Ah Friend, [vis_name][/vis_name]. Once again it is time for the Steam Winter Sale, coupled with the 3rd Annual Valve Steam Awards.

This year's theme is along the lines of an advent calendar with every day the chance to unlock a variety of items including profile backgrounds, emoticons and assorted unique knick-knacks (Valve's word) according to the blurb that will level up your Knick-Knack Collectors badge. Seemingly the Cosy Cottage above only covers the first 4 days, so presumably, it will be followed by some breaking and entering allowing us like all good adventurers to rifle through every cupboard and drawer for choice goodies.

Better hope there's some Gold in the Village Lord Gaben, that's all I can say. Otherwise, things could get very cosy indeed: -

Anyway mayhap despite the upcoming festivities, you dear [vis_name][/vis_name]. might deign to share your choice discoveries as you search the store for gaming gold, impress us with your purchases or tales of generosity to your fellow gamers.

Let the Game of Owns begin.

Blue Reflection is finally on sale!

Oh, all the DLC is $235? How generous!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Time to spend too much on games I won’t play

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Ahh yes, the cozy cottage nestled in the hills of 33% discounts.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Time to spend too much on games I won’t play

But could play one day

 

[Stuart360]

Er why is my username in your post op?, have you hacked my account or something lol

 

[Mexen]

But I have no money this year. I bought a Switch haha

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Grabbed some Endless Legend DLC I was missing, but a lackluster day one imho.

 

[J-Roderton]

If something is on sale today it will be for sale every day til the end of this right? Not just one day?

 

[Kadayi]

That seems to be the gist of it. It's not clear at this stage whether they are doing any one-day special promotions.

 

[strange headache]

Yakuza 0 is about 13 bucks on Steam. Not sure if it will get any cheaper since we don't know if we'll get one-day special promotions, but for this price you can't go wrong. It's a nice slice of Japanese culture, likable characters, a silly yet endearing story, nice beat 'em up gameplay and chock full of side activities. It's certainly a massive game for the little money that it's asking.

Kingdome Come is also 50% off, biggest discount since it released on Steam.

It's cheaper right now on Chrono.gg! By $1.50.

I'm down for Hell Blade and Jurassic Park Evolution so far.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I will do my service by posting shmups worth checking out:

 

[Diddy X]

The whole sales dedicated to me? how kind of you

 

[Kadayi]

Ooh, some decent discounts: -

95% off Borderlands 2 & the Prequel plus a shitload of the DLC for both titles: -

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/8133/Borderlands_The_Handsome_Collection/

70% off Dragons Dogma: Dark Risen

50% off Hellblade@: Senuas_sacrifice

30% off Hitman 2. Which is a decent discount on a great recent title: -

 

[J-Roderton]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on Enter The Gungeon.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on Enter The Gungeon.

If you like twin-stick shooters and/or roguelikes, it's at the top of the heap. They added a content patch earlier this year that improved it even further.

 

[Iggzy]

Fallout fans get yourself ATOM RPG, its amazing and in top sellers for a reason, i'm actually surprised there's no thread here about it.

Fanatical has it at the same price and if you use Fanatical10 code you get 10 percent off on top of it. Or they have been sending 15% percent off codes with any purchase so if you buy something super cheap you can use the 15 percent off code for the whole cart. I did that during the Thanksgiving sale on about 4 games in the cart.

https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/hitman-2

Greenman also has it for 37 and they have the GMG12 code for another 12 percent off.

[Cybrwzrd]

Is Half Life 3 on sale this year?

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

No game immediately jumps out at me but i've made 35p since the sale started so yay I suppose...

 

[InvictusBlurp]

I started to play the first Sword Art Online on Vita and never finished it, i will do the mistake to buy it again on Steam and never finish it too

I have the other two SAO games on ps4 and never played them too.....

 

[Pantz]

Blue Reflection is finally on sale!

I believe it's all included in the season pass for $80 but still...

 

[Krappadizzle]

So weird seeing your own username in the OP. Cool, but creepy too. Nothing so far stands out to me, was hoping for a deeper discount on JC4, but other than that, might just get a few games to gift friends.

 

[Kadayi]

XCOM2 75% off: -

The Witcher 3: GoTY edition 60% off: -

Yeah, I tend to do a fair bit of gifting.

I was looking at that the other day, but i'm a couch gamer and it doesn't have controller support, which seems to be a thing with Russian games. Are controllers like evil in Russia or something lol.

I think it's due to dev team being small(11 devs or so) and it's recently came out of early access.

 

[AgentP]

I'm down for Hell Blade and Jurassic Park Evolution so far.

Don't pay too much...

 

[Rei dos Vermes]

I've never heard about this game. Thanks for the tip! I'm definitely buying this!

 

[888]

Don't pay too much...

I’ll try not too...

 

[J-Roderton]

Definitely getting Hotline Miami 2.

 

[dust bunny]

DunDunDunpachi How is ZeroRanger? Been thinking of picking it up. That and maybe Rival Megagun.

It's incredible. Definitely one of the best shmups to come out in a while. Out of all the ones I linked that would be the one I'd recommend most.

I haven't tried Rival Megagun yet but I am a big fan of Twinkle Star and it looks to be similar.

EDIT: Kamui is another really good one and is also on sale. For pure shmups it would be a tossup between Kamui or ZeroRanger.

 

[KyoZz]

Command & Conquer Pack is also at 10€

 

[Wag]

Will Singularity ever be less than $7.50? Geez.

Steam is down for me right now. The sale must have killed it.

 

[-MD-]

Just buying Little Witch for now.

 

[Helios]

Definitely getting Hotline Miami 2.

Beware of glass walls.

 

[Fbh]

Nothing particularly interesting so far.

Got Dragons Dogma for half as much the other day on GOG (thank you gog and your regional pricing )

 

[Cybrwzrd]

 

[Bonfires Down]

Steam Controllers 50% off. Very good deal if you want to try couch gaming.

 

[sol_bad]

Steam is a bit annoying as an Aussie. I get emails about my wishlist but half the games have no pricing as the developer/publisher hasn't created an Australian price.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Re-bought The Witcher 3 GOTY edition. But it's not enough. My appetite has not been sated. I need more.

 

[ROMhack]

Probably pick up The Silver Case

 

[Helios]

https://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwards/2018
Steam Awards are also on-going right now. You'll get trade cards for each vote if you're into that kind on thing.

 

[KINDERFELD]

Picked up Bayonetta and Castlevania Lord of Shadows 2.

 

[kraspkibble]

The only game I might buy is Doom 3 BFG. My first Doom was the 2016 game. I'm super excited for Eternal and was wondering if 3 BFG is worth picking up?

It's an OK game. I haven't played it in a long time, but I have a feeling it hasn't aged particularly well.

 

[Mihos]

I know it's Christmas when I get the "27 items on your wishlist are on sale!" Email

 

[TacosNSalsa]

I bought PUBG (on GMG) for $16 ..I hope it was worth it .looks like fun
