Steam Autumn Sale

So theres nearly 500 games/DLC with fair discounts, was just curious what fellow m11x users are getting for the autumn sale and why Curious as to what others getting and what i should check out as i am bound to miss some good games for dirt cheap prices

Also if theres some good deals on SC2 pls let me know

I got Cossacks pack and TDU2 for now, Cossacks is a great classic strategy game, and TDU2 will probably be a disappointment. still i like the idea of a racing free roaming MMO creature thing.

 

In today's deal , Portal 2 is one of the greatest game i've ever played , and Mass Effect is also really cool , especialy at that price !

I saw a test a while ago , saying that Orcs Must Die is a cool game , and runs great on m11x.


So far , so good. At the end of the week , i'll probably have to lower my Macdonald ratio , STEAMWILLTAKEALLMYMONEYOMG

 

Thanks for the heads up un4tural. I normally check steamgamesales for the latest sales but the Steam Autumn sale hasn't shown up yet.

I agree Catzoo, Portal 2 and Mass Effect 2 would be up the top in the list of my all time favourite games. I too expect to be broke by the end of the sale

 

I'll probably also get Mass Effect 1 and 2. Now it's finally my chance to play them, haha!!
Also, I might get some games like Half-Life 2 or Bioshock which I never really ever played but always wanted to.

I'm more in the Metro or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mood but I already have those... sooo, if anyone knows of a game on sale that might resemble the atmosphere/fights, do go on.
Definitely in a shooting mood though, hmmm...

 

I have held off on Duke Nukem Forever due to the poor reviews, but at $6.79 it may finally be time to give it a shot.

 

Yeah, i am waiting for ME3, keeping my save games safe in an external HDD and a backup in a flash drive lol... i really don't want to play through them 3rd time. Though i probably will when ME3 comes out anyway...

Orcs must die looks fun though i am not really into Tower Defense games etc.

I got the stalker games, but didn't get to play them fully, i really want to go explore the chernobyl tho lol. pretty much only reason i got it.

For the similar to stalker games, i loved fallout 3, not so much the second one, didn't quite get into the all parcel chip man in a white suit story, just didn't seem as interesting and intriguing as fallout 3... expected something more out of it and it didn't really deliver.

Also, i wasn't really into the elder scrolls etc. but after getting skyrim i am definitely getting the whole series when it goes 75% off or something


Also i am surprised how well Mass Effect is keeping its value, replayability is great as well, totally worth the buy now as well, but looking at like TDU2 there, which is now dirt cheap, not really that long ago released and NFS series... Wow.

 

Starcraft 2 is 29.99 right now (just got a promo email in my box about it)

as for the Steam sale... I've got my eye on Dead Island. It's 33% off right now, which isn't quite enough for me... considering how Dead Island's hype has kinda died off.

 

dead island is fun to play with a friend etc. soloing it is pretty stupid as you keep dieing from swarms of fast zombies... ALL THE BLOODY TIME. I'd recommend waiting until it is like 5$ cause it still is really, really buggy. Guns character is really useless until last missions cause before that there isn't ammo/guns of decent damage...

All in all it is a good idea, but it is way too buggy... It is fun climbing all over the place etc. but auto save don't work as well as it should A LOT, Theres A LOT of other quirks that need to be addressed in the game, but i doubt they ever will...

 

Exactly. I played through it on Xbox, and it got really repetitive after my first playthrough. The storyline also gets more and more far-fetched as you play... turning from a gritty island horror game to some kind of sci-fi episode of Resident Evil. I was disappointed to say the least, especially after how much they hyped this game.

 

The scenery in resort was epic though looked like paradise, wouldn't mind spending my holiday there even with all the zooombies... After you leave the resort part, it gets sort of dark and gloomy and sewer levels are revolting considering the resort island that i am on... anything would've been better.

 

Well I just broke down and bought a bunch of games....
Deus Ex Pack
Max Payne Pack
Crysis
Alice Madness Returns
Half-Life 2
Mass Effect 1 and 2
I have problems...

 

For thoses who waits Half Life 2 or Dead Island , just wait.

Half life 2 is ALWAYS on huge sell during thoses special events like -90% , for 1$ or something. Dead Island is now out for enough time to get a special discount , and had never fall under -33%.

Expect to have a -50 or -75% , could be awesome.

As usual , Activision just give us a fu'**, with a 29€ Black Ops ... what a price.

 

yeap, I think the same of catzoo, wait for the specific dates for each game, today its ME2, orcs must die day!, sadly I already have both games (ME2 was 100 pesos ~8 USD, and Orcs must die I got it free over the internet )

but overall I think Im gonna skip this sale for one cause: SKYRIM...
maybe the DLC's from new vegas but thats it

 

Feel like to buy Dungeon Defenders for my friends again :x

 

Thanks for this! Ive been wanting to buy a few games. Have less than a handful of games for pc and this sale might change that

FYI:
Dead island is an awesome game. Dont know if its legit but i bought a dead island steam key on ebay for 12 bucks. They key worked and i ended up playing this game for hours! Not sure what the bugs are but it ran without problems for me.

 

Mass Effect is a great game, to bad i bought them when they came out for much more anyway, if you did not play them, get them now ME is a very good game, i am patiently waiting for ME3...

 

I've been wanting some NFS games to try out, but even with the 50% they really don't seem worth it, just seems like EA are living in the clouds with the pricing... They should drop prices, no game after a year of release is worth pretty much same...

 

starcraft 2 is 50% off at $30, at www.battle.net until the 28th

 

its still 45£ in EU. If i get the North American version will i only be able to play in North American servers? it seems like its region locked. Or can i just change it when i log in etc.?

 

Just been playing through Portal 2 again after being inspired by the sale.

If you don't have it already, do yourself a favour and get in now!

 

Do you think there will still be a sale at Christmas?

 

It's just like G2play and such , thoses key are " real " keys , but they are not legit.

I read a few articles on this , people buy games for cheap in poor country , get the key , and for ex , send it back to the shop.

Steam just sometimes checked thoses key and such , knowing they are sold on Black Market for cheap. Sometimes you can have it and be lucky , sometimes you'll get banned for this.

I recommend not to buy thoses keys , and if you do it , just put them on another Steam account just to be sure ( i'd be MAD to get banned and can't have to right to play the 50+ Steam games i paid legit ... )

 

That would be a safe bet.

 

can anyone report on how Red Orchestra 2 is doing on the R1?

 

Let's Play some Dead Island (M11x R3)

Just thought I'd throw this up. I just bought it for 33% off. Runs like a dream on high.

 

I caved. Bought Mass Effect 2 with 4 minutes left to spare before the deal ended.

 

You won't regret it

 

I'll wait til the end of the week for Dead Island to have a bigger Deal

 

True story.

Well, incase anyone wants to pick up New Vegas for $5 here is an old video I found I had on my hard drive that I decided to upload.

High Settings. Native Resolution.

Let's Play Fallout: New Vegas - The Massacre of Novac - [M11x R3] - YouTube

 

New Vegas is a really good deal today, though personally i still prefer Fallout 3.

Rift seems to be on sale every chance it gets as well. Probably desperate for some players. Still 5£ first month and 20£ after that monthly is too much for a pretty much every day MMORPG, or am i missing something? Theres good detail to big monsters in trailer, not much more.

Also am i doing something wrong or skyrim don't want me to play it cause almost everything is 1hitting me :d even with some armor. bloody annoying.(90destruction magic some archery and conjure probably need to invest in armor?)

 

hmm probably some conjures to distract them like illusions, froze them or I dunno a shield?

I cant tell since im playing skyrim as a warrior with axe+shield since I noticed most of the enemies run towards you desperately to kill you lol, since I dont like running I prefer the shield + axe

=) add me on steam though so we can compare gameplays

 

nope, its region
you buy an account on the sever, so that US one will set you to play on us server with the us client and the acct you make will be on US

 

Fresh batch of deals, nothing for me but i am sure someone will be interested in deal island at 50% off or Deus Ex at 50% as well.

 

Just bought F.E.A.R. Bundle I've had FEAR 1. But was waiting for this deal as I knew it'd come soon! 50% FEAR 2 and 3 FTW. Time to see the beautiful Alma <3

 

i loved FEAR 1 and 2, but fear 3... i dunno it just didn't tickle my fancy... somehow not feeling right

 

Yeah. I've had to have incentive to play FEAR and now I have incentive Played through FEAR 1 more than half way so far in a day. Loving it.

 

i'm just curious, but does The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut use steam cloud sync? i haven't finished playing it earlier, and i doubt i'd finish it in 1 go without a pause to another game... i love how HL2 uses it and keeps em safe, but there don't seem to be an obvious indication which games use it...

 

Typically a game that uses it will say "Syncing" after you close it. Like I know Trine uses it.

 

Does the game runs good? I have the R2, and for $2.50 is a good price...

 

Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® /XP/Vista
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (included) or higher
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or Athlon 64 +2800 (Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 +3000 recommended). Athlon XP series, such as the Athlon XP +2400, is not supported
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or ATI Radeon 9800 or better (NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX or ATI Radeon X1950 XT or better recommended)
Memory: 1 GB RAM (2 GB RAM recommended)
Sound: DirectX version 9.0c-compatible sound card
Hard Drive: 15 GB Free

i am sure it will run fine. So anyone knows if it uses the sync?

 

No, I switched harddrives after playing and all my saves were gone

 

True, I just got the game and the little cloud icon for games that support it, is not in that game....

And about the game, I get a BSOD when I try to run it, let me check what is the problem...

 

God what a dumb batch of games.... The only one that even looks half-way appealing is Dead Space 2... and even then not so much.

Maybe the christmas sale will be better?

 

There is a point in steam when you already got most good games or games you want, that each sale most of the games are stuff you don´t want...

I remember my first steam sale, I got like 15 games, the second I got like 10, the third I got like 5, this one I got only 2 games, I expect to buy 2-3 games in the Xmas sale...

 

I did the same thing. Last year's christmas sale cleaned me out. I probably dropped 100 bucks easy just on games alone.

 

Fable series are fun, and dead space rest deals are indeed crap... I haven't even seen anyone playing magic the gathering, how is that worth paying for lol...

I do agree, nothing worth anything today really, with exception of Dead Space and fable.

 

The magic game is quite fun if you ever played and had any real interest in the game. I played it years ago back in middle school and some of high school and got the game on steam for a few bucks and it was well worth whatever I spent on it. It's a fun little card game to around with when you're bored and play some magic against the computer or even online. I would never start playing real magic again but for 5-10 bucks you get a crap ton of decks and can play against people online in addition to the computer. It's a good game if you've ever played magic.

 

I Do agree , but maybe it's cause i already own most of the good Deal ...

Today i was disapointed for ex ( like other day i should say ) , but i already have Dead Space and Magic , which are the best today.

 

I think Cities XL 2012 is worth getting. Just my opinion though...

 

oK So seems like sale is over. was a bit of a disappointment... Only purchase i am happy with is the cossacks pack.

Anyways cheers all, hopefully next sale is better
