So that was a spoiler? Thanks TouchMyBox for not marking it as such.
Oh no, Steam is blocked here at work. I won't be able to lurk there all day like in the summer sale.I wish there was an achievement hunt for the Winter sale
And that also means I'll miss any flash deal (if Valve does them again) that happen during working hours. No Wi-fi in the office + shitty 3G connection on the phone = no deals for games I'd never play
Bad fucking news from Tony on CAG
Fuck this shit
I really wanted BO
If I buy The Walking Dead I'll receive all the Episodes for $12.50? I think is up?

Question on the Walking dead price from Amazon. Is that for just one episode? Also this is a steam code?

that's just part of the thrill. it wouldn't be a steam sale if there wasn't anything to complain about.

Is the sale 100% happening today or will this be like the last summer sale where everyone hyped it up and then nothing that day lol
Glass Rebel

- dev confirmed it
- no midweek deal
- random steam features crapping up
I don't know if there's a sale coming but this surely has all the symptoms of a sale.

My broadband is down, how do I sale!?! ISP gave a mobile broadband adapter, but when I use that it keeps showing me prices in USD (I am in the UK).
Guess I will have to buy on my phone, hope nothing goes wrong
Yeah I used the steam mobile app last sale when I wasn't by the computer. Worked great!
If I buy this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007WWW2C8/?tag=neogaf0e-20
do I get all 5 episodes?
is it steam compatible?

Last I checked yes to everything
This question has been asked a million times, yes and yes
edit: UGH, I can't get Dungeon Defenders to install the Visual Studio 2008 Redistributables. It's really pissing me off. If you're on my Steam friends list and you keep getting that notification of me being in-game, I'm sorry. Blame this "install redist for every game" bullshit.

Seriously, Activision can go fuck themselves. BO still for 20 bucks ON A SALE, give me a break, all I want to play is the campaign.
Glass Rebel

guys, don't blame Activision
blame the people buying the series off-sale D:

I can still blame them.
They had Vampire The Mas for like 40 bucks forever. They did a sale on it THIS year for the first time ever.

No sale for me = no promised game for you
Have you made up your mind yet? Do you want Revelations 2013 or Bad Rats 2? Ricochet HD or a Big Rigs sequel (unfortunately the original isn't on Steam)?
Glass Rebel
Member
oh man, Bad Rats 2 with tesselation and bokeh would be awesome. I'd fix all the problems of the original.
I'm hoping for either Castle Crashers or Mark of the Ninja but I doubt either will drop to 5$

Castle Crashers with zero DLC included. No thanks.

I honestly don't know what games I want to buy. I know dark souls for sure but amazon will have that at $15...not sure steam will match that or what. What's on everyone's wish list?

I'm not prepared for 2 Sales so close to each other. :|
I need a sponsor, someone I can turn to when I feel tempted. Someone to guide me away.

ZING!
My #1 would have to be X-COM. Also somewhat interested in Civ V (although I would rather wait for a definitive "complete" edition) and Dark Souls. Various adventure games on my wishlist as well, and also FTL.

I think these BF Steam deals will be pretty underwhelming, considering that the Christmas season is just around the corner. Don't assume that everything will be 75% off.
plus its gonna be tough to top the latest amazon sales. i dont even know which game i still want
Glass Rebel
Member
There isn't a lot on my wishlist. As I said, Mark of the Ninja and Castle Crashers since those two are the games I will play immediately. I could repurchase some of my physical games to have them on Steam I guess...
Well, that's why I'm waiting for a sale/indie bundle.

For Valve games the deals are pretty much the same between either. The only real outliers are dailies, but probably not worth there being enough of a difference to warrant waiting any extra month for.
My most stubborn game is probably Rayman Origins. I would have gladly swooped it up for 9.99 a long time ago, but since they've insisted on going a year without besting 50 percent, I now require it to be 75 percent off. That's how I roll. The more my enthusiasm wanes, the harder my sale becomes.
I have to agree with this. Cacpcom games especially.
How do you guys plan on approaching this sale with the winter sale so close? In the past few years, the stuff I've bought over the autumn sale has is usually the same price or cheaper during the winter sale, and I barely have the time to play it. I'm thinking about getting the point and clicks off GOG and trying to resist the autumn sale altogether.

I`m failry new to the whole Steam world (but I have been catching up, my wallet be damned! ), but I remember that before the last sale there was a asite that people could find out at least some of the games that were on the sale?
Am I remembering it right?
If so, what do we know so far? Or at least what site is it?
Thanks from a new Steam addict.

Gaf is slacking. There is no dedicated Steam Autumn sale thread yet.

yeah. I have actually been burned many times buying during the autumn sale and having the prices drop dramatically for the same titles during the Holiday sale.

Probably this.
I'm not getting paid till the end of next week, so I don't think I'll be buying anything for myself. Maybe some random $2 game, but that's it.
Who knows? It's possible that when the sales start, I say "fuck it" and start impulse buying anyway. Only time will tell.

My plan is simple. Only buy what I'm going to play right now. Else wait for the winter sale. No reason to backlog things right now with the winter sale right around the corner.
Personally all I need is a single player game to play when I don't have time for League of Legends.
