2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[MajorMullet]

For everyone wondering about the Tribes pack, I just purchased it. I found a post on the Ascend Forums that tells how to activate it. I did this so I don't know if it will work without the command line parameter or not but its not like it takes any time to do add it:

- Download/install Steam, run and log in to Steam
- Purchase Starter Pack
- Run Tribes: Ascend as you would normally
- click the gears in the top right of the window
- add "-steam" with quotes to the command line parameters
- run T:A and login with your existing character
- starter pack perks should automatically apply

Personally, I'd rather find a Russian girl to "transact" with.........

Theres like 50 websites just for you, bro.

Guys, keep posting what you buy including hidden gems that may be not on flash sale or the front page but still are cheap. I don't follow indie or old games that much so your tips are directly influencing my shopping cart.

Today's purchases:

From Dust
The Binding of Isaac
PAYDAY the Heist

Oh Damn it looks like Amazon will have a better deal on SR3 next week. It's Steamworks so if you miss out, just pick it up from there.

How did you get the info what Amazon will have on sale for how much then?

FYI, Toy Soldiers is on sale for six bucks--needless to say, I grabbed mine yesterday, will check it out later today

Too cheap to drop 75 cents on the x-pac?

Just gotta say that Trine Franchise Deal (1&2) for $5 was insanely HOT. It such a good time to be a PC gamer.

Also bought Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for $2.49. Don't even know it's my type of game but it's worth a shot.

Bind of Isaac for $1.24 is sic. (Already own it)

My vote for Darkness II on next community choice.

Worked great. Thanks for the post.

The official Amazon employee who runs the PC Game deals actually frequents Reddit.com and CheapAssGamer.com. He leaks a lot of info on those two sites (and possibly more).

Payday the Heist is definitely worth it even if you only have one other friend to play with (3 others being the ideal). And they'll be releasing new content this fall.

Is the Anno 2070 pack for $27.99 or so worth it? I've wanted the game for a while, but even at $24.99 or $27.99 with the DLC/addons, it seems too expensive.

I don't usually buy games for more than $20 unless I know I'm going to like it. Like Skyrim, Diablo 3 and a few others.

AMDZen- I was about to ask the same question...The game has a pretty high meta critic score

 

[SlitheryDee]

They got me with Max Payne 3. On a side note, this is the first time I've noticed the remote install option. I hardly ever leave my home PC running, but today I'm transferring a shit ton of files to my NAS. This kicks ass.

I leave my PC on 24/7 and Steam is almost always running as well. I assume that's why I always see the option on my mobile client as it lists my PC's name as well.

PSA: Here is a list of "hidden sales" on games that aren't on the front page of Steam. They're all 70%-80% off. You might find something interesting here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/wgsag/psa_hidden_sales_on_steam_only_70_to_80_xpost/

KaOTiK, maybe you could stick this in the OP? I'm guessing these particular deals will last the entire sale.

Just want to bump this for more to see. Of course there are quite a few worthwhile games that don't quite make the 70% off category

Capsized, a cool looking indie 2D platform shooter (66% off). I will add to list of games to buy near end of sale.

Nimbus looks like a pretty cool concept. Anyone play it?

I'll be making up a list of games with big discounts. Haven't gotten to it yet, but will probably later

Yep, he goes on neoGAF too. His name is Tony. I don't know if it's still on but he's a big Borderlands fan so if Borderlands 2 gets a certain # of pre-orders he said he'll get a Borderlands Tattoo.

A better site is http://www.steamgamesales.com/ since it actually tells you the price in addition to the percentage off; it's sortable by title, percentage savings, price, store, or date; it's updated automatically; and it includes all the other major digital download retailers with the exception of Amazon and Origin (perhaps because they don't have any sort of RSS feed to automatically update the sales list?).

Oh, and it's not Reddit, which is a huge bonus right there. Worst site layout ever.

50% off a new game like Max Payne, can't pass that up.

What is the X-Pac? The one I got is called "Binding of Isaac Bundle (Summer 2012)"

 

[sygyzy]

It's a little misleading. I think Max Payne 3 is $38 everyday from a variety of sites. So yes, it's 50% off retail but it hasn't been that price ever. In fact it's $30 right now from Amazon.

 

[AMDZen]

So where is the Anno 2070 responses biches? Worth $28 bux or what?
