Steam Summer Sale started today

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Team Purple must win! GRAAAAH!

And now to demolish my wishlist

aw fuck yeah, forgot to join until now and got put on team purp


crafted the kerbal space program badge to do my part, looks like we are in the lead by a decent chunk as of now.

bought the naruto game on the flash sale, it looked like alot of fun but I've actually not played any of those games before, can anyone tell me if that one is good? (ninja storm 3 I think?)

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I got no money (Wasted my last 5 dollars for new TF2 weapons), and everything is still too expensive... Maybe I can still get a 20 Dollar card, but I would only be able to get The Walking Dead Season 2 (I can't even think about purchasing KSP, even with the Sale it's still too expensive).

EDIT: On 2nd view, it appears I indeed can get KSP, so I will be buying that ASAP!

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Welp I just took the plunge and decided to check out GoG and register since I'd watched from afar for some time.

Bought 6 games for the price of $29 (£17) and snagged banished for what would be £5 and it was cheaper than Steam asking me for £11.

Also decided to install that GoG downloader which was pretty speedy when combined with my connection upgrade and was quick and simple.

All in all I'm starting to love GoG, DRM free to boot and it's not as cluttered and Galaxy is looking like a piece of optional heaven, I only wish Steam would give up it's DRM shackles and do the same, make me feel like my games aren't mere licenses but full on games I own along with being completely 100% optional and you know not cluttered with shit.

So yeah today for me it's GoG - 6, Steam - 0.

oh... Half Life Flash Sale? Yes I don't have it yet, yes there goes my wallet.
Half Life Complete Pack it is.

Half Life Complete Pack it is.

the first one is quite outdated, but the second game is fucking glorious, ive never played a game with a better pacing

 

[AmberSword]

GGWP Gaben, GGWP....

I'm also hoping in game items in Dota 2 go on sale, more specifically I WANT PORTAL ANNOUNCER!!!!
I'm begging to be verbally abused by GlaDOS again.

 

[Weaver]

Purple Team Master Race!
Deal with it! WOOOOO!!!

 

[LG Jargon]

*looks upon the 230 games and DLCs in his wishlist, rain splattering on his face*

T'is a good day...to buy.

*equips his Green armor and unsheathes his wallet* HOOOOH! Also...

Team Purple must win! GRAAAAH!

And now to demolish my wishlist

Well, you better get to crafting dem badges, cuz... *activates his +500 token* WE'S CATCHIN' UP! >

 

[Signa]

I got Strike Vector right before the sale started. It's still the same price, but I've been having a lot of fun with it. The controls take a bit to get use to, because YOU WILL CRASH. But it's fun.

 

[AliasBot]

Got HL1, HL2, HLE1, HL2E2, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon for under 12 bucks combined. Not a bad start to the 30-dollar budget - if I just restrict myself to games under 5 bucks that I actually have interest in, I should be able to fill out my library with games I'll play without bankrupting myself. Hopefully. (Next up - hope the 'couch co-op' group wins that vote so I can grab Monaco for a buck-fifty and Octodad for 5.)

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Does anyone know why or how teams are getting points stolen?

I went to the "points breakdown page" just out of curiosity and there are tons of random moments in the day where points are stolen, and I didn't see on the main page how this was possible.

 

[prpshrt]

I just noticed that all the games I bought from the steam sales have the number 2 on them :|
Torchlight 2, Trine 2, and The Witcher 2. All for under $5 each

Played through Torchlight 2. I would have gladly paid full price for this game. Think I already got my moneys worth
Hoping the other 2 games don't disappoint

Just a heads up in case you weren't aware. The Glados announcer is about $0.62 and the mega kills announcer is $0.36 in the community market. I think it's pretty cheap!

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Bought Borderlands 2 and all the DLC (minus the character customizations) for about 25 bucks. Not to shabby. Now I'll wait until next week and buy Space Marine when it comes on sale and I have some more running money.

 

[Something Amyss]

So far, nothing I care about, but I'll keep looking.

Well, Dead Rising 3, but not at that price.

thatd explain why so few games are on the weekly deals

http://store.steampowered.com/sale/Weeklong_Deals

They have weeks like this even without the seasonal sales. I'm not sure it was the reason.

The problem here is I've already got like... all the games I want off steam right now. Last year's quartet of sales kinda solved all my gaming needs, really.

The sales are usually fairly repetitive, but I still keep hoping for that one rare find.

 

[The Goat Tsar]

Sadly no games I want on sale yet, at least not daily deals. My bold prediction for how this whole team thing will turn out is that the one same team (looks like purple) that happened to get the most active badge collectors will win everyday. So it won't really work out to be much of a competition. More likely those with the disposable income to be steam level 200 and up will just buy the whole thing.

 

[wasabinewt]

I have to admit this time I'm not too excited about the sale because 1)I have a trip to save up for and 2) I have too many games in my backlog.

But I am eyeing those early access games like The Forest and The Stomping Land.

Question - Do early access games go on sale? I know I'm a cheap skate, but I'm not sure if I want to buy The Stomping Land for $25 in its current state.

Judging by today's sales, they can go on sale, but not for much.

Divinity: Original Sin, for example, releases in two weeks and is currently 20% off.
