Signups for the event are now open as explained in the new Bell Tree World Championship 2024 thread!
Steam Winter Sale 2014
- Thread starter KarlaKGB
- Start date
Since the Steam Sale is almost over, time to show off the haul:
This War of Mine
First impressions: confusing, but intriguing. Got raided on the second night so currently trying to get back from that.
How to Survive
First impressions: Cheap as crap and mashing zombies in the head is a blast. Played the second mission (getting fuel) with a friend and it's definitely a good challenge.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
First impressions: Really, really clunky controls. Hard to get use too, but somehow I can get a pretty even K-D ratio. Somewhat fun though, especially if you love trolling. (the Teamkills....)
Super Meat Boy
First impressions: Reminds me a lot of Speedrunners, which for me is somewhat entertaining. Finished a few levels but I've heard that it gets a lot harder than that. I already have trouble jumping up a wall, so welp.
The Long Dark & Mount and Blade: Warband
First impressions: Didn't install it yet. They look like pretty awesome games though and were in my wishlist a since the thanksgiving sale.
Overall: The sale was pretty impressive for someone who just started buying Steam games ^^ Missed out on some cool games like Trails in the Sky, Necrodancer, Shovel Knight, and The Banner Saga, but I'll get hours of entertainment with these six great games.
my rating: 8/10
ign rating: 12/10

My total (lack of) damage this year:
Age of Empires Complete - ?5.20 (From GMG)
Dead Bits x2 (?0.11 each, with Steam wallet credit)
Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 (Bought with GMG credit for ?3.74)
Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!? (1327 gems - ?0.90 roughly)
Melody's Escape (?5.24 bought with Steam wallet credit again)
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons (?1.09 bought with Steam wallet credit)
Anno 1404 (?1.99 bought with Steam wallet credit)
Defy Gravity Extended (?0.14 with Steam wallet credit)
Bad Rats (Bought as a joke gift for the future - ?0.20 Steam credit)
Gearcrack Arena x2 (?0.07 each, sold the cards which meant I only really paid ?0.01 for my first copy)
Total: ?18.86, yet only actually spent ?5.20 "real money". I'd call that a pretty good result. I've barely tried any of them yet though, been too engrossed with Civ V and Omega Ruby.
