2011 Steam Summer Sale:DEAD!

[SunnyD]

sales are live now.

Not impressed... Batman:AA GOTY for $7.49 and Sims 3 for $13.60 are probably the only notables, "meh" notables at that.

 

[dpodblood]

I'm in for GTA IV Complete. Prototype is interesting as well, but I'll wait for the $5 sale.

Expensive day for me today. :sigh:

I was keeping an eye on Sims 3 pack for this one female interested in it, but it's going at the same price it has been since sales began. So why is it on a daily right now?

If there's one thing I've learned to do during sales, it's that you should go to Steam's website to browse while traffic is heavy. Steam client doesn't let you open things in a new window(if there's a way, please let me know), going to the website lets you open a game in a new window and if it fails you just close it, so you don't have to click back to reload the main sale window.

Is sims 3 any more immersive than the Sims 1 in terms of them saying meaningful stuff? Havent played 2 or 3 and all I can remember from the first 1 is they never say any meaningful text.

King's Bounty games are simply awesome. Killing Floor is great as well.

Bad day for me. I'm in for Gothic and Kings Bounty! Kings Bounty is awesome! The platinum edition beats out Amazon.com's recent ~8$ at ~6$!

L4D1, Jamestown, Sims 3 Generations! Pricey day, but I'm glad.

Hoping for Prejudice, Risen, Vampire Masquerade, Morrowind, Witcher, The Void. Overall though, most stuff I put on my want list has come true! Hell, I even got Two Worlds 2 and people thought no Go on that one.

I'm hesitant on the GTA deals. First I've already played them on 360, second the whole "grand theft auto" concept doesn't seem great on a keyboard. Yes! I know I could get a 360 controller for my PC, but I've got a 360 anyhow.

Some deals have disappointed but got em anyway...see Monkey Island and Deus Ex. What was up with Res 5....dumb.

Hmm FarCry 2 is very tempting at that price. :hmm:

Don't do it!

Is B:AA a good price? I thought I've seen it for lower.

Lowest it has been on Steam, it has been at that price point quite a few times from previous sales. It is totally worth it for more than that as well.

 

[dpodblood]

Don't do it!

FarCry 2 gets a bad rap, but personally I liked it. A good game for just messing around and killing some dudes. I also really like the health system, and gun wear system they implemented.

I couldn't stand it at all. It is one of the only games (out of like 300) that I bought on Steam and totally regret

 

[SirFelixCat]

nm, you guys are fast...like marsupials!

Ya, checked slickdeals. It was on GamersGate for $6 a week ago, 7.50 on Steam before, but never lower.

I played the demo a while ago and liked it. It feels too much like a console port though. I think I need to just get an XBOX controller and get it over with.

 

[KeithTalent]

Don't do it!

I really liked the first one. Is the sequel that bad that it's not even worth it at that price?

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

If Jamestown was lesser I'd go for it. I really like 2D shooters, I'm just not very good at them. Lol.

I actually played it through to the end an enjoyed it too

If you're even remotely interested now is the time to buy. And if you haven't played FC1 I would highly recommend picking it up as well for $2.50.

 

[JTsyo]

Can you get games on the PC and play on the PS3 with steam? Or was that just for Portal 2?

interested in Batman Arkham Asylum but think it would be better on the PS3.

 

[DaveSimmons]

King's Bounty games are simply awesome. Killing Floor is great as well.

King's Bounty Platinum Edition for $6.99 is an awesome deal. Both The Legend and Armored Princess were a lot of fun.

. . . but I already own them, so I'm not seeing anything that I "need" today.

 

[SirFelixCat]

L4D combo (never played either), KB: Crossworlds (only one I didn't have), B:AAGOTY, and KF combo...most expensive day ever for me @ Steam, almost $28 :sigh:

 

[cronos]

I have been holding out since the beginning but I think I'm going to grab King's Bounty today. Seems like my kind of game and I've heard good things about it.

 

[lupi]

Today's a good day. Other than stuff I reallly don't want, everything on sale I already have.
