    The Steam sale and other bargains thread

    I was about to call it the Steam sale thread after the old one but with the likes of GOG, GMG, etc. that was a bit restrictive.

    Still, it's Steam which shall be kicking us off as Warner Brothers have got a sale on on Steam.

    Highlights:

    Shadow of Mordor - £12
    Arkhams Asylum, City and Origins - £3.74 each
    Bastion - £2.74
    Lego Marvel - £3.74
    Lego Batman + 2 - £3.74
    A load of other Lego games - various reductions


    Plus others which I don't give a shit about.

    The current Humble Bundle is terribly tempting and has a little over 10 hours left

    https://www.humblebundle.com/

    Basically a whole host of Total War game for about a tenner. Despite owning all of them already I'm sorely tempted to get it for Rome 2 alone.

    I picked up Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie on the DS for £4.99. I was a big fan of Dragon Warrior Monsters on the GBC and I love RPGs so I couldn't not pick it up.

    The Warner Bros sale is also on Xbox this week and no doubt the PS Store too, so check those out as well.

    Steam sale

    I don't think we've got a thread for Steam's sales, do we?

    They've got a Halloween one on now, mostly featuring 'scary' games.

    I'm pretty tempted by Dead State and Neo Scavenger. Anyone played these?

    One here: http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showth...argains-thread

    I didn't call it the Steam thread because there's so much going on with Humble, GOG and various other games sites. Maybe for searching purposes I should have put Steam in the title but it won't let me edit it.

    I played a bit of the Neo Scavenger demo and enjoyed it, I'd also quite like Dyling Light which is half price to £20 in that. But given I've just spent a chunk on Far Cry 4 and Rocket League I'd probably better kerb my spending until the Christmas sale.

    Ah, yeah, so there is. If a mod could move this into that thread please, that'd be great. Thank you.

    I posted a link for you the other day to CD Keys where Dying Light was only £12.99.

    Wait, £13.99. Here - http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/dying...c-cd-key-steam

    I'll keep an eye out mainly because I don't think Footy Manager will be fun to live stream for a period of time.

    And change the title to what I tried to change it to as well, if we can please.
    The Steam sale and other bargains thread

    I'll tag @phonics and @ItalAussie in here to draw their attention.

    if you haven't got it yet - Crusader Kings II is £5.99 for the basic game, and £25 for the "Collection". Just don't be fooled, the Collection isn't 100% of the DLC. Asshats.

    Paradox have an annoying habit of messing you around like that.

    Is there anything else good in the sale? Not that I need more games, but I've been pretty underwhelmed by what's wandered across the featured and top selling lists.

    Crypt of the Necrodancer is meant to be very good in spite of/because of its strange rhythm-action-rogue-lite style. Gunpoint is well worth £3 if you don't have it already, Broforce looks ace as well.

    Haven't dug through the whole list though.

    Broforce gets boring very fast and then is over. Unless you've got mates willing to couch co-op it, don't bother.

    If you haven't got them then;

    Bioshock Triplepack is a fiver.
    Payday2 under a fiver.
    Stalker games less than a fiver (Triplepack bundled for a tenner)
    Dragonfall £3
    Hotline Miami £2
    Divinity Triplepack £4

    Otherwise most major named brands are 10 to 30% off at most.

    If you're buying Payday 2 (everyone fucking should it's great), then buy the GOTY edition which comes with most of the DLC for £7.49.

    I bought Neo Scavenger and Dead State in the end. I played the Neo Scavenger demo first and decided it was worth it. Hadn't tried Dead State though so I'm going into it blind. Anyone played it? Is it any good?

    GOG sale.

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015...gog-fall-sale/

    Pillars of Eternity at £18 isn't half tempting.

    There's also a sale at http://www.gog.com/

    Tempted by the Star Trek pack, I have great nostalgia for the old point and click ones.

    Having the day off work, today of all days, has been terrible for me. I picked up:

    Until Dawn - £18.49 from Amazon
    The Witcher III - £23.99 from Base
    Metal Gear Solid 5 - £26.50 from Amazon

    all in the sale. The missus is going to kill me.

    Just paid something like £6.80 for GTA: Vice City (I never did complete that one), Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2, the Original Worms and Rollercoaster Tycoon.

    What a fucking weekend this is.

    The knowledge that literally every game in history will be on sale at least 4 times a year these days means I'm pretty good at avoiding event sales now. Sure, it's £6 now, but it'll be £3.75 in 3 years when I actually get around to wanting to play it.

    The Witcher 2 being on sale again for the third time in a month says as much. Oh, Dark Souls for a fiver. Already have it on PS3 but running at 60FPS would be nice.

    Dark Souls and Walking Dead bought for under a tenner. I can get shot of my physical copy of Dark Souls.

    May continue my 'replace physical with digital on the cheap' mandate. Or just skip Bastion for the 17th time in a year. With AGDQ coming in January, there'll be a humble bundle for that as well.

    I'll consider any of:

    Wasteland 2
    TW Rome 2 & Attila
    Pillars of Eternity
    Undertale
    The two Interplay Star Trek games

    plus whatever else tickles my fancy.

    Any of my current wishlist (Phantom Pain, Kentucky Route Zero, Game of Thrones, 80 days and Pillars of Eternity) are all on my radar.

    Definitely not all of them, though...

    Lol, KY0 is apparently only 3/5ths done still. The original plan was all 5 episodes by fall 2013.

    Still gonna hold off on that then.

    Both Borderlands are up. I'm looking at the Bethesda stuff and realising I'll never play Skyrim or Fallout again. I might just purge them off my shelf and grab them on a whim if I ever decide otherwise.
