2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[Dankk]

When you buy packs of games and make it tradeable, is it one tradeable pack that you get, or do they split out all the games you get in the pack and you can trade individual games?

They aren't split out. You'll just get 1 item in your inventory named "Total War Pack", "THQ Complete Pack", etc.

Would be cool if they separated into individual games though. There are a small number of packs that do let you gift extra copies of games if you already own them, which is kinda similar.

That said, VOTE FOR THE WITCHER 2 GUYS BATMAN SUCKS DICKS

It's nice how anti-gay speech is built into slang.

Does that mean Witcher 2 eats vaginas? Or is that bad too? What if a girl "sucks dicks"?

Or were you just telling us about some M-rated new Batman game where he's gay, and does things to Robin (and others, you said plural dicks)? Thanks for the uplifting language.

 

[Termie]

I'd vote for Witcher 2 but I can't log in!

BTW, I have Batman AC and it's great...

 

[EDUSAN]

what did you buy soccerman?

btw KaOtiK oh you god of steam... the flash deals/sales are safe to buy? or i shouldnt bother about them and wait for the final day?

terraria, portal 1/2 pack, dues ex pack

If you see a game at +75% off its a good idea to buy it if you want it.

I'd say the flash deals are safe, chances are they wont show up as a daily deal (would be a bit redundant imo)

I didn't intend to sound anti-gay. Sorry if I rustled your jimmies.

The Witcher 2 does, indeed, contain a fair amount of vagina-eating (or something close to it)

My buying has commenced...

Foreign Legion Buckets o Blood
Alien Breed 3

Understood Man, they really are expanding RPG skill trees.

Agh! Choplifter HD for only $2.49? There goes my first purchase. I wonder how many more hidden deals there are.

 

[dmoney1980]

in for Grimlock, voted for Witcher 2! I'm thinking about picking up Skyrim (was hoping to see it for $30)

Q: is Sins of the Solar Empire:Rebellion an expansion or a stand alone game? I'm introducing myself into this genre and I don't know where to start (maybe endless space instead?)

 

[Craig234]

Ubisoft collection is a great deal.

Includes 8 items: Beyond Good and Evil™, R.U.S.E.™, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™, Driver San Francisco, From Dust, Might & Magic® Heroes® VI, Assassin's Creed® Revelations, Rayman® Origins

$49.99

Good call on Grimrock.

SotSE has an original game, and then two expansions, packaged in 'Trinity'.

Rebellion adds the third and final planned expansion, and includes all the Trinity content, but is not compatible for multiplayer with Trinity.

 

[Craig234]

Some of the pricing gets frustrating:

Total War 2 + first DLC + second DLC is $19.99.

If you already bought Total War and the first DLC, the second DLC is $14.99.

So only $5 more for the original game and first DLC.

Or if you own the original game, the two DLC's are $17.49; original game only $2.49 more. Good deal for those who don't own any of them, though.

 

[Texashiker]

Actually it's been loading 100% fine for me.

Starting loading for me also.

Deals look good, but nothing I am interested in. Going to wait on skyrim to see if it goes down a little more.

The complete Bethesda Collection looks great, but I have no interest in brink.

Getting skyrim and the DLC for the fallout games is very tempting.

 

[darkewaffle]

Cave Story+ also on sale today individually and in the Indie Bundle, really spectacular throwback type game.

 

[KaOTiK]

A lot of possible hidden gems. If you pull up Steam in a browser and sort through by lowest price for games there are tons of games in the $1-$1.50 range and a lot 80+% off. Saw Pixeljunk Eden for $2 80% off for example

I jinxed myself; almost immediately after I posted that, I started getting several errors. I think it's slowly stabilizing now though.

FWIW, Brink's playerbase is next to nonexistent, and they're considering making it F2P.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Nothing for me today. Most of my wishlist games have discounts right now, but I'll wait to see if they get daily/flash deals - stuff like Skyrim, Rage, Space Marine, The Walking Dead, Quantum Conundrum, Trine 2, and Vessel.

Anybody know if the flash deals change every x hours or if they're just once a day (starting at 1pm eastern)? Seems like the voted game might start shortly after the voting ends, but I'm hoping that the flash deals only start at 1pm. I can't really be checking Steam every hour or two for the rolling flash deal expirations.

I'm thinking the flash sales are just done at 1pm EST each day when the daily deals are refreshed. The flash deal (the one people vote on) is changed every 8 hours it says.

would you recommend Rebellion as a good starting point into this genre?

 

[JujuFish]

Not even a small sale on Puzzle Quest 2. I might just have to suck it up and pay the whopping $10 for it. Poor me.

Fortunately, Trine 2 is already 50% off, which means it'll probably be 75% off if it hits a flash sale/daily deal. Guaranteed purchase now, just waiting to see if it goes down.

 

[Texashiker]

My son wanted brink, so I bought it for him. He was not very impressed. From watching the gameplay, there is no way I am going to invest any time into that game.

I do not want to buy a game I will probably never play, and that is where Brink is at.

But then again, I have fallout new vegas, getting skyrim and all of the new vegas DLC for $49,,, is real tempting.

Kinda disappointed that serious sam is not discounted more.

unreal pack is 50% off, going to wait for a higher discount before I buy.

Kinda disappointed there is not a complete elder scrolls package.

 

[Dankk]

Serious Sam goes on massive deep-discount literally ever major sale. Just wait for a daily deal, trust me, it'll be dirt cheap.

I had promised myself I wouldn't buy anything until the holiday sale...And then you posted this.

I hate you.
