New to Steam

[Orthodoctus]

Since I built a gaming capable PC, I thought I should use it for gaming as well, given that a PS4 is more expensive (630 USD) here than a decent GPU (GTX 970 in mind, which will probably cost around 430 USD), but I'm not sure whether to wait for a Steam sale or just start buying games, and does the steam sale include the majority of games or just a few?

 

If you're wondering why do I want a PS4 while I have a capable PC, that is because I'm a trophy whore...   starting fresh on a new platform is heartbreaking.

If something goes cheap, id buy it.

 

But if you want something to play that is free and really good. Id recommend TERA. Im streaming it right now (link in profile) if you want to take a look at it. Its fantastic and not pay 2 win!

The big steam sale is the best time to buy games and that's way you buy steam cards(if they have them in your area) a week before the sale because they ran out in my area, only 100 dollar ones were on sale, 20 and 50 were sold out.

You can buy games cheap on other sites as well just tell ne which games you are looking to buy so that i can search on the web and get you best deals for them...

[Semper]

I don't know of anyone that cares about steam achievements... though i'm sure there are a few out there.

 

The thing with steam: every game will be on sale at some point... but it's usually not until the day after you buy it...

 

99% of my library (194 games) wasn't bought at full price, they've been bought through steam itself (usually on sale), G2a, Gamers Gate, Good old Games, Greenman Gaming, and Humble Bundle.

In fact, there's only two games that were bought at full price, Borderlands 2, and Skyrim. Both were worth every penny.

Plenty of good sites for cheap games.. http://www.greenmangaming.com/    http://www.gog.com/   https://www.humblebundle.com/store    Just to name a few.If the game is on steam those sites usually just give you a steam key.

well i got garrys mod for 3 dollars and i'd logged in for 8 minutes since the time i'd bought that game

lol, i think the game ratio is for every dollar you spend, its like 2 hrs of games play for the game to be worth it. in that case, i jave spent $.019 for every hour of game play, so basically a cent gets me 30 mins... lol

Welcome to the real wolrd my friend!

 

Steam is amazing, I've bought quite some game recently that were in sales. Consoles are for faggies...

Steam as some games sale everyday, every week and every weekend. Browse around and mark games you like to your wishlist. You get email notification when something goes on sale. Or you can use 3rd party site for it.

I'm currently killing time with what I have left to play on my PS3, and I've put some time into Path of Exile, which is decent enough.

 

The big steam sale is the best time to buy games and that's way buy steam cards(if they have them in your area) a week before the sale because they ran out in my area, only 100 dollar ones were on sale, 20 and 50 were sold out. 

Would a $20 card do for starters?

Thanks, but only Steam is available for me to purchase from at the moment (cards).

Sadly, I can only purchase from Steam at the moment, due to the payment methods.

As in you don't have credit/depid card? PayPal is really nice for online purchases and many sites allow it as payment method, GoG and HumbleBundle among them. It can be set up via bank transfer also. They require $3 payment, which you eventually get back, for verification.

a lot of games, for 20 dollars i got, injustice, dirt 3, gird 2(they were on all on sale), i also got other games too

I'm in the process of setting up a bank account, until then I'm bound to the Steam.  :lol:

Definitely wait for a sale, Gabe Newell will provide

Every big holiday there is a sale.  Summer, Christmas, Halloween, Spring. Etc.

[Orthodoctus]

 

Or just buy them now... Valve complete pack! only 24€

 

Link for my post

 

That's a great deal, but I'd rather buy newer games.
