STEAM HOLIDAY SALE: Just when your wallet thinks it can recover from Thanksgiving...

mauve · 12-19-2013, 02:34 PM

Seems like we just finished the Winter Sale-- Hell, I haven't even gotten my credit card statement from the last sale-- and now we're in the Holiday Sale!

Right off the bat, we've got some delicious, delicious game sales: 33% off the newly-released Metal Gear Rising port (seriously, didn't that just come out on PC today?! EDIT: okay, it becomes available in two weeks.), 50% off Arkham Origins, 75% off Bioshock Infinite (wow, again? It's like they're trying to GIVE this game away this year), and many other goodies.

We've also got the Holiday Trading Card dealie through the sales again! Buy real digital goods to get fake digital goods that create real digital backgrounds, emoticons and badges! Yay?

Well, little children, what sort of cheap games will you be getting from the sale this year? What are you looking forward to?

MG Rising already belongs to me.

40% of for the Stanley Parable seems like a good deal too, so i'm considering going for it.

I decided that since i already know all the damn plot of Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite that i can give a pass on these games...

I gladly see the card addicts go into their yearly frenzy of collecting badges jus tlike last year... hell. i still have spare cards from last year's badge!

Apparently the trading card dealie now gives you the ability to craft in-game items for the Free-To-Play titles like TF2, Warframe and Spiral Knights, meaning I might actually start to care about getting badges. That's kinda cool.

List of every game in order of how much it's discounted (remember anything below 75% could go Flash or Daily so wait until the last day!) and a list of all the package deals too. Happy salesing!

I broke down and bought Arkham Origins. I'm REALLY REALLY tempted with Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, but do you guys think it might go lower than 33%? I kind of doubt it, since it's brand spanking new, not even available to play yet, but Steam has surprised me in the past.

It's already daily. It ain't going lower until next summer.

The $20 preorder price on MGR is a limited time thing. I heard 48 hours in one place, and a week somewhere else. But everywhere agrees that after the $20 period is done, it will go back up to $30.

The good news is that the PC version comes with all the DLC, so it's even more worth it.

Quote:

This new PC version includes all three DLC missions: Blade Wolf, Jetstream, and VR Missions, in addition to all customized body upgrades for Raiden, including: White Armor, Inferno Armor, Commando Armor, Raiden�s MGS4 body, and the ever-popular Cyborg Ninja.

Yeah, that's true. Welp, METAL GEAR PURCHASIN' TIME!!

This will be the second game I've bought after watching a Two Best Friends playthrough of it... XD

I would love to buy it but Japan+PC port has not proven itself to be a good combo.

So super hexagon won a community vote @ 90% off making it 29 cents over like 59 cents before(80% off). It beat two other games that were going to become 50% off $20 titles. Can anyone tell me why voting for Super Hexagon was a good idea?

Anywho, I got Long Live the Queen for 50% off anyway, so I'm not mad, just confused.
