2014 Steam Summer Sale Thread

I've used it before on steam without issues. What card do you put in there then? Credit ?

I'm with a police and fire credit union and they keep close tabs on large purchases and even when you use your debit card in other parts of the city.

I don't have the card stored on there either. Its odd since when I do pay bills online I'm usually at work on the company intranet behind a firewall. The major companies like Comcast and Verizon are usually secure when paying online too.

Which game has more value...Banished, Tropico 4, or AOE II?

I've never played banished but I have AOE 2 and its pretty time consuming if you really get into it. I guess I could say the same for tropico since its a similar style game.

AOE II has an amazing campaign and is still a rock solid RTS even after more than a decade.

Tropico 4 offers a lot in its campaign too and free mode is a good city builder. Its really a matter of taste though, both offer good value.

How do you see your progress towards a badge?

Last time steam had a big sale there was a "view your progress" link.

Highlight your name on the top and a menu should cascade down and in there should be badges or a link to inventory.

Thank you.

Does anyone have experience with Space Engineers, good or bad?

It seems like an early access new game where you can create ships and bases and then test out physics and destruction. Not sure if there was any story to it. It's pretty much a sandbox game.

THE NEXT SALE IS UTILITIES!


I know some of you have been waiting for that.

 

[Harrod]

I have no idea what I just voted for.

I'm 3 hours into Brothers (so almost done according to reports that it's a 3-4 game). It's pretty good. I find it emotionally strange...going from giggles to great sadness in minutes.

The beauty of Brothers is its uniqueness. The single-player coop thing is challenging at times!

I've been playing it today. The two player controls are really clever I think. Well worth the money if it comes up again.

Yeah, I picked that up, pretty good deal. Made me feel better as I just started the STALKER Lost Alpha mod and it sucks, and I've reloaded Fallout 3, downloaded a buttload of mods, and am having zero luck getting it to run without crashing. So that's my gaming bright spot for the weekend. lol

There is a thread for trading Steam Summer Sale Adventure cards.

But it is much quicker to trade those on Steam forums.

Looks like sale is about over. No more community votes. Expect to see a "best of" sale for the Daily Deal items at the next switch.

 

[sze5003]

I can't find anything else I would want to pick up. Maybe they will have something before its over. Although I have been checking out deadlight.

I wanted this game but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger at the $60 price point, so this is awesome.

 

[Lil Frier]

Going to get PAYDAY 2, but that's possibly it. Was going to get both Fallout games, but missed those sales. I'll have to see what is there for the wrap-up sale, as I have $35 in Best Buy credit. I might grab those games (if they're on-sale), Civ V (if my friend will also get it), and Spec Ops: The Line. Not much I care to get this time around, especially since I literally only played 1 game from the Holiday Sale (Dishonored, which I haven't finished), after buying 10+.

 

[nageov3t]

picked up Baldur's Gate I and II as part of the daily deals today... haven't played them since probably 1999.

 

[futurefields]

I'm kind of hoping the Borderlands 1 GOTY + Borderlands 2 Vanilla for $9.99 deal comes around again. I never finished the first Borderlands on 360, and it seems to have a different feel than Borderlands 2 (less MMO, more desolate and lonely (which is more to my liking))...

 

[WiseUp216]

Highly recommend Child of Light and Age of Wonders III. My two favorite purchases of the sale so far.

I think I'm going to turn the A/C on today and have a Child of Light marathon.

 

[sze5003]

Can you use the ds4 to play child of light?
