Steam Halloween sale!

Comments

    Some very nice deals!

    Murdered: Soul Suspect is €9.99 and that was only released a couple of months ago...

    The sale isn't limited to scary/Halloween-type titles either. Plenty on offer from a wide range of genres!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    I've been itching for Transistor, but I don't think I can justify buying it just yet, haven't even played Bastion :eek:

    I've accumulated way too many games over the last year that I've not played


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,515 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    No dailies or flash sales? pff what kind of sale be this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,761 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    A pretty tame one tbh, doesnt help that i already own all the interesting ones already :/


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,768 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    Well looks like my very sparse wallet might get a fright this season.

    Honestly, the whole UI change thing has really put me off, it's just a list. Normally I'd be all OMG, look at all these wonderful highlights! But nope.

    Some good things alright, but such a mess to navigate


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,768 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    Unfortunately two ones I'd be interested in: Gaunlet and Gabriel Knight are not present. If there is any bellweather for spooky games the latter would be it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭jcrowbar


    Battleblock Theatre down from €15 to €3.74. That's me very happy :)

    I nearly bought it off G2Play yesterday for €12. Glad I waited!

    Should I wait to buy DayZ and see if it will go on a flash sale or buy it for 19e on g2a?

    Game is not in a great state at the moment. Fairly broken in many ways. If i was you i would buy Arma 2 complete and play the mod. Pick up DayZ standalone down the road. Its not going up in price anytime soon imo,its to broken. But if you have your heart set on getting it the most ive seen off on Steam is 15%,so would say g2a is probably a better bet if your comfortable buying from there.

    Spot on. Scrolling through the list gets boring and annoying. They need better layout fo sales, something like they had before!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,549 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Still have to see the layout for a proper sale since they changed things. This sale is just like the weeklong sales.

    But overall, I don't like the new UI anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Nothing on my wishlist is on sale (apart from a miserable €2 off Ethan Carter). Oh well....


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,276 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I've spent way too much on games lately, so i won't be buying anything in this sale. I agree about the UI change as well...just doesn't grab you like it used to.

    That is just the BEST game, so much fun, try and get a friend a play co-op if you have PC MP functionality :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    I bought Blackguards for about €13. 66% off. Fun so far.

    Why the **** do I not own Vampire the Masquerade.

    Well there's something I just fixed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,293 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I'm not even going to open steam to look at the sale, so there!

    Great game. The unofficial patch is worth a look. It fixes some of the bugs and the as is copy can have issues running on w7/8.

    Don't forget the unofficial patch, fixes a lot of the bugs and restores parts of the game that were never finished on release

    Same, the lack of the usual trading card/public voting stuff failed to trick me into parting with my money this time around. I'm sure they'll get me in the Christmas one though.

    Barely could tell it was on tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭Falthyron


    This wasn't a 'real' Steam Sale, imo. A much more subdued affair to recognise Halloween with some discounts. I reckon Valve are conscious of over-saturating the platform with too many sales as that would reduce the effect of a Steam Sale.

    The Christmas sale be a much more full-on event.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,761 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    Hope it's done better than the halloween one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    I was hoping Dead State (zombies) would go on sale too but no dice.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,768 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    Sniper Elite I&II: the Nazi Zombie edition. Never enough prep for the undead apocalypse I say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    Ending up not buying anything this sale, a few items took my interest however but will wait until the Christmas sale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,234 ✭✭✭Patser


    Bought STALKER-Call of Pripyat.

    Sounds decent from feedback online, anyone play it?
