Games on SALE!

I expect Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Old Blood to hit 10 bucks each. Those are my ONLY two planned purchases.

They should hit lower than that. I picked up The New Order for $6 on Steam not too long ago.
I'm hoping for Planescape Torment Enhanced Edition to hit $10, but I'm not sure it'll drop to 50%-off so soon.
Dragon's Dogma is actually pretty cool. It's basically single player Monster Hunter meets Dark Souls, except your player character can be anything from a young child to a fat man/woman to a grandmother because the character creator is pretty damn good.

Well, I will, but it will probably be full price. I meant nothing that would be on sale would probably entice me.

You know, Witcher 3 GOTY was just 50% off on GOG.
I did not know that.
Oh well, I'm not really dead-set on getting Witcher 3 though. Partly because I started Witcher 1, got about an hour or two into it, and then got bored.
Witcher 3 is on a whole other level.

Trying to play Witcher 1 first also killed my interest, at first, unfortunately. Witcher 2 helped a little, I guess, but...
Between the two of them, I've been perfectly content to wait until Witcher 3 GOTY goes under 10 bucks.

For a limited time, GOG.com is giving away Fantasy General
I was tempted, then I remembered trying to play Panzer General on PlayStation.
NOPE.
Steam sales have sucked the last 2 years, much better deals elsewhere which you can claim on Steam.

Go here.
Witcher 3 is phenomenal and one of the few AAA games in years that really drew me in. And I hadn't played a single bit of Witcher 1 or 2 before playing it. It was a bit awkward at first because I was unfamiliar with the world and its characters, but eventually, I caught on and then couldn't put it down.
As for the Steam sale in general, I honestly don't think I'll get anything. I have a back log of games to play right now. Any games I'm particularly interested in (Full Throttle, Thumbleweed Park) are too new to have any significant discounts.

There's a reason Witcher 3 won like every gaming award there is. I'm pretty sure it won best sports game. And the company that makes it is one of the few gaming companies out there that are pro-consumer and don't try to shit all over their customers.
I actually really liked Witcher 2 (and 1 was an ok try for a first game), but 3 is on a whole other level, and since both are games that take tens to hundreds of hours to complete, you can't be faulted for wanting to go straight to 3. And you can do so either completely blind and pick up the past events through context as you go, or you can watch a youtube primer to get the story so far.

I want to watch the youtube primers, but I'm not sure how much I can take of, "Heeeeey YouTube, it's WackyName coming at you with another exciting episode of Blah. Thanks for waiting through my pointless production company logo. Now wait through pointless title sequence, after which I'll babble about stuff you didn't click to hear for 5 straight minutes before I finally get to the content you wanted!"

A more direct link, and clarification that it's for Steam, PS4 or XBOne.
But I can't figure out how to get it added to my Steam account.
Does it require an always-on Internet connection? Because my net connection is spotty and it's why I haven't gotten the new Hitman yet.

From what I understand, the "demo" you can download is now the entire first episode, but it doesn't actually add anything to your account.
Me: Hooray! Steam sale has begun! Time to get games super cheap!
*Steam currently experiencing heavy load*
Me:
Meanwhile, Bundle Stars is also having a big sale. And as usual, for some completely unknown reason, the majority of AAA games they're offering are Warner Bros games. Including the F.E.A.R. trilogy for 91% off, which I didn't get in time when it was last offered. I might this time.
But seriously, I don't understand why they're almost exclusively Warner Bros deals.

Not only that, but even if you can get in, a lot of the games aren't showing their sale prices yet.Me: Hooray! Steam sale has begun! Time to get games super cheap!

Me:
"Today's Highlighted Deals: *Grim Dawn at full price*"
Things will sort themselves out.
Also, they're giving out "stickers" instead of "trading cards", but I'm not sure if that makes any practical difference yet.

Update: Stickers and trading cards. Cards work like usual. Stickers aren't tradeable. Not sure what they do, but supposedly they unlock pages that you get to keep if you fill them out, but I think they may just be participation ribbons.
Anyway, I'm thoroughly underwhelmed that Planescape Torment is only 15% off. Really?
