2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

I wish Steam would quit these flash sales and just do full day sales on everything.

Anyways, I bought LA Noire 2 days ago when it was on for $9.99, now its 4.99.

Only $5, but annoying. I had no idea it would go lower, and if I chanced it, I may have missed out completely.


Picked up the AOE Online and AOE 3 Bundles to play on my laptop some.

Lol just remembered I have some games on Amazon. Was going to buy L.A. Noire, but I already have it 😱.

So many games I own and never play.. :'(
 
Darn, did I miss an Arma sale yet? I didn't know anything about DayZ before but now I'm interested. Still, $24 isn't too bad, but cheaper is always better. 🙂

no daily or flash deal yet.

everything seems fucked up for Dayz lately anyway. they released like 5 different versions over 3 days and servers are all different versions, the arma 2 beta patches seem to have fucked some stuff up too. i can't seem to join any servers lately because of all this.
 
If an item is normally priced at 75% off during the general sale (as in every day of the summer sale), what are the odds it will end up on a daily or flash sale for any cheaper before the end of the sale?

My impatience is starting to get the best of me.
 
Nice find. I was always interested in checking out Sins of a Solar Empire. Looks like Trinity is actually the original 2008 game plus two expansions, while Rebellion is a new game released last month.

Might have to bite on the original.

From their site:

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion contains all of Trinity’s features plus:
•Civil war has erupted within the TEC, Advent and Vasari races; customize your faction and unlock new options by declaring yourself loyalist or rebel.
•Updated graphics bring Sins of a Solar Empire to life as never before, with new particle effects, enhanced textures, and improved shading.
•Six massive Titans enter the fray - each with upgradable special abilities - giving loyalist and rebel factions a way to eliminate their foes.
•Three new capital ships bring immediate options to the table, offering even greater strategic depth; while existing capital ships have been rebalanced for their roles.
•New technologies grant loyalist and rebel factions new ways to advance towards the ultimate victory!
•New corvette class ships use their enhanced speed and maneuverability to weave through the battlefield, inflicting damage to enemy ships’ systems.
•AI enhancements make single-player games more fun and challenging than ever.
•Multiplayer optimizations for Ironclad Online make getting games set up simple.
•New victory conditions provide multiple paths towards becoming emperor of the galaxy.

I don't recall any 75% sale items going below that on a daily sale. Though of course some have gone to 90% off from lower discounts.
