Dark Souls port was bad mainly because of the internal rendering issue. But thanks to this mod the game now looks amazing rendered at high res.

The one word of warning I will give for DS for the PC is, the m/kb controls are pretty bad for it, one of the very few games I actually use a controller for on the PC.

Not really, Steam's Halloween sale isn't really special, at least with the 2 previous years. Basically just a few days/week of horror/scary type games being on sale at a fix % off price with no special daily deal.

I liked it but then again I liked the old games and it's a lot like them. Story? Eh. MP? Eh. Three different styles of gameplay and some fun mechanics? Yup. If that's worth 3.75 go for it.

List of last year:

There is a plus in that a lot of the horror-themed games that go on sale are priced lower than in the summer/winter sales. The selection isn't the best, but the prices are pretty good.

Is there a big Steam sale before the year is over?

I'm not sure if this is a joke...

I'm not joking.

I built my gaming PC last month, so I just started on my Steam library. I've purchased the majority of my games via GMG and Amazon DD thus far. I'm still not that familiar with whatever sales Steam has throughout the year aside from the Summer and this supposed Halloween sale.

The biggest sale of the year is the Winter sale that will be at the end of December/beginning of January. Lasts about 10 days.

My suggestion since you are just getting started is to look at steams big bundles, pick one or two, save for the winter sale, and buy them. During the winter sale those bundles can go for outrageous prices. I piecemealed it which is fine but not the cheapest way. With some googling you can find the sales from last year.

Steam has 2 big sales before the end of the year right now. First is the Black Friday one that they call the Autumn Sale. It is only for 5-7 days but is good and then we have the big daddy of them all, the Holiday Sale which last 10-14 days. Starts around Dec 20th and ends a few days into the new year.

Oh man, Horror Movie. Insta buy for me because it's probably shit .

There's a CAG in the trading forum selling Darksiders II Steam keys for $12. Just bought one and started downloading.

New to me. I will leave it to CAGs smarter and more aware than I to figure it out for me.

The new Indie Royale should arrive in a week, too... unless they start their Halloween bundle after Halloween!

I hope game 3 is Anna(the developers is Dreampainters :p)

Teasers for the Groupees Halloween bundle:

The Bundle of the Damned 5 Games Game 1 teaser: Retro, Rpg (Desura + Steam’s Greenlight) Game 2 teaser: It’s Cold (Steam) Game 3 teaser: Painted Dreams (Steam) Game 4 teaser: Can’t See (Desura) Game 5 teaser: After Dead (Steam) There will be a Horror movie in this bundle.

http://www.bemineslugs.com/2012/10/2...e-coming-soon/

So far, to me, Cryostasis (It's Cold) and BlindSide (Can't See) are sure bets. The retro RPG might be Breath of Death/Cthulhu. My guess for "Painted Dreams" would be Anna, because its developed by Dreampainters, however it's a somewhat new release on Steam so I don't know how likely that is.

EDIT: Breath of Death/Cthulhu confirmed NOT to be in the bundle by ShiftySlug.

EDIT #2: Added platforms (Steam/Desura)

EDIT #3: My updated guesses
1: Manor of the Damned (EXTREMELY likely)
2: Cryostasis (VERY likely)
3: Either Anna (developer is Dreampainters), or Drawn: The Painted Tower
4. BlindSide (EXTREMELY likely)
5: No idea
