I'm sorry, I think you mean the sale that starts today

lol whut?
I'm sure Toma will create a thread to highlight the Indie gems. Though the Autumn sale is usually the most low key sale so don't know about the quantity and deepness of the discounts will be. Guaranteed for Crimbo though.

It's up to the developer but they usually do.

Maybe for the best then, saved money is ok.
Really? :<
Does it really start today? :<
But that leaked mail thing showed it starting next week!
I spent my budget on a damn Vita game!
The Autumn Sale is shorter than the Summer and Winter Sales, but it's identical in terms of scope.
You're thinking of the final day (December 2nd).

Sale starts today. at 1pm EST. I hope it was a good Vita game.
Your reading comprehension needs patching.
Soon, the place will be locked down and we'll all have to move to the sale thread.
Quick question before the sale starts. Is this game really that good? I'm looking for a 3D platformer and I heard that this game is good but I just can't see that goodness. I'm willing to take a leap of faith but i need a little push... (I'm on a tight budget during this sale but on winter things will change...)

If it was Teraway, have no regrets my friend.

I really really enjoyed what I played of it. Messing about with the landscape and platforming is just bliss on that game.
Reminded me I need to finish it up though. I'll get on that this weekend.
Well the beauty is you never know what might crop up with Indie discounts. All them $3-4/£1-2/2-3 purchases soon add up
That's almost begging for an avatar quote. Plus I'm half tempted to ask what you're off to see. Must... Resist
Hella lucky.

I've looked at this and I hear it's somewhat good but on the short side so it may not be worth it to you.
Is there 3d platforming in the lego games? I've only played the first 10 minutes or so of lego lotr. If so, those might give you more bang for your buck.

I still can't believe Steam's recommendation system is so useless after all this time. "Here are games we recommend to you because they're on your wishlist!"
Duh, they're on my wishlist. I know about them.
Duh, they're on my wishlist. I know about them.
You're in luck, because the email also said that whatever discount shows up on the Autumn sale will also show up in the Winter sale, meaning the games will cost the same on both sales (I wouldn't be surprised if a Daily Deal shows up on the Autumn but not on the Winter Sale, but it's highly unlikely, as the Winter Sale goes for like two weeks).
Richard III. A pretty well reviewed production of it so I can't wait! Also not seen the girl in a month, so it's a double whammy.
Yeah, regret nothing. Need to get on P4G once I've finished this playthrough of P3P. Started a playthrough of P3FES but forgot to save before turning off, so thought I may as well start again on my Vita. Got a PS2 Persona 4 waiting for me too, but thinking I'll just get Golden at this point.

I heard good things about, there's an OT for it, but it's very inactive:

I am really hoping Steam sale has some type of meta game it makes the sale much more fun, and I spend more money so it is good for them. Come on GABE!

Sale starts today?? Nooooo! I don't get paid until Monday and I've had my eye on a few bits and pieces
No to be a Doggie Downer but it's a bit debatable. For example last year there was only 6 daily deals on a rotational basis for Autumn whilst the Summer and Winter sales both had 12 with all 3 having rotating Flash Sales every 6 hours. 2011 they all followed the same format (12 dailies on rotation) and 2010 was The Great Treasure Hunt. So it's been the lower key sale in recent history though all Steam Sales are big in scope. But hey you never know Valve might mix it up again. Just over an hour to find out.
Great, one title I'll happily get now that I've forgotten all of the stages and patterns from the last time I played it.
I've never actually liked Pac-Man games, the traditional ones before the Championship Edition line. Normal Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, etc I could only play for a few minutes at most before I grew utterly bored.
Pac-Man Championship Edition on the other hand, and DX by extension, was something I easily and gleefully dived into because it's not just survival and maze aspect, but almost a puzzle discovering the best path, tactics, moments to eat a ghost or not, and so forth with perhaps the most satisfying sense of reward when you eat a a dozens of ghosts in one long chain.
High score competition with a friend also made it a must play every day.
It's worth trying out at least even if past Pac-Man maze games have left someone underwhelmed or bored. There is a demo to try it out.
Pac-Man Championship easily. It's a wonderful look at a classic series and a new direction and spin on it, while still honouring and maintaing a lot of the solid mechanics and style that made it one of the biggest gaming lines during it's peak period.
Galaga Championship is style over substance. Fun can still be had, but it just falls flat with how it tried to "evolve" as a franchise and catch this style of retro revival. You are better served playing one of the many other Galaga games.
If you do want a retro style revival of a shoot-em-up that does improvements to the core, I recommend finding Space Invaders Extreme on DS, PSP, or XBLA.
It's a 3D geometry platformer right out of the 90s made with modern graphics and sensibilities. Very easy, very "hey kids, have a new power up", and very much a title that few will ever replay again. Wait for it to be cheaper.
Congrats on getting a game out. I was just asking about suggestions for co-op puzzles a while back and this looks like it will fit my needs quite well.
Still being made, currently in beta. http://www.chromasquad.com/

I don't think we'll get any meta-game for this sale, but the Winter one will definitely have SOMETHING.

Considering how cynical you are towards the majority of games... this surprises me to be honest.
More so than Euro Truck Sim 2... that has to be a troll....

44 hours. My first perfect game!
I have some problems with the game, but it is very enjoyable. Made it to my Top 10 from last gen.

I thought it was eastern time. Valve is in the west coast because only the awesome things are on the west.

Ah thanks. I don't know why but I had assumed Valve was located in the East coast.
