Steam Christmas Sales

[scottish]

Rumored to begin Dec 20th and end Jan 4th

Anything you're looking for being in it?

I'll no doubt buy a bunch of stuff just cause it's on sale, but only really looking to get Skyrim (maybe DLC) and Garrys Mod

[lawrawrrr]

Same as you :( If I don't open steam maybe I won't be tempted to buy anything....

[scottish]

I'll tag you to decent games ;)

hopefully euro truck sim 2 gets put on steam so i can get ppl to buy it !!!

[Chris]

I'll have a look but I've spent too much on games recently so I'll have to try and resist. :P

[RyRy]

Looking at Ace of Spades & Sonic Adventure: Battle but otherwise no games I'm desperate to get right now. I'm sure that'll change when the sales come out, and payday goes in :D!

[Stephen]

IMA GO SPENDING CWAAAZY

[Sho]

I just know that I won't have any money left after this

[Chippiewill]

I've been saving a lot of money for the Christmas sale from my birthday so I'm planning to splash out a fair bit. Also all the free games from doing the challenges :D

[CrazyLemurs]

Might spend some Xmas money on some games that are in it, but I find I've kinda exhausted all I can of Steam: there's nothing left that I want. I'm pretty specific with what I play though so maybe Steam isn't really the best place for me to look. All of the current MMOs are either ignored, tried or ones that I play now xD

[dbgtz]

Ace of Spades isn't really as good as it was, it's become a bit silly and it just doesn't have that same sort of feeling :P

[RyRy]

Ah bugger, well I may give it a go anyway just to see whether it's had any feel whatsoever to the original.

[mrwoooooooo]

good deal here

As much as it's a good deal, Steam frown upon people buying steam keys from sites (which is basically what that is), and I've heard of people getting their accounts banned because of it.

i reckon thats bull :P

Search Steam CD keys, check the Steam Forums. You're a bit silly if you think an external site can sell them at that price in a legitimate manner.

Sites like that buy in bulk on deals day, then sell them off with a higher markup, though not as high as the regular price. Its a clever idea but Steam really don't like it. That also goes for people activating Eastern European steam keys from retail, because the games are so cheap there and yet still nobody can really afford them.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/224540/

Say hello to the creative shooter. Ace of Spades is the first-person shooter that lets you create your battleground, destroy it, then create it again. Up to 32 players choose from 4 unique classes and jump into team-based, multiplayer mayhem across an endlessly evolving battlefield, to construct, destruct and take out the opposition.



I guess so? :P

It is the funniest and best multiplayer game I've played for a long time, that and Planetside 2 are my multiplayer fix right now. Seriously you won't regret it, it's such an underrated game.

[Neil]

As much as it's a good deal, Steam frown upon people buying steam keys from sites (which is basically what that is), and I've heard of people getting their accounts banned because of it.

You'll only get trouble from Valve if the key your purchased is from an illegal seller, often these are sites that selling Russian keys at massive discounts, sites like GetGamesGo, who run GetLoadedGo, are legit sellers, there is no problem buying from them, I have got quite a lot from them in the past.

In regards to the sale, I don't get paid until next week so I have to wait until then before I can start getting anything, my friend picked me up a copy of Krater and I've been enjoying that.

[Stephen]

yay 50% off worms revolution

had just enough money for that and now I'm done

think I'll avoid putting any christmas money into my bank until the sale is over so I don't spend it

[scottish]

only spent like £60 now :P

[Chippiewill]

Bought lego lord of the rings and a xbox pc controller on amazon (Lego pc controls are terrible). I also picked up FTL because I felt bad pirating it.

[Stephen]

yeah i used to play with a few people GoldenMerc; laura; Richie; Calvin; Nemo; ) but we stopped playing and moved on to other games and truck sim etc lol

i prefer online stuff to playing missions on single player :P

get bored of single player fast where as online is always fun.
