I'll post the few news of today (it's holidays, after all) in a moment, but first:

Today is 28th, we're halfway through the Steam Sales and I have to say that for the first time ever, I feel that these sales are lasting too much. With the other ones there was always that bit of excitement over what new games would go on a flash or daily sale, but with that gone the Sales are becoming a bit boring... and tiresome. I've lost count of how many times I've looked at the same games arguing with myself over buying it or not.

Don't worry, Tomb Raider is no longer one of those games. I bought it.

And I already have 10 of the 11 cards! (If some of you have a spare nº 11 let me know, I can trade it for the nº 1, 4 or 9).

 

In summary, for me these are the less exciting and most boring Steam Sales ever.

Even though I'm out of cash according to my bank and have yet to put inb the cash my folks gave me for Xmas tomorrow, I felt that the Steam sales this year were rpetty lacklusture. They didn't give me that "ooh I gotta grab that game, it;s just too cheap to pass up" kind of feeling, instead I just bought what people wanted on their wishlists till I ran dry of money and got a few games for myself but games that remained at least from £15-20 were still a no sale from me (with Fallout 4 being the exception because GMG was giving it out at £26 which was a steal compared to Steam).

Honestly with the lack of flash and daily sales I think Steam sales will just be average type sales, GMG gave me a good sale on Fallout 4 a AAA game that only came out during Nov for £26 down from the usual £40 and Steam was selling it for a mid 30's price, to me that tells me a lot of what I need to know for future Steam sales, this year it was mostly games that were at elast 2-10 years old that were placed at the perfect price for must grabs along with new indie games as well. I do hope that Valve takes notice of this years sales results and fan opinions to realize that flash and daily sales are a good thing to have.

This year was definitely the most boring winter sale for me in a long time.





Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
