The only reason I never buy anything on Steam sales anymore is that I know I still haven't played and finished all the stuff from previous Steam sales and that waiting will only make things cheaper down the line. Skyrim will be bought when it's $5
I have games that I bought two years ago that I haven't even played yet.
But, today bought a few more. I'd be crazy not to!
I'm hoping the Walking Dead game goes on sale. Yes, it is currently 25% off. But I want it cheaper!
As an aside, going through my Steam collection, I have Rome : Total War that I think I won in the Holiday Sale. I'm never going to play it, so if someone wants it, send me a PM.
Got Arma 2, Terraria, and the Tribes booster pack deal. Not sure if Arma 2 is still on sale but I strongly recommend getting it and downloading http://dayzmod.com/. By far my favorite zombie apocalypse simulator.
Can anyone give a recommendation for Fallout: New Vegas? I might grab the Ultimate Edition if it goes on for 75% off. edit. I haven't played any of the Fallout games. http://store.steampowered.com/app/2028016/
I had a good time playing Fallout: New Vegas. The biggest problem was initially there were a lot of bugs, but they mostly cleaned it up.
Really depends on the type of games you like. I like FPS myself, which NV most definitely isn't. There is a lot of RPGish elements: managing your inventory, customizing your character stats to suit your playstyle, running around and talking to people to solve quests. So for the action, it isn't really that intense. I often resorted to using V.A.T.S. (see video) to target and kill enemies, if only because the gore is pretty sweet:
It's a huge game. Apparently I spent 60 hours on just one playthrough. I pretty much completed every side quest. So by the end, I was actually a little bored, and just finished it off for completeness.
I know some like NV better than Fallout 3. I found them pretty similar, and maybe in the end liked Fallout 3 better.
If you really want the best deal, you can wait until the last day of the sale (July 23). If it goes on sale for cheaper, great. If not, you can buy it on the last day for the same price as now.

I enjoyed it, though I always hate games that limits what you can carry. I tried my best to keep doing side quests to extend the length of the game. Only stupid thing I did was save up my caps. Once you beat the game, you can't go back in. It's my first Fallout game, I guess I was expecting something more sandbox like.
