Steam Winter Sale - TTLG Forums

Despite best intentions I've picked up a few games so far.

* Whistleblower DLC for Outcast
* Rake. Got it because it was cheap and thought that the concept sounded interesting.
* A Wolf Among Us

Yup. Though today they were under the "daily highlighted deals". Hence why I grabbed them and mentioned them here.

As has been explained earlier in the thread, daily highlighted deals aren't cheaper than they are on any other day of the sale.

They're all on special, everyday, until the sale ends on the 4th. :weird:

Well Ubisoft is marching to the beat of their own drum. Eg Zombi wasn't discounted until yesterday. Days prior it was full price.

They're retarded. FC4 was on sale during the Fall sale, but it's not on sale right now. Meanwhile, half of the AssCreeds aren't on sale, but AssCreed 3/Brotherhood/Revelations/Syndicate are.

Okay, I skimmed through the sales and this is a shortlist of my personal recommendations, make of it what you will.

(http://store.steampowered.com/app/345390) King's Quest - Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember -- 90% off
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/237930) Transistor -- 80% off
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/316790) Grim Fandango Remastered -- 80% off
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/247080) Crypt of the NecroDancer -- 67% off
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/257510/) The Talos Principle -- 75% off

^ That's a good list, and a good idea. I was eyeing up King's Quest earlier, too.

I had a look through and found some good games that I've played that also have a hefty discount.

Avernum: Escape From the Pit -- 80% off. Retro, no-bullshit, turn-based RPG.
Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star -- 85% off. If Total War was set on the eastern front, 1943. A bit specialist, has a bad interface, but solid gameplay. The price is stupidly good if you want to take a risk and dip into a slow, but tense, RTS.
Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal -- 67% off. A unique twist on tower-defence.
The Cat Lady -- 80% off. A bizarre and highly personal side-scrolling adventure game.
Door Kickers -- 80% off. Top-down Rainbow Six.
The Fall -- 80% off. Side-scrolling adventure. Clunky controls, but excellently delivered sci-fi plot.

At 99 cents it's a must buy if you like adventure games at all.

Yeah I've never seen the appeal of buying episodic games before they're finished.

Give us more money in the long-run to experience our game with intervals of months between chapters. What a bargain.

If you buy Chapter 1 of King's Quest and then later purchase the season pass, apparently you won't get the epilogue that way. That only comes with The Complete Collection.

This is not true, actually. It's only temporary: (https://twitter.com/TheOddGentlemen/status/679428778544656384)
