Yes almost everything is on sale for at least 33%. If you're looking for more discount. You should look at the main page.

There are the daily deals. The list changes everyday. It puts games up to 50-75% discount in that day. and there's the flash deals, It changes every couple of hours, discount's can get up to 90% in this one.

So, yeah, if you're looking for the cheapest way to buy a said game. Put it on a wishlist and wait for an email if it is on Flash deals(1st priority) or a Daily deals(2nd priority) up to the last day of sale, Jan 4. before finally buying.

Far Cry 3 is ubisoft's game and got high rating on every review sites, i believe it won't be sale along with assassin's creed 3 unless it's been more than 2 yrs old since its released

AC3 and FC3 might go on sale in the Spring sale but I doubt they'll go on sale in the Holiday sale. They're too new and Christmas is when most game purchases occur.

You can always buy it from some site like cdkeyshere, $26
http://cdkeyshere.com/far-cry-3-cd-key.html
I don't think I would, rather wait for a Steam sale or Amazon sale

Thanks but there was a forum that showed everything that was on sale that day. It also had instructions for those who had never done a Steam sale before. Like putting games in your wish list that you wanted so you could easily watch them.

I'm pretty sure if you add it to your wishlist, it alerts you when its on sale? But Otherwise, I'll send you a steam message if I see them on sale.

Farcry 3 is ubisoft. you'll be lucky to get 40% off. Borderlands 2 at 50% is still pretty good.

A lot might be Christmas Day only so hurry if you're interested.

Really want to play The Secret World...but I don't want it to go on sale after I buy it for 25% off. Eff. Steam sales is a love/hate relationship. Lol.
