2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

Can't get the Steam website to load on my computer or phone. Anyone else having the same issue? Also, how much longer on the Dungeon Siege pack? Seems like a good deal for $7.50 and don't want to miss out because I can't get the page to load...

Just so you know the first 2 games don't include their expansions and they've also had the online multiplayer element removed. At least that's what I've read on the Steam forums, but I guess it doesn't matter if you think DS3 + Treasures of the Sun is worth $7.50 alone.

Also their site is down for me as well, probably just traffic.

I wouldn't use the multiplayer, just want to run through them on single player. But no expansions is annoying.
 
You'd think that after a half-dozen major biannual sales, Steam would be able to handle this kind of traffic by now. :hmm:

You really would. I finally got it to load, but now the search won't work and the Under $10 and Under $5 lists won't load so I can't use the Trine codes I got on summerseal.com. Oh well, maybe later.
 
DS3 is a decent hack and slash, good with friends. DS2 I wish had the online component enabled but is actually a pretty good dungeon crawler/action/loot RPG, I've played through it a few times over the years pretty happily.
 
sygyzy's Quick Reviews: This is where I review Steam games I just bought and played for 20 minutes to a few hours

Terraria - I bought this a while ago actually and never played it. It's like Minecraft, which I have almost no experience with. It's pretty fun. I am barely learning how to survive my first night and how to "craft." Beyond that, I don't know if there's a goal or if it's truely like Minecraft and just a world you can build.

The Walking Dead - More like a Choose Your Own Adventure click to advance story, than a game. The cel animation style is great and the writing is really cool. Each decision you make is remembered and when you give questionable answers, the NPC's will call you out or make a facial expression which, sometimes, makes you wonder if you said the "right" thing.
 
So I've never heard of anything that's in the vote right now, tips?

The Double Fine pack looks kind of interesting.

I voted for E.Y.E. It's set in a DeusEx-ish world and has lots of weapons and play styles (hacker, assassin, sniper, brute, etc), and looks like it would be pretty fun with a few friends. I considered grabbing a 4-pack a while back and then got too busy to play it. It's already 60% off ($4 ea., $12 for a 4-pack)), but if it goes on sale for 75% off I think I'll bite.

If it's that good, I'll go in on the 4-pack with you if you need a friend.

/agree

Stacking video reminds me of the game Messiah...and well Psychonauts is hilarious. Costume Quest - combat sequences remind me of Final Fantasy games [from watching youtube videos]

I haven't played Stacked (just bought it though) but I can tell you Costume Quest is definitely worth it at that price. Highly polished little RPG.

You guys are such enablers 😀
 
Train Simulator 2012 is really good, if you have an interest in trains at all. I'm thinking of maybe picking up some of the DLC.
