Going to grab Breath of Death, To The Moon, Toki Toki, and Eschalton.

thought about  Lost Horizon, but really need things I can play in short bursts.

 
I didn't think there was any way I'd spend any money on this sale... but...

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon... I had never heard of this. Maybe because I work two jobs, don't own Far Cry 3, and I live under a rock. But holy crap is this game fun and hilarious. And to get a round number, I finally added KOTOR II to my Star Wars library.

Just wanted to evangelize an overlooked gem, Retro/Grade, a steal at 75% off, $2.49:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/222660/

If you are a fan of the old PS2 Frequency or Amplitude, or any GH/RB music game, definitely pick this up. Great music and dazzling visual effects. At first I assumed it was similar to procedurally generated "use your music library" games like Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, etc., which I'm less interested in, but it's definitely a tightly-designed music game. It has a really creative scheme for explaining why those colored beads are coming towards you, that's tough to describe and better left to discover.

It's obvious that a ton of work and polish went into this game, and it's a shame that it's had a tough time finding its audience - there is a really interesting video of the designer's GDC talk where he talks openly about the personal difficulties he faced during development and through the poor sales post-release: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1017963/Obsessive-Compulsive-Development-Retro-Grade

Longtime mostly lurker on this thread.. Would love to fill up my Steam friends list for anyone interested: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197987956417

Although it's high on my wishlist, I'm passing and it makes me feel like a dick.

RE: Hotline Miami

[customspoiler="you gotta be here -- there's free beer']
I didn't see what everyone else saw in. The gameplay is frantic and well done and all, but it just gets repetitive and annoying. I played through half of the game, got tired of it, and have never gone back. The music is interesting in the way that an experimental art piece painted entirely with Play-Doh is. You look/listen to it, go "Ooh, that's kinda neat.", and then you walk away. It didn't grab me at all, but it was "neat".

All in all, it's not a bad game, but my word people hype the shit out of it. It's not that fantastic.



[/customspoiler]

RE: Deep, personal emotional confessionals

Shout out to my partners in crime. I've got straight up social anxiety, depression, have had MPD, and too much else to spill on an internet forum. If you're not fucked in the head, you've been living under a rock, or something's wrong with you.

[/QUOTE]

If any of you think you're mentally weak, using the internet as a confessional should squash all that. Ballsy.

God Speed

Another disappointing Steam sale. Only 10 "deals" per day plus 15 Flash/CC sales. If there wasn't so much repetition, perhaps it would've been a little better, but with the 2nd chance to buy the previous day's top 10 deals, there was no urgency and with so little selection, it felt like even more repetition. Very few "ZOMG! Teh dealz! Bye bye bye!" like a $20 Bioshock Infinite would've been. My meager purchases:
Click to expand...

Previous biannual Steam-sales showcased games and offered mostly everything else at its maximum expected discount and that was often 75%.

This one has 35%s (Ubi) and feeble, seemingly arbitrary discounts that prey on new CAGs.


My wishlist is fraught with 50%s and even some undiscounted what-the-fcuk-mans. Mahjong Quest, why?

forthenguyen said:
[customspoiler=AIDS]I would say that comparison is a stretch at best. Their actual store and servers is still the best besides at price changeover points (see GamersGate, GMG, and hell, even Amazon). Also, Steam is a free service. You pay for game licenses which Valve profits from, but for all intents and purposes, the service is free. [/customspoiler]You aren't entitled to game discounts, which by the way are way better than what console gamers get, nor are you entitled to consistent communication on cards which aren't all Valve but require developer cooperation. [customspoiler=AIDS]I would agree about the non-existent customer service, however.[/customspoiler]

If I was in charge of one of Steam's competitors, I would've watched all the community votes closely, and today would've been the day I matched the price on all the deals that failed to make an appearance on Steam. Sure, they didn't win the majority of the votes, but every game got enough votes where you have to believe there are many people out there wishing for those prices to materialize. It would be the perfect opportunity for other digital distributors to gain some new customers.

Anyone else have problems with the X360 controller in Sonic Racing Transformed? I have it set to use the 360 controller and it works just fine in all the menus. Once I get into a game though nothing works. I have to unplug it just to bring up the damn pause menu.

no, wish I could blame the controller but I suck at it lol

I did do the fix posted by munny though

Finally got my 360 controller to work with Sonic Racing Transformed. Seemed that deleting the control xml in my documents along with restarting a ridiculous amount of times did the trick. Whoever mentioned deleting the xml, thank you.

Really surprised at how fun the game is. We should try to get a CAG night for it going as I think that'd be a blast.

lol you are funny mr squirrel

no, but I've only had the balls to open one but I did sell the other 3 and the person that bought them didn't get one either

Come to think of it, I haven't gotten a foil yet out of over 170 card drops and counting.

At least the summer badge makes it easy to see how much you've spent:

You have spent approximately $183.39 USD in the store since the sale began.

I always thought there weren't enough book-reading simulations on Steam.

Save the $2.37 and some of your sanity by taking this game out of your cart. Near useless grenades and iron sights, no jumping, regular enemies that shrug off a direct rocket hit and minibosses that take about 50 point blank shotgun blasts to the head to kill are just a few of the features it offers. I played through it twice on 360 to get 1000/1000 GS and I will never forget the hell it put me through.

My guess is the summer sale cards will likely go up in price tomorrow, but then when people realize they're not selling, they'll start to plummet as people try to frantically offload them. Then they'll eventually stabilize in a week or maybe longer.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't expect them to skyrocket in value after the sale ends. They were simply far too common. Everyone that voted in every community vote got 12, every $10 spent gave you one, and every badge you created gave you another. Currently, every getaway card on the market has nearly 40,000 listings and those don't include the people that might have been hoarding them. Not to mention, the wallpapers and emotes you get for creating the badge are all almost under a nickel.

 
I guess I'll add one more adventure game for $4.99. From the Lucasarts of Germany.

Good enough for me.

edit: Deponia.

Tempted on some of those "indie classics" like Cave Story and Binding of Issac, but....

Over the course of the sale, I got Fable III, Awesomenauts, Monaco, Mars: War Logs, Dishonored (ROW), Organ Trail: Director's Cut, Dishonored - The Knife Of Dunwall DLC, Ys I and II Chronicles, and FEZ. My backlog just keeps growing.

Both true and false.

Out of the box, Bioware can't really so much be praised for making the games well for console as they can be condemned for not putting much work into the PC versions' graphics. However, this is what modding is for.

Basically, the PC version looks MUCH better the the console versions with those mods.

omg, Steam wallet = real money. It takes very little effort to convert it into PayPal. People really need to stop saying that. >_>

Like others said, it's not a game you "beat", since it's more like an extremely in depth board game. Also, even if you aren't a turn-based-strategy fan, I'd say that there's a chance you'd like it. I'm not a big strategy guy myself, and I love Civ V.

Play the demo and buy it if it appeals to you. It's really an awesome game, especially as you get used to it, just be sure to start on the lowest difficulties first!

The Civlopedia is an overlooked feature; it's a unique and fascinating presentation that people killed for way back when.

The Binding Of Isaac is such a good game its definitely my favorite game that I bought from the Steam Sale there is so much replay value in that game.

 
Well here is what I got (I wouldn't call it a haul, but it is more for my ever present backlog):

Bought for myself :bouncy:

Blocks That Matter - $1.24

Terraria - $2.49

System Shock 2 - $2.49

Fly'N - $2.49

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack - $1.99

Scribblenauts Unlimited (with Ticket to Ride) - $4.24

To The Moon - $2.99

Puzzler World - $0.99

Gift to Me (Thanks you guys) :applause:

Magical Drop V

Tomb Raider Underworld

Y's Chronicles

Just Cause

Gifted to Others :grouphug:

Critter Crunch

Just Cause (I guess what goes around comes around)

All in all I definitely would have grabbed more was it not for the "new payment method, locked out of market" nonsense, but I'm rather glad with what I got and the fact that none of it was out of my personal pocket (Amazon and Trading Card Money). Favorite thing about the sale: the fact it is now over and I won't have to update the thread thrice a day :oldman:

Speaking of which I'm planning on making a new thread now once the new week's deals go live, but I'm giving anyone that wants to step up to the plate the opportunity to do it first...

Not quite. I crafted up to a Level 5 getaway badge. Why? I crafted one just to have the cards locked for if and when they implement the card binder feature, and I got a rare Skyrim profile that pretty much paid for it. So I did it again. And again. In total, I got 3 Rare Skyrim backgrounds (value varies from 1.10 to 2.10), 1 Rare Torchlight background (around .30-.40), and 1 useless postcard background, and maybe an emoticon worth a quarter? So they're not all low-demand backgrounds.

 
Well for my first Steam Summer Sale I guess I might have been one of the few that didnt spend over $20 on games.

What I bought:

-The Binding Of Isaac + Wrath of Lamb DLC

-McPixel

-Blocks That Matter

-Just Cause (during price glitch)

-Tomb Raider 1-3 (during price glitch)

-Garry's Mod

-Organ Trail

-Strike Suit Infinity

-Serious Sam Classic-First Encounter

A fellow CAG gave me Magicka as well.

 
Rather than post a haul summary, I'm just going to delight in the fact that I spent exactly $60.01 on Steam storefront purchases this sale, nearly perfectly maximizing my card gains.  Cards that will be worth a nickel each in short order when it's realized that supply crushes demand.

Still managed to only spend card money ever since the card beta began.

Still hoping Amazon properly matches the Steam version of Rogue Legacy so I can use GOONCAVE and have made a purchase there this sale.  Thinking I'm just going to end up waiting for the game to go on sale cheaper.  (Yes, I'm aware it's $11.99 with Steam and DRM free from the dev.)

 
So Gamestop has started their summer sale, I just started looking through the games and the discounts so far make the Steam summer sale look Amazing...

And also food for thought, I don't understand why people want to wait to sell cards to make a few pennies extra when barely anything will be on sale. The 25% off sales will sound tempting again because it is just cardz money...

This was pretty fun for my first Steam sale.  Here's my haul (Which isn't much since I'm a bit unemployed at the moment...)

-Ghost Master

-Terraria

-Don't Starve

-Torchlight II

-Orcs Must Die 2

-Sword of the Stars: The Pit

-Strike Suit Infinity

-Time Gentlemen, Please / Ben There, Dan That Double Pack

-Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack

The only thing that really frustrated me is that I didn't get many Summer Cards, because I'm only Level 3, and I'm not eligible to use the Market until Monday night around 8pm.  Kinda lame, but I hope to be in a better position for the next sale.

 
What I got out of this is.. 
Half-Life Anthology
Organ Trail x2 
Terraria 4-pack
Mirror's Edge

Deus Ex
The Last Remnant

I regret not getting Baldur's Gate and System Shock, but oh well. S'est la vis. There's still one flash sale left and then the holiday sale.

 
Pretty disappointing sale as far as I was concerned. I have 2 rules for Steam: 1. At least 75% off or GTFO and 2. Nothing over $5. I try pretty hard not to break either rule. There wasn't whole lot of non-indie stuff that I had been wanting that met both of those criteria. I was especially disappointed that Anno 2070 and Shogun 2 didn't get cheap enough for me. The constant repeats were also pretty disheartening. That being said I did manage to get a few things I wanted:

Fallout Collection - $2.99

Torchlight 2 - $3.75 (part of a 4 pack)

Worms Revolution - $2.81 (part of a 4-pack)

Worms Revolution - Season Pass - $3.74

Worms Armageddon - $3.74

Just Cause Collection - $4.99

Tropico 4: Vigilante DLC - $.99

System Shock 2 - $2.49

The Witcher 2 - $4.99

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum - $4.99

Cities XL Platinum - $7.49 (Wow I didn't even remember it being over $5)

For a total of $42.87 spent.

I usually try to avoid buying any indie games on Steam since it seems like every time I buy one it just ends up in a bundle, but during the big Steam sales I usually do end up digging through the hidden gems lists and picking up a couple for the hell of it. After looking at bunch of lists I've narrowed it down to the following games and I need some help deciding between them. I'm probably only looking to spend $5-$10 on these total:

Fowl Space

Agricultural Simulator 2011: Extended Edition

Demolition, Inc.

Governor of Poker 2 - Premium Edition

Go Home Dinosaurs!

Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy

Magical Drop V

The Political Machine 2012

Puzzle Quest 2

They Bleed Pixels (I'm extremely worried this will be in a bundle very soon)

Under the Ocean

Flora's Fruit Farm (LOL)

4 Elements

Fortune Summoners

Chantelise - A Tale of Two Sisters

Puddle

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack

Winter Voices (Any of the specific DLC's I should get?)

Cart Life

Defy Gravity Extended

Retro/Grade

I liked the new Bionic Commando. I feel like it was one of those games that thanks to brand identity, was maligned for not being what people wanted, instead of for being bad.

I think the biggest problem was probably that people wanted an open world swing-a-thon, but instead you get these linear paths, and if you stray to explore you get killed by invisible walls of death under the pretense of radiation. Also, the game doesn't remember anything you have done after the previous checkpoint, so you have to get challenges and bonus pickups again when you die.

The story was also terrible. Unfortunately it is so terrible that it bypasses "so terrible it's good" and just becomes "so terrible it's terrible". Worth a laugh though.

I enjoyed the mobility that the arm allows for in combat. I've never played any of the Spider Man games, and Just Cause 2 isn't really a swinging game, so it wasn't the same either.

P.S. It's true Rearmed is better though.

This is spot on. The game had its flaws but overall it is a good game.

 
Just bought the skyrim UK from Gamers gate.  100% confirmed region free.  Even for 18.50 after currency charge it is a very good deal.  Far and away beats steams 36 (plus tax for me.)

I was thinking about They Bleed Pixels being in a bundle, but I said fuck it and purchased on GMG (actually bought 2) during their big sale. You can get it even cheaper now with their 30 percent coupon (unless the one I got in the email was one-time use sort of thing). But at any rate, it's cheaper over there b/c of the 20 percent coupon. I think 2 guys made it, and they say DLC is coming soon. It's more frustrating than I thought it would be, but if the goal is to just play through the game [combat is clunky, doesn't have to be as awkward as it is], it's completely possible.
