Steam Summer Sale
 
Though who use Steam probably already know about the Steam Summer Sale that is going on right now. If not, take a peek at their site: Welcome to Steam

Basically from now until the 23th of this month, Steam's going to offer a bunch of deals on most of their titles.

So far, I've only bought one game which I've been wanting since its release: Ys Origin. It was 60% off which made it $7.99 though this is just a flash deal that won't last the entire sale. I think once the flash deal is over, you can still get it for 50%. I also had a friend gift me a copy of The Witcher 2 which I'm really looking forward to playing. :)

What deals have you picked up? Or if you're still waiting for a good one, what games are you hoping to see on sale?

The Steam Summer Sale is just far too attractive this year. I'll surely be holding a funeral for my bank account.

So far I've purchased:
Max Payne 3
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
Fallout: New Vegas
Spec Ops: The Line
Left 4 Dead 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2
Tropico 3

I'm thinking of purchasing Alan Wake, Space Marine, Anno 2070, Binding of Isaac, Borderlands, Witcher 2, Doom 3, Return to Castle Wolftenstein, Rage, Beyond Good and Evil, Singularity (if it goes does more), GTA IV, Bioshock 2, Battlefront 2, The Witcher, Terraria, Max Payne Bundle, Audiosurf, Braid, Mass Effect 2, Company of Heroes, Metro 2033, Mirror's Edge, Limbo, Far Cry 2, Just Cause 2, Oblivion, Alice The Madness, Crysis 2, Sim City 4, Darkness II, Hard Reset, Dead Space 2, Cities XL 2012, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, and probably more... so many games! Too many to buy, too many to play.

This will be the last time my bank account will be able to buy games for quite awhile. Especially with a new drift/autocross car on the way.

Needless to say, this year's Summer Sale is super enticing.

Ooh I love a sale me! Okay so I've bought: NFS Hot Pursuit, two years and I finally got round to it xD The whole S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, much love for these games! And Saints Row: The Third :) I plan to get DLC for SR3 but all of it is £35 and that's at discount O_O" I plan to buy more if I see somthing I like I have Dirt 3 and Garry's Mod on my wish list so I'm going to see if they come down in price further :)

This sale is pretty evil. I haven't seen too much yet for me, but I did purchase four games on my wishlist that were on sale, and already I am eyeing Trine 2 since it's only 2 something. I really can't just keep buying regardless of sales, but it's so cheap.... ugh...[headdesk]
The games I got were: HOARD, The Binding of Isaac and the DLC pack for it, Divine Divinity and Legend of Grimrock.



Liztress 07-17-2012 02:21 PM

My final shopping list:

Ys: Origin
Alice: Madness Returns
Ys: The Oath in Felghana

I had some friends gift me The Witcher 2, Dear Ester, and Tobe's Vertical Adventure.

Admonish Misconstruction 07-17-2012 02:38 PM

This sale is driving me batty. I just bought Rage, Metro 2033, Age of Empires III: Complete Collection, F.E.A.R Collection, Red Faction: Guerrilla, and Mirror's Edge. I bought too many, I think that's really just the point. There's just some absolutely amazing deals of games I've either really enjoyed, really want to play, or never finished. Poor bank account, I knew the well.

Well I might as well start downloading these games while I'm at work. Metro 2033 and Rage, you're up first.

I must be strong and keep myself from buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I've had some people speak highly of the game. NFS Hot Pursuit is a lot of fun and Garry's Mod is worth every penny.

I think the Steam Sale is sentient. It knows your weaknesses and targets them accordingly.

Have you played Legends of Grimrock yet?

I wish someone would gift me Witcher 2.... x3 I am being reminded of so many more great games that are out there! Dear Ester is something I'm going to have to pick up before sale's end.

That... makes so much sense it's actually scary. Because I cracked and got Trine 2 after trying the demo... and now today there was a 'flash sale' and I had 10 minutes to choose if I liked Dungeon Siege 3... there was a demo, but no time, and it was 75% off... I ended up getting the collector's one or whatever instead with DS 1,2,3 and a DLC pack for like 7 bucks.
I'm... not going to open Steam for a while... or else I'll see som--
Oh look, Limbo is 75% off now...
T_T;

Ah, and no I haven't yet. A friend of mine got it to though, and they said it's amazing. Did warn me that difficultly ramps up since they suddenly got stuck... so I'm probably going to do horribly when I get around to playing it.

Steam's a manipulative thing. Hold on, I have to buy GTA IV. Anyways, I wonder how much money Steam makes during their summer sale. I sure hope their marketing gets paid well.

Wait, what, really? That's a great deal.

Dammit.

Steam did it again.

I'm going to go read more about it methinks. It does look a lot like Skyrim. Which isn't exactly a bad thing.

I was pleasantly surprised that he had gifted it to me. And yeah, there's been a lot of great sales. xD

I started to get them before the sale but I just knew that once I did, the sale would start and they would be cheap.

Grumman_Goose 07-18-2012 11:45 PM

Grumman_Goose 07-19-2012 09:57 AM

Thanks you Liztress! I just got it :) I looked at L4D for a while but I keep thinking I'll be crap at it! I like Borderlands, cell block shading (nom) and I actually don't suck at it I just shoot anything that moves! I have Terraira but I'm not sure what the others are about :/

The Roze 07-19-2012 03:29 PM

I managed to grab Deus Ex: Human Revolution while it was 75% off, for £4.99 :D
I haven't bought anything else in the sale yet though, because I really need to finish the games I already have

Grumman_Goose 07-19-2012 10:04 PM

I love Dues Ex! But i'm stuck :gonk:

It's an endless parade of wonderful sales.

"Self, will I ever play this game?"
"Perhaps, you thought it looked interesting. And, you know it's such a great price... I mean, $5? That's a great deal."
"Yeah, you're right. I might as well."

And before you it you're living on a street corner. At least you have hundreds of games in your Steam library.

What Liztress said, Borderlands is a especially enjoyable co-op experience!

Portal 2 is fantastic, it's a ton of fun with a friend.
Sniper Elite V2 is co-op, if that sort of game interests you.
Dead Island is a co-op game as well.

I know how you feel D: I really need to finish the games I already have.

But I keep buying! When I need to finish games, like Dues Ex: HR.

Grumman_Goose 07-20-2012 06:38 PM

I've got portal 2 much love for it! I got it free on steam cus I bought the Ps3 version I might get sniper elite but I suck at shooting games so I probably won't get it I just get rapid fire guns and spray thats my main tactic but mainly use pistols in games that use shooting and my friend has dead island but I'm not really sure about it :/

The Roze 07-20-2012 08:31 PM

Portal 2 is one of the best games ever made, in my opinion. I really hope they make a Portal 3 :)

Grumman_Goose 07-20-2012 11:01 PM

Unfortunately Valve can't count to three ;)

The Roze 07-21-2012 07:27 AM

Well they're making Halflife 3... Or so they say ^^

Grumman_Goose 07-21-2012 06:34 PM

oh really? cus apparently all the rumours are fake cus Valve has denied any claims about HL3? :/

The Roze 07-21-2012 07:49 PM

Oh, maybe I'm misinformed then... >.<
I don't even remember where I heard it from, I think my brother told me.

Grumman_Goose 07-22-2012 01:14 PM

hahaha who knows? it might be a PR thing then BAM! HL3 on the shelves we'll never know? :P

Admonish Misconstruction 07-22-2012 05:42 PM

We've been waiting for Half Life 3 since Episode 2! Of course Valve has said this and this So it seems like we'll see it when we see it. D:

I want Half Life 3! Or Episode 3, either one.

I bought some games that I shouldn't have, Limbo, Binding of Isaac, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, SimCity 4 Deluxe, Red Faction: Armageddon, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Pssssh, I've been a bad x3.

Grumman_Goose 07-22-2012 06:16 PM

admonished nonsense: add me on steam I have NFS HP too! :)

Also it end's today! :cry: *plays sad music*
