So what are YOU getting from the Steam Summer Sale?

[Babitz]

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

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

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?

Graphicswise, not so much, if that's what you're after.


Story, hell yes.


Other variables? You may have to use some tweaks to get it to work with win7.

Don't care about graphics, as I said, just got KOTOR. But the win7 could be a deal breaker, what's broken?

Nothing, it has the same compatibility as KOTOR, AFAIK, Gratuitous LOLBBQ and associated ACRONYMs.

There are several threads on steam on how to make games released before Win7 to work on Win7.

Ok then. Now for the real stuff, how's gameplay?

The best. Multiple methods of beating areas, upgrades, character and weaponry. Decent hacking, etc


Also a system which doesn't give you the ability to perfectly snipe shit the instant you start the game, you want to get good at shooting, you have to work towards it ^^.

I'd also like to add the great health bars. You have health bars for each limb, your torso and your head and losing health on each one has consequences like impaired movement, shaky hands, blurred vision, etc. Also, the game has lots of detail. More than anything I've ever played and too much to write here without making it a FAQ.

As for me, I'll get The Longest Journey, all Magicka DLC's, Uplink and MDK 2. Probably even more stuff once I find it.
I would get TF2 as well, but it's f2p now so hooray.

edit
Hitman: Blood Money looks appealing.

 

[00slash00]

definitely getting the still life bundle. its only $10 and i am such a suck for point and click adventure games. the fact that people have compared still life to the longest journey seals the deal

 

[godofallu]

I got Team Fortress. Other than that the sale is just full of old games I already own or don't care enough to buy.

I would be willing to snap up Metro 2033 if I could get it cheap enough, but even that I probably wouldn't spend over 7.50 for.

Free or paid?

 

[Rhayn]

I bought Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Should've bought it waaay earlier, such a great game.

I'll probably get some other RPGs that I've missed over the years, should anything catch my eye.

 

[ResonanceSD]

Nothing, really. Not yet, at least. Hopefully I can fix my computer before it ends... x-x

Buy Now Play Later (with apologies to the Whitlams)

 

[Filiecs]

I got Hydrophobia, downloading it now.
I hope it's good.

 

[noble cookie]

Terraria, if my computer can handle it.

If my PC can run that, anyone's can.

Anyway, probably nothing, because ^^^ my computer is balls.

Well, I've had it paused for a while, left it to download overnight last night. Peaks at like 500KBPS. Nearly filled half of my 1TB Hard drive within a week O_O

 

[Sacman]

Nothing... seeing as how I have no money, anyway...<.<

 

[Bigsmith]

Nothing cause I have no moneys.
