2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[diesbudt]

Wow, how did you determine this? They should make every game page list all the extra services they make you sign up for, unless they do already?

I'll contribute: Tropico 4 makes you sign up for an account from the publisher. It's not like a Steam or Windows Live account which services a bunch of stuff. AFAIK, it's just for this game. It's yet another login to remember.

Yea... log-ins..

They do, it's right on the store page.

Let's see... who in their right mind would buy sniper elite from steam for the "flash sale" of $25, when Amazon has Sniper Elite V2 - $14.99, AND it activates on steam!

Frankly, the steam sale hasn't been very good at all yet. Either I already had the games, or the price just wasn't right...

I am guessing we have to wait for the winter sale to see the GOTY editions with all the lame DLC content included to make good deals now.

 

[EDUSAN]

Amazon had...or still has Binary Domain at 9,99...

 

[Edge1]

At work and can't pull Steam up - can anyone tell me the GTA deal? I already have GTA4. Want Vice City and SA on Steam.

Never mind! I see it on the first page. Doh!! KaOtik rules!

 

[cytoSiN]

Company of Heroes for $2.50 is a good deal?

 

[Soccerman06]

Hows costume quest?

 

[SunnyD]

Company of Heroes for $2.50 is a good deal?

I think it was $1.99 on a recent daily deal.

 

[rivethead]

Company of Heroes for $2.50 is a good deal?

Definitely. I bought it for that during the Holiday Sale and it was money well spent.

 

[Childs]

I'm buying games I didn't know I already owned. Assasins Creed, Trine 1 and Crysis I bought last year during the Amazon sale. Forgot I owned them until I was looking at my Amazon digital account

Yeah, I have to reference my Amazon account before buying. In a some cases I rebuy on Steam because of bundled DLC and convenience. Kinda irritating when I check Amazon because I know I bought the games on sale at good deals, but I'm seeing them in the Steam Sale for much less.

 

[Udgnim]

bought Dues Ex pack, Fallout NV, and Batman Arkham City

think I'm done with the Steam summer sale. was thinking of getting Arma 2 for DayZ mod, but decided I'll get it at a later time or play Arma 3 DayZ when Arma 3 is released

 

[lupi]

I think the tropico one may be a kalypso account thing, at least I hope my pat 4 I'd works in it too.

 

[sygyzy]

Ok picked up Train Simulator 2012 and Company of Heroes

 

[cytoSiN]

Considering Limbo for $2.50, but it's supposed to be like 70 minutes long. Anyone play it? Any replay value?

yeah i was really hoping arma 2 would be cheaper :/

it has no replay value, unless you want to play the experience again or do the achievements.

you can do it in 70 minutes if dont die like...never... it took me 3 hours...

Hrm...$2.50 for 3 hours isn't terrible to be honest. Better than $60 for 8-10 hours, like lots of new games.

 

[RazorUK]

Nothing for me today so far thankfully! I've created enough of a dent on my wallet this last few days.

 

[EDUSAN]

and those 3 hours of gameplay are great btw... i enjoyed it very much.

you WILL like it, thats for sure... you only need to consider if $2,5 is worth 3 hours of gameplay that you will never play again...

but Limbo is an excelent little indie game

I think they are stringing people along for ARMA 2. I have spent over $100 just checking the sale every day looking for ARMA and impulse buying. It was on sale at Amazon for $20, and I waited for Steam to match or beat it, now its back to $30. So F it.

i started to play it and got so far then stopped. it's pretty cool but kind of difficult in some areas. i'm guessing no replay value based on what i saw. it's basically a side scrolling platform/puzzle game.

Is this really a game about jumping off a building:

AAAaAaaAaAaaaaaAAaa!! for the Awesome

 

[Pray To Jesus]

Who got TRAINS? 90% off CHOOCHOO

Already have it. Got the Canadian National Addon and the Black 5 Scenario DLC.

Yeah, it's a "skydiving game" of sorts. It's actually really good.

I clicked on it to buy, than had 2nd thoughts when I saw it only got a score of 67.
Anyone want to offer an opinion of the game?
