Hi, I have several games on my watchlist that I'm hoping go on sale, even better, some of those sweet, sweet deep sale prices during the Steam summer sale, which will be starting in a short period of time.

I list them in order of my desire:

1. Assassin's Creed: Origins -- I want to get the full edtion which includes everything. Normally it goes for a whopping $100. I'm hoping for at least half price! Or better. You'd think it might be on a good sale, considering they already announced the next game, which is releasing later this year. This game is by far my "most wanted", the other games listed are not even close, to be quite honest.

2. Bulletstorm: Full clip edition -- I like shooters, but this game is way, way overpriced at $40. It should be going for $10 to $20 at most. Not touching this unless it is dirt cheap!

3. Rise of the Tomb Raider -- I'm a fan of the Tomb Raider games. Never picked this one up though. I'm hoping for a $20 price tag, it was on a discount close to that price once before, but I missed it.

4. Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth expansion - this goes for a relatively cheap $18, but I'm hoping they might go real dirt cheap on this one, maybe $5 to $10 or something. I like the action rpg Grim Dawn, but never got this expansion.

Any games you are planning on picking up during a steam sale, I'd be interested to see. Also, maybe a short explanation on what about this game appeals to you or why you want it.

Bullstorm sucks (well it was kind of ok when it came out but it is nothing special and there are better shooters these days); Rise of Tomb Raider is fantastic at any price; if you are going to buy Aassassin Crred (I wouldn't because I hate uplay) buy it at ubi as it will require you to run uplay and steam if purchaed on steam (maybe they finally added a way to 'transfer' it to uplay and bypass steam?). No clue on grim dawn expansion but I think they are working on the last one if you're not going to play it for a while just wait and get the game of year deal :)

There is nothing i'm thinking of buy 'cept maybe ash of gods but maybe not.

I'm hoping for Gal Civ III with all dlc for <$30, or Death of the Outsider for <$10. I don't think it'll happen this time though, maybe christmas.

Technomancer is one I'm keeping my eye on. Probably a few others that I'm forgetting at the moment, but I'll quickly remember if I see them on sale!!

From my Steam wishlist:

Battle Chasers: Nightwar
Elminage Original
Steve Jackson's Sorcery (the whole pack)
The Storm Guard: Darkness is Coming
Vaporum

Additionally, in every Steam Sale I always buy a hidden gem or two, games that usually aren't on my wishlist.

Arx Fatalis, Stalker. Maybe some hidden gems I discover in the meantime.
 
I'm planning to do some browsing when the sale starts. Three games I've got my eye on though:
Elex: I'm waiting for a drop of more than 50%. I like the sound of it, but I have a feeling I won't enjoy it as much as some folks around here. I'd like to give it a go though.
Street fighter Anniversary Edition: it's probably too early for a discount but if it happens I'm there. Loads of Street fighter games from the last 30 years in one package, including my beloved Alpha 2.
Hellblade Senua's sacrifice: not my usual kind of game but sounds interesting and I'd give it a go at the right price.

I was temped to pick up street fighters anniversary edition too but its quite pricey, especially considering I want SF2 only… :(

Other games on my radar:
Borderlands 2
Pillars of Eternity 2 if more than 50% off (which I doubt)

Yeah there's a lot of games in the package but 40 Euros feels a bit too steep for a collection of classic old games. If it drops 50% I'll definitely pick it up, can't see that happening this time though.

I need to go through SFII with Zangief to see the Gorbachev dance scene again ;)

I'm waiting on a sale for XCOM2's War of the Chosen that is better than the measly 25% it's been at occasionally.

1. $100?! I know I paid less than that for the complete (gold) edition. It had some preorder discount on uplay store with of course using uplay store points to drop the price even more (-20%). You can always check shady sites (cdkeys for example).

3. The complete edition sux. You get too many of grindy mmo modes in DLC that work sporadically thanks to poor square enix servers that kick you out and that deletes anything you've accomplished. And of course, you get tons of irrelevant cosmetics.
If you can combine the main game with Baba Yaga DLC and 20 years celebration DLC to pay less than for the complete edition, go for that instead.

Tangledeep was another title I had my eye on, but scored that over the weekend as a Father's day gift. So, at some point, maybe even the next game, Tangledeep shall be played.

I *think* fanatical has it for 40% off occasionally - not today of course. You shoudl set up an email notification from your favorite monitoring site. Hum it is currently 19.99 @ humble and lowest ever is 12.99 at some site i never used.

For the big ones I was looking to get me one of Prey, Rise of the tomb raider, or Dishonored 2. However, I'm busy with andromeda for the coming months now.

For the 'indies', Ori (not sure if this is indie), hollow knight, firewatch, apotheon, and owl boy are still high on the list.

Either some of the EEs (I think NWN is the only one I don't have) and Pillars 2. I hope it's a decent amount off and not something small like the 10% off it had on gog.

I need to get Subnautica some time. Maybe Wolfenstein 2 if it's a deep sale. Oh, and Ghost of a Tale! My backlog is getting a tad large so I don't want to get too much.
