ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE?? *Steam Sales General*

[AssassinDX]

Just picked up Prison Architect and Steam Marines because why the smurf not?

I got this at full price when it was released, I'm close to 50 hours in. Suffice to say it's brilliant even in alpha, and the developers release the next version every month (the only exception being in October when one of them had a baby, which is fair enough).

I've spent more on this sale and the Autumn one a few weeks back than I have in the previous four or five sales combined, so far I've picked up:

Galactic Civilizations II
Hotline Miami
Bastion
Anno 2070 Complete Edition
Endless Space + Disharmony DLC
Left 4 Dead 2
The Witcher

And I've also got NBA 2k13 and Crash Time II from Greenman Gaming.

Also, tomorrow's games have accidentally been leaked:

Grand Theft Auto IV 75% off
Alan Wake 90% off
Kerbal Space Program 40% off
Metro: Last Light 66% off
Rising Storm 75% off
Game Dev Tycoon 50% off
Outlast 66% off
Farming Simulator 2013 50% off
Injustice: Gods Among Us 50% off

Gonna get Game Dev Tycoon and Farming Simulator (yes yes, I know), this is getting expensive.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Farming Simulator.

I'm super stoked about this Euro Truck Sim 2 deal; I think I might have to splurge.

[AssassinDX]

Haha I own that too, it is brilliant. I'm a sucker for simulator games, but I draw the line at stuff like Woodcutter and Road Sweeper Simulator, that's just silly.

[Pike]

I looooved the first Euro Truck Sim! I've heard good things about the second.

I would in fact play Woodcutter and Road Sweeper Simulator.

I think that's all I bought this sale, outside of some bundles that I can't remember, but those aren't directly Steam Sale related.

[Slothy]

Bought Saints Row IV. Freezes after the company logo videos finish playing, or if I skip them.

I guess it wouldn't be a fitting end to 2013 if I didn't buy a game on PC and have something be wrong with it. Not sure what's up this year, but it's the third time it's happened, and the other two have not been easy fixes.

[Jiro]

My policy of not going for huge titles has made this a pretty sparse sale. I try to keep my purchases under, say, $10 unless in the case of ridiculous deals or something I really desperately want. Let me try and see what I've got this time:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution director's cut -- because director's cut smurf yeah
Morrowind -- because I need it for ~research~
Final Fantasy VII -- because I never actually paid for it before and setting up my PC crack is trout
Just Cause 2 -- because $2 and it was fun when I played my brother's copy
The Novelist -- thank you to Nicolas for this one, it's pretty cool if running dodgy on my laptop
Civ V -- because even though I know I'm a disappointment it's still easier to play with my meatspace comrades if they get the simpler game
Tomb Raider -- because I had no plans to get this on a console and it was touted as potential GotY and $10 w/e
Tower Wars -- because if you sweet talk people they will buy you cheap games

[Scotty_ffgamer]

If anyone wants to get me Fallout New Vegas so I can finally see what all the hubbub is about, I'd be totally okay with that

I really haven't gotten too much from this sale. I got FFVII and VIII, Gunpoint, Monaco, and Endless Space (thanks Nico!) I think that's it.

[Rantz]

I got Deponia today. Considering getting The Swapper as well. Anyone tried it?

[Spuuky]

I got Agarest today, because I'm desperate for games of that style on the PC and I had wallet funds left, but my expectations are pretty low.

[Dr Unne]

I got Deponia today. Considering getting The Swapper as well. Anyone tried it?

Swapper is a cool game. The designers created models out of clay and video captured them for game graphics. It looks really good. It's a creepy kind of game without being full-fledged horror (no jump-scares or anything). The story delves into certain weird pseudo-philosophical areas which is kind of cool for a video game.

The gameplay is fun. Vaguely of reminiscent of a 2-D Portal, though not really. It's mostly a puzzle game, with a few platforming sections.

My main complaint is the game is short. There are a lot of simple puzzles to teach you the game mechanics that you'll likely breeze through, and then some good puzzles, and that's it. A couple puzzles had me stumped for a while, but I still beat the game in 4 hours. I would've loved a few more hours of puzzles. But that probably means I enjoyed the stuff that was there.

Thanks, that sounds interesting enough. Bought it along with Nihilumbra, which also looks pretty fun.

[Jiro]

The Swapper is wicked good fun. I felt so proud when I figured out tricks to succeeding in some puzzles. Mind you, some of them have been too hard for me >_<

[Tasura]

Just got Poker Night 1 and 2, cause super cheap xD.

[AssassinDX]

I also bought Poker Night 2 (already had 1 from a previous sale), the only thing they're missing is some sort of multiplayer feature.

Last day tomorrow too guys, even though it say it ends on the 3rd that's literally when it ends - 10am (or 6pm, or whatever your timezone) on the 3rd itself. I made that mistake with the Autumn sale thinking it was going to run right through the final advertised day (and for the sake of comparison end on the 4th) so make sure to grab any last minute deals.
