Steam Autumn Sale
Ah, shit.
Not a huge selection actually. Walking Dead is in there for about £5, which is well worth it if you havent got it already. Sleeping Dogs is only £4 and is a reasonably decent GTA with kung fu. Anything else anyone can recommend?

Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Thank fuck it's not too good. My wallet couldn't take it at this time of year. Of note from me:
Outlast (-66%, £5.09) - Supposed to be a pretty good FPS horror, I'll be picking this up as it's been on my wishlist waiting for a decent sale for ages.
Space Hulk (-66%, £7.81) - From what I've heard this is probably about what it's worth, and it has a few extra missions on top of what it was released with. Will probably get it unless someone says otherwise.
Castle Story (-33%, £10.04) - It's in a playable state now, feels like a light game rather than a tech demo. If you're waiting to play it now might be the time because it doesn't seem to go any lower, if you're on the fence you could afford to wait and see if it does drop more.
Civ V: Brave New World (-50%, £9.99) - This is apparently well worth it, although I've not really played since I bought it. If you plan on playing Civ again it's a good time.
Oh crap, half my wishlist is on sale...
Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (-35%, $8.44) - Supposed to be a good FPS horror, in a different way to Outlast.
TrackMania Valley / Stadium (-50%, £7.99 / £3.99) - Everyone loves Trackmania, right?
Under the Ocean (-75%, £1.74) - Looked interesting on release, I didn't ever get round to it.
Gone Home (-50%, £7.49) - Critically acclaimed, I might skip it for the next one.
Metro: Last Light (-33%, £16.74) - Supposed to be good but I've enough to spend my money on here.
Wargame AirLand Battle (-66%, £13.59) - The original had loads of potential, but because this has such a high starting price it still can't justify my buying it right now.
Sid Meier's Air Patrol (-50%, £1.99) - Well worth this price for what is effectively the whole DLC package in the iPad version. Not too deep but a nice diversion.
Outlast (-66%, £5.09) - Supposed to be a pretty good FPS horror, I'll be picking this up as it's been on my wishlist waiting for a decent sale for ages.

Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Yup, should say on the product page.
Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Civ 5 Gold edition upgrade for a fiver, looks like all the DLC except Brave new world.
Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Ugh. I was just playing Outlast in the dark and had to turn it off when Mrs Pants went to bed. Creepy, although in the cold light of day I can see it being just gore and cheap shocks. So play it at night if you did/do pick it up.
Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Papers, Please is only £3.49 today. If you're curious, but not sure maybe try the beta first.

Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Steer clear from Godus, by the looks of it. The reviews are awful.
Far Cry 3 or Blood Dragon for a fiver though? Looks like a mighty deal. Fez is £1.74 too, if you like puzzlers. It's pretentious, but heaps of fun.

Grid 2 in the flash sale. Good fun and very 5punky multiplyer

Re: Steam Autumn Sale
Yes, but in its current state not only does it have little of appeal, but they've also made some terrible design decisions which actively detract from the experience. Personally I think it could be turned around with time and effort, but I wouldn't buy it until they did because chances are they won't.buzzmong wrote:Isn't it still in alpha though?Grimmie wrote:Steer clear from Godus, by the looks of it.
