Support NeoGAF

[mrgone]

What's with some of the DLC discounting? Sword of the Stars: The Pit - 75% off. The two DLC packs individually - no discount. The Gold pack with all the DLC and the base game - 25% off. I was hoping to at least grab the Mind Games DLC during this sale.

There's a Two Tribes bundle

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/29144/
Edge, Rush and Toki Tori & Toki Tori 2+ - Save 77%

Edge, Rush and Toki Tori are all 90% off individually

Weird that it's cheaper to buy the bundle including Toki Tori 2+ than it is to buy the game alone. I wonder if that means it'll be a daily at some point

I apologize for not being a long time hardcore GAF-user. This is the first time I use NeoGAF during a sale.

We just see it every Steam Sale, posts just get lost in the noise due to people spamming, 'is there any chance...'

Trying to nip it in the bud early.

 

[outunderthestars]

I don't know why, but I have the hardest time waiting until the last day of the sale. I so want to buy Proteus, but I know to wait. still... I wants it!

 

[Faabulous]

Yes! I didn't play Commandos 3 but the others are awesome. The games are hard and frustrating at times if you are not good, but I really enjoyed them. If I remember well, for the first title you will need a cpu freezer or a patch, as the game runs fast. The expansion and 2 runs well in my experience. For that price, I say go for it.

Grabbing the pack then. Thanks mate.

 

[Divius]

Excellent value.

If you're not a racist.

Why's that?

 

[Kintaro]

Wow, Last Remnant for like 3.99? Yoink.

I apologize for not being a long time hardcore GAF-user. This is the first time I use NeoGAF during a sale.

There's no need to apologize fellow GAFfer, no problem. It's just that it is a ver common and repeated question when Steam-sales happen. Some people do it for fun/trolling purposes others are really new. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish.

If there's something you don't know, this is a great place to learn about the Steam Sales. I'm sure we can all help you. You already learned the most important thing regarding how much cheaper can a game go so just check the thread every now and then and I'm sure you will have most of your questions quickly answered. Also, always check the very FIRST post, that will help you a lot, believe me.

I hope you can have a great Autumn Steam Sale and manage to get some decent titles for yourself, enjoy!

 

[DeadlyVirus]

The Modbot gifs should make a comeback, just sayin'

 

[Kvik]

Hmm... hard to say. Amnesia was really disturbing but more because of certain elements of lore than pure scare. I would say Amnesia though, but each one are pretty scary.

Amnesia > Outlast > Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

Well then. I haven't really finished Amnesia either (partly because I'll be cowering in the corner every time it makes noises)

Ok, sold.

 

[Ermac]

So, Thomas Was Alone at $250. Think it'll hit $1 or should I just get it now?

 

[grosvenor_92]

Might grab the brigmore witches dlc for dishonored. How good is it compared to the knife of dunwall ?

Just a quick flash giveaway with a few spare keys:

Thanks, entered for The Showdown Effect!

So, Thomas Was Alone at $250. Think it'll hit $1 or should I just get it now?

Might want to wait until it returns to its regular price then..I mean, it's a good game but not that good.

 

[mrgone]

Why's that?

 

[Santiako]

Got Antichamber, I wanna get mindfucked.

 

[Roto13]

I dunno, a $249 discount is pretty extreme.

 

[MRORANGE]

I'm going to bed soon but:

You can ask these gaffers to buy you a game from a cheaper region.

Please remember: buyer must cover the Paypal charges and exchange rates means your are paying a different price.
If you want to be added to the list, send me a PM with the region you live in.

Damn so it seems that Advent Rising, Bloodrayne 1 and 2 will never be on sale, sooooo it's time to buy them! There's a chance they remove them from steam!

 

[Omega]

is there a badge for this sale?

i want a new badge

 

[epmode]

It's about the same. Which is to say that it's some of the best DLC of the generation.

 

[derExperte]

nope

 

[Dr Dogg]

Hmmm I'm wondering if the gamble of picking up some cheap cards and crafting the odd badge or 2 might pay off. There have been some crazy vouchers just recently.

 

[UnrealEck]

Needs more Tomb Raider. Was looking forward to Far Cry 3 but there's no Steam Achievements.

 

[Li Kao]

Ok, I think I'm calm enough to relaunch Space Hulk after the no remapping nonsense. Really strange, I've never been too strict on my games requirement, I'm no snub at all, but this was, after the bad reviews and months of waiting in the hope that some patchs would have been released... it was like a giant fuck you.
Am I wrong in thinking this option is like a matter of minutes ? Maybe little hours ?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yes

Winter Sale is supposed to be a week after this one.

DRM info should be showing, but the API server is still crashing hard. This will effect things like price histories, DRM categorizations, Widescreen certifications, and HowLongToBeat information.

I was about to make a post about price histories.

 

[grosvenor_92]

It's about the same. Which is to say that it's some of the best DLC of the generation.

Alright I'll wait to see if it goes on sale before picking it up then.

 

[Freezard]

I can't buy RAGE at GameFly

Region Restriction on Cart Add: The item cannot be added to the cart due to region restrictions on the product.

 

[bengraven]

Isn't the DLC that drops tomorrow going to enhance this? It sounds like an endless survival mode but with progression that you control. Not tons of new content, but at least a new mode to enhance the replay value.

It will be worth a playthrough, but not the price. For $7 you get a mode that:

- makes you a random character (not a big deal since nearly every character in story mode is a throwaway, potentially random character)
- removes the story and turns it into a pure sandbox (story is already minimal)
- lets you restart the map on higher difficulties each time you run out of resources. (the same map, though it tries to tell you "we discovered a new area", you're basically restarting the exact same small map).

Doesn't seem worth it.

Check out the Forest, and to a lesser extent, Don't Starve.

Keep an eye on Nether. It is a work in progress but it shows promise. The Forest might also deliver one day.

I actually have the Forest on my radar! And I love Don't Starve, but I'm talking about a Silent Hill kind of free roam.

Basically I would love an eerie, modern day abandoned world that DIDN'T have zombies.

Like a fucking Mist video game. God yes.

Winter Sale might have one, but this one isn't as high-profile.

[wetflame]

Thanks Dusk Golem! Very kind of you!

 

[Card Boy]

so anyone played space hulk?

It's got a low 50s meta, so i would say no.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

so anyone played space hulk?

Someone's buying a game just to buy it.

 

[The_Monk]

Fellow GAFfer "Li Kao" recently did it.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Cladun will never get a deal, right?

 

[outunderthestars]

dusk Golem is pure awesome! Thanks for the game.

I look forward to paying it forward this week!

 

[Prophane33]

Cladun will never get a deal, right?

I swear it did at some point. I remember buying it for a friend.

 

[Archaix]

so anyone played space hulk?

From what I have heard, it was made for people who are already crazy about Space Hulk the tabletop game.


And also, those people seem to hate it.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Sleeping Dogs for only that much appeals to me, as do the Halloween and New Years DLCs.

 

[Tesseract]

think lords of shadow will go 75%?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I swear it did at some point. I remember buying it for a friend.

Seriously? I am waiting since 1 year for it to get a deal, but never got one.

Useful advice:

Buy everything you want the precise second you want it. YOLO.

Sleeping Dogs for only that much appeals to me, as do the Halloween and New Years DLCs.

It's a fun open world game, go for it!

 

[Dusk Golem]

Congrats to those who won.

And a reminder that the Giveaway for Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut, Cold Fear, and Outlast ends in less than 40 minutes.

Could be, the new game's coming out soon, right?
