That was one of the games I wanted this sale, never saw it again after it lost the vote

I also missed the Skyrim deal

BEST SALE EVER! lol

 
Who knows, maybe it'll be a big troll and Conquistadors will be 75% off as the first non-sale daily. Anything's possible but my gut tells me more like is that it'll be another couple of months before it legitimately hits 75% off.

Does the summer sale end when that encore counter goes down, or is there gon na be new deals for rest of day ? (22nd?)

Just checking, cause wanting to get Vampire Bloodlines before sale is over.

Thanks !
Click to expand...
Bloodlines has been $5 in the past so I would wait for a better discount unless you absolutely must play it now.

Anyway, going through the 75% off games list one last time before placing my last order of the sale. Can't wait to see who GabeN trolls this year. Don't think he can top Jade Empire though. :D

Deepest gratitude to MrNinjaSquirrel for keeping this thread up to date :applause:

But like others have said, really looking forward to waking up and having only a page or two of stuff to catch up on lol

 
There was a long drought but Bloodlines eventually started having regular $5 sales.  Gotten a bit of a resurgence in popularity.  Solid game, just rushed by the publishers so it's flaws are quite glaring.

 
So I've decided to go ahead and craft a level 5 Summer Sale badge just for the hell of it. I need 2 more for my current set, then I'll need 9 others when this set is done. I've just ran out of Steam wallet funds though so that puts a damper on things.

 
I love this thread sometimes :grouphug: I wonder which subliminal messages CheapD used to get us all here. I'm thinking it's something in the Fruity Oaty Bars commercial.

I've totted up my haul and it's bigger than I expected, but nothing tragic. I've seen the numbers and I can accept them.

What I can't bring myself to do is work out how much I've spent on cards. That particular horrible notion can stay locked underneath The Trap Door (crappy YouTube jokey link - http://youtu.be/iDs8VMz-cuc (probably wont even work)).
 
Skyrim summer sale cards have skyrocketed up near 30 cents. I wonder if this is going to be a trend before the sale ends?

 
My total haul was 29 games/DLCs for $81.86. Not bad since I thought I might spend $100 or more. Also grabbed Hotline Miami from Amazon for $2.12 and a bundle from Indie Gala for .99. Made $1.61 selling cards but I'm not sure if that was taken off the final total. :D

 
So at the last second, I get suckered in and spend some money...
 
$12.88 Total War: Shogun II Collection
$8.99 Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
$5.00 Civ. V: Gold Edition Upgrade
$3.39 Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II
 
Total:
$30.26
 
I'm sure this will get buried among all the baby picture summer sale haul posts but Giana just got a big update, including an optional easier mode. If you gave up on it frustrated you might want to revisit Giana Sisters now.

We are still tryin to chase down someone who can post the announcement.

So up until then I will just leave the changelog here:

Release note:
- We have added a remixed mode for all levels and bosses! The remixed mode is a lot easier to survive than its standard counterpart. The “easy” difficulty for Giana should roughly correspond to the “normal” difficulty for most platformer games. And, of course, the standard and hardcore modes are still there.
- The code has been optimized further to boost the performance of GSTD (DirectX10/11 mode only). The improved framerate should be the most noticeable on mid-range machines that required lower graphical settings to run smoothly in the previous version.

Mostly a DLC sale for me. We'll see if winter brings some better prices.

BL 2 Mechromancer

XCOM: EU DLCs

JA: Back in Action DLCs (character/mission packs: Shades of Red and Point Blank)

Highborn

Age of Empires II ($7.25 from JakeNome)

Total: $14.73

Plus Sword of the Stars: The Pit purchased with GabenBucks.

 
Final purchases cobbled together from the various hidden gem lists:

Agricultural Simulator 2011 - 2.49 USD

Defy Gravity - 0.74 USD

The Political Machine 2012 - 0.99 USD

Wizorb  - 0.74 USD

Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy - 2.49 USD

Fowl Space - 0.99 USD

Retro City Rampage - 2.99 USD

Under the Ocean - 2.49 USD

Go Home Dinosaurs! - 2.49 USD

Subtotal: 16.41 USD

I would expect most of these to end up in bundles very soon since whenever I buy an Indie game it almost always ends up in a bundle.

I see no mention of additional giftable copies of Conquistadors Moobs. What's up with that? I would have done most anything for a copy at that price. Played 12 hours of Bad Rats. Slayed an ugly troll. Whatever.

 
If you're thinking of buying Retro City Rampage, the dev has matched the Steam price on their site via the Humble Store. It lasts for another 13 18 (well, 17 now. Their font on this monitor made the 8 look like a 3. oops) hours and comes with a drm-free version and a Steam key.

Unless I get any last-minute orders for any of the Assassin's Creed games that I'm selling, I think I've just purchased the last few items that I'm going to get this sale: the 3 Ridge Racer DLCs that I was missing.

Pretty disappointing overall, really.

 
I wasn't looking at Conquistadors until Mooby mentions it "a couple" times. Now I want it too, It looks really awesome. I think (hope) GMG will have it at $5 very soon
 
I know complaining about the Summer Sale is the hip thing to do right now, but I think I had a really nice sale this year. Certainly more than the Winter Sale.  It was also a really-RPG sale, which means some time-consuming games.

Winter Voices bundle
Drakensang: Phileasson's Secret
The Dark Eye
Ys I and II Chronicles

The Witcher 2
Final Fantasy VII



Carpe Fulger Bundle
Dark Souls
Torchlight II
System Shock 2

Stealth Bastard Deluxe - The Teleporter Chambers

Just Cause



Just Cause 2 DLC



Strike Suit Infinity

 

Total cost: $20 real-money.  Everything else was paid for through cardz money and a $25 Gamestop giftcard.

I love RPGs and the art style is appealing to me, so that's what first drew me to it. There are a number of enthusiastic advocates for it here as well (Motoki and Utopian Machine, I think?)

Then the company that made it ran into financial problems, and it disappeared off Steam for about a year. I regretted not buying it -- at the time I was waiting for a full-episode bundle (there's still one episode forthcoming). The developer got the distribution rights back and released a new chapter in time for the Winter Sale, but I passed because I was trying to take it easy with frivolous spending. This time I made it a priority and purchased at the beginning of the sale. I wanted to support the developer and support this kind of indie game.

I haven't played it yet, so I can't give a content review, but I'm looking forward to finally giving it a whirl.

 
Hate to be a downer, but that was the most lackluster disappointing sale I've experienced [ever?]. I won't be holding my breath for winter sale or any more steam sales again. 

Total:

2.50$ System Shock 2

Thanks for the response. I was wondering why episodes weren't bundled but with one more to go that now makes sense.

Edited to add: Summer Getaway card prices are back down to where they were last night. I was trying to decide if I wanted to craft one more time or sell them all but it looks like I might as well craft another badge.

I was hesitant on buying from Steam - good thing I didn't.

This is an even BETTER option.

DRM-FREE + Steam-version = SOLD.

Looks like GOG version is, more or less, same as DRM-FREE Version.

EDIT:

Additional extras on GOG Version looks like it include Doorhanger, 11 Avatars & Papercraft - which ain't coming directly from the dev's in their DRM-FREE version.

Eh, I can do w/out that - just give me DRM-FREE and Steam version (Steam Achievements + Steam Cards in Steam-version).

Best of both worlds (DRM-FREE and Steam)!

Thanks louie!

Been tempted by RCR but not at the sale price, this is good enough for me though. It's 20% higher in the UK.
 
Am I missing something on these badges?  You need to have 5 sets of them to max your lvl... for every game... each game only gives you 4... so they're expecting people to seriously buy all their missing ones?  You figure FTL is a set of 8.. you get 4... so just for your first badge you need to buy 4 extras.  That's not including the other 32 you'd need to hit lvl 5.....

I love RPGs and the art style is appealing to me, so that's what first drew me to it. There are a number of enthusiastic advocates for it here as well (Motoki and Utopian Machine, I think?)

Then the company that made it ran into financial problems, and it disappeared off Steam for about a year. I regretted not buying it -- at the time I was waiting for a full-episode bundle (there's still one episode forthcoming). The developer got the distribution rights back and released a new chapter in time for the Winter Sale, but I passed because I was trying to take it easy with frivolous spending. This time I made it a priority and purchased at the beginning of the sale. I wanted to support the developer and support this kind of indie game.

I haven't played it yet, so I can't give a content review, but I'm looking forward to finally giving it a whirl.

The disappearance and reappearance of Winter Voices are also why I own the full bundle. I only had the first episode, beat it, and wanted more - then the dev ran into financial problems, and the game was pulled from Steam.

I bought the whole bundle during the last Winter sale. I've only played the first two episodes, and it's not bad. It's really different, featuring a "combat" system centered around defense, not actual attacks. The main character wrestles with her identity and her past in a sometimes elegant, sometimes over-the-top way. It's an intriguing game that can get a little murky at times, but seems to have a story worth experiencing, if you have a little patience.

You can trade cards as well.

You're not missing anything. They claim that it's to encourage you to pick and choose which games you want to max out the level on - obtaining those cards by trading cards from other for them - but it's hard to believe that's the main reason.
