2011 Steam Summer Sale:DEAD!

IMO The THQ pack is insane. If you only need a few games out of it it is worth buying and gifting the rest.

I am looking at getting Medal of Honor (10) and TDU2 (10). You guys have me interested in that Recettear too.
Unless they've changed policies, you can't pick and choose which games to gift in a pack. It all goes to the same account.

Edit: meant for that to say "can't", which is the exact opposite of what it originally said. 😛

Borderlands GOTY $7.50 75% off

:hmm: I don't have this on PC. If this indeed comes with all DLC then I may have to jump.

Yes, it comes with all four DLC. The best part about having it on the PC is that you can add custom user-created levels to the game. This is nice as it adds a teleport area for the DLC zones. Normally, you have to walk/drive everywhere in the DLC zones, which is awfully obnoxious at times.
 
I was going to get fallout 3 but after going into steams forums and reading all the problem that people have running win7 64 with quads or higher, too much trouble and the game company doesn't even bother releasing a patch at least.

No I meant if you already had some of the game, my wording was poor. I own the Dawn of War games, Company of Heros, and a few others from the pack on steam already and would gift those to friends.
 
This seems to be hammering steam's web store. I just bought Medal of Honor and Test Drive Unlimited 2, I guess we'll see how download speeds are.

Their download servers are hammered too. I'm getting my downloads in bursts.
 
How come every developer is on sale except EA =/ ?

I wanted to snag Dead Space 2 for cheap

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Dead Space 2 popped up in one of the daily deals sometime during the next 2 weeks. Just wait for it. I'm guessing it will be at least 50% off.

Haha, they're not friends anymore is why. I think the Origin store is having a 40% off sale but ideally steam will put up a crazy deal on all the origin games to screw them over, saving us money.
 
STRANGE.

So i was checking out Disciples 2 due to a suggestions here....and low and behold there is a Disciples 2 Gold / Jagged Alliance 2 combo! up for sale for $7.50 I believe. Will probably get it. Hoping its not somehow a daily.

However this troubles me to stumble on a pack like this.....there might be other packs like this I will miss. *cry*

Other things like Grand Theft Auto Classics packs and stuff. I guess you just gotta dig.

King's Bounty series is simply amazing RT travelling with TB HoMM-like combat.

Star Wolves Pack is heavily recommended - Think Homeworld plus RPG Pilot elements, custom ship loadouts and a nice flow to the story, sort of Non-linear in a Freelancer style but a bit more freedom. Can be buggy but the 1C Forums make short work of most of them. Save often and enjoy one of my top 5 games of all time (Star Wolves 3)

Totally picking up King's Bounty Platinum, which theres a good deal on and it includes all 3 Kings Bounty games.

I remember Might and Magic 3 when I was younger. I was in love with that game.

I'm strongly considering the 1C complete pack but tell me - what is RT travelling? It's probably something I should guess easy...
 
Any opinions on The Witcher 2 deal? I have been wanting to get it for a while and was waiting for a sale. Should I pull the trigger now or wait until later in the sale week?

Heh careful there. I doubt you remember Might and Magic 3. Maybe Heroes of Might and Magic 3, but that is a big difference. Both good games however. 😉

It's on sale today, so I doubt it'll be on sale again. If you want it and have a machine capable of running it with enough "oomph" I say go for it.
 
So I'm guessing games like Fable III and Haunted that are on for 25% and are not part of Thursday's Deals are going to be on sale for the entire sale and I don't have to quickly buy them all today? 😛

Don't forget that there are typically recap days during the sales. A 10 day sale might have two recap days. I'd imagine that Witcher 2 would be included in the recap day.

I'm tempted to pick up Witcher 2 as well!

don't think you can do that. Usually thats reserved for Valve only games.
