Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

My resulting haul wasn't too bad for $60, although it wasn't as epic as last year's, to be sure:
The Witcher 2
Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Papers, Please
Ducktails Remastered
Outlast
Borderlands 2
AOE2 HD
The Stanley Parable
The Blackwell Legacy
The Wolf Among Us
La-Mulana
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons
The Cat Lady

Dunno 'bout the rest of you guys, but I'm personally not going to post my wall of shame here...

My new policy is to not buy anything on Steam Sales that I don't plan on playing within the very near future, so I don't mind.

New 'Humble Bundle. PWYW for Bioshock, XCOM Declassified, and The Darkness 2. Spec Ops: The Line (Amazing) also in the beat the average tier.

Hi, i want to start getting into strategy/rts type games. I would like to start off with a game that is friendly towards casual players yet has enough complexity to be taken seriously. Europa IV is curerently on sale through the humble bundle store, while I was also thinking about civ V. Any suggestions?

I haven't played either of those, but I loved the Age of Empires series, and StarCraft II is pretty good as well.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends has anyone tried it ? (Its 50% off). Better wasting £20 if I don't like it than the Zelda one (Digital for life version because that is what I get for the Wii U).

It's fun. To get the most out of it though you'll wanna play on harder difficulties.

Seems like it is the new price but I got it for about £4 but Magical Drop V is £0.79 (All the problems mentioned in reviews are fixed it works flawlessly).

If you like that type of Puzzle game get it.

I absolutely love Magical Drop, thanks for the recommendation dood. Will definitely pick it up for $0.99

I have another steam key to give away - 90s turn based strategy X-COM UFO Defense.

I bought the humble bundle a few weeks ago, but I already had this game.

Be aware that this game is very difficult to get your head around (partially on account of it being an old DOS game) - it's nowhere near as user friendly as the recent instalment, XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

If anyone is interested, please add me to your steam friends list (username in my profile), and I'll send over the code in chat.

Anyone want beta access to Dead Island: Epidemic? ...No? Then how about a 50% off coupon for Payday 2?

ZOMG Planetary Annihilation finally launched so now it's not stupid expensive!!! Too bad I can't get it right now, but I guess I could look into a Steam card...

Check the reviews first.... it's still not finished.

I have 50% off coupons for Nidhogg, Payday 2, and Hotline Miami. If you're interested, just let me know here or shoot me a message on Steam.

Yeah I saw the reviews this morning. The more I read, the more I'm thinking this might be up there with Too Human as the biggest disappointment I've been hit with...

The Humble Bundle is giving away Tropico 3 right now. https://www.humblebundle.com/store

Just thought I'd mention Kentucky Route Zero is the daily deal. I remember it being recommended by a few here. It's half-off at $12.49.

Steam is having its Hallowen sale. Several hundred "spooky themed" games (and Bad Rats) and DLC are currently discounted. The sale will end on the 3rd of November 10am PST.

Personally, I had credit in my steam account that I was itching to spend, and while the sale isn't as exciting as the Christmas sales, I did manage to pick up Breath of Death VII, Call of Cthulhu and The Binding of Isaac Collection (in preparation for Rebirth - a gift from my brother that will unlock within a few weeks). I did consider Killing Floor, Don't Starve + Reign of Giants, Walking Dead 2 and Typing of the Dead, among others, but decided I'll wait until the Christmas sale where there will be a wider (and more interesting) selection to pick from.

In all, this sale has costed me £1.64 of my current steam wallet balance.

Transistor is worth it at full price but certainly worth it at 50% off.
