Steam Autumn Sale

Gotta be worth it for a quid though, no? Demo seemed reasonably fun, if a little frustrating.

That is so far from the truth, one look at today or yesterdays games is enough to prove that statement a load of old cobblers :confused:

Mass Effect, Portal, Fallout: New Vegas and loads of others fall into that category? :confused:

This. I really don't get what he was on about. There are some FANTASTIC games in the Steam sale. Cheap doesn't mean bad...

My point being there's nothing new here. Its the same games on sale everytime, guaranteed the GTA complete pack will come up yawn

Another thumbs up for Orcs Must Die.

New Vegas today for me.

Fingers crossed for Dirt 3 under a fiver!

Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road are all substantial additions whilst the other 2 are mainly new items and a few challenges.

New Vegas is a great bargain at that price. Completed it recently and really enjoyed it. With regards to the dlc I bought new Vegas + most of the dlc in the summer sale, I have never got round to touching the dlc as the game is so massive! I suggest you could hold off buying the dlc until you have made substantial progress in the main storyline. It is bound to be discounted in Christmas sale.

Tombo · 24 Nov 2011 at 19:47

The DLC is so cheap you may as well buy it now, OWB and Honest Hearts are well worth it imo, I've not played Lonesome Road yet so I can't say about that and Dead Money is a bit marmite.

L.A. Noire? MW3? Skyrim?

Name some games that you would like to see discounted then. From past experience nearlly every game will get discounted over the course of the sale, nothing boring about that.

Tombo · 24 Nov 2011 at 19:49

He wants a sale with only the new games from the last year, it will last a day and then be over.

Out of interest how long do they all take?

New Vegas is amazing..... that is such a bargain - everyone should get it at that price!

Well it's a Steamworks game so should be all fine.

Ahh, right. Wasn't sure if it was.

Off to buy some cheap DLC, then. Cheers.

thanks, well i didnt like 3 at all so wont like this then

A lot of people have the opposite opinion! I prefer nv has a better tone, better sense of humour, and more continuity with the originals. FAllout 3 is a decent game, but it is very dreary!

It's not like it will be any cheaper than 75% off. It was 75% off in the summer sale.
