Steam Summer Sale 2015 Official Whatcha Gonna Buy Thread

[GoodRevrnd]

I agree, I've been waiting for someone to do a Syndicate game, but word is that right now Satellite Reign is very incomplete, and not really playable as a game.

I backed it but this isn't the type of game I'm willing to beta at all. However, my friend puts in some time now and then and it seems like the game is completely playable, but very incomplete. Like maybe half the game is still missing. But I've been following it and they have been making very consistent and steady progress all along.

So it's not a disaster, but I don't see the point of buying a single player somewhat story driven game in an incomplete form. I would add it to your wishlist and definitely grab on release.

Well, $22.49 right now. My backlog is bigger than your backlog.

We really need a game about buying games. Oh wait, we have one, Steam.

Lol, so true.

 

[JujuFish]

Yay, got my 100 million minigame badge.

Car racing fans; Project Cars is $29.99, I think that is as low as it will go this time around. It isn't perfect, but I think there's room to move. Think I'm going to try Dirt Rally too, it will probably get better.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Yes!!! DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE!!! The game I wanted the most at 50% off!!! Wooohooo!

I've put about 30 hours so far into Project Cars. Well worth every penny.

Derpy Steam has the Resident Evil 4/5/6 bundle priced higher than buying the games individually:

I'm debating whether I would enjoy and actually play either of these games:

Fallout 3: New Vegas Ultimate Edition $6.79

If you like quest-y games with plenty of exploration, it's well worth that price. I also love looking at photos of and reading about 1950s America, and so even in its fictional and retrofuturistic setting the game managed to draw me in to the point I've spent > 300 hours playing it.

Fallout 3 was awesome.

Do you think it's worth that price for just the DLCs (I already have the base game)? The GOTY was $4.99 during the last holiday sale, but given how much I loved FO3 I don't mind throwing the equivalent of two cheap burgers Bethesda's way.

 

[Imp]

Ugh... I just bought the Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Tactics collection. Bought Tactics long ago but never played the first two games aside from the demos. Wanted to get them when younger, never got around to it.

I've seen this several times during their sales. Most of the times the bundles are pricier if the games themselves are on sale.

Fallout New Vegas 3 was a great game if you like post-nuclear RPGs. Just get the Mission Mojave Ultimate Edition quest bug fixes mod from Nexus and you're good to go.

Is there some similar bug-fixes mod for the base game?

I see that Mission Mojave Ultimate Edition mod requires Fallout New Vegas + all DLCs in order to work.

 

[cytoSiN]

How are ppl getting to level 100,000,000 in the mini game? Seems impossible in the time allotted.

 

[dud]

Don't know if it's already been mentioned ...

... But isn't it a bit ironic that Steam is having their "summer" sale in the Spring? Summer does not officially begin until 09:39, Sunday, 21 June (tomorrow).

Here's hoping that Steam reinstates some of their bigger discounts before the sale ends!

 

[Adrenaline]

I have bought:

Grim Dawn
FO New Vegas U
FO 3 GotY
FO 1, FO 2 and FO Tactics
Batman AO
Batman AA
Batman AC
MGS 5 GZ
Mass Effect Collection
Ikaruga
Age of Empires Legacy Bundle including The Forgotten
Hero Siege , HS The Depths of Hell and HS The Karp of Doom
Deus Ex GotY

Ug, I am so stupid. I bought Broken Age because I forgot the news that its a dead end. I won't even install it, maybe they will refund.

Is Mass Effect 1 worth $4.39? If not I might get Just Cause 2 instead, I have never seen it so cheap.

 

[Seba]

Is Mass Effect 1 worth $4.39?

Yes, but it is even cheaper now. Better get the bundle (Mass Effect 1 + 2), and then buy Mass Effect 3 from Origin (ME 3 it is not available on Steam).

yep, they should

 

[TheVrolok]

Picked up "Life is Strange." Only thing so far.

 

[crownjules]

Picked up Ultimate Generals: Gettysburg. Only game so far. For just under $2, it's well worth it if you liked Sid Meier's Gettysburg.

 

[Ricochet]

Yes, but it is even cheaper now. Better get the bundle (Mass Effect 1 + 2), and then buy Mass Effect 3 from Origin (ME 3 it is not available on Steam).

If you don't mind Origin I would get the trilogy for $9 or $10 through Amazon. Every now and then the Amazon sale comes up.

 

[cytoSiN]

Saints Row IV GOTC worth it for $7.99? Or just get base game for $4.99?

 

[Craig234]

Picked up "Life is Strange." Only thing so far.

Got that on greenamgaming for 25% off, $1 less than Steam.

 

[Craig234]

How are ppl getting to level 100,000,000 in the mini game? Seems impossible in the time allotted.

Is that level? Or gold?

I was in a game something like 7000 or 9000 level, with 100m gold type amounts.

 

[Craig234]

Ug, I am so stupid. I bought Broken Age because I forgot the news that its a dead end.

What's that about?

I kickstarted it but like most games haven't played it yet.

 

[Craig234]

Picked up Ultimate Generals: Gettysburg. Only game so far. For just under $2, it's well worth it if you liked Sid Meier's Gettysburg.

It' $3.74 on the daily deal.

Looked pretty good.
