So what are YOU getting from the Steam Summer Sale?

[freaper]

I've got Killing Floor, but I'd like to start playing it again with the new update they've promised.

Maybe something else if I can find a good offer for an interesting game.

 

[HooterNanny]

Pretty much everything. I only discovered how awesome Steam is about a month ago, and now I've found out about the Summer Sale. Awesome. Just Awesome.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

got borderlands GOTY. i don't even have steam installed yet! (getting a new pc in a week for gaming)

 

[castlewise]

Already got enough tickets to redeem the spacechem dlc.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

Try using linux. NOTHING WORKS!

You have steam, why is this a surprise to either of you.

 

[Spud of Doom]

Oblivion GOTY Deluxe. Had the vanilla version on 360 but never beat it, and this is more readily accessible for me now. Not gonna get anything else yet since I have Borderlands on 360 and it's awesome. Maybe if something great appears.

 

[noble cookie]

Oh, turns out my POS pc can run killing floor rather well, so I've now bought something

It's awesome, btw

EDIT: Just got Braid, PB Winterbottom, Bob came in pieces, ben there dan that, shatter, time gentlemen and VVVVV.

I'm also thinking about Swords and Soldiers and Deus Ex 1, could someone that's played them tell me about them?

Swords and Soldiers is a really simple but fun RTS. The interface has been reduced down to just choosing when to build your units and then just letting them run to the other side of the map on their own. You do get to cast some spells to help them out though. That's what makes all the difference. Silly humor is nicely injected into it too.

DE1 is (as I'm sure you have heard countless times) an amazing game. The problem with it is it was really hard for me to get into and understand what the game was asking of me. Should I try stealth? Should I assault? No to either, because the stealth mechanics didn't make much sense, and then I didn't have enough ammo either for assaulting. It took until last
year where a friend and I would take turns dying until we figured out what
Iwas going on. THEN it was awesome. It just took a bit of effort for it to click with me, so I suddenly had enough ammo and could sneak around entire levels without killing or even KOing a single enemy.

EDIT: I was going to complement you on getting VVVVVV. I fucking love that game. Bob Came in Pieces on the other hand I hated so much. Maybe it gets better, but the mechanics that were being introduced just seemed so weak.

I'm already sold on DE1 but I'm afraid that swords and soldiers will be too shallow?

 

[Retronana]

I'll probably get the THQ bundle, I own none of those games and I'm probably interested in all of them. For £34.99 I could get one Xbox game, but instead I'm getting 14 PC games for the same price.

I love steam so much.

 

[lumenadducere]

I just picked up Recettear, and I'm waiting to see what else goes on sale. Hoping for some other things, but really at this point there's not too much that I'm waiting for on PC. I may pick up Bit.Trip.Runner as I've heard great things and it'd probably be worth the $5 price, but other than that I don't see much that I either don't already have or am interested in.

 

[Loop Stricken]

So many games I want, but I probably won't get as it will require reinstalling Steam on my desktop

I'm not sure why this is a bad thing.

Hm, two hours left to decide on getting The Witcher 2.
Oh, the agony of indecision!

For $3.40, I think it's worth it. It's hardly better than a well-built flash game, but it's got a lot of that charm that Plants Vs Zombies had. Simple fun that has some depth to it.

 

[DVS Storm]

Oblivion GOTY, Deus Ex GOTY and Saints Row 2. Damn I love Steam.

 

[ResonanceSD]

I'm loving the popularity of Deus Ex!!!! =D

 

[Woodsey]

Borderlands, Oblivion deluxe, Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, KOTOR, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER and Beyond Good and Evil. Looking forward to tomorrow

Deus Ex 1 is nothing short of PURE AND UTTER FORGED AWESOME

I'm sure, but does it hold up well by today's standards?

It takes a giant shit on them in what it does. Deus Ex is the game that everyone should have strived to make but was too pussy or too lazy to.

DO IT. NOW.

So many games I want, but I probably won't get as it will require reinstalling Steam on my desktop

But all it does is sit in the system tray?

 

[AdmiralMemo]

Haven't decided yet. I have most of everything I want that's currently out.

 

[Owlslayer]

Umm, currently, I've got Garry's Mod and Lead and Gold.
Yes, I'm really, really cheap. Like, REALLY cheap. seriously, that's like 3,4 eurs or something like that...
Damn, I'm cheap.

 

[The Epicosity]

If I buy anything, probably some weapons/hats for TF2, maybe Terraria, and less likely, a game dev's pack, probably 2K or Valve, just cuz of how low their prices dropped compared to before.
