Wolfenstein for $7 is a steal. I thought that was a great game and easily worth $40+ IMO.
 
$6.59 Wolfenstein: The New Order
$29.99 Far Cry 4 Gold
$7.99 Black Mesa

Played them all and I enjoyed the hell out of each, and at those prices they are a steal.
 
Amazon and green man gaming are having sales as well. I've found gmg to be cheaper than steam for most things. Amazons sales seem to mostly be for physical copies weirdly enough.
 
Doom under $20 is tempting...but lately I've become more picky as far as sales...I only pick up games I know I'm going to play immediately (or relatively soon)...otherwise it's just going to sit in my Library and the price will drop even lower during the next sale
 
Nothing in the Steam sale caught my eye but I did finally grab DA: Inquisition, Origin has the GOTY version for $15 right now.
 
Subscribing to see what people pick up. Not much I'm wanting to buy but maybe something will pique my interest.
 
Wow, I can't believe that my 780 is being dominated so badly by Doom. Time for an upgrade.
 
I may pick up one of the steam links for shiggles. Cheaper than a pi3 without the controller
 
You guys need to pick up Pillars of eternity and the White March I and II they are really good.
or Divinity Original Sin I and II
 
I grabbed Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for $12. Seems like a great price.
 
Running it at 1440. I will try changing to Open GL and see if that is any better.

That's about right. I am building a PC for a friend and I was using a 770 and it struggled @ 1440p. 1080p was certainly doable. 970+ is great for doom and a 980ti can do 100+ fps on ultra @1440p.

Sorry about going off topic here, bit I changed the multiplier from 44 to 45 on my 4790k and it seems to have made a noticeable difference. Seems weird, but it worked.
 
Yeah not sure if I can hold off on Witcher 3 anymore... it's complete now and for $30 it's soooo tempting. Problem is I saw DA:I GOTY first for $15 over on origin. UGH!
Should I get Dragon's Dogma or SOMA? Decisions, decisions.... they'll have nother sale around Christmas and New Year, right?
I still have to finish Shadow of Mordor FFS!
 
Picked up the air/land/sea pack for JC3. 66% off at $8, and I had ~$5.50 saved up in my steam wallet from selling the summer (?) sale holiday cards... totally worth $3. Probably should have bought it when it was $12.50 on the last sale... would have felt iffy at $24 though, it isn't that good.
 
I picked up the Metro Redux bundle. Nothing else really grabbed my attention. I'm still waiting for Pillars of Eternity to go below $15. I really want it, but I have a huge RPG backlog.

I did want to pick up the DLC songs for Rocksmith 2014. I don't like a lot of the music they make DLC for, so I went through the list being picky as hell. Most songs were under $2. I still ended up spending almost $100 on songs. Ugh.
 
Grabbed a few off the wishlist:
The Swindle
Just Cause 3: Air, Land & Sea Expansion Pass
Golf With Your Friends
also grabbed genital jousting (hopefully they'll add more of the party modes to mp)
 
Did Just Cause 3's abysmal performance ever get fixed? Haven't played the game since launch. Be tempting to pick up the DLC if the game is actually working properly now.

Possible. The 3GB VRAM may be a problem with Doom at 1440p, and VULKAN uses more VRAM than OpenGL. You might be better served at High textures, which to me is indistinguishable from Ultra.

Also, picked up Tales of Zesteria last night, and am liking it. Buggy initial release seems to have been patched, and at sixteen bucks it was finally cheap enough to take the chance.
