Some amazing deals. Unfortunately most of them are for games that I've already played (Portal 2, the Rockstar games) or ones that I have no interest in.

For anyone that missed out on some of these gems though, buy buy buy!

these guys made it happen, yes!

[Asiantastic]

Finally, took them long enough.

Time to spend some monies

[clipse026]

Just the Shogun 2 dlc for me today. I own everything else that's interesting.

[Anti Hero]

I can't get in :(

[Qwyjibo]

Getting Blinding of Isaac. Haven't played it before.

[clipse026]

Probably getting nothing. I was hoping for The Darkness 2 to win (@4.99) that vote but of course AC:R won. Who the hell plays Assassins Creed on Pc? :facepalm

Hopefully Metro 2033 pulls through this next one.

[EnoughSaid]

I have a shitty PC as far as gaming goes, so sucks that I won't be able to take advantage of this. :(

[clipse026]

I hope someone else bought Saints Row when it was on sale. It is ****ing hilarious :lol . Screwing around in co-op campaign with a friend and we're crying laughing.

[Kungfro]

Getting Blinding of Isaac. Haven't played it before.

Cool game. I finally beat the mom, got lucky and started getting some really good gear. Last 3 floors ended up being easy.

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4295/beatqm.png

edit: guess you can go even farther after you beat the game the first time. Shame I couldn't do it with that set up.

[clipse026]

Also the moment I've been waiting for. Killing Floor 4.99 Flash deal :cheers:

[Qwyjibo]

Dead Space 2 won the community vote so I grabbed that. I really liked Dead Space but just never around to playing the second one.

love the dead space games. i have a friend who literally cant play it alone in the dark.

cant wait for the third one, sounds like the co-op mode will be quite good

[DeuceWallaces]

Day three looks good. I've always loved Mount and Blade, Saints Row may be fun, and I haven't done Walking dead yet. ****ing MMO's always taking up my time.

[Maniak]

What bundle pack should I get? I want to get a big bundle by the end of the sale but don't know what one to get.

I have like no games at all on steam, so list in order of goodness.

Depends what you're looking to get into. If you want RPGs, definitely pick up the Bethesda Pack. With games like Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim, it'll definitely keep you entertained for a long time.

The Ubisoft and 2K packs are pretty good too imo.

[clipse026]

I'd probably go with 2k or ubisoft personally. I wasn't a fan of any of the Bethesda games. Too much to do with such a bland, boring story.
Also sega for all the total war games.

[Anti Hero]

No Command and Conquer: Generals!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Maniak]

Think I'm going to buy train simulator 2012

thinking of company of heroes as well.

[ukballer]

Grand Theft Auto complete package all for

[Cherry Picker]

GTAs for a fiver got copped

[Kungfro]

I would consider getting the Carpe Fulgur collection if I didn't already own all of them. Recettear was fantastic, Fortune Summoners is a fun metroidvania style game and is pretty damn hard. I wouldn't get Chantelise though, it wasn't that great.

[Qwyjibo]

Just Cause 2 at $4 was too good to turn down.

[AznTacoLover]

ahh GTA IV trio pack, or Dragon Age Origins help quickly please :lol

[stalf]

ahh GTA IV trio pack, or Dragon Age Origins help quickly please :lol

dragon age. get ultimate edition for a extra 2.50. game is amazing, after you complete it all, mods. da1 > da2

[AznTacoLover]

It's made by Bioware pretty good developers and I loved the mass effect trilogy I'll give it a try thanks!

[Qwyjibo]

Dragon Age Origins was awesome. I liked it more than Skyrim. It's unfortunate that Dragon Age 2 sucked. The ultimate edition is definitely worth a buy.

This guy knows whats up. It was way more fun than Skyrim but not as good as The Witchers. Dragon Age 2 however was probably the biggest gaming letdown for me in the last 10 years :cry: .

I totally agree. I couldn't believe what they did with DA2. It felt like such a lazy and rushed game. And the thing is that I still played through the entire damn thing because I had faint hope that it would get better. Also, I figured there would be more games in the series so I wanted to know the full story. And in the end, the overall story seemed fairly irrelevant anyways.

There have been TONS of great user-made mods for DAO that make it worthwhile to revisit the game for anyone who played it when it first came out.

[stalf]

DA2 is a piece of shit, got maybe half through it. played da:o and dlcs like 4-5 times

[Asiantastic]

Just a heads up, today ArmA2 goes on sale for 40%, so if anyone wanted to play DayZ, here's your chance.

It's also going standalone in September so might want to wait for that.

[jaydacris]

just cause 2 for 3.74.

sure why not :lol

bastion looks kinda cool

[Clippersfan86]

Been wanting to try that game. My problem with Steam is the massive download size and my internet connection is only 11 MBPS

[clipse026]

Bastion is excellent. I got it for like $5.50 as part of the last Humble Bundle. Worth the full 15.

[Qwyjibo]

Agreed.

Bastion was one of the best games I played last year. I liked it even more than big-name games like Skyrim. The story-telling is what keeps you playing. Great gameplay with a cool progression of rewards (new weapons, upgrades), a really nice and touching story even with a limited number of characters and the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a video game.

It's a must play.

EDIT: Also, Bastion is a game that just gets better in my mind as time goes on and I re-visit it. I honestly think it will end up being one of my favourite games of all-time.

[jaydacris]

convinced.
bastion bought

[Clippersfan86]

I may buy Bastion as well...

[Nanners]

It's also going standalone in September so might want to wait for that.

i find it very hard to believe that dayz will be ready to be standalone in september.

[clipse026]

Dont shoot the messenger. I heard September was the expected date. They're going the minecraft route with releasing it in alpha and then going from there.

bump for 2013 steam summer sale

http://images.vg247.com/current//2013/07/steam-summer-gateway-sale.jpg

[BoogieWoogieMan]

It's that time again...

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2khWACLd9JI/UWkfnl2GtEI/AAAAAAAAA2I/rBdV51relgw/s1600/Steam+Summer+Sale+2013.jpg

[Kungfro]

Antichamber was a real cool game, totally worth 7 bucks.

[intrinsic]

Call of Juarez looks like it could be fun, but it's still 10 bucks. I'm conditioned to pay less than 6.xx for a full game, and much less for something like hotline miami.* The Humble bundle has out shined steam sales for almost going on a year for me.

*hm is awesome. the presentation is, uh, aggrerssive, yet the core of the game is some pretty solid fun for a couple of hours. maybe more. http://youtu.be/qqS51B4sdGc (if you like games, tb is a pretty honest dude when you're out there sifting out the decent stuff through the piles of shit, I'd rec his videos/reviews/whatever.)

[Bucket_Nakedz]

stupid fukking community vote. borderlands 2 been dirt cheap since last winter and they voted to have it on sale again instead of dishonored which hardly ever came under 20 bucks. i know steam has it for 18 dollars as of right now, but i would have instantly bought for $10. hopefully it will come around

[Al Thornton]

just cause 2 for $3 is impossible to pass up.

[intrinsic]

just cause 2 for $3 is impossible to pass up.

Fun game. The story has been done to death in video games, but the gameplay itself is a great time. I had to break down and buy a 360 controller to play it on pc.

I'll probably get Anno today. There's AOE2 HD, but I think I'd rather get Brave New World for Civ V.

[Qwyjibo]

Only bought Sleeping Dogs so far. Probably not too much else out there that I don't already have.

Hoping for Rogue Legacy to go on sale but it's a brand new release so that's doubtful.

[clipse026]

CS:Go and Antichamber for me so far. There's really nothing else left to buy anymore. I still don't understand this trading card thing :lol .

[intrinsic]

I'm one of the 6 steam users who hasn't played New Vegas. Game + all dlc for $5? I'm in.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

so far, borderlands 2 dlc (psycho pack and additional skins), hotline:miami and nba 2k13 as i only spent 15 bucks. im only buying what i know ill play. waiting on dishonored. anybody play dota 2? never played mmo, but is it worth it to try? has anyone tried the new company of heroes 2?

[El Kabong]

Since I have most of the older games on sale this year, i've only gotten Bioshock Infinite, Resident Evil 6 and Tomb Raider. I was a sucker and got Borderlands 2, Saints Row 3, Sleeping Dogs and Hitman: Absolution when they came out. Still waiting for Dishonoured to be on sale.

[LJJ]

Hoping for Rogue Legacy to go on sale but it's a brand new release so that's doubtful.

Isn't it on sale right now? 20% off.

[Qwyjibo]

It is. Hoping for higher. But again, unlikely.

I can't believe people actually buy these Steam trading cards with real money. I'm selling most of the ones I earn and putting that towards buying games.

What are you supposed to do with them things anyway?

[Qwyjibo]

What are you supposed to do with them things anyway?
Craft badges and make your profile pretty, I guess. I'm just selling them.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

copped dishonored w/dlc and deus ex hr for tree dollaz. couldn't pass dat up.

[jaydacris]

Yep , got deus ex. Also just got allan wake for tree dorras

[El Kabong]

Got all the DLC I was missing for Civilization V for $5. Mirrors Edge for $3 as well.

[Jameerthefear]

Can someone get me Receiver? :(

[intrinsic]

That was fun. Those trading cards transformed steam into diablo for 2 weeks.

[Qwyjibo]

The only badge I crafted was the one for the sale to boost me to level 10. Sold everything else. I'm still selling all the cards I earn.

[intrinsic]

I didn't even bother with that once I learned what the rewards were. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $11 for selling all of my cards. Not bad.

[Anti Hero]

Just checked out my steam, saw you guys talking about cards and badges.. I have a few from Crusader Kings II, what's the deal with these things?

[intrinsic]

Games "drop" cards. Really, all that means is, launch a game and leave it open for a few hours and you'll find those cards in your inventory. You can play the game if you want, it doesn't matter after launching it.

Badges are crafted from those cards. Badges, as far as I can tell, reward stuff like profile backgrounds and vanity items like that. Alternatively, you can sell your cards on the marketplace for between 11-50 cents.

I also noticed "the bigger picture" it was almost like the Steam application became an interactive tutorial thing like when you buy a new computer..

Thanks for clearing that up, would rep.

Also, how do you make the badges, I clicked on the cards but all I could do was zoom in and then zoom in some more.

[intrinsic]

I didn't craft one, but I'm guessing you click the area where it has the badge name and XP.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

last thing i got was trine 2 for tree dollaz again. ive only been selling badges that i have extra. id give it away for free but steam wont allow, so ive been selling it at .03 cents and getting back a 1.

You should check the market first and then undercut the price by 1 cent. So If I see one selling for $0.15, I put it up for 0.12 or so and it gets listed at 0.14 (Valve takes a cut of it). People are nuts. Every card I've put up has sold within 1 minute.

[Anti Hero]

Anybody got any recommendations for a good real time strategy game on Steam.

[Maniak]

**** yeah i made 26 cents today by playing a game of csgo

im going to try to play enough to pay for some keys to open up those stupid crates i've gotten in tf2.

[clipse026]

Finally got around to playing Civ 5 after buying it 2 sales ago. God damn it's addicting. I beat a tiny map on easy after like 13 hours and maxing every single tech tree and like 5 of the policies. Pretty damn fun. I love the "wait one more turn" option, and I of course clicked it. I had a nuke to use that I didn't want to waste. :pimp:

13 hours? You'll work your way up to 13 days. Only half joking about this.

Also, all of the advisers are *****. Don't follow their advice if you want to move up the difficulty settings.

Has anyone here tried the Star Trek online game. It's free to play.

Yep, I'll take credit for that.

Left for Dead 2 is free on Steam right now.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Picked it up. Not my type of game by free is free.

Also a bunch of indie game: FTL, Papers Please, Rogue Legacy, King Arthur's Gold, and Hotline Miami. Bought Brothers a week ago. Beautiful looking game.

[Qwyjibo]

I picked up State of Decay and I'm surprised that this was the first time I really heard about this game. It's rough around the edges (clipping and some glitches) but the gameplay and mechanics of it are quite good.

Have been playing through it lately. Extremely fun and addicting

It looks like free L4D2 killed the servers for a while. Having trouble connecting to see today's sales.

I'm in European timezone and the Steam store has been down most of the day for the last 2-3 days for me. Fortunately most of the things I'd be interested in I already have, but still annoying.

[El Kabong]

NBA 2k14 for 50% off. Not bad.

[Bandito]

NBA 2k14 for 50% off. Not bad.
But it is not the next gen version though...

[JimmyMcAdocious]

It's on.

Dayz, Witcher 2, FARCRY 3, XCOM, Payday 2, Skyrim, Half-Life Complete, and others going right now.

Haven't bought anything yet.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Anyone get anything?

Copped Awesomenauts, BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers, Monaco, and Risk of Rain thus far.

Monaco is pretty awesome. Haven't tried the others yet, tho I have Castle Crashers in the 360 arcade.

[LJJ]

FTL is on sale right now, that's an amazing game.

[miller-time]

I ended up buying Skyrim. I'm not a big RPG fan so I never really worried too much about it. It is a decent game but a bit over rated. Both the gameplay and the graphics already seem a bit dated. It looks like it could have come out in 2006 or 7 really. But it should keep me occupied for a week or two I think.

You have an idea of what kind of build you're going to go with? I found assassin to be the most enjoyably for me, and most overpowered later on in the game.

Just warrior I think. I don't have a lot of experience with these types of games so I'm basically just going through the motions at this point. Last rpg I played was FFX on ps2 lol.
