2013 Steam Summer Sale! DEAD

[rivethead]

They should do like TF2.
Give it away for free and milk money on other things.

No argument here. I'm annoyed that they used a Flash Sale "slot" for this game considering it's been on sale so often and there are SO many other games that would be great choices for Flash Sales.

Anyone think Final Fantasy 7 will go on sale?

It just came out, but so did System Shock 2 (I'm in Hydroponics :awe.

You could use the 30 off code at Greenman gaming - dropping the price to 8.40.

I'd be surprised if goes cheaper.

James, their iOS games rarely go on sale.. I don't think square is a big believer in them (although they had no problem bringing ff13-2 down to $20 in record time..bastards).

Bastion won the vote with 50%

I swear, I think the voting is rigged. Bastion was on sale like 1-2 days ago for this price and it not only beats out 2 other games that haven't seen a flash/daily/vote by it blows them out of the water, wtf.

 

[KaOTiK]

new flash and community vote/deals are up

Anno 2070 requires Ubisoft DRM to work.

Really need this sale to end quickly. I have bought most of what I wanted, plus a few more I never even knew existed (as always the case).

Yet I'm only spending an hour a day playing my newly purchased Torchlight II and I actually thought I will be happy just playing this for the next few weeks...

I believe it was patched out, but it does use Steam-version of the UPlay launcher and the set-up is buggy atm.

I'm having a freaking blast on Civ 5. Only playing on the easiest difficulty but I couldn't care less. Having never played a turn based RTS before, this one is a treat.

Welcome to the 4X genre

Welcome to the 4X genre

Yeah, and get ready to lose a significant portion of your free time. Sleep is overrated.

Sounds good Chalmers.

Love 'free to play', which I call 'free to pay', flash deal 'Marvel' is for a $85 package to get 4 characters and 10 'fortune coins'.

Or they have another $85 character pack and another for $80.

Star Trek Online went free to pay, let's see, Romulan 'Legacy Pack' $160...

What's the word on Rage? I'm tempted...

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I've been really lukewarm to the Saint's Row games when I tried to play them, but for $11, I had to bite on SR2 and SR3 with all the random DLC. Still playing through Far Cry 3, then I've got Sleeping Dogs, but maybe after that.

 

[gothamhunter]

Well, did my part in creating an artificial Skyrim card market.

Went and pumped $5 into Skyrim Summer Getaway Trading Cards since it has the lowest quantity out of all of them, bought out at 15 cents or cheaper. Currently the average is at 17-18 cents now, which would make back what I pumped in. I'm predicting it will rise, and while not netting me a huge profit, will be enough to make it worth it after all. In the end I'll at least break even.

 

[Zorander]

What's the word on Rage? I'm tempted...

It may be just me but I did not like Rage. The world was not convincing and the whole experience felt generic/bland. I only played it for some 1-2 hours though (before giving up and moving on).

FFVII came out a few days ago, SS2 has been out for a few months now. Hardly comparable.

 

[UberNeuman]

If you've put time into Fallout 3/ Fallout NV and Borderlands 1 and 2 then Rage will seem very empty....

 

[Craig234]

Fallen Enchantress shows the sale down to 66%, but if you click it it's still 75%.

 

[Craig234]

From reviews, I'd say Rage is worth $5 if you like shooters. It got some bad reviews for things, but also a number calling it underrated, one said 'the best fps combat'.

 

[Grooveriding]

 

[JTsyo]

Think they might hold off on a good deal on plain Skyrim in hopes of selling more LE?

well, shit. I was all into Rage back when it was yet unreleased, b/c it looked like the perfect mesh of Fallout NV and Borderlands

then the release was terrible, I ended up getting it for 15 bucks a month later, yet to play it.

...so I will hate it?

but FFVII is older than my grandma.
