What are you planning on picking up?

Im getting Assetto Corse 1 Complete and Project Cars 2 Complete to play with my new racing rig & VR.

Edit: forgot I already own PC2 :messenger_grinning_sweat:

I had a few things on my wishlist that are on sale, but some of those are cheaper on Epic with their coupon so I'll probably pick them up there instead.

Gonna pick up Cookie Clicker for $3


Had my eye on 3DSen for a while, and it's at a historical low so I'll probably pounce


Also have my eye on Atelier Sophie since it's 40% off and the sequel is coming out in a few months:

Get automobilista 2, don't waste your time with project cars.
 
I don't have Automobilista 2 but Project Cars 2 has a good amount of nice tracks.

It's the most inconsistent package out there in terms of FFB/physics and track accuracy.

Automobilista 2 takes the madness engine and does some wonderful things with it. Reiza have basically created the sim that SMS originally promised.

Man they just refuse to break that 20 dollar threshold for the Atelier games.

For real, I'd probably buy them all right now if they dropped below $20

I will be picking that up as well after messing around with PC2 & AC1. I don't think I am done with Forza yet either.

I will probably get both 1 & 2 for Automobilista.

Probably going to pick up a couple of VR games.

Looks like 'I expect you to die 2' is 28% off and 'Vertigo Remastered' is 40% off.
 
Got a bunch of games gifted to me as a christmas present! I'll take a look at my wishlist later but I doubt I'll get anything since my backlog's already big enough.

Snapped up a few games.





Was hoping to get that fps Terminator game but I'll wait until its gotten a bigger discount.
Have fun with Amid Evil, for me it sits right next to DUSK when it comes to the best retro-fps games that have been released lately. Also the DLC should be dropping soon™.
 
Just a few cheap ones, to begin with. I'm kinda partied out after the autumn sale and I have a backlog in the thousands.
Installing Pureya right away, saw it in the SteamDB best rated games of 2021 and the Warioware style gameplay looks great.
Might pick up Webbed even without a discount. It's cheap and 98% user score!


 
If you want to know what the next fews months are going to look like, this sale is a perfect indication. Why offer a deep sale when they know millions and millions you are going to be forced into lockdown for months. The fall sale i thought was one of the better ones in a very long time, and this maybe one of the worst. What is noticeable to me is a large majority are 20%-%40 off and even the indie of indie games maybe 10%. Very noticeable to me.
 
They are like $8 here under regional pricing lol, but I don't know the games at all. any good?
I've only played Ryza 1 & 2, but they were fun slice of life JRPGs with solid crafting elements and good turn-based battles.
 
For people who need help finding the "deep cuts".







The vouchers on Epic make for some better deals on new games. The with voucher cut on Disco Elysium is a big one.
 
Resident Evil 8 is $30. Never seen it that cheap before. It has Overwhelming Positive reviews which is rare for an AAA title.


Mass Effect Legendary Edition is down to the same price.

If any of you guys love to relax and play something super easy-going over Christmas then I highly recommend this little gem. It's a super short game, but an absolute joy to play. It's a perfect Christmas game. Have fun.

None of the 30 or so games on my wishlist are discounted by very much. Pretty sad sale, which I guess I should be used to by now. I keep hoping for the sales of old where you could buy 6 games for $20. I can barely buy a single game for that now. Digital games now hold their full retail price for years if not forever and if you are lucky you can get them for 50% off during a sale. While I wait for games to get to under $10, I am likely to get it for free on Epic. I guess Steam does not feel threatened by all of the alternative platforms out there, because they are not doing anything different. Between getting games for free on Epic or getting access to a ton of games for $10 a month on GamePass, I am finding myself not using Steam nearly as much as I used to.
 
Looking at Gloomhaven, but I doubt my non-gaming laptop can run it.

I'll be gifting For the King to a couple of friends for sure though. One of my favorite coop games of all time. It was amazing to find this just as the Covid lockdowns hit.

Use places like GG.DEALS. Don't limit yourself to Steam.
 
Got a few Falcom games that's been on my wish list for the longest time.... (Finally bought the Trails of Sky 3rd and a couple of Cold Steel with bigger sales.)

Looking forward playing via Steam deck. Not really sure how compatible these games would be on Proton end... but worst come to worst, I may just install Windows 11 on it.
