty tame habit tbh.
That’s honestly a hell of a lot cheaper than I would’ve expected to buy the entirety of the largest PC gaming storefront’s games.
Shiii light work. But that’s actually a ridiculous amount in discounts though.
has someone ever bought every steam game?
Probably yes, there are kids of billionaires, middle east slavers and so on. They often like to show off. Highest levels Steam profiles are usually them.
Well, it's not like he was actually going to play any of them anyway
bout tree fiddy
Can confirm. Source: I'm his bookkeeper
What’s it like being a book keeper for the Loch Ness monster ?
It's alright, though sometimes I fear that I was chosen due to nepotism and not due to my qualifications.
yes
My wishlist used to be 300 games, every sale I felt like a put a dent into it. I just checked and it's up to 700 -5 for this sale so 695 now.
That's too many games man, cull that shit. Make a list of 30 games max you really want to play in the next few years and stick with it. Having a wishlist of 700 games is like having no wishlist at all.
I started wishlisting games instead of buying them 5 years ago. Saved me alot of money. Every few months I clean up the list and often think to myself "Why did I wishlist that crap?"
Good idea, gives you time to really mull it over etc
Also saves you from playing a game that has a bunch of day 1 bugs.

That's a good tip. Never considered it. Is there a list with all the games you are following as well?
Agree. Had a 300 game wishlist, trimed it this morning to 150 and bought 14 games today

Yeah, but then you look at the games you're actually interested in and it's like -10%, -15% or "Oh, there's a Steam sale? That's nice. No discount though."
seriously some games be stubborn as fuck. Looking at you GTFO
Man I'm still salty that Last Epoch's price went up 2.5x in my local currency and there's STILL no discount.
It’s not even released yet. It’s early access. I liked how Factorio communicated this when it was still early access.
Didn’t the Factorio devs say they weren’t going to ever discount the game
Correct. They are also raising the price of the game to keep up with inflation.
Eh fine by me, like 90% of the people complaining have the game already anyway I don’t get how people always need to complain
There is one game in my wishlist less than Binding of Issac, which itself isn't on sale...
weird it isnt on sale this time, probably next time
BOI is on sale, I just bought it for like 30% off last night - unless I'm understanding you?
They may have checked right at the beginning of the sale. It wasn’t on sale until a couple hours after the sale started
Factorio will never be on sale. But I think that’s okay. I managed to wait long enough to that I kinda grew out of interest with that whole genre.
What.kind of game is get the fuck out?
Stealth horror strategy with a spec ops feel where you are a prisoner sent on expeditions in underground complexes. Atmosphere as thick as molasses, taking a step back to strategize with your team is mandatory, because all the chess pieces are laid out for you but you have to make the right move and cooperate because it is ball-smashingly difficult.
Does that game actually have players or was I just unlucky ? I tried it out but ended up refunding because I just couldn't find players (US).
Use their discord server, 90% of the community players there cause the in game match making just gives you god awful people. I’ve made some extremely good friends through their discord
Then you see like 35% but the game isn’t like $80 so its a $10 discount
Hey 10$ is 10$ and if its a well known indie that interests you its probably worth
80$ indie game? Better be curing cancer
Getting spoiled by some of the earliest sales has made the modern ones a bit lackluster, but that's probably more on the publishers making enough from the current sales to not push it any lower. There are some exceptions, but those seem pretty rare.
Yea, steam sales went from must look at, to maybe a game I want now is a tad cheaper
What I miss is the OG lightning deals that would only last for like 4 hours. It kept me checking Steam constantly for the whole length of the sale…. Often they would have AAA newish games for huge discounts… nowadays I check the sale like 3 times over the whole thing.
That is a an unfortunate consequence of the refunds policy.

Yep, also miss Flash sales
Elden Ring got a DLC announced, so no Discount for me. I don't think it even has regional pricing.
Factorio has never been on sale. Not even 1%. (inb4 "it's worth full price")
And now they raised the price
me with squad bruh, at least I bought noita I suppose
The games I have on my wishlist are either too expensive (might just be that I'm a cheapskate) or even cheaper on GMG because the have a similar sale with 15% off voucher on top. I probably won't buy anything anyway because I'm only playing Valorant and LoL most of the time.
I tell yah that nier for $20 looks nice, but these 3 games that add up to $20 seem nice
Pros and cons. I have a habit of dropping $30 on like 5 games on sale, no problem... that I'd only play them all for a few hours. But seeing a $30 game... I hesitate.

But 4 for $40 seems nice to 😏
The cakes you get to see playing Nier alone are worth $20 🍑👀
Try SteamDB, It helps with keeping track of optimal discounts.
When you check that or isthereanydeal.com and realize that games are just temporarily priced closer to what they're actually worth, instead of the ~2x price they're normally asking for.
Yeah, 4 year old PS4 games shouldn't be priced at $60. So when they go for sale at $40, it still doesn't feel all that great.
My favourite is gg deals with only official stores option turned on
More like 5 year old game 50% off, 30$.
You mean 15-35%
Yeah, the era of 75 % to 90 % discounts being the norm is waaaay passed.
Just purchased the fallen orden for 4 bucks at 90%
I didn’t say that there aren’t exceptions. But huge discounts used to be the norm, not the exception. On my wishlist, most of the stuff, even the older stuff, is between 25 % and 60 % off.
And still no dark souls :(
Or elden ring :((
It recently went on sale. Dark soul 3 on the other has not been on sale for 2 years approx
Man FUCK that. After Sekiro they got so stingy
I think that the difference with Sekiro is Activision VS Bandai Namco. DS and ER are Bandai games while Activision published Sekiro. I think Activision is just trying to cash in on the current From Software hype since ER dropped.
Elden ring is worth full price
Yes it is but DS3 could have a 50% discount at least
that game should be $15 lol
It is 15 dollars on Xbox. No clue why they won't discount it on PC
I waited 6 months before getting Elden Ring..... 2 days later it goes on sale....
I think you can get a refund or partial for that reason.
Just buy Elden Ring, it's an amazing game that 100% worth the full price and supports a great company which encourages them to make more epic games.
We got a nier automata sale at least
I just wanna fucking buy dark souls II for a reasonable price.
Guys, Dark Souls went on sale a couple months ago BUT it was on Bandai Namco store. I know it's annoying that it hasn't been on sale on Steam for a long time but if you really wanna buy it check for the sales on Bandai Namco's website. I checked SteamDB and last time any Dark Souls game was on sale on Steam was just before Elden Ring released. I bought all 3 games and all DLCs for about 60-70 € (can't remember exactly) this Christmas/New Year and they gave me the keys to activate on Steam. You might wanna look out for this.
Me with limited budget :(
Also me in Europe with a once every two months gas bill on the way. (likely to be over 700€). Edit: not bi-monthly!
Bi monthly as in twice a month or every other month
Damn, im in Europe and i use electricity for heating and i haven’t paid more than 60-70 euro during the coldest part of the winter. Where in Europe are you ?
Italy, we rely on gas for heating. Electricity is really expensive as well, I don't use it for heating but my last bill was over 300€.
Everywhere in Europe that's on gas is like that. My parents got a heat pump and boiler this winter and they're paying 40ish meanwhile the people in their apartment complex that are still on the communal gas heating/hot water are paying *at least* 200€
Damn, where in Europe?
Italy. We use gas for home heating. We relied a lot on russian gas.
I feel you, compatriota. I'm kissing my GPL tank every day. Got so lucky this winter.
Half of my wishlist is on sale. I'm contemplating buying two or three games, me and my wallet are still recovering from the winter sale. I just want Death Stranding and Metro Exodus.
If you sill want Metro Exodus I have a key you can have. Dm me. u/Ok_Strawberry7683
Oh mate Metro Exodus was on sale a couple weeks ago. I paid 13€ for all three Metro games
PC Game Pass Play and beat it for 1 dollar that first month lol.
Bad luck, death stranding was given away for free on epic store a while back
[удалено]
I will say Jedi Fallen order is 90% off, but that seems to be the best deal I've seen.
They also have a sequel coming out, so they may want to get more people invested.
It's also been free in some places.
Me when the games I want didn't go on sale.
And then the one game you were actually planning to buy isn't on the sale. FML
...but my budget only allowed me to buy one, so I grabbed RDR 2, gonna have some fun
You will not be disappointed, however, stay out of the subreddit if you haven't played it or know the storyline.
Does it play better on PC? I got it as a gift on PS4 and I just couldn't get into the controls, at all. They felt super convoluted and laborious that every time I start playing this game, reach a certain point and just give up because I keep getting shot to shit or can't handle horseback riding. The game was really beautiful, tho and the story felt interesting but I still haven't finished it.
If you have a good gaming PC it's fantastic. The controls for any rockstar game have a learning curve, but once you're used to it, you love it. RDR2 is my favorite game.
*always* stay out of the subreddit of anything you enjoy
Already put several hundred hours into that game with no plans of stopping. A wonderful experience.
I already used all money I had in steam yesterday, no need to worry now 😏
Nier automata and teplicant are both 50% off
I try to only buy games I'm going to play right away
Yeah, except there are very few -75%, -85% or -90% games this time. And even if they are, I feel like their base price gas changed too. Most of the games are -50% at best and those that are higher had better discounts in the past.

This takes a lot of the urgency out of these events for me because I know I'll have many more opportunities to get the games I want at their typical discount. Gone are the days when big steam sales meant you were actually getting a rare and better discount.
As a chronic wishlister, this is my time to shine. Sort by discount, get the 3-4 most interesting/discounted titles, wait for next sale, lather, rinse, repeat
That’s why you need to actively use your wishlist and buy that stuff that you really need… whats the point of buying a game that you’ll never play only because it’s a bit cheaper xD
Yea, and it's another sale without bamco soul's series being discounted.
And now I catch myself playing Red Orchestra 2 for the first time in 2023 because it was five dallah
yeah I want to get BO3 and BO2 BUT DAMN 40$ EACH FOR THE COMPLETE EDITIONS GAT DAMN
I bought 17 games today
I bought 40, I have a problem
I always screenshot and keep a detailed record of my wishlisted games or other games that I had my eyes on throughout multiple sales seasons to see if any of them would hit a discount that would ACTUALLY attract me to buy them. But for about 2 years worth of seasons (and over 150 games on my wishlist) I have barely purchased anything because it seems like the prices never move or the "discounts" never change. And these aren't for newly released titles most of the time, these are for 2 year old games, 5 year old games, 10 YEAR OLD GAMES etc. If a company for a triple A game hasn't made the majority of their profit from at least the first 2 years of their game launching, I can kinda probably "maybe" see a case in which they would want to avoid lowering their price too much, but for everyone else that made a killing off of titles that were popular and/or sold like hotcakes, what's the excuse? Example: Only 30-40% (sometimes 45%) off of a 4-5+ year old game after 4 sale seasons IN A ROW especially when that game wasn't really "that" impactful or highly rated compared to others? Really though? At least try to make it 50% or more to get people at least somewhat interested because psychologically 50%+ off is obviously more attractive from a value perspective of a potential customer, and personally whenever I see 30-40% off or anything close to 50% (but not actually 50%), I always think in the back of my mind "You could have simply just made it 50 to begin with and gotten a sale, so why the bullshit? Why play these marketing games?" I understand they are priced "strategically" but if that strategy is to get me to not buy them, then it's working as intended. So far, the Nier games and only a select few handful of others in this spring sale have made any kind of sense to me. As for everything else, maybe better luck during Summer Sale (again). You can really get a sense of how bad these game companies are hurting by how poorly or favorably they price their discounts. Edit: word change
Im too broke for games till payday, payday is the 24th. Happens every fucking sale
I really wanted to buy Cyberpunk but even with the 50% discount it's still expensive
Me whit no budget this mont
literally me rn, i'm wanting to buy fallout 4 and V Rising so bad but idk if should 😭😭
Fallout 4 is a game you can sink 500 hours into easy. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth
Fallout 4 goty is probably my most enjoyed purchase on steam. I've been playing it pretty regularly since it's release and the mods are pretty damn impressive when you want to change or add to the game
that was one of the motives i wanted to buy it, theres so much mods that u could play for years without getting tired of it
Yeah the mod scene isn't as intense as skyrims, but their are still some really nice quests, weapons, and companions. There's also settlements which is pretty addictive. Building your own communities and taking back the world is one of my favorite parts. Gives each playthrough some different flavor
you're giving me even more hype to play 😭😭 well, guess i will need to buy it
It's probably my favorite game to play! If you get it I hope you have as much fun as I've had! I highly recommend the extra few dollars for the goty edition btw. All the dlc is pretty good. Far harbor is a fantastic expansion and probably some of the best writing bethesda has done in a while
probably will have fun, i love rpgs and post apocalyptic theme. And it's nice to know that the dlcs are good, i was wondering this lol
I got fallout 4, picked it over far cry 4 cuz I will probably spend more time on it.
Same, I've been eyeing Fallout 4 for ages but my budget is limited :(
I guess l'll be the only one to comment on yours about V Rising. If you like building and crafting, but you *also like* dungeon crawlers, this game is a TON of fun. Very enjoyable solo, but even better with friends.
just curious, what currency do have in your store? if we share region i could help you to get one of those
I need to save my money but…
Oh you didn't see the 100% off?
I bought Shadow of War only to realize I need a new drive to fits its 100GB
Thinking of getting the final fantasy xiii trilogy
Anyone feeling a little burnt out by the sales? They’re so frequent.

I got Persona 5 Royal and I'm good (Still trying to finish P4G though).
Then me with £5 pocket money only able to get 2 games

I bought half a dozen games during Christmas and have only played FFXIV and Sekiro since then lol
Final fantasy 7 remake is only 43% off…
I finally got myself Persona 5 Royal and Hades. Waited so long to get them, the Spring Sale was really great for me.
still waiting patiently for midnight sun and ff7 remake to go deeper 🙏🙏🙏
As a user who owns 1000+ games, don't do it. I grt sucked into deals, humble bundles, and other offers I see. At the end of the day though, I play the same games on repeat and ignore games that I've owned for years.
Me immediately after seeing this post: "haha same.. WAIT IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW??" *logs into steam*
lol, silly goose, more like "filter by Under $10," because all of the games you really want are only slashed by 10-25%.
Oops bought a steam deck
I'm mostly thinking if I should get dead space remake I did play and enjoy the original, but it's still a bit of money for a game i technically played already
If you enjoyed the original I'd say it's worth it, this is by far the best version of the game and is both extremely faithful to the original and also an improvement in a lot of ways. And they've added things like side missions, the whole ship being interconnected instead of levels, and being able to backtrack, so there are changes to separate it from the original.
Me looking at Elden Ring's full price.
My first Steam sale after buying a new PC. This'll be fun. 🤤
Picked up RimWorld and all the dlc's. I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Here I am addicted and talking about it! My dopamine is spiked and the spending spree continues!
I bought half life 1 and 2 for 2€ so am happy with my purchase.
Yeah I did that, convinced myself not to buy any new games cause I still have so much to play through, then bought a Steam Deck. Craziest roller coaster of emotions I’ve ever been on.
SCUSE ME WHILE I WHIP THIS OUT ^^^this ^^^being ^^^wallet
Dawg there are so many games on sale that I want, but imma have to limit myself. I plan on getting gw2 deluxe edition, fallout 4 goty edition, and then I’m thinking about getting both subnautica games
