2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[Madia]

Just saw that they also included the Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack for $8.74 75% off

I'm on the fence about this one. Has anyone played it?

 

[Craig234]

Something bad about the steam interface:

If it's listing a game and other things like a guide or soundtrack, you can only buy them but not bring up their product screen.

But if there's a bundle, and you click that, then you can click on the guide or soundtrack.

It's needlessly convoluted.

Got Alice for $5 yesterday. Only deal I've jumped on so far. I know I'll get the Super ID Software pack by the end of the sale... but the rest is looking bleak.

 

[Craig234]

Greenmangaming has a lot of titles on sale, but mostly old or obscure titles.

[Gunslinger08]

I've bought too much already, I think.

Trine 2
The Binding of Isaac
Space Marine
GRAW 2
The Walking Dead
The Darkness 2
Monkey Island Special Edition Pack
Serious Sam 3

Things still on my wishlist:
Skyrim - I hated Oblivion, so I'm waiting for this to be $15 in case I hate it as well.
Rage - Hoping for 75% off.
Puzzle Quest 2 - It's $10 and I'm cheap.
Quantum Conundrum
Jurassic Park - Heard it wasn't great, but I liked Back to the Future, so I'm giving Telltale a shot on this one. Waiting for <$10 though.
Alan Wake - Not sure if I really want this. I'm not big on horror games.
Peggle Nights - Casual game, hoping for 75% off.
Spec Ops: The Line - Heard it has a great story, but I don't want to pay more than $20 or so.
Shoot Many Robots - Might be a good 4 pack game to play when I can get together with my friends.

 

[Soccerman06]

I keep hoping these flash sales bring something decent, but havent seen anything too exciting from them.

 

[beach2nd]

In for Orcs Must Die GOTY - 4.99

 

[turn_pike]

3.75$ for Bastion is criminally low for something this beautiful.
Spent 22 dollar so far.
Still pondering about Walking Dead series, how are the replayability on these games ?

 

[PhoenixEnigma]

3.75$ for Bastion is criminally low for something this beautiful.

I already had a copy from Humble Bundle. At that price, I bought another so that the next person I meet who hasn't played it can.

 

[diesbudt]

By the screens I am almost sure I will not like Bastion.

 

[Edge1]

Man, its hard to bite on all that Gothic stuff when it gets scores in the 60s. Not 1 really decent game (except maybe the first one) is what you're led to believe. Does anybody like the Gothic series?

 

[KaOTiK]

The Gothic series is pretty good. Rough around the edges but good if you dig rpgs. Gothic 1-3 are the best of the lot, though I did like Arcania even though it gets a fair amount of hate.

 

[KaOTiK]

Can't decide if I should get Vessel, liked the demo, but something tells me to save money, like it's a sixth sense warning me of a lot of deals lol

Please don't on the bolded. They made many mistakes in this and they have admitted as much. Skip it and go straight to The Walking Dead. You'll be glad you did.

So, with The Walking Dead, do you get all 5 "episodes" for $14.99? It says:

"Gain access to the full season [5 episodes] of The Walking Dead by purchasing the Season Pass, which will act as your gateway to every episode of the game. Episode 1 and 2 are available immediately upon purchasing the full season; each of the remaining episodes of season one will be released periodically."

 

[Aikouka]

Yes. It's common for Telltale to have a staggered episodic release, and unless you specifically buy only a certain episode, you get all of them.

Unlike Valve, they actually release their episodes on time.

 

[poohbear]

Argh i missed out on the Batman arkham city DLC! Were they -75% or -66%? Hopefully they

Pretty sure they were. There is still a chance that it might go on sale as a daily deal as we've seen daily deals become flash deals the next day.

Is Steam borked for anyone else right now?

I went for Bastion and Mount and Blade - With Fire and Sword... not too painful.

 

[SViper]

snip...

And fellas, keep in mind that a lot of us get games that we wouldn't have if not for awesome suggestions, so if you know of a game that's under the radar, mention it, please! Valve (and us) would love you for it

This. I've purchased quite a few games (even outside of the summer sale) at the recommendation of you guys and I haven't been disappointed.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Nice, Bastion for $3.74 is a no brainer!
