2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[Dankk]

Anyone played Spec Ops the Line? Wasn't really on my radar until Yahtzee raved about it last week. Any other opinions?

Average military shooter made awesome by a fantastic storyline. Assuming you have the money, I'd recommend buying it, only to support good writing in mainstream shooters.

How is Just Cause, the first one? Pretty playable? It's 2.49.

It's OK, but it doesn't achieve the level of awesome that Just Cause 2 does. Skip the first one and just get the sequel.

 

[AlexAL]

Skip the first one and just get the sequel.

Have the sequel and just picked up its DLC. I'm reading that the first is a pretty blatant copy of GTA, which can be ok, but can't tell if it's overly bad or overly buggy.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Crap crap crap crap crap...5 days to go...I NEED TO STOP BUYING STUFF

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I wish I would've purchased MW3 when it was on sale, it's been the only thing that has appealed to me :\... Maybe it will go on sale again, it didn't make it through the vote-able sale sadly either.

It's also on sale at Amazon for $29.99. Uses Steamworks.

Can't believe the original Torchlight got more votes than Oblivion. It's a free bonus when pre-ordering TL2, it's been on sale probably 10x more often than Oblivion has, it's been in pay what you want Indie bundles... people are weird. Oh well, Oblivion will probably be a daily deal at some point anyways.

Flash Deal

Sanctum replaced with

Torchlight $3.74 75% off

Flash Sale

Take on Helicopters replaced with


Bioshock Pack $9.98 75% off includes below
Bioshock $4.99 75% off

So I hate my isp, they throttled me down because Im dling too much. They "say" over 200gb in the last 4 days. Down to 300kb/s yay

 

[OCNewbie]

Company of Heroes is totally worth it for $2.50, no?

 

[Baptismbyfire]

Company of Heroes is totally worth it for $2.50, no?

Best $2.50 you could spend if you like RTS with strategic depth that takes a long time to master. Even the single-player campaign is really well made.

 

[lupi]

they changed the summer badge from vote every time to vote once per day.

 

[Blueoak]

Although, I don't even like the game anyway. I just can't stand the controls with a mouse + keyboard.
:

Not sure which part is bugging you. The zoom on the scroll wheel was annoying me, so I moved zoom to the Home/End keys so I don't accidently scroll while placing towers, auras, and etc.

 

[Barfo]

So glad to have traded Just Cause 2 for Legend of Grimrock at the start of the sale 😀

 

[lupi]

CoH is the best new RTS series to come out in awhile. May as well grab all the titles if just to play through all the SP campaigns.

 

[rivethead]

It's on sale now 50%.

Just hasn't been on a daily.

That's what I meant by "on sale" in my orginal post. A daily deal (or even a flash deal).

In past Steam sales, Bioware titles always seemed to have a prominent place. This sale, not so much (so far).

Agreed. Not that I trusted Steam very much to begin with, but I'm now thoroughly convinced that the voting is a marketing ploy and they're completely ignoring the actual votes. That said, on the off chance they're counting the votes, I voted for DriverSF. Played the original 10+ years ago and I've had my eye on the new one for a while, waiting for a steep sale.

 

[EDUSAN]

SUMMER SALE STRIKES BACK!

after a couple days of not buying anything...

I bought...

Binary Domain (13)
Stacking (3,75)
Shot Many Robots (2,5)
Assassin Creed 2 Deluxe Edition (5)

And from Previous Days i got

Max Payne 3 (22)
Orcs Must Die (3,75)

Total = A nice and round 50 bucks

So i guess im still good, havent payed much yet

lol, the one I voted for didn't win so it must be rigged.

Clearly not what I said. I simply agree with the previous poster that original Torchlight beating Oblivion GOTY is hard to believe.

I believe it, a lot more people probably already have Oblivion and such compared to those that even know about torchlight.

 

[Texashiker]

Kinda disappointed torchlight won the community vote.

I wanted Oblivion to go on a deep discount.

 

[gothamhunter]

Oblivion has been on sale many, many times.

 

[Leopardos]

Should i wait alittle more for COD MW3 or there is no chance to get it more cheaper than 45$ during the summer sale? any idea?

i didnt love COD games until 2 months ago , i bought it for xbox and its amazing, but i want to play on pc (multiplayer, i hate singleplayer) ...

So, wait for sale or buy black ops which is on sale now ? or MW2 ?:x I have no idea, which one is better? and ofcourse has many players online?

CoD MW3 was on sale day 1 or 2 for $30 (50% off).

We may or may not see it on sale again, but it has been on sale once already.

 

[IGemini]

CoD 3 was on sale day 1 or 2 for $30 (50% off).

CoD 3 was never released on PC. MW3 would be CoD 8.

Well, my bad on typing it wrong, the person I quoted did mean CoD MW3.
