As Thanksgiving nears, Steam's Autumn Sale has officially started. Offering multiple deals to be thankful for, such as, Assassin's Creed Odyssey (33% off), NeiR: Automata (50% off), Monster Hunter World (34% off), Shadow of The Tomb Raider (50% off) and Civilization VI Gold Edition (69% off) just to name a few. Even virtual reality titles like Doom VFR, Skyrim VR, and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality are now on sale for (50% off). That said, PC gamers can breathe a sigh of relief as the latest Steam sale will run from November 21st until November 27th at 10:00 AM Pacific. Meaning you have plenty of time to spend all your hard earned money, so open up your wallets and let the shopping spree begin.

Hell of a game and worth the price if your into that kind of thing, But don't blame me if the plot has you replaying it P. On top of that they still suppport the game with updates too in fact they just released one that adds even more content to it.

And as always, my bank decides to change some shit up when the Steam sale is on the way.
Last time they've had an issue where all Steam transactions were blocked due to double conversion issues (even though steam accepts UAH for a few years now)...
And then last night I found out that now you have to have a separate virtual card set up for foreign transactions over internet, which is weird cause only a couple of weeks ago I bought some games off my primary card.
It seems like I'll have to wait 'till Christmas sale to clear up half of my wishlist... :banghead:

Can't even remember the last time my wallet took a hit during a Steam sale, must be years ago now.

There's always a sale on elsewhere during the year to get stuff on the cheap.

Thumbs down!

They can do better then that! o_O

My first thought as well.

Its a new trick in the book you see widely employed: major discounts off the vanilla game, to coincide with a massively overpriced DLC or, new fashion buzzword 'expansion'...

Meanwhile, keysites have better offers all year round and Humble Bundle tops even that off by a margin. Steam should be pushing it much harder given their volume/sales potential.

Steam used to have better/more agressive sales a few years ago, back when flash sales were a thing. Those really were threats on the wallet. These days it's just okay sales, and with every other store doing sales or special deals all year, Steam sales kinda lost their significance and appeal for me.
They have Divinity 2 35% off, but they gave me a free 33% coupon out of the blue a few days ago (lost a few cents, not gonna bother).

Just picked up a few more copies of AoTS:E for team multiplayer games.

Nothing else caught my attention.

Played the first one and I enjoyed it. Kind of nostalgic really. Last turned based RPG I played before that was Icewind Dale II.
