Steam Summer Sale 2016

[sweenish]

It's still pretty new, not sure complaining about any discount is warranted.

 

[jlee]

I might pick up Defense Grid...still haven't played those.

 

[TeknoBug]

I grabbed Eastside Hockey Manager, very nice game.

Anyone play Rome II? I'm also thinking about that one, I have Ultimate Gettysburg and it's horrible so I'm not up for another crummy game like that if Rome II is similar.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Doom is on sale for $36. I'm tempted to get it, but my rig is ancient and I wasn't planning to build a new system until the end of the year.

 

[werepossum]

Am I the only one getting anime soft porn suggestions in their queue?

Do you have to keep signing in all the time? I literally finished my queues for the day and I had to log back in and reauthorize.

lol My own queue is pretty puzzling, but I see now that I should just be thankful it has no anime porn.

 

[ImpulsE69]

The anime porn recommendations are mostly if you ever clicked on the store page for a visual novel as that is what most of them are....and yes, there are quite an influx of them lately.

 

[sze5003]

One showed up for me in my main page and I have no idea why since I've never clicked on anything like that before.

 

[maevinj]

So what's the problem with the Anime Porn games? Are they not any good?

 

[werepossum]

The chances of me ever clicking on a "visual novel" are about the same as me ever clicking on, well, anime porn. That peculiar Japanese blend of stripper and toddler is quite disturbing enough with their clothes on.

I'm a sucker for sims, my try out Eastside. Dunno about Rome II, just grabbed the Napoleon collection for $7.49 though.

Also bought Total War Warhammer for full price, but went with a steam refund, other stuff should keep me busy till price falls. If the refund goes through, I'm right at 2 hours.

One of my favorite games ever.

Pick up the first one to start.

 

[rivethead]

Pick up the first one to start.

Absolutely. You can get Defense Grid for very cheap these days and it's worth every cent and more. A classic.

 

[JimmiG]

Well there are still games from last year's summer sale that I've barely played.
Still ended up picking up a few:
The Long Dark
Adrift
Universe Sandbox²

If you like builder games and don't have these yet, definitely pick up Banished and Cities Skylines.

 

[ShintaiDK]

Bought Bounty Train and Grim Dawn. Both very nice if you are into those kinds.

 

[JeffNY35]

Is it too soon to grab Stellaris for 10% off?
Thoughts?

 

[cytoSiN]

The soundtrack makes that game so much.

Yup. It sounds like The Technomancer will have a similar soundtrack. I'm tempted to buy it (despite initial reviews being not so great), but I wanted to wait a few days for more in-depth reviews, and to see if they patch it early like most games these days.

 

[TechBoyJK]

Is Star Point Gemini any good? there's lots of good reviews. I'm really into Star Citizen but wouldn't mind something more fleshed out that I could play through casually.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Is it too soon to grab Stellaris for 10% off?
Thoughts?

Probably yes. They've cleaned up most of the egregious problems by now, but a lot of people still feel the forced automated sector governance is still beyond broken.

 

[WiseUp216]

I might pick up Defense Grid...still haven't played those.

It is a great game. The sequel didn't hold my attention for very long but the first game is an all-time classic.

If you haven't bought it yet, PM me your Steam profile link. I've had a copy (with DLC) sitting in my inventory for a long time. I can gift it to you.

Oh awesome, thanks!

 

[Craig234]

That 'Sonar' music program is on sale 55% off for $45, hm (in the bundle with rpgmaker).

Thanks for noting this - it's cheaper to buy Sonar in that bundle than by itself.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Not that anyone else cares but hooray they made a windows phone app or some nerd made it for them

[linster]

The HP Elite X3​ looks great and has great specs​. But if Windows Phone 10 is still buggy, it's a moot point.

 

[you2]

Is tale of z and digease any good ? How about orc of men ?
