2014 Steam Summer Sale Thread

[Imp]

Is the Summer Adventure thing busted?

How is everyone but the green time running within 600 points while green is 155k ahead...

 

[ImpulsE69]

I think the whole thing has been broken from the beginning and rigged to make people think they need to buy games.

People actually care about this "team"　crap? Even if your team wins you have a 1 in about 100,000 chance of winning anything anyway.

 

[Yreka]

I think people see their team isn't winning, and don't bother wasting any combines for that day. People see their team is in the lead or close 2nd, they do a combine or 2 to get in on a chance to win the games albeit at extremely crappy odds (as mentioned) This is why you have 1 or 2 teams running away with it.

Well... yeah. It's not exactly a secret. Valve always comes up with some kind of metagame to push people to spend more money.

Heh. I mean look at the texture in the screenshot you posted.

The texture on the rock where the guy is standing.

That is what makes skyrim so great, you can change that if you want with mods. You want new armor? mods Want real looking flowing water? Mods What more vampire bases spells? Mods.

Simply dismissing a game based on graphics you see, or problems YOU are having with computer is dumb.

Yah advertising or promotions never sold games to you.

I don't typically use mods. I'm not really into user-generated content. Anyways, the problem isn't with my computer.

If the RPG group wins I'm definitely picking up Baldur's Gate 2 EE for $6.25. Wonder if it will also put 1's EE 75% off as well...

Uh, no. If your team wins you have a 1 in 1 chance of getting three games from your wishlist.

They have both been daily deals a couple times already. Frankly, they are worth full price and a mere 50% off should probably do it for you. 75% is just wasting time. GET THEM NOW!

 

[Cappuccino]

Is the Contagion game good? Is it like Left 4 dead? What do you do in multiplayer?

 

[Coalfax]

heck, I wish that I could even see the deals today. I haven't been able to view the features tab yet at all today. No summer sale voting for me :-(

Waiting for 75% off means I have $10 to spend on another game.

 

[JujuFish]

Still waiting for Skyrim Legendary Edition to hit $10. Maybe the winter sale. /miser

That is simply wrong. 30 people are chosen at random from the people who contributed to the win.

Dude, even at 13 dollars it gives you entertainment for a penny an hour.
Just get the damn thing.

Go play crysis.

This - My team won day 2 (Red) + I contributed = No games.. Think of it as buying a raffle ticket.. You buy a ticket by completing badges. Your team wins, they pick 30 out of the team bucket. Your team loses, they dump the team's bucket-o-tickets in the round file.

If EVERYONE on the team won 3 games.. well then this contest would be quite a bit more interesting

 

[Yreka]

Shadowrun I quite liked. If you like/do not mind games with turn "points" per player, then it is good.

If you are expecting a FPS, do not waste your money.

Ended up grabbing the base game,I really like it too. Pretty much met my expectations of a Fallout 1-2esqe game. Disclaimer - Im only an hour in. Kinda wish I would have bought the complete edition. Hoping this is one of the games that gets recycled before the sale is over so I can snag it.

Well then don't complain about the game graphics. Two clicks you install mods that add tons of content to the game. You yourself said computer was hitching when playing it. That is not a common problem. so..

 

[CPA]

Okay, new deals are up and SouthPark is listed...at full price! lol. I'm thinking the sale price hasn't been posted yet.

 

[Elixer]

Hmm....Just saw:
Buy Planetary Annihilation Early Access for $25

That doesn't seem like a deal at all.
You are paying to play a BETA that may, or may not ever be finished, and which may, or may not ever have bug fixes once it is released, since they ran out of funds.

 

[voodoo7817]

I own Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider, but those look like good buys if you don't have them yet.

Borderlands 2 GOTY is finally down to $10. I think it's time to bite on that one for me too.

Despite the production issues, I've heard decent things about Kingdom of Amalur. Main game is $5 and the collection is $10, but apparently the collection was $7.50 yesterday on Gamersgate. Are the DLC worth it for this game?

Metro Last Light Complete for $6.79 seems like a solid flash deal as well, but I'm generally not into the 'horror FPS' genre.

Yep.. 33%off now, so $40 = meh..

Looks like Ill be picking this one up next sale or the one after..
