Terraria and the Witcher 2 are worth grabbing on the cheap atm. Arma 2 Combined Ops is 40% off as well, but if you're only interested in that for DayZ then hold off until the standalone alpha that should be out before the end of the year.
I really didn't enjoy fallout 3, tried three times to get into it and eventually got 20 hours in wondering when it was going to get good. New Vegas was a lot better, but I was so burned out on it all after fallout 3 that I stopped NV a few hours in.
A new set of Flash titles are now available: Dear Esther, Two Worlds 2, Dungeon Defenders, Dead Island, Train Simulator 2013 and Rage.
Remember that if the title you want isn't on a Daily Deal, Flash Sale or Indie Sale wait until the very last day as it may appear. Also Nerf I heartily recommend try New Vegas again, its a really great game and the DLC are actually really well done and not just half-baked content. Also Fallout 3 is rough to get into, but I'd recommend it as well, a great open-world RPG.
Yeah I'm going to get back to NV, eventually. Tbh have all these part-finished games like dishonored and NV now, which I'm not playing, it's a mess I tells ya.
edit: Aaand just bought the bard's tale for $2.49, sold on the humour and cleavage pretty much..
I always find i get shitty steam download speeds. Dota2 updates weekly and even when its a small DL, i might get speeds 0.5-200kps. I find pausing and restarting the DL speeds it up for a while. Its easy enough with 200mg updates or so but a pain with big ass DLs.
Damn, was starting to look like I might get out of this sale without buying anything, but I just grabbed Deadlight for $8. I can live with that though if thats the extent of the damage.
Recommended purchases for today: Hotline Miami, Mark of the Ninja, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, L.A. Noire (if you haven't already from last sale), Costume Quest.
I'd suggest Borderlands 2 if you haven't gotten that already, but not from Steam. Green Man have it at a dollar cheaper with their 25% voucher (GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q) which is also a Steam key.
You'll enjoy it nerfy, it has a great story. It has a big focus on detective work and questioning people and shit to figure out the mystery. It can be slightly boring sometimes due to the high amount of story and scenes etc going on but all in all it's a great game.
I grabbed that mark of the ninja yesterday, fuck what an awesome buy, excellent little time waster. Torchlight 2 is awesome, New game plus on HC Veteran is fucking insane. dun even wanna think about Elite difficulty.
