Steam Sale's almost up, post what you purchased and/or how much you spent for Steam backlogtitles here please.

Ys I+II
Ys Origin
A bunch of Civ V DLC that I didn't own yet.


Not a ton of stuff, but I'm looking forward to going through the Ys games after reading through Tizoc's thread on them.
 
I spent like $30.

Nobunaga's Ambition Sphere of Influence
MGS V Ground Zeroes
Starpoint Gemini 2
Star Wolves 3
Game of Thrones RPG
Risen 3

I bought Nobunaga's Ambition on the first day of the sale. So far I've already spent 70+ hours in the game, and I still can't stop playing. There are so many Daimyos and scenarios available to play, and I've only been playing the Oda clan. There's still so many scenario and gameplay possibilities that I haven't experienced. One of my best purchases of all time. I haven't touched the rest of the games.

Total Annihilation and Age of Mythology EX.

$4.82 and the rest was with trading card money.

I was going to buy Impossible Creatures as well but apparently I bought it in March. I forgot I guess.
 
Only $10 for Talos Principle.

I'm trying to decide if I also want Wolfenstein: TNO. I kind of want to say yes but I don't know that I'll play it soon (which I know by know I'll never play it).

But Nobunaga is $30 on its own

Some gifts from friends:

My first purchase of the sale (it was a four-pack):

Went on one of two shopping sprees and bought a lot of weird titles that interest me:

And my second and final big shopping haul which included more 'experience' games:
671a923bbcb01a3a8b4603057adbd94e.png


I also this sale specifically went and bought giftable copies of several multiplayer games to gift to friends. Like that Broforce was a 4-pack, and I bought copies of games I already owned to pass to friends to be able to play with them.

All I picked up was the Bioshock trilogy (which now I'm going to sit on anyway and make my first playthrough with the updated version). And Life is Strange, which is pretty cool so far.
 
I got some Genesis games but that's it. Hyper Light Drifter never dipped below 20% so I'm debating whether or not I should keep waiting or buy it now.

Arkham Knight
The Town of Light

Arkham Knight runs okay I guess, and Tower of Light of was my "ehhh fuck it" purchase of the sale.

It was a weak sale. Everything else on my wishlist wasn't discounted enough for me. Those things can wait for the Fall or Winter sales.

I always enjoy getting cards to sell though. An extra 24 cents or so every day is nice.

Exactly my purchases. I had Bioshock 1 already, so I was able to get away for less than 20, and I only had to get LiS season pass (ep 2-5) ($9.49 CAD) because I had part 1 from a bundle, AND I had enough in my Steam wallet to cover LiS outright.

So all-in-all, damage was only $8.59 CAD for Bioshock 2 and Infinite, pretty good by me.

Yeah everything else I was interested in, I'm okay with waiting until it's not at a 'new game' sale price, because I have such a back log already. Or they were games on sale I bought last summer sale and still haven't gotten around to. So not much that caught my eye.

I was briefly considering the steam controller since I got a new large TV in my living room that's hooked up to my computer and some games I have would be nice to just chill on the couch for, but I think I'd rather just get an xbox controller. Haven't heard enough good things.

The only thing I bought were some Civ V DLCs that I didn't have before:

Civ V Korea DLC
Civ V Wonders of the Ancient DLC
Changing Worlds Map Pack: Continents
Sid Meier's Civilization V: Scrambled Nations Map Pack

But I bought Far Cry 4 on Nuuvem a few days before the Steam sale and my brother gave me Bit Blaster XL.

Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma
Bioshock 2 - Minerva's Den DLC

ZTD wasn't a part of the sale and a full price game, so that was enough for me. I grabbed Minerva's Den DLC because it was the only thing I was missing from the whole Bioshock collection and I wanted it for the free remaster in the near future.
 

Skel1ingt0n

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
About $80 spent, and I went ahead and pre-ordered INSIDE.

I wanted to purchase all the Resident Evil games, but I'm hoping they go cheaper this holiday.

Pretty good sale for me, or at least as good as previous ones. I know I'm in the minority, but I liked that there were no flash deals or stupid sale game. Simple is good. Anyways, I picked up

Beyond Eyes
The Long Dark
Punch Club
Sunrider Academy
Learn Japanese to Survive! Hiragana Battle
12 Labours of Hercules
12 Labours of Hercules II: The Cretan Bull
12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power
12 Labours of Hercules IV: Mother Nature
12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas
JRPG Happiness Love Sexy Bikini Bundle
New Reality Studio Pack

All for $26 CDN, which is around $20 USD. Decided to pass on Age of Decadence for now since the demo didn't really impress me (clunky movement, some weird issues with controls), but I still liked it, so I do plan to pick it up during the winter sale.

That's the problem. It's why I almost never buy anything in these types of sales anymore. Any game that I buy that I don't think I'll play soon, often never ends up getting played.

Therefor my haul was nothing, at a cost of $0.00. :(

I haven't bought anything from this sale. There is really nothing that I want right now that just jumps out at me as something that i have to have. I still have a huge backlogs of games that I purchased from the Steam Winter Sale. I have been trying to limit my back log down to the games that I truly want to play as apposed to the games I sorta want to play that just so happen to be on sale.

Wanted to play all of these but was waiting until they're cheaper. DS2 is kind of a big deal, because the game almost never gets discounted in Japan and it's a different version, so you can't just buy it for cheap somewhere else.
