Steam "Exploration Sale" -- i.e. Autumn Sale -- now live (November 26 - December 2)

For the first time steam can't process my order or even update my credit card info. Anyone else getting problems?

nvm, got it working now. Octodad here we go!
 
Crap, lots of interesting things on today's deals:

South Park
Rogue Legacy
Witcher 2
Dragon's Age
Walking Dead

I'm leaning towards maybe just the first two.... hard to say.
 
It's a 4x game, if you like 4x games, you will have hours and hours of fun with it. It's like Civ V, you get so many hours for every dollar, you should't even calculate.

I've never played a 4x game, although I'm interested in them. This one in particular attracts me because of it's visuals and character design.

Then better hold off and try another 4x game first. You're running in the serious danger of not liking the genre. Get Civilization V. It's generally cheap at this point, it has the feel of an 4x game, but is different enough from Endless Legend that you won't feel like buying the same game twice.

edit: actually Civ V got a demo. Get that, play it and then look at Endless Legend again.
 
For those interested in South Park, Ubisoft has a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale on their store.

You can buy the new Lara Croft game for $17.99 and get South Park for free. Both games provide Steam keys from what I've been told.

Link.

Thanks, I think I'll do that. Is Catan similar to a 4x game?
 
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition worth it? I want to play Inquisition but can't put $60 towards it right now.

e: seeing the ubi b1g1 deal, is the code for dragon age inquistion origin redeemable?

Catan, like the boardgame? Not really. Mind you, 4x means "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate". Catan is missing at least the explore part and I am really not sure about exterminate, except if you play the Daleks of Catan. 4x games are a lot more complicated than boardgames.
 
The thread moves fast so I hope someone can see my question :(

I just bought Dark Souls and I can't freaking launch the game!, I set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and it still doesn't launch, do I have to install GFWL or what?

Yes. Wait a couple of weeks and they'll patch it out.

Play Batman or something in the meantime.

It is a GFWL game, so yes.

Uninstall the two GFWL apps that it installed, then install the latest one from ms website. Once GFWL is working in game, use the scroll bar to go to the very bottom of the sign in overlay, and select the small text at the bottom to create an offline account.

Thanks for the reply, but I may just wait for that patch, this sucks today was my only free day.
 
How's the steam version of Anno 1440? I remember it being gone from the store for ages.

damn! Thank you for reminding me. Had just recently added 1404 to my wishlist after seeing it in my discovery queue (yeah, I use it to "not interested" 95% of the available games, but was flabergasted when I saw 1404 on it. Because it was not available on steam for a very long time.)
 
It seems you can't buy VIP deals from GMG using GMG credits. It only forces to buy via credit cards and paypal. Tomb Raider VIP deal is $5.93 while the normal deal is $7.49.

What the literal fuck. Is there ANYTHING you can use GMG credit on nowadays besides full-price games? Fucking hell.
