2013 Steam Summer Sale! DEAD

[acheron]

I didn't buy a ton of stuff, but there were a few things that I had been wanting that I grabbed:

Civ 5 Brave New World
Torchlight 2
Tomb Raider
Age of Empires 2 HD

 

[Aikouka]

I'm sad to see so many of your lists without Kerbal Space Program.

$14 for a game that's not even done yet? I'll wait....

 

[Molondo]

Fez should not be on steam, way too many problems. The game won't even work on most integrated graphics devices. I know it was only 5 dollars, still annoying.

 

[ControlD]

I'm sad to see so many of your lists without Kerbal Space Program.

Unless you really hate building things and open-sandbox play, you are missing out on one of the top 25 games of this decade.

Graphics suck, and then awe. Not casual at all. If you are a gamer and haven't played the demo, then you are demoted to 'likes games'.

PSA brought to you by 2x Charles Shaw Shiraz.

I tried the demo a couple of time. I think KSP is an amazing accomplishment even in its' current "unfinished" state (will it ever truly be a finished product? ) but I just didn't find it to be that much fun.

 

[jacktesterson]

I did buy a few games.

Dishonored
Max Payne 3
Hotline Miami
Euro Truck Simulator 2 (This was an interesting game to me for some reason, to try)
Deadlight
Surgeon Simulator


Was really hoping the Family Guy game would be 75% off... I kinda want to blow through it real quick but not the price it sells.

This is actually my smallest Steam sale purchase list in a while.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Only got FTL, Strike Suit Zero, and Payday: The Heist. Considered Tomb Raider and some others but I have enough of a backlog that they'll drop in price before I have a chance to play them.



Oh, and the one I'm mad about missing was Reus. Looked cool, missed the 75% off sale, never hit more than 25% off the rest of the sale.

Reus.

They need to finish the South Park: Stick of Truth game, and then put it on Steam for cheap

 

[KentState]

Only got a few myself: FTL, Skyrim Dragonborn and Alan Wake.

there's no point to KSP right now. You just build stuff and go to space...

I had a demo awhile back and while building stuff was fun, it got old quick.

 

[xAlias]

Got myself a few: FTL, Strike Zero, Darklight, Walking Dead , Torchlight 2

 

[jacktesterson]

Alan Wake is awesome

 

[Clinkster]

My purchases during the sale were:
GTA series
Walking Dead x2 (gifted one to friend)
Saints Row 2

Civ 5: Brave New World (full price, just couldn't resist...)

Just Cause 2 (gifted from friend during sale)

I have already beat Walking Dead, you can color me a big fan. I'm playing Civ 5, but want to get through Saints Row 2 before 4 comes out.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

I was kinda eeeehh about picking up Anno 2070, since im not a big sifi person and enjoy the medieval times better, but the game has been great so far. Just learning the ropes in sandbox mode... but who plays the campaign anyhoo!?

 

[DefDC]

There were quite a few games I was had in the cart, and was ready to pull the trigger... But I'm actually making some progress in my back catalog, and anything I wanted now, will be cheaper at Xmas!

 

[Dankk]

That is the point of sandbox games though. You make your own objective.

 

[Yreka]

Well I did add to my wishlist based on your rec, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. It sounds & looks fantastic

 

[cytoSiN]

DAMN YOU STEAM!!! Ys Origin is on sale now (midweek madness), and wasn't during the entire sale. And it was high on my wishlist. But now I have a massive backlog.....

Anyway the entire Ys catalog is on sale right now for 66% off. I HIGHLY recommend Ys: The Oath in Felghana if you like 3/4 hack n slash games.

 

[cytoSiN]

Also, Craig, wherever you are, Kentucky Route Zero is 50% off right now, and I know you were pissed it lost the Flash vote...

 

[rivethead]

I was pissed four days ago that Trine 2 lost the community vote at 80% off......today it's 85% off mid-week madness. Thank you community for not voting for it.

 

[Yreka]

Also really glad I didn't pull the trigger at the regular sale price ($7.99 or w/e) after it lost the final CC vote.

I just bought the 1&2 complete pack for my account.. Im trying to buy an additional 3 pack for gifts, but the option to purchase as a gift is greyed out.. Anyone else having this problem ? (Steam support seems to be down too)

Same here. I think it is because it is implied that from this 3-pack, 1 copy is for your account and 2 to send as gifts.

Buy Trine 2: Complete Story 3-Pack
Includes three copies of Trine 2: Complete Story - Send the extra copies to your friends!

Yes, that's always how the pack works. One will be automatically put in your library, and the rest in your inventory as a giftable item.

You can't buy "packs" when you already own the game (sometimes they allow 2 packs but I've never seen 3/4 packs that allow it).

 

[Tattoedsailor]

I picked up a ton Indy Games.. Can't really go wrong for $5 a pop. I think I purchased about 14 games total. My favorites were Legend of Grimrock, The Swapper and Civ 5 Gold ($10 Amazon).

 

[Yreka]

You can't buy "packs" when you already own the game (sometimes they allow 2 packs but I've never seen 3/4 packs that allow it).

Interesting.. So if you already own the game, you cannot buy it as a gift for someone else ? Seems kinda counter-productive.. What is the point of this ? to keep people from hording games ?

I wanted the complete set, so I bought the 1&2 combo for myself since its not available in the "pack". I went back to get the 3 pack of T2CS only for 3 friends.. Not only the 3 pack is grayed out, but the single game (as a gift) as well.

I was able to purchase from my sons account, (luckily one of the 3 accts I actually have access to). So now I have a game on his account and 2 in inventory.. I guess I will add the other 2 people as friends to his account so I can give them the game SMH


Anyway, thanks for the info guys.. I have never run into this before.
