STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions

Thanks... I meant $ / gem ratio not lowest price though.
No easy way to see whether a games goes for less in auction via gems as compared to steamstore or sales-discount.

You gotta check every game. Bit of work. Many games go for more than sale prices.
Some for less.

Expected price. But the 4gb ram for a 650? That looks not normal. Are there even 650s with that much ram?
Seriously doubt that much is needed at minimum.

Probably gonna get a little discount as well, so about 10% off that's 18$ and in € about 15
but we know EU gets shafted :(

Kinda bummed I can't rub this under frost's nose though :(
;)
But I feel it's still cheaper than he thought?

New "final" specs will be up tomorrow apparently - http://www.vg247.com/2014/12/17/def...d-5-ground-zeroes-will-be-published-tomorrow/

“The specifications have been changed a couple of times on the Steam site it seems. The definitive ones will be up on the MGS page tomorrow and the Steam page shortly after,” said the spokesperson.
 
Do you guys use howlongtobeat.com?

I started playing SoundDodger. It's cool, but howlongtobeat says it is about an hour long, yet there seem to be a ton of songs.

usually, htlb main time listed is just going from a->z. I usually go expecting something in between Main Story & Main + Extras to have a better sense of how much i feel i'll end up playing a game.

well the sale hasn't started yet. Check back tomorrow.



Hm. That's strange then. That it would only be active during the sale.

So I just tested it and you do get drops for purchases even though it's not sale time yet. I'm guessing for every $10 like usual. The only thing I can think of as to why $35 purchase didn't give me cards was because it's a preorder (DOA5).

I always use howlongtobeat when I'm looking for games to purchase. It might sway my decision when I can't choose between games to purchase. Moreso with console games and less so with PC games because they're usually cheap enough to the point that I do not consider it as an important factor.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that particular length of time since only three people have submitted times for that game in total.
 
holiday card prices appear to slowly be climbing. Some cards that i bought at .19 are already going for .24, and if Volvo launches a metagame tomorrow i can see it continue to climb for a bit. Dale, volvo!

They're still where they were when I sold mine yesterday which was where they were when I sold my first a few days ago. Look at the sale charts, if they're going somewhere then it's slowly down.

Not really, haha

You're so lying.

Probably not right away.
Especially with blood borne before it.

Missed out on 2, so I might as well wait for the new version. Bloodborne is shaping up nicely, and From always have an interesting aesthetic quality. What I'm really hoping for is a King's Field game somewhere down the line. That was great, yet rather under-appreciated series.

Had I not bought the CE from a second hand seller on Amazon for like 15 bucks I would have waited for the GOTY edition. Didn't think a actual rerelease like that was going to happen.
