2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[JujuFish]

What game are you looking at getting?

I bought a 4 pack of SSF IV before the flash sale ended, and I'd rather sell to fellow ATers. If not, off to CAG I go.

Anno 2070 can not be activated on Steam. The only way to get it on Steam is to buy it there. As for the game itself, I enjoy it a lot. If you like those type of games you will enjoy it.

I'll 2nd Anno 2070 as being good. i've spent a lot of time on it, although after a certain point I always end up screwing up. I think I end up getting too impatient and try to do too much at once. this game is definitely one where it seems like going slow is the best option.




Also still waiting for something i want to show up for a decent price. I want MP3 but don't want to spend that much on it yet. Also want Ghost Recon: Future Soldier but not likely it will go on sale.

Shame on you for not following the Steam Sale Golden Rule!
No one to blame but yourself
It is the first thing in the OP ffs

I know, I know. Saw some else buy it for $6 and got caught up. Frustrating.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Any thoughts on the Tomb Raider games?

They're 75% off also. Are they part of the flash sale? (edit: yeah product page says so)

 

[CuriousMike]

Toy Soldiers is $2.50 I know some people here wanted to buy it.

Yep, that was on my list ... $2.50 = shazam!

 

[gothamhunter]

No it wasn't.

I meant that it was already offered, so it's unlikely that it'll be seen on any other sale price besides the normal sale price, unless they do a "These ones didn't win before!" kind of thing like they usually do.

Anniversary and Legend are good, no clue on underworld. Anniversary is a remark of the original TR

 

[Ricochet]

Got in on Toy Soldier but gonna pass on AC Revelations.

EDIT:
The next voting block:
1. Bioshock 2
2. FEAR 3
3. Metro 2033

I already have all 3. What does the community prefer?

Underworld is like the other two. If you like one, you'll like all three. I enjoyed them.

I can't say anything about the Guardian of Light game, haven't played that one.

Fuck you guys, you just made me spend an extra $5.

 

[Elixer]

GabeN stikes your wallet for $15.

$15 for the Payday 4-pack; I just can't turn it down.

I believe Rayman is DRM free.

Correct. 100% completely DRM free.

This isn't true, if it still requires steam to be installed.
Steam IS DRM.

The 4-pack for Payday has been floating at that price for a long time as well.
It seems that they can't go below that price for that game, as Amazon also had it at that price.

 

[KaOTiK]

How is the community for Payday? Is it full of douchnozzles like Left 4 Dead 1/2?

 

[NeoV]

in on Max Payne 3, looking for Street Fighter X Tekken, Metro 2033, and the new Line of Duty COD title..and maybe Skyrim if it's cheap enough

 

[beach2nd]

in for Half Life 2 episodes 1 & 2 for 1.99 each

 

[Dankk]

It has it's fair share of douchenozzles. You can typically get around this by hosting your own games, so people don't go on power-trips and kick you when they get mad at you.

The past few times I've played, I actually met some nice people. So YMMV.

Same situation - I was not voting because I have the games in most of these, and then saw there's some 'summer badge' where you have to vote in these deals.

I'm not sure if there are any benefits to the badge.

I picked up Revelations Gold (already mentioned that Toy Soldiers...)

This was a hard choice. FEAR 3 got decent reviews but ruled it out below the other 2. Bioshock 2 is a nice creative game I like with its theme about failed libertarian policies, but decided to go with Metro 2033 for the vote based on the wide praise I see for how good it is. Was a hard call.

 

[ViRGE]

Bought both force unleashed games and am now pissed to find that they are both frame capped at 30fps. Who the heck does that to a pc game?

They can be uncapped. You'll need to do a bit of Google-fu to find the utilities to do so.

 

[JujuFish]

I went with Fear 3 because I already have BioShock 2 and Metro 2033 is already $5 on GMG.

 

[beach2nd]

If your voting for Metro 2033, it is currently 75% off on greenman gaming - activates on steam

 

[Barfo]

Already have those 3 games, I'll vote for whichever you like.

 

[ViRGE]

In case anyone is curious, while Valve isn't doing a full "story" with the mascots for this summer sale, there is a smaller story going on regarding the tree house they're building in the background image. Unfortunately it's not being linked to on the front page, so you have to look at the Summer Camp group to find it.

Flash Sale:

Bejeweled 3 replaces Worms Reloaded

 

[dualsmp]

Just a tip: If you pickup Lara Croft Guardian of Light, they include DLC Challenge Pack 2 for FREE (mine did anyways), so if you pickup the rest of the DLC's just get Challenge Pack 1 and 3. Don't re-buy Challenge Pack 2 by accident.

 

[JujuFish]

Does anyone know if the Steam version of the AC: Revelations DLC is in the form of a code? I bought the game last year from D2D, not Steam. I know the game itself has a section where you can put in codes, so I'm wondering if I can buy the Lost Archive DLC on Steam while it's cheap and just put in the code on my version of AC: Revelations.


Edit: Woops, make sure I'm talking about the right game.

 

[JamesV]

Bought so far :

Thief 2
Railroad Tycoon 2
Legend of Grimrock
