    Anything my PC can handle. So basically anything before 2003 LOL.

    What!? But I'm not ready!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,932 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Another sale? Bit odd considering Christmas sale will be on late December.

    No, too soon, too soon. Already spent 80 euro on PC games this month and now a Steam sale. Hopefully it's as crap as the Halloween sale which is the first time in years when I didn't buy a single thing in a Steam sale.

    Perfect timing. I only have 180 Steam games play through at the moment.

    for once there are actually no games I want this time around, still playing the last batch I got in the summer sale


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,124 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    I suppose I'll pick up The Walking Dead now that episode five is out (hear that Valve? Episode five). It's been reduced to €15 a couple of times in the past, so it'll probably be that price again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Probably gonna give this sale a miss, got enough games clogging up the place, just bought a PSP today and got AC3 and Lego LoTR shipping Friday.

    *strokes credit card* There there, little one, your safe....for now!!!!

    Same here, but i can assure you i'll end up buying stuff i would never normally buy anyway, same as the summer sale..

    So, Christmas presents or steamgifts? heh

    Mightn't be since it was only reduced a month ago for the Halloween sale.

    Not sure I'll bother getting anything in this. Don't get paid until next week, so dont have a lot of money atm anyway, but there's nothing that I really want. I'm going to assume nothing new like Dishonoured or XCom gets reduced, and Anno 2070 hasn't moved down in price yet. After that, maybe CS:GO or KOTOR 2 if they're reduced decently

    Likely too soon for anything from like XCOM or Dishonoured to be reduced significantly. Torchlight II looks interesting and is strongly rumoured to have a good % off.

    For some reason we couldn't download Episode 3 via Steam. :)

    I'll just play the wait and see game. They may hold off on most of their stuff until Christmas, but at the same time I can see some big discount on Friday.

    Would like to see Borderlands 2 as it now has a Mac client.

    EDIT: Scratch that, just picked it up for £13.99 from Simplygames.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    I remember they had it around this time last year too. You'd think they'd just have a longer sale around Hallowe'en rather than at the end of November, what with the Christmas sale starting three weeks after this one ends.

    Would like to see Dawnguard and Dishonored


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 206 ✭✭Elysian


    Torchlight II will be going on sale, sweet :Dhttp://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2012/11/16/happy-thanksgiving/


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    Dishonored is already down to £17.86 from Shopto.net and it supports Steamworks.

    Awesome, seems the graphics card on my Macbook specifically isn't supported. Means I can't buy it even with that shiny Apple symbol :pac:

    (this is good as I have a mountain of games to get through and have literally just finished downloading the original)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    Used to love the word "steam sale", doesnt carry the same weight when you have a large percentage of the steam library.

    I still haven't even started once batman Arkham city, which I bought on summer sale ( still installed and sitting, waiting ). Plus another 10-20 games that I bought on last summer sale are not even downloaded, so yeah... Around hundreds of games to be played.

    So a few more games to get in to my library and never ever play:

    Sleeping dogs
    Anno
    Xcom ( don't expect it to drop a lot though )
    Maybe few indies


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,004 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Noooooooo not another sale


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,128 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Think I downloaded like 2 games from the 20 i bought last time round, will hold my money till something arrives thats a must have.

    Picked up Ass Creed II, Ass Bro and Ass Rev yesterday from Amazon Ass for €20 in total.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,055 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I'll probably pick up a few things, and not play them for a while. For the price of some of the games, it's definitely worth it, even if you don't plan on playing them immediately.

    Fixed that for you.

    Does anyone else feel that Steam spends more time in sale mode than normal mode these days!

    Unless theres something I really want, ill give it a miss


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,010 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    if the skyrim dlc's are there I'll probably grab them.

    the key they send you is steam compatible right? sorry it's just that i've never bought just a key before :D

    edit nevermind, i actually read their product description, game now downloading at 4.0 MB/s now :pac: thanks for the heads up on the price.
