[MikeE21286]

If we're talking Steam only, then I spent $2.49 on KotOR

 

[RukusProvider]

$0

I don't buy things just becuase they're on sale. I don't ever play through backlogs so now I just buy a game I want when I have time to play it.

$164.86

 

[EternalGamer]

this, pretty much.

I bought Bastion, I think that's it this year. I used to buy TONS more, but then I realized I was just giving them money (which isn't necessarily bad, if I didn't need it for myself) without actually playing the games.

I still want the games.. but then I realize I'll never have a chance to actually play them all so I've learned to be super picky. I feel bad there's so much I'm missing out on but not as bad now that I'm not just wasting money.

I have become comfortable with the idea of just testing out games. There are alot of games I may have only played a few times but I definitely got my $2 worth out of them. A cup of coffee, a drink at a bar, however you want to monetarily compare it, $2 on a game is nothing. Frankly, if I buy 10 cheap games in this sale that is probably less money than I'd spend if I had gone to a bar for happy hour instead. It's a lot healthier too.


I have no problem supporting a dev and getting a game to tool around even if I only play it for an hour or two. I ENJOY the experience of tooling around with a new game and seeing what it has to offer. I don't need to platinum every game I play. They are more like an amuse bouche. And it's cool that I CAN always go back to them if I want a fuller experience.

 

[LQX]

Not as much as I thought I would.

Shogun 2
Fallout New Vegas: Lonesome Road
Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues
About $15

I so wanted Dead Island but seeing as how I missed it for $13 on Amazon and $10 on Steam I cant get myself to buy it for the sale price of $20.

 

[Credo]

Have no clue how you guys can buy so many games, even if they're cheap. Waste of money or you guys have too much time for gaming

That's my issue. If it had been me from 5 years ago, I might've spent $100-200 on this sale, but I haven't been able to justify over half the purchases I wanted to make solely due to time constraints. My backlog is big enough already, and it would be kind of dumb of me to keep adding on.

 

[burgerdog]

Less than $50.

sonic generations: $10 pc
dragon age 2: $6(lol) pc
final fantasy 3: $13 iOS

That should be it.

[SovanJedi]

I bought the latest Humble Indie Bundle for, like, $50. And that's it.

 

[Asparagus]

Absolutely fucking nothing! Not even a Steam sale can make me buy games anymore, not when I'm still making my way through my backlog. I did win Shadowgrounds and get Avadon: The Black Gate in a trade though

 

[Dascu]

Bought:
Protal 2, Orcs Must Die! - 10.98

Not bad at all.

 

[Angry Fork]

Where did you get Arkham City for 13$?

 

[DJMicLuv]

Not much...

Max Payne 1 & 2 - about £3, finished them both in the last week and loved them just as much as when I first played through them on release. Fantastic stuff!

GTA Pack - £4.99 - GTA, GTA2, GTA3, GTA:VC, GTA:SA, GTA4, GTA4 tales. Bought the pack mainly for 1,2,3,VC & particularly SA. Looking forward to ploughing through them.

Bastion - about £4. Loved the demo and been waiting for the steam sale to come around.

So about £12 all in. Great stuff!

 

[famousmortimer]

Between Steam, amazon and HIB4 I got 65 games for $198.


Madness. I'll spare you the list.

Phew. That took a lot more from my wallet than I was expecting. However, I barely made any game purchases this year outside of Portal 2, ME 1 & 2 Pack and Skyward Sword, and this haul will make me set for the entire year.

The only games I was hoping to pick u but didn't due to still too highly priced were:

Arkham City
Dead Island
Civ V GOTY
Serious Sam 3

Overall, a pretty solid Chirstmas Sale!

 

[subversus]

Have no clue how you guys can buy so many games, even if they're cheap. Waste of money or you guys have too much time for gaming
