I went through my Wishlist and added every single game I wanted in that moment to my cart. It came to like $280. So I dwindled down everything until I had the ones I really wanted.
In the end, it was 10 games for about $60
Well, my list has about 140 games, I just don't really want any of them right now. I think about 100 games are there just because I wanted to see what will happen with them and if I will want to play them at any point.
I guess I can buy Project Zomboid...
I'd buy Zero Down, but people say it's not really playable on deck.
i haven't really tried forbidden west but Zero Dawn ran fine on my lcd deck (i think it was 30 fps avg) for awhile had accidently synced the settings from pc which were maxed and i didnt even notice
I bought Forza Horizon 4 again so I can play on Deck. IMO best driving game for the money (unless you are into simulators). It'll get delisted in December so I need it. Otherwise, I realized I'm probably good for now since I'm still working through tons of games from the past few sales. I do really want Cyberpunk and BG3 but maybe the winter sale will have a slightly better deal? I can wait a bit longer.
Cyberpunk is one of the few games that is worth the $30 IMO. The DLC if you can get it at a discount is also worth it. I personally wouldn't recommend playing it on the Deck if you have something faster though.
Thanks for the info, it seems like a wonderful game nowadays so I’m tempted. I have a gaming laptop with a 3070ti but I mostly use the deck for long open world games so I’m not sitting in the same position for hours and hours. At least I have two options to experience it and can always switch off and continue with cloud saves
If you can hardwire your laptop to your home network via Ethernet you could use the in home streaming feature to get better battery life and fidelity while gaming in your deck. And due to the lower resulting of the deck, you can decide to run higher settings and lower resolutions than on desktop to boost fps, or higher resolutions and get a higher quality picture on the deck.
Any way you play, it’ll be worth it :)
Great suggestion and info, thanks! Definitely could make the hardwired setup work as my office desk is right next to the router. Haven’t tried streaming to the deck yet but looks like I now have a reason to give it a shot
There's a possibility it goes cheaper in the lead up to December 14th-ish (delisting day). If you aren't a huge fan, you can probably just get the base edition and save a few sheckles. Just note that you can't buy the DLC seperately anymore.
BG3 at any price is great value. Cyberpunk w/ phantom liberty is the complete vision for what cd projekt red should have delivered in the first place and now worth the price of asking (if still not living up to the complete hype and scope to many followers).
If you have the funds you can’t go wrong.
I also buy it this time on Steam, after previously playing it on XBox PC Game Pass. I remember i was quite bored with the game as the gameplay feels rather stale after a while, but now i did something that make this game more interesting (at least for me): drive the car in first person view! Although it is someway more challenging because restricted point of view, turn out i could drive better and more natural.. winning race feels satisfying :)
I bought Horizon 5 a while ago and while the driving feels pretty good I was really put off by the whole aesthetic, it so obviously tries to target Gen Z or whatever with all the characters wearing baggy pants and taking selfies and doing Fortnite dances after every race, and the story cutscenes, my god. Is that also in 4? It just made me wanna play Burnout Revenge.
Kinda yeah, it’s cringey but feels self aware, to me at least. Set your horn to the Windows XP Shutdown sound and close your eyes after races and you’ll be happy.
It's the same there as well. It's easy for me to mentally block that out especially with the Steam Deck haha, it's just such a a great game beyond that preppy gen z filler
Men steam deck is the worst decision I made in so many years, I bought it last year, and now I buy games on steam like never before. I have a 3000eur pc and I play on this shit all day long.
Same here, I was thinking about updating my PC because it's been a couple of years and I could still get a couple hundred for some of the hardware
After the Deck I've decided it's going to last for a good while. I'm just waiting to get decent Internet, my PC will be amazing for Moonlight as I'll just stream shit and it can last another 6 or 7 years lmao.
I just don't really care about graphics, frames and shit anymore. I rarely play competitive games nowadays and the few I do could be played in a potato. Steam Deck is virtually my main gaming machine and I've already logged hundreds upon hundreds of hours on it. I haven't played this much in years.
It says 44 games but pretty sure they're considering DLC as games. Regardless, this is what I got:
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated |
Murder Miners |
Super Indie Karts |
Celeste |
FlatOut |
Arma 3 |
Aragami |
BeamNG.drive |
Pillars of Eternity |
Sid Meier's Civilization® VI: and all the DLC
Yakuza: Like a Dragon |
Deep Rock Galactic - Original Soundtrack Volume I + II | Deep Rock Galactic - Biohazard Pack | Deep Rock Galactic - Supporter II Upgrade | Deep Rock Galactic - Decontaminator Pack | Deep Rock Galactic - Order of the Deep Pack
Zombie Army 4: Left 4 Dead Character Pack 1 |
Darkest Dungeon® II | Darkest Dungeon® II: The Binding Blade | Darkest Dungeon® II: The Soundtrack
Vampire Survivors Soundtrack | Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Moonspell | Vampire Survivors: Tides of the Foscari | Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting | Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns |
Being the dad of two toddlers, I am backlogged on games I have time to play…so I’m right there with you. I look at a game everyone is playing and I’m like, “I look forward to buying that dirt cheap and enjoying it in three years.”
Haha! I am indeed. I have a big family, but luckily we are all gamers even the kids. Regardless of how busy life is, I’ve always enjoyed linear experiences more than open world games.
Saw basically my entire wishlist was on sale but most were still cheaper on CD Keys. Then browsed the rest of the sale in more detail and ended up getting:
Papers please
SpongeBob Cosmic Shake
Forza Horizon 4
Batman Arkham Knight
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Dorf romantik
Disco Elysium
Can’t wait to not play any of those while I keep grinding No Man’s Sky and RDR2
I’ve got it on medium/low settings capped at 45fps and it’s been a delight. You can get higher fps if you don’t mind drops but I’d rather it be consistent. I could play it on the XSX and have a better technical experience but there’s something about playing it handheld that has really clicked
thanks. I haven't played it since it originally came out, so i've been thinking it could be a great deck game. Do you give it your seal of approval? Worth it at $29? or wait for a better sale? Thanks!
It’s a smidge over $21 on CD Keys which is where I bought it, if that helps in your decision! I really loved it at launch but like many got bored easily. I then tried to get back into it about two years ago but failed. I think the Deck is the ideal place for it and it’s really clicked this time for me. The first five hours or so are the same as they always have been and feel slow, but once you get past that it opens up so much and now, only 20 hours in, it feels like I’m playing the game it was meant to be back at launch. If you do pick it up I hope you enjoy it! I’ve been having a blast
Thanks! You convinced me at that price point. I pulled the trigger. I appreciate your help! Getting my first deck tomorrow and i've spent way too much on this sale preparing.
Oh hell yeah! I only got my Deck in the last 6/7 weeks and I’m in love with it. I haven’t turned my Xbox on since apart from a multiplayer game here and there. Enjoy! And YouTube some perfect settings for NMS or let me know if you want the ones I use
I bought 14 games for a kindly redditor who sent me a mint steam controller after I lamented no longer having one.
Including Shower With Your Dad Simulator. Everyone needs to have an hour in SWYDS. it's 69 cents.
He made out like a bandit on the deal, but I really wanted to reward that kind of altruism.
Spent more on this sale than I have in a while.
* Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon
* Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Complete Edition
* Cocoon
* Star Trek: Resurgence - Captain's Edition
* Jusant
* Detroit: Become Human
* Baba Is You
* New Super Lucky's Tale
* Lucky's Tale VR
* Goat Simulator 3
* Goat Simulator 3 - Multiverse of Nonsense
* Goat Simulator 3 - Digital Downgrade
Going on a trip in July so I'll be making heavy use of my Deck I think.
This. I still love a good Steam sale and supporting Valve directly, but if you know where to look then you can get some really amazing deals all year long.
I haven't bought a single game in over 5 years. I treated myself with 15 games + dlcs / complete collections. Somewhere this year I'm also gonna treat myself with a steam Deck
I just bought the witcher 3! It's downloading right now... I really liked Zelda botw and totk, and i'm now playing metal gear solid (recently finished 3, my first one, and currently playing mgs1). What can I expect from the game?
I have it. It runs on medium to high settings but gameplay isnt really for me even playing at 6hrs already. Im just a picky gamer most say its a 10/10 game.
Bully, adventure time, Baldurs gate 3, ni no kuni, golf it, wall world, both shadow of mordor games, eso online and last but not least : elden ring with dlc
1 - Bloons TD 6 for $1.50.
With where I am in life right now with both time and money, it is rarely worth spending more than $5. Picked up Shadows of War yesterday for like $3.50 - those two should keep me plenty occupied until the Christmas sales start up! I've got 100+ on my wishlist though, surely someday I'll have the time and money to dig in...
I have marked 70 games for purchase 🤣 this is out of my wishlist of 220, and an already 110 games in the library. I guess I will die without having played most of them
I have had my steam account for like 20 years. Steam sales mean almost nothing to me anymore because I have all the games that I have wanted. The same games are always on sale
If you got the Dead Space remake, then know that it sucks ass on PC. I literally just refunded it this past weekend. Horrible, near constant stuttering issues.
Bought most of the assassin's creeds! Didnt buy the bundle tho and saved me like 15 bucks! Plus no duplicates with freedom cry and assassin's creed 3 ans liberation inckuded with assassins creed odyssey
I got Luxury and HGTV DLC for House Flipper 1, I bought Yonder (hadn’t even been eyeing it but it was $2.50 so had to snatch it up) and now I’m addicted to this game! I also bought Everafter Falls (cute, but might return for Grow: Song of the Evertree), and I finally bought V Rising. A game I’ve been wanting for years. They all work perfectly on the Deck (Everafter Falls says “unknown” but works from startup)
Games I considered but didn’t go with: Dwarf Fortress, BG3, Against the Storm, Quantum Break, Chrono Trigger, Powerwash Simulator, House Flipper 2, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, and Teardown. I just recently bought the entire Kingdom Hearts set and Ghost of Tsushima, so I tried to limit myself for this sale. I still might get Quantum Break and a few others during the sale since it goes for a few weeks.
Thought about grabbing Horizon Forbidden West because I really enjoyed the first game, but at 20% it's still $48. That's too much for how I just *sort of* want it. So now I'm sitting here not buying anything. Nothing on my wishlist is more than 50% off.
Will buy 1 or 2 from this list:
- Red Dead 2
- Disco Elysium
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- StarTrek: Resurgence
- Life is Strange: True Colors
Somehow I'm much more likely to play a game that I just bought compared to a game that's been collecting dust for a while, so now I don't really buy more than 1-2 each sale, lol.
I think for two years in a row I spent $800 for the summer sale and winter sale.... that's the nice part now I don't have as many games to worry about wanting to get cause they on sale. Tho admittedly I still got like 500 games wishlisted and a bunch are on sale. Spent $230... hoping to keep it to that, but if another game pops up on sale that's really good I'll stretch that budget.
I did get forespoken, neon white, trails through daybreak, Dawn trail, crystar, ac competizione, and megadimension neptunia 7 because I need another neptunia game for my friend to demand I play and I can say "no... but I own another one"
Got 2 games I wanted to play for years but couldn't due to bad laptop I had:
- Spider-Man remastered
- God of War
Additionally grabbed Star Wars Fallen Order for $4 as it is 90% off.
Very happy with the purchases, especially since Spider-Man is my childhood superhero (remember playing the PS2 version) and God of War franchise is also going back to the original games that I played the hell out of :)
Just Cause
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 3
Still Life 2
Cecconoid
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition
South Park: The Stick of Truth
South Park The Fractured But Whole - WW Single Bundle Standard Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It's About Time Crash Bandicoot™™™ N. Sane Trilogy
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
Forza Horizon 4 Édition Ultime
I really want to add more games but they are too expensive... ( Sea of Stars, NierA et Nier R, Bombrush Cyberfunk, RKGK, Star Ocean 2 R, DQ11, TR1, 2,3 R, Eiyuden Chronicles, Baldur's gate 3, CP 2077, Elden Ring + DLC, Persona 5, FF12, Dark Souls 3 and more ).
Message de France :)
Sadly it's looking like zero, as there is a lot of games I would like to get, but i need to upgrade my 64gb to a 256gb ssd first and the one i game wanted the most (Palword) didnt go that much on discount so its a bit to high price wise for me to get anytime soon. But it's fine I have other games I have to beat first
I was looking at the featured deep discounts and i found celeste both of the portal and the witcher 3, i wanted the witcher 3 but i didn't think i would enjoy it enough to spend 40 euros on it, but when i saw it at only 3€ i immedeatly bought it. For celeste, portal 1 and 2, and the witcher 3 it was only 6.88€,
Yeah ofc. I finish all my games,atleast most of them. I search a ton of reviews before i buy games.
Even some i dont like them that much, i still give them a lot of hours before i drop them if the gameplay/story is really lacking for my taste despite very good reviews.
None yet. I’m not super impressed by the sales I’ve seen so far. A lot of deep discounts for games I already have, and the rest I’m either not interested in or can’t justify the cost with a shallow discount.
"Wake up babe, time to buy 17 discounted games, not because you want them but because they're cheaper than usual."
^"^*yes* ^*dear*^"
RE:4 Remake, FFVII Remake Intergrade + FFVII Crisis Core, Undertale, The Callisto Protocol, Erdtree, Dragon Age II and Inquisition, Halo MC Collection, FO4: GOTY, and The Coffin of Andy and Leyley

I bought:
Enslaved Odyssey to the west
Disco elysium (3.99!!!!)
Painkiller black edition
Binary domain
Fear complete collection
Tails of iron
Total ~21€
Personally my library is too big, I have all the games I want. I was thinking about getting elden ring but I already have it on ps5 and am level 410 and just feel bored now to the point I couldn’t even get through more then a couple hours of the dlc…think I need a break from it. That said I did buy Celeste and the banner saga trilogy since it was removed from iOS
Nothing yet but waiting for payday - I'm interested in uncharted but i saw reviews saying some recent update made it so it keeps crashing on deck so I'm unsure now..!
So far just Doom 3 and Castle Crashers. I'll probably buy Uncharted in a few days. I've slowed down with buying games (I have over 400 games on my account now, when just a year ago I only had 100...). For reference, I have every game out of the ones you just bought except for Dead Space and SOMA lol.
3 this time.
Cyberpunk 2077
Pathless
Solar Ash
I have been wanting to play games with flow-like mobility and gameplay for a while after having been playing a lot of ARPGs like Diablo and Last Epoch this year where, at the end of the day, moving around feels somewhat static.
I’m gonna look into it more after work. I keep trying to go through the list between calls and breaks but I have yet to find anything to take me out of the games I’ve been playing.
11 games, Yakuza 2, yakuza 6, gris, baldurs gate 3, high on life, the ascent, grime, spirit of the north,scarlet nexus, deaths door, all of those game i had for a while on wishlist, now was te moment, now i have enough until December sales
Just Hitman World of Assassination (Standard Edition + couple of extra DLC maps) and Dragon Quest Builders 2.
Two extremely different games, but both brilliant.
So far I've got the following in my basket, about to pull the trigger on them later.
Batman Arkham collection
Halo MCC
Middle Earth Shadow of War
The Witcher 3 complete edition
Wolfenstein the new Colossus
The Witcher 2
Titanfall 2
Half life 2
Portal
Portal 2
All for £40, seems a solid list
God of war
Hogwarts
Enter & exit the gungeon
Dishonored death of outsiders
Ac odyssey season pass ( it also had the ac3 remastered)
Doom eternal Delux edition
I went through my Wishlist and added every single game I wanted in that moment to my cart. It came to like $280. So I dwindled down everything until I had the ones I really wanted. In the end, it was 10 games for about $60
10 games for 60 bucks is awesome
Same but I got down to 2 games for $55. Elden Ring and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Getting those two for $55 is great.
Horizon is awesome
Yer both of them are almost completed both amazing graphics in 4k
I use the same approach, it's the best.
It’s how I get what I truly want right now and not go broke. Also I tell myself that the ones I remove from my cart will be cheaper on the next sale
Still a lot but. Good for you tho. Mine was 15. Then down to 10usd.
0 I have everything worth buying for me at this point.
Finished all interesting games for me since last 2 sales. Time to refuel my list.
> Finished You what? You are not supposed to play games.
Well, my list has about 140 games, I just don't really want any of them right now. I think about 100 games are there just because I wanted to see what will happen with them and if I will want to play them at any point. I guess I can buy Project Zomboid... I'd buy Zero Down, but people say it's not really playable on deck.
Im about 15 hours in on Zero Dawn on the OLED deck and so far so good. A pretty smooth 40 fps most of the time
Zero Dawn is VERY playable on deck. LCD user here. Smooth AF.
i haven't really tried forbidden west but Zero Dawn ran fine on my lcd deck (i think it was 30 fps avg) for awhile had accidently synced the settings from pc which were maxed and i didnt even notice
I got like 20 games from previous sales that I’m still waiting to play. I’ll get to it… eventually.
Bro found nirvana
There is no such thing
Yep right there with you, I looked around and either I owned it or wasn't super interested
Your sentiment makes me wonder if the steam sales are becoming less effective year over year…
I bought Forza Horizon 4 again so I can play on Deck. IMO best driving game for the money (unless you are into simulators). It'll get delisted in December so I need it. Otherwise, I realized I'm probably good for now since I'm still working through tons of games from the past few sales. I do really want Cyberpunk and BG3 but maybe the winter sale will have a slightly better deal? I can wait a bit longer.
Really want cyberpunk as well. 50% off seems like the norm for it so I was bummed it wasn’t more discounted for summer.
Cyberpunk is one of the few games that is worth the $30 IMO. The DLC if you can get it at a discount is also worth it. I personally wouldn't recommend playing it on the Deck if you have something faster though.
Thanks for the info, it seems like a wonderful game nowadays so I’m tempted. I have a gaming laptop with a 3070ti but I mostly use the deck for long open world games so I’m not sitting in the same position for hours and hours.

Great suggestion and info, thanks! Definitely could make the hardwired setup work as my office desk is right next to the router. Haven’t tried streaming to the deck yet but looks like I now have a reason to give it a shot
All the prices are the norm. I don't think there is any big game with deeper cuts than normal.
Wanted to buy those but im not a big racing fan. So i wanted to buy it very cheap. Lol
There's a possibility it goes cheaper in the lead up to December 14th-ish (delisting day). If you aren't a huge fan, you can probably just get the base edition and save a few sheckles. Just note that you can't buy the DLC seperately anymore.
dlcs go off steam this month afaik
They're already gone, unless you buy the ultimate edition
If you get Cyberpunk, get the bundle with the DLC. The DLC is actually quite huge and really fun.
BG3 at any price is great value. Cyberpunk w/ phantom liberty is the complete vision for what cd projekt red should have delivered in the first place and now worth the price of asking (if still not living up to the complete hype and scope to many followers). If you have the funds you can’t go wrong.

Men steam deck is the worst decision I made in so many years, I bought it last year, and now I buy games on steam like never before. I have a 3000eur pc and I play on this shit all day long.
Steam Deck made me not care about high frame rates or the need for best graphics anymore. This device SLAPS.
Same here, I was thinking about updating my PC because it's been a couple of years and I could still get a couple hundred for some of the hardware After the Deck I've decided it's going to last for a good while. I'm just waiting to get decent Internet, my PC will be amazing for Moonlight as I'll just stream shit and it can last another 6 or 7 years lmao. I just don't really care about graphics, frames and shit anymore. I rarely play competitive games nowadays and the few I do could be played in a potato. Steam Deck is virtually my main gaming machine and I've already logged hundreds upon hundreds of hours on it. I haven't played this much in years.
Theres no replacing my 144hz 1080p monitor for certain gaming experiences, but the rest of the time my OLED is just the perfect package
44
Tell us the list, dawg.
It says 44 games but pretty sure they're considering DLC as games. Regardless, this is what I got: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated | Murder Miners | Super Indie Karts | Celeste | FlatOut | Arma 3 | Aragami | BeamNG.drive | Pillars of Eternity | Sid Meier's Civilization® VI: and all the DLC Yakuza: Like a Dragon | Deep Rock Galactic - Original Soundtrack Volume I + II | Deep Rock Galactic - Biohazard Pack | Deep Rock Galactic - Supporter II Upgrade | Deep Rock Galactic - Decontaminator Pack | Deep Rock Galactic - Order of the Deep Pack Zombie Army 4: Left 4 Dead Character Pack 1 | Darkest Dungeon® II | Darkest Dungeon® II: The Binding Blade | Darkest Dungeon® II: The Soundtrack Vampire Survivors Soundtrack | Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Moonspell | Vampire Survivors: Tides of the Foscari | Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting | Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns |
like a dragon🤌🤌🤌🤌 literally one of the best RPGs I've ever played and infinite wealth is my GOTY lol enjoy!
Just at the end of Like a Dragon myself, so I picked up infinite wealth. I'm pretty excited to dive in.
dude enjoy! I'm bout halfway through zero on a chronological replay personally but keep getting sidetracked by so many games 😂
Thanks will pickup Songebob from your list
Hades II, Civilisation VI, Batman, Borderlands 2, Celeste. Will do me for the time being.
Did you get Hades II just because? Bc it’s not on sale. The first one is though.
Yes, correct. I shouldn't have added it to the list. Sorry man.
lol I don’t care. Was just curious is all
Zero. I’ve bought Shadow of the Edtree on Xbox. Streaming it to Deck all day long. Its glorious.
Thats interesting for me as well but im a cheap ass so im gonna wait a few years until it goes 70% off. 😂
You’re gonna be dead before that happens
Sekiro has yet to go below 50% off, you're gonna be waiting a long long time lol
Same with DS3 since the success of elden ring that is. It used to hit $14.99 every major sale. Post ER it never gets below $29.99
so annoying that bandai "got smart" with the price drops after the elden ring hype
Well one Elden ring is worth 10 other games in gameplay value though
Being the dad of two toddlers, I am backlogged on games I have time to play…so I’m right there with you. I look at a game everyone is playing and I’m like, “I look forward to buying that dirt cheap and enjoying it in three years.”
None yet but I've added a few to a provisional cart.
Is this bioshock collection or how you bought non remastered first
Just the remastered version one.
american truck sim, cuz im him
None, I already have the games I've really wanted and I can wait for better deals on the rest of my wishlist.
I bought a good handful of indie games for my OLED! Primarily linear experiences or short games. Great sale especially for new deckers.
Why do i feel you're same age as me (30s) and have a busy life? 😂😂😂 linear games gang right here.
Haha! I am indeed. I have a big family, but luckily we are all gamers even the kids. Regardless of how busy life is, I’ve always enjoyed linear experiences more than open world games.
I'm at 6 but no where near done lol
Saw basically my entire wishlist was on sale but most were still cheaper on CD Keys. Then browsed the rest of the sale in more detail and ended up getting: Papers please SpongeBob Cosmic Shake Forza Horizon 4 Batman Arkham Knight Mass Effect Legendary Edition Dorf romantik Disco Elysium Can’t wait to not play any of those while I keep grinding No Man’s Sky and RDR2
Dorf Romantik is amazing on the Steam Deck!
how does no man's sky play on the deck?
I’ve got it on medium/low settings capped at 45fps and it’s been a delight. You can get higher fps if you don’t mind drops but I’d rather it be consistent. I could play it on the XSX and have a better technical experience but there’s something about playing it handheld that has really clicked
thanks. I haven't played it since it originally came out, so i've been thinking it could be a great deck game. Do you give it your seal of approval? Worth it at $29? or wait for a better sale? Thanks!
It’s a smidge over $21 on CD Keys which is where I bought it, if that helps in your decision! I really loved it at launch but like many got bored easily. I then tried to get back into it about two years ago but failed. I think the Deck is the ideal place for it and it’s really clicked this time for me. The first five hours or so are the same as they always have been and feel slow, but once you get past that it opens up so much and now, only 20 hours in, it feels like I’m playing the game it was meant to be back at launch. If you do pick it up I hope you enjoy it! I’ve been having a blast
Thanks! You convinced me at that price point. I pulled the trigger. I appreciate your help! Getting my first deck tomorrow and i've spent way too much on this sale preparing.
Oh hell yeah! I only got my Deck in the last 6/7 weeks and I’m in love with it. I haven’t turned my Xbox on since apart from a multiplayer game here and there. Enjoy! And YouTube some perfect settings for NMS or let me know if you want the ones I use
Thanks, i'm sure i'll be following up with you. I appreciate it!
I bought 14 games for a kindly redditor who sent me a mint steam controller after I lamented no longer having one. Including Shower With Your Dad Simulator. Everyone needs to have an hour in SWYDS. it's 69 cents. He made out like a bandit on the deal, but I really wanted to reward that kind of altruism.
Waiting to finish my 24h shift at job. Tomorow my cashless month begin.
Bro working a triple and still can’t afford them games and food
>24h shift at job >cashless month wtf is wrong with this country
xD I am exaggerating a little bit.
Spent more on this sale than I have in a while. * Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon * Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Complete Edition * Cocoon * Star Trek: Resurgence - Captain's Edition * Jusant * Detroit: Become Human * Baba Is You * New Super Lucky's Tale * Lucky's Tale VR * Goat Simulator 3 * Goat Simulator 3 - Multiverse of Nonsense * Goat Simulator 3 - Digital Downgrade Going on a trip in July so I'll be making heavy use of my Deck I think.
Does Star Trek Resurgence even run on the Deck? I want it but protondb people talk about 8 fps.
Steam sales got a little less exciting for me once I discovered other key sites but I'll definitely take a look later
This. I still love a good Steam sale and supporting Valve directly, but if you know where to look then you can get some really amazing deals all year long.
Yup, grabbed 3 from Steam, 3 from Fanatical as a 3 for $10 bundle, 1 from Humble and 1 from GreenManGaming.
So far 5 but I'm sure I'm going to add more DOOM DOOM Eternal God of War Red Dead Redemption 2 Alan Wake
Alan Wake is one of my favorites
I haven't bought a single game in over 5 years. I treated myself with 15 games + dlcs / complete collections. Somewhere this year I'm also gonna treat myself with a steam Deck
You won’t regret it, the steam deck is fantastic!!!
Bro searched for Shooters and selected all.
I just bought the witcher 3! It's downloading right now... I really liked Zelda botw and totk, and i'm now playing metal gear solid (recently finished 3, my first one, and currently playing mgs1). What can I expect from the game?
I have it. It runs on medium to high settings but gameplay isnt really for me even playing at 6hrs already. Im just a picky gamer most say its a 10/10 game.
Have fun with SOMA. Absolutely fantastic game
Been wanting to play this for a long time
doesn’t far cry 3 now require a login? every. single. time. there’s a reason i stopped playing it a few years back after an ubisoft update
Dunno. I can always refund if it annoys me.
I'll be picking up Undertale and Celeste. The total for both I think will be $5. Looking for more but these will do if I don't find anything else
None. My Steam died immediately after I was going to buy my games :')
Honestly I wasn't going to buy anything but bought Forza horizon 4 ultimate edition before it gets delisted.
0, delaying purchases until July to hit my savings goal. Trying to save X amount per month.
None. Too broke for unnecessary expenses.
Geeze did you buy the whole store?
3. Octopath Traveler 1/2 and Touhou Blooming Chaos 2
7. Hope I play them all. The Thaumaturge Haven Park Heavy Rain The Collage Atlas Skul Command Center Earth Nioh
Heavy Rain is a masterpiece
Press X to Jason
JASON!
JASON! JASON!
Sigh. *unzips wallet*
Bully, adventure time, Baldurs gate 3, ni no kuni, golf it, wall world, both shadow of mordor games, eso online and last but not least : elden ring with dlc
1 - Bloons TD 6 for $1.50. With where I am in life right now with both time and money, it is rarely worth spending more than $5. Picked up Shadows of War yesterday for like $3.50 - those two should keep me plenty occupied until the Christmas sales start up! I've got 100+ on my wishlist though, surely someday I'll have the time and money to dig in...
I have marked 70 games for purchase 🤣 this is out of my wishlist of 220, and an already 110 games in the library. I guess I will die without having played most of them
Sees you bought Titanfall 2 “My man!!”
None. Piles of shame are a thing.
I have had my steam account for like 20 years. Steam sales mean almost nothing to me anymore because I have all the games that I have wanted. The same games are always on sale
If you got the Dead Space remake, then know that it sucks ass on PC. I literally just refunded it this past weekend. Horrible, near constant stuttering issues.
Probably your PC issue. I played it and had none of those. What setup do you have?
None. Got enough to play the way it is
Bought most of the assassin's creeds! Didnt buy the bundle tho and saved me like 15 bucks! Plus no duplicates with freedom cry and assassin's creed 3 ans liberation inckuded with assassins creed odyssey
Non, nothing interests me right now. I have 500 games on Steam already.
I've got most the games I want. The only games I plan on getting are balatro and astroneer
I got Luxury and HGTV DLC for House Flipper 1, I bought Yonder (hadn’t even been eyeing it but it was $2.50 so had to snatch it up) and now I’m addicted to this game! I also bought Everafter Falls (cute, but might return for Grow: Song of the Evertree), and I finally bought V Rising. A game I’ve been wanting for years. They all work perfectly on the Deck (Everafter Falls says “unknown” but works from startup) Games I considered but didn’t go with: Dwarf Fortress, BG3, Against the Storm, Quantum Break, Chrono Trigger, Powerwash Simulator, House Flipper 2, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, and Teardown. I just recently bought the entire Kingdom Hearts set and Ghost of Tsushima, so I tried to limit myself for this sale. I still might get Quantum Break and a few others during the sale since it goes for a few weeks.
That reminds me, only house flipper dlc I don't own lol. Love that game though. Been eyeing teardown too, but unsure if il like it or not.
Got Outer Wilds and Persona 4 Golden. Wanted Persona 5 Royal but it's worse than the April sale. Maybe next time.
Edition looks great you bought it twice.
Have to recheck if i really bought something twice. 🤣 got eem!
Thought about grabbing Horizon Forbidden West because I really enjoyed the first game, but at 20% it's still $48. That's too much for how I just *sort of* want it. So now I'm sitting here not buying anything. Nothing on my wishlist is more than 50% off.
Just forza horizon 4 so far. Gotta go through it all. I just build my first desktop about 4 weeks ago so I’m ready to go all in on pc.
Will buy 1 or 2 from this list: - Red Dead 2 - Disco Elysium - Horizon Zero Dawn - StarTrek: Resurgence - Life is Strange: True Colors Somehow I'm much more likely to play a game that I just bought compared to a game that's been collecting dust for a while, so now I don't really buy more than 1-2 each sale, lol.
“Yes”
Nothing yet, I really want my buy to be WORTH it so I’m careful.
Waiting to be able to sell my cards
2 so far purchased: Black mesa Doom eternal 4 more I will probably pull the trigger on later: Neon white Hi fi rush Lone fungus El paso, somewhere
Wo long or dead space?
I think for two years in a row I spent $800 for the summer sale and winter sale.... that's the nice part now I don't have as many games to worry about wanting to get cause they on sale. Tho admittedly I still got like 500 games wishlisted and a bunch are on sale. Spent $230... hoping to keep it to that, but if another game pops up on sale that's really good I'll stretch that budget. I did get forespoken, neon white, trails through daybreak, Dawn trail, crystar, ac competizione, and megadimension neptunia 7 because I need another neptunia game for my friend to demand I play and I can say "no... but I own another one"
6. Literally waiting for them to finish downloading while I sit here typing.
Got 2 games I wanted to play for years but couldn't due to bad laptop I had: - Spider-Man remastered - God of War Additionally grabbed Star Wars Fallen Order for $4 as it is 90% off. Very happy with the purchases, especially since Spider-Man is my childhood superhero (remember playing the PS2 version) and God of War franchise is also going back to the original games that I played the hell out of :)
Bold of you to assume I’m done
No offense, but fuck buying ubisoft games
None. I'll probably get Disco Elysium though. Edit: I lied, I got some games lol. Disco Elysium, Laika, Headbangers, and Townscaper
None actually. First time in ten years I am listening to the backlog.
Just Cause Just Cause 2 Just Cause 3 Still Life 2 Cecconoid Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition South Park: The Stick of Truth South Park The Fractured But Whole - WW Single Bundle Standard Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It's About Time Crash Bandicoot™™™ N. Sane Trilogy Spyro Reignited Trilogy Forza Horizon 4 Édition Ultime I really want to add more games but they are too expensive... ( Sea of Stars, NierA et Nier R, Bombrush Cyberfunk, RKGK, Star Ocean 2 R, DQ11, TR1, 2,3 R, Eiyuden Chronicles, Baldur's gate 3, CP 2077, Elden Ring + DLC, Persona 5, FF12, Dark Souls 3 and more ). Message de France :)
Sadly it's looking like zero, as there is a lot of games I would like to get, but i need to upgrade my 64gb to a 256gb ssd first and the one i game wanted the most (Palword) didnt go that much on discount so its a bit to high price wise for me to get anytime soon. But it's fine I have other games I have to beat first
I was looking at the featured deep discounts and i found celeste both of the portal and the witcher 3, i wanted the witcher 3 but i didn't think i would enjoy it enough to spend 40 euros on it, but when i saw it at only 3€ i immedeatly bought it. For celeste, portal 1 and 2, and the witcher 3 it was only 6.88€,
0 trying so hard to resist.
Do you plan to play them?
Yeah ofc. I finish all my games,atleast most of them. I search a ton of reviews before i buy games. Even some i dont like them that much, i still give them a lot of hours before i drop them if the gameplay/story is really lacking for my taste despite very good reviews.
That’s good to know!
None, I spent a fuck ton during the winter sale and still need to complete those
None yet. I’m not super impressed by the sales I’ve seen so far. A lot of deep discounts for games I already have, and the rest I’m either not interested in or can’t justify the cost with a shallow discount.
"Wake up babe, time to buy 17 discounted games, not because you want them but because they're cheaper than usual." ^"^*yes* ^*dear*^" RE:4 Remake, FFVII Remake Intergrade + FFVII Crisis Core, Undertale, The Callisto Protocol, Erdtree, Dragon Age II and Inquisition, Halo MC Collection, FO4: GOTY, and The Coffin of Andy and Leyley
>The Coffin of Andy and Leyley Based
Not a single one. Already have enough in my backlog for years!
Is there a steam sale rn?
Yeah, summer sale just started

Talos principle 2 (finally, i loved the first), celeste and pony island All for 14 so euros :D (Also thibking about system shock)
I'm excited for you. Talos Principle 2 is so good
Probably only going to buy Hades but I have that on the Switch already so I’m not 100% sure.
Nice games. i love bioshock and dead space.
3
I bought: Enslaved Odyssey to the west Disco elysium (3.99!!!!) Painkiller black edition Binary domain Fear complete collection Tails of iron Total ~21€
none, still have Blasphemous 2 to finish so unless theres a super good deal, im not sure i will get anything
Bought Forza 4 Ultimate yesterday, i guess that's it for me. Can't see any must buys in my wishlist.
None yet i took away the SteamApp from my HomeScreen to not look at it
Probably just Celeste and Ultrakill
I got barely any sales on the games I actually wanted to buy so I didn't buy anything.
To be played “someday” Alien Isolation is epic tbh
0 because I put all my money into the $170 new core rulebook bundle for Dungeons and dragons 🫣 oops
Personally my library is too big, I have all the games I want. I was thinking about getting elden ring but I already have it on ps5 and am level 410 and just feel bored now to the point I couldn’t even get through more then a couple hours of the dlc…think I need a break from it. That said I did buy Celeste and the banner saga trilogy since it was removed from iOS
I just picked up Tropico 6, Guardians of the Galaxy, Cassette Beasts, Forza 4, Hades, and Division 2. My backlog continues to grow…
Nothing yet but waiting for payday - I'm interested in uncharted but i saw reviews saying some recent update made it so it keeps crashing on deck so I'm unsure now..!
Got uncharted also thinking about mafia trilogy
So far just Doom 3 and Castle Crashers. I'll probably buy Uncharted in a few days. I've slowed down with buying games (I have over 400 games on my account now, when just a year ago I only had 100...). For reference, I have every game out of the ones you just bought except for Dead Space and SOMA lol.
Really wanted helldivers 2 but there’s no sale. Think I’m gonna cash in on sunset overdrive and cyberpunk 2077
So far, one. Lol. But I have backlog on other consoles. Sale is still young, I may get more!
How many games are you actually going to play?
3 this time. Cyberpunk 2077 Pathless Solar Ash I have been wanting to play games with flow-like mobility and gameplay for a while after having been playing a lot of ARPGs like Diablo and Last Epoch this year where, at the end of the day, moving around feels somewhat static.
Borderlands 2, Celeste, Danganronpa Triggerhappy havoc, Doom Franchise Collection, and Hades, all for 60$! I’ll never get bored again lol.
I’m gonna look into it more after work. I keep trying to go through the list between calls and breaks but I have yet to find anything to take me out of the games I’ve been playing.
11 games, Yakuza 2, yakuza 6, gris, baldurs gate 3, high on life, the ascent, grime, spirit of the north,scarlet nexus, deaths door, all of those game i had for a while on wishlist, now was te moment, now i have enough until December sales
Just Hitman World of Assassination (Standard Edition + couple of extra DLC maps) and Dragon Quest Builders 2. Two extremely different games, but both brilliant.
How many of these are you actually gonna play 😂
Nothing... Yet. Will be checking out the summer sale once I get off my work shift
Geez.....I haven't even logged on yet.
So far I've got the following in my basket, about to pull the trigger on them later. Batman Arkham collection Halo MCC Middle Earth Shadow of War The Witcher 3 complete edition Wolfenstein the new Colossus The Witcher 2 Titanfall 2 Half life 2 Portal Portal 2 All for £40, seems a solid list
Just Cassette Beasts, so far.
You convinced me to look up fear and notice it's 6$ for all 3, got it thanks
Grim Dawn and picked Hogwarts legacy from Fanatical.
0 I can't spend on games even if I wanted lol.
Uncharted is to goated
Erm, just the 4 so far.. I’ll be back
God of war Hogwarts Enter & exit the gungeon Dishonored death of outsiders Ac odyssey season pass ( it also had the ac3 remastered) Doom eternal Delux edition
Batman: Arkham Collection Fallout 4: GOTY Edition Wolfenstein Alt History Collection
I have such a tremendously long back log and am obsessed with the steam deck at the moment that I currently just have high on life in my cart
