Support NeoGAF

[Double D]

Damn. No discount on Space Engineers. My kid has been bugging me for a while to buy it but I kept telling him to wait for a sale.

 

[jshackles]

Everyone that doesn't already have it needs to grab The Wolf Among Us today.

 

[Kadin]

I can't remember a previous Autumn Sale. Is this like a 'lite' version of things to come with the Winter Sale? I'll still try to follow it but it seems to me to be a very watered down sale at this point.

 

[Toad.T]

How long does it take for the Sales database site to update with the new stuff from this sale? I don't want to panic and overspend on the last day (instead, I'd like to spread it out, is what I'm saying.).

 

[ashecitism]

Not sure I see the complaints about the layout. There's games on sale for 2 days in the top box and then 1 day in the box below. Very easy within the client, not sure what it's looking like elsewhere.

I don't get it either. You see the top box, then scroll down, see the second box, scroll down again, see the list box. That's it. If this had voting, meta game and flash deals, that would have been made apparent, no matter how bad Valve are with UI/UX.

 

[manueldelalas]

Castlevania LOS "Ultimate" is $7.49 (is this good? I don't know), LOS2 is $9.99 (lowest apparently), BIT:TRIP Collection (every game) is $4.99.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Thank god there is no card madness and team competition on this one. Maybe in the holiday sale, but for now my sanity is safe.

 

[outunderthestars]

has anyone tried the vanishing of Ethan Carter? How is the controller support? Steam only lists it as "partial" which always worries me.

 

[Arkhanor]

Age of Mythology, come to my digital library!

 

[chrominance]

Just realized this is the first sale with Canadian pricing. RIP in peace.

That said, it looks like all the percentage discounts are the same. Wonder if I should jump on The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

 

[Alo81]

That TEW price is fuckin wild. Holy shit.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is #1 seller. > 300,000 concurrent players here we come. Either during this sale or the winter sale.

Also, Valve updated the stats page to the new color scheme. It's a lot more readable now:

[Deleted member 17706]

Nothing for me... been a few years of most Steam sales being less than exciting. I guess I just buy too many games!

I almost considered Company of Heroes 2, but I see they have a full priced expansion available now, too. I guess I'll just wait for next year when I can get an all-in-one pack for the same price.

Probably irrational, but I can't be the only one who actually gets discouraged on buying the base game when I see a full priced expansion or "Season Pass" also for sale.

 

[ashecitism]

DreamHack starts tomorrow. It'll definitely go over 300k.

 

[FoneBone]

The Evil Within for 2/3 off, less than two months after its release, is nuts.

(I'm going to wait for it to go below $10 next year, though.)

 

[Seanspeed]

what, where?

it's just 30% off here

It's not? 30% for me.

From £40 to £18 here in the UK.

 

[vazel]

That TEW discount removes any complaints I had about Steam sales not being as good as they used to be. Like, wow.

 

[rtcn63]

So many games I've never seen before.

 

[outunderthestars]

Really interested in Ethan Carter and the Long Dark. Any impressions?

 

[Denton]

Evil Within 20 dollars, I would seriously think about getting it despite my "not getting anymore games this year" resolution (huge backlog). But twenty euros makes resisting that desire easier.

 

[Zoolader]

Hmmmm I've been itching to try Counter Strike even though I've never played a game in the series.

 

[derExperte]

I hope everyone buys Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

I can't remember a previous Autumn Sale.

Well there was one last year, same time.

 

[Marcel]

The smell of that TEW bomba price. Wow.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Evil Within 20 dollars, I would seriously think about getting it despite my "not getting anymore games this year" resolution (huge backlog). But twenty euros makes resisting that desire easier.

just remind yourself itll be 5 bucks come next summer

 

[Denton]

Really interested in Ethan Carter and the Long Dark. Any impressions?

Ethan Carter is gloriously beautiful, and the story is pretty interesting too. But it is for the most part a walking sim, so do not expect huge gameplay mechanics from it. I superenjoyed it though. Good use for that alpha of yours

 

[Syntsui]

The game I anticipated the most for this sales was Dark Souls 2, but they just announced that there will be another fucking version of the game. It's just already over for me=/

 

[JaseC]

I hope everyone buys Vanishing of Ethan Carter.



Well there was one last year, same time.

And the year before that and the year before that and the year before that...

 

[The Illiterati]

has anyone tried the vanishing of Ethan Carter? How is the controller support? Steam only lists it as "partial" which always worries me.

I loved it. It's a visual feast for even slower computers. Partial support in this case just means theres a configuration tool before the game boots that requires the mouse. Otherwise it's full support.


Everyone should get TEW and try it for a good while. Despite its flaws, one of my surprising favorites this year!

 

[Volcynika]

Crypt of the Necrodancer is pretty great

Second this. Sogood!

 

[Brick]

I wasn't going to buy anything this Steam sale, but TEW for $20?

I said DAMN.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I'm going to guess that TEW will drive more revenue today and tomorrow than it has life to date.

 

[RK9039]

Whooa, this sale came outta nowhere.

 

[Socat]

For those struggling to keep track of different sites sales for games, you can use http://isthereanydeal.com/ and import your steam wishlist and it will email you with any price drops and you can filter by how much of a discount before you are notified. Makes things a bit easier.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Nice price for Necrodancer.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

Whooa, this sale came outta nowhere.

Same time as every year, and people knew the date for a while.

 

[TheSeks]

There's also another set of special deals lasting 1 day. This sale's "flash deals" I guess.

For the best. I hated the 6 hour "vote for things that the Steam community will vote against" stuff.

Did they also drop the stupid game-within-a-sale stuff?

 

[Instro]

Looks pretty good. Probably bite on TEW.

 

[Kadin]

Well there was one last year, same time.

No, I'm saying I personally don't remember the details of it.

 

[outunderthestars]

I loved it. It's a visual feast for even slower computers. Partial support in this case just means theres a configuration tool before the game boots that requires the mouse. Otherwise it's full support.

Awesome! Off to buy it now.

 

[Tizoc]

MARLOW BRIGGS FOR A DOLLAR!

 

[MRORANGE]

Thanks for making the thread JaseC.

 

[RionaaM]

Castlevania LOS "Ultimate" is $7.49 (is this good? I don't know), LOS2 is $9.99 (lowest apparently), BIT:TRIP Collection (every game) is $4.99.

The Bit.Trip collection is totally worth it, even if the Flux port is less than optimal. Don't know if it was patched after I played it, but anyway, get it!

 

[RK9039]

Same time as every year, and people knew the date for a while.

Yeah but I forget everytime.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Pretty good start with TEW and Beyond Earth.

I highly recommend picking up Crypt of the Necrodancer, it's very, very good. Both Stanley Parable and Wolf Among Us are also fantastic.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Lol DayZ. 15%. Stingy.

 

[ashecitism]

For the best. I hated the 6 hour "vote for things that the Steam community will vote against" stuff.

Did they also drop the stupid game-within-a-sale stuff?

Yes. For this sale. You can bet the Winter sale will have those again

 

[fluffydelusions]

They have a simulator game for everything huh. This just out. Where's the OT GAF??

MARLOW BRIGGS FOR A DOLLAR!

Yes, I bought this just now; I hope it's good, if not I'll blame GAF.
