Figured I'd start the thread now as we're just under 2 weeks away. They did gift coupons and coal last year, but I don't know how successful that turned out. What's on your remaining wish list?

I'm looking for a Farcry 3 10% discount since it's new. Some sort of discount on AC3, although if it's not 25% or more I won't really care. Also on the list of things for the right price

Lego Lord of the Rings
Dishonored
Dark Souls
AC2 Delux Edition

Not really looking for much this year.

Dishonoured
Football Manager 2013
Magic the Gathering 2013
Total War Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai Expansion
X-Com DLC?

Just not a lot I want to get especially with stuff I still haven't played from last year's sale, two Humble Bundles, etc.

ANNO 2070 (Unsurprisingly, this is still being sold at full price)
XCOM
Dishonored
Quantum Conundrum

And I looked, no they haven't.

The coupons last year were the stupidest promotion ever.
"Hey, grats on completing that achievement, here's a ticket for 50% off Capsized throughout the month of January!"
"Uhm, but Capsized is 75% off NOW.  Under what circumstances would I ever have a use for this coupon?"

I ended up blowing most of my Christmas money on crap I didn't really want for their black friday sale, so it's going to be a quiet holiday for me unless there are some steep discounts on the stuff I have left.

My wishlist is mostly cheap indie titles in case family wants to buy me something, but the AAA stuff I'm keeping an eye on is:
Dishonored
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Borderlands 2
X: COM Enemy Unknown
Guild Wars 2, if it ever shows up on Steam

On the maybe list:
Lucius
Far Cry 3
Civ V Gods and Kings
Carrier Command
Testament of Sherlock Holmes

It's there, sure, but they did relax the whole "THOU SHALL ONLY INSTALL THEE ON ONE SINGULAR COMPUTER DEVICE" activation thing.

Also, the Legacy of Kain series just got uploaded to Steam.  That just became #1 for me  awesome, for real

The big ones for me would be Skyrim and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. I think I'll probably go more with Project Greenlight titles besides these two, otherwise, if the prices are right, these are the ones I'm thinking about:

Dungeons
Fable 3
Xcom
Sky

Hmm. Not really in the market for games right now. But maybe a couple of these.

Dishonored - probably not cheap enough
Anno 2072 maybe
FC3 won't be cheap enough
Risen 2
HoMaM 6
Age of Wonders 2
Fallen Enchantress
Drakensang 2/River of Time
Fable 3
Dark Souls

Note there's a bunch of stuff on sale for Big Picture right now.

I would just like dark souls to go on sale so that I can gift it to people who will give up on the game before leaving the Undead Asylum.

Far Cry 3 is a bit too new I think, but I'd buy it for $10 off.

Dark Souls I own on PS3 and I won't deal with Games for Windows Live unless I absolutely have to, high res patches be damned.

AC2 would be kind of interesting.  I haven't played AC1 in long enough, but enjoyed part of it until I had played that part roughly 8 times in succession.  I keep hearing 2 was pretty much the peak of the series.

Other than that? Dunno, I doubt I'll buy much.  I rarely play anything I buy on Steam sales anymore.

XCOM and Dishonred in that order, but probably only if I can get them under $20 since I might not get to them for a while.

Based on pure fun and enjoyment, my ratings on them would be:

Ac1: 70
Ac2: 95
AcBro: 89
ACRev: 82
Ac3: 85

It's not that the latter games are bad, per se.  Ac2 simply had a great pace.

The only game I really want is XCom. I might even play it once I got it.

Sleeping Dogs looks really good. I picked up Dishonored for 50% and am ok with that price.

I LOL'd at Sky wanting Dark Souls.

Dishonored and Far Cry 3 are on my list, should have picked up Dishonored with the autumn discounts, but too much stuff to catch up on. I expect 99% of the Winter Sale to be deja vu to Autumn, and turd-ina-box games.

Does anyone know anything about Anarchy Reigns, other than it's a fighting game?  I love fighting games.  It's not even released yet and it's $30 off for the pre-order at Gamestop.  And wtf is a pee-order?  Please ass-plain it to Mr. Spellchecker!  And yet ass-plain is a word according to him.  Geezusfuckinchrist.

All days seem to put the release of the Steam Holiday list at December 20th as the start. So we are a week away by estimates.

I don't know why I'm so excited, but I'M SO EXCITED.
