[QUOTE=AfroNick;46776292]Man the one time I have frivolous spending cash for these sales and, aside from Ground Zeroes at the beginning, nothing's really jumped out for me. One a side note, anyone have any recommendations for newer/ish racing games? Less sim, more arcade-y?[/QUOTE] Distance?
Got me 3DMark and tested it on my new pc. It has a gtx 970 and i get the bottleneck achievement :v:

[QUOTE=oakman26;46776264]How does this count as news?[/QUOTE] Facepunch is mainly a gaming forum and a huge sale on games like this is a pretty big deal here.
The community choice has been a pile of shit so far, I haven't seen a single interesting game on there since the sale started I'd rather see games I already own than have to pick the least terrible of 3 terrible rejects
Orion won the vote? What the fuck.

Yeah, the whole sale feels like "We forgot everything that made sales good, fuck it, do everything as lazy as possible".
how does Assetto Corsa compare to pcars and is endless space worth it while it has a 80% discount?
The sale still goes until Jan 2, that's still 10 fucking days. Afterwards you can complain about it. Until now there have been some good deals.
Bioshock Infinite goes on sale even more, but the season pass stays at its original sale price. That makes me sad.
[QUOTE=Antimuffin;46779136]The sale still goes until Jan 2, that's still 10 fucking days. Afterwards you can complain about it. Until now there have been some good deals.[/QUOTE] Has literally nothing to do with how shite this year's sale is.
[QUOTE=Zeos;46778906]Orion won the vote? What the fuck.[/QUOTE] I voted for Orion. Why? Because I hate people buying good games for cheap. Kidding, Orion shouldn't have even been on the vote pool. It's a 1$ game max, fucking stupid.
The cheapest thing tends to win the vote, regardless of what it is or the quality. People just like to pick cheap.
I voted for Orion because IL-2 doesn't seem worth $60, and sure as hell isn't worth $100 for an additional two planes that they sell for $10 each as standalone DLC.
Welp, Steam has said I can no longer send more gifts after only 4 - this makes me sad.
Someone on my friends list who I added after a CS game once, decided to randomly gift me Arma 3 today because it was on my wish list. I'm still in shock, what a nice guy
Wow, $10 for Burnout Paradise? It's nearly 7 years old.
No vote for Driver SF yet, absolutely terrible.
[QUOTE=Spectre1406;46783509]No vote for Driver SF yet, absolutely terrible.[/QUOTE] That it was.
[QUOTE=Yogkog;46783447]Wow, $10 for Burnout Paradise? It's nearly 7 years old.[/QUOTE] burnout paradise is £1.24 for me, are you not looking at the ea racing pack?
[QUOTE=darunner;46783537]That it was.[/QUOTE] Driver SF was a fucking masterpiece, one of the few driving games I can enjoy. Everything about it was so unique, original and well designed. Did you even play it? Because the game was just pure fun, it didn't set it self up to be gritty and realistic or have simulator level driving and that was a great strength.

The main character spends almost the entire game DEAD. It had interesting mechanics, but, having played Driver and Driver 2 on PS1, I didn't care for it.
[QUOTE=waylander;46783870]burnout paradise is £1.24 for me, are you not looking at the ea racing pack?[/QUOTE] Oh, it's $5 now, but was previously on the front page as $10. Strange
Far Cry 4 is back on the UK Steam Store!
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;46778413]The community choice has been a pile of shit so far, I haven't seen a single interesting game on there since the sale started I'd rather see games I already own than have to pick the least terrible of 3 terrible rejects[/QUOTE] On the bright side, at least you can get some cards off voting for them. Slowly but surely scrounging up some cash from those.
I don't know if this year's sale is just really mediocre, or it's because any good sales have been for things I've already owned.
I would be cool if they were holding out on all the really good sales until after christmas, i.e. when everyone comes on with gift cards and coupons
