Mount&Blade Warband is available for 3.99, I'd pick it up if you haven't played it before. It's kinda awesome :)

CIV 5 AND ALLTHE DLC best game IMO. Worth the money

 

[jumpluff]

At 50% off, the entire bundle is still 40 USD (does 'Complete Edition' include all the DLC, as implied? It's only $5 more than the base in that case). :s (don't know if that's different in other places) That's quite a lot relative to everything else. How much playtime have you gotten out of Civ5 and what does the DLC add to the experience?

I'd be interested if it gets further discounted, but $40 is a lottttt

Also annual reminder to everyone not to instabuy things if there's a chance it could go on sale, as you could get a 50% off game for 75% off, etc.

I just got the Witcher 2 for 4 dollars

also Pacman Championship for 3. That game is incredibly fun.

 

[Ununhexium]

Umm I mean the base game gold expansion and Brave New World. I bought vanilla a while back then BNW. My cousin gifted my Gold so it is a lot of fun. BNW actually has different ways to win, other characters, and new techs.

Tagging RODAN because he knows a lot about civ

 

[jumpluff]

Oh god wtf I could buy a console game for that amount (65 USD), civ nuts are insane

I'd buy it if it dropped to $20 (as a whole) or below though.

 

[Ununhexium]

Is payday worth buying anyone? I've heard its good but I've never played it.

Also,call me six but awesomenauts is fun

I heard Payday is at its best when Co-Op. Not so sure about single player.

I've played Civ 5 many times, and the DLC is very worth it. It's a game series that you just keep coming back to, at least until the next Civ games comes out. Well worth it.

Complete Edition does indeed add all of the DLC. The DLC basically fixes the game since it wasn't great at launch (Brave New World adds a hell of a lot especially)

Civ 5 Complete will probably drop to at least 75% off (so $20AUD) and it wouldn't surprise me if it dropped lower due to Beyond Earth coming out soon. Very worth it.

 

[Ununhexium]

Just for the record should we all post our steam profiles here so we can all friend each other?

 

[vonFiedler]

I would really have loved Ninja Storm 3 for $10 but getting it on the computer basically means no local multiplayer for me and that's no good.

[Renosaur]

i really recommend everyone to pick up Papers, Please. one of the most unique gameplay experiences i have ever had, amazing how what is essentially tedious paperwork can be so fun

 

[GatoDelFuego]

Ununhexium Payday is amazing; one of my favorite series. It's fun to play with people online, but better if you can get some friends.

 

[Ampharos]

Echoing those who say Payday is best with friends - it's a really fun game to play with people you know.

I'm personally hoping that some Borderlands 2 DLCs go on sale so I have an excuse to get back into that game.

Might as well hop on the profile linking bandwagon, go ahead and friend me if you want.

 

[Ununhexium]

FRIEND ME (fsr the link thing isnt working so ill just stick it here http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198050602805)

Also, it says I have game that I don't because my friend gifted me a ton of games but he got wrecked by steam support for scamming xD

 

[Age of Kings]

My username namesake, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is on sale today for $5, seriously one of the best RTSes ever made. PICK IT UP. doitdoitdoit

My haul so far:
Anno 2070 - been confused by the tutorial campaign so far and dumb DRM, hoping it gets better.
Spore + xpacs - ya I still don't have this lol
Dungeon Defenders - looked fun but didn't get any DLC since I didn't anticipate playing much

Spent: $28 USD

Not looking for recs since I have a strange taste in games but feel free to add me. I still have plenty of games from last year I haven't touched yet. lol.

What are the chances of FF7 getting discounted?

What are the chances of FF7 getting discounted?

Pretty good, it usually hits like around 66% to 75% off if I remember previous sales.
