Xulima has been 50% a few times, anything more than that would be pretty close to a historical low.

Also, this is one game where I think the "fluff" DLC (The Talisman of Golot) is extremely beneficial to playing the game. It has some features that really smooth out some aspects of the game. Players used to a more forgiving CRPG experience might want to pick it up as well if it is less than a US dollar or so.

Also, game is incredible.

Thanks man! I didn't check the DLC but I'll probably pick it up too depending on the deal, although it seems it makes you a bit op, haha.

Yes, I understand that, but I thought it's weird it shows up nonetheless. Though when you click on it, it just refreshes the page.

It's trying to rederict you to a store page that doesn't exist, so just reroutes to the front page.

Real strange that would show up for you though, database page hasn't been officially touched in years.

 

[Red Hood]

Is it me, or this summer sale is complete shit?

This is my first summer sale and I have to admit, it's pretty underwhelming so far. Either I'm very disciplined or I thought Steam would make my wallet hurt? Thus far I've only bought Child of Light and the BioShock Triple Pack. I'll get the Valve Complete Pack on the last day as well.

Yeah weird, I think they wanted to feature DAO instead.

Any good tutorials for Dominions IV?

Always happens. Once you have amassed enough he's, each subsequent sale cannot possibly live up to the last.

This is the best sale Valve has done in years. Since you have the majority of your must have titles, you are not seeing it from the same perspective ad someone new to the platform.

I am obviously not new and still loving this one. They expanded the number of deals per day and are putting smaller titles on the frontpage that wouldn't have gotten any exposure before. There's also more than enough new stuff and new best prices, if someone can't find anything to buy that's not the sale's fault.

 

[Diablos]

There's only so many things you will want to buy. There have been so many sales. I bought two games I already own (and sold off the console copy to make up the difference for one of them), and also purchased Killer is Dead. I'd be surprised if I buy more than 2-3 games before this is all over.

It's the contrary for me. My wishlist is like 400+ titles instead of the meager 100 it had last year.
That exploration update was brutal.

 

[Se7enSword]

Just bought the Substance Bundle!!! My wallet is crying a lil bit since I just also backed Shenmue 3 for $300. lol Can't wait to get my hands deep and dirty into this!!!!! Think that's it for me though in the sale.

Also, the amount of cards I got... lol

That's cool, but did you buy Ys when you had the chance?

 

[HowardRoark]

Should I just buy Crusader Kings II + just the expansion DLC, or the whole game + DLC pack?
It's 29.41 vs. 39.99.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Bought Sanctum 1 for cheap. Got Alien: Isolation finally, that means I am probably out for the rest of this sale.

 

[MrDoctor]

Yes or no on DOA5?

 

[Arminsc]

Yes or no on DOA5?

It's a port from the ps3 version instead of the ps4 version and it still hasn't multiplayer implemented iirc. Doesn't seem like the best deal right now, but probably there's people better informed than me.

Yes. Yes. and yes. Xulima was a great hidden gem for RPG fans. It can get a bit grindy, but it moves well enough that finishing isn't a slog.

I also agree with getting the Talisman DLC. It will probably be pennies and actually does help with gameplay a bit.

I think people are asking for well received AAA games in the last 6 months to suddenly be 66% off or more or something.

Also if you know what frequently goes on sale during the bigger sale events, you can skip those if you're not in a rush to play it. If you're not in a rush to play something like Civ5, you can wait for another time to scoop it up, because something like that always goes on sale.

Just looked this up on Reddit. The DLC pack is missing some key expansions, so I'm going to go the a la carte route.

 

[Sendero]

Any idea if MGS: Ground Zeroes will be in a higher sale than right now? I'm tempted to purchase that and Tales from the Borderlands, but I'm waiting for the GOG version on the later.

Kind of broke right now.

 

[Danthrax]

Welp, today went a LOT better, haha. Even at this high level, my team has been just rolling through levels in a few seconds. The game isn't strong enough for how high we've all upgraded, it seems.

Base click damage: 93,790

Looks like they've taken down the game for some time. I wonder if they decided the game is too easy and are going to make adjustments.

EDIT And now it's back up.

Doesn't it always go down around now ahead of the daily reset?

Usually the reset is immediate, but for a few minutes there it said they were doing "server maintenance".

It was a daily last sale. There's still plenty of time left, so just wait on GZ.

 

[TheBez]

Does anybody want to go in on a Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball 4-pack on Steam? I have one or two copies left. Price comes out to $3.40/ea.

 

[Benedict]

I ended at level 2500+ yesterday. Today I'm at level 144.
Doesn't really care since I'm only after the cards

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

To all Xulima newbs from this sale: All damage over time, and don't increase your caster's mana bar (they'll be potion junkies anyways).

Yes. Yes. and yes. Xulima was a great hidden gem for RPG fans. It can get a bit grindy, but it moves well enough that finishing isn't a slog.

I also agree with getting the Talisman DLC. It will probably be pennies and actually does help with gameplay a bit.

I wouldn't even say it's grindy, you just kill everything and know WHEN to go after stuff. There's even a set number of ranbats with some predictability and a borrowed Atlus encounter feature.

 

[Soi-Fong]

That's cool, but did you buy Ys when you had the chance?

Yup yup, at least Origins and Felghana.

 

[NoRéN]

Got less than 10 minutes to make a decision: Cook, Serve, Delicious and Antichamber.

Both games look interesting and are cheap. More interested in Antichamber. My question is are these games difficult and frustrating or difficult but still fun enough to power through if stuck?

 

[eot]

Is it me, or this summer sale is complete shit?

It is but
a) they have been worse for many years now
b) there are still several days left

 

[Se7enSword]

Yup yup, at least Origins and Felghana.

Fantastic!

 

[Willy Wanka]

Did they fix the game? I just joined a new one and got 4 card drops.

 

[Kandrick]

FFXIV is 7.99€. Sucks that you have to buy Heavensward on steam too.

 

[Burt]

There we go, Xulima and Doorkickers.

Is FFXIII worth playing?

 

[ksan]

buy lords of xulima, great game

 

[Duress]

wtf no animal or summer costume sale for sf4. weak

 

[Johan Liebert]

Getting redirected to Five Nights at Freddys when I select the FF franchise sale.

 

[Kinthalis]

Hmmm, total War Attila is now 33% off, time to bite, or do I wait?

 

[Lulubop]

Getting in on the Final Fantasy 7 hype.

 

[Werd]

Talos Principle 66%, that game looks very interesting... usually I either buy at launch or wait for a price drop + the discount, but might cave on this one.

 

[Nemesis121]

Final Fantasy franchise, I clicked, all was Freddy's.

Same lol...


50% of Deux Ex Franchise WTF?

 

[Benedict]

The Fall is an awesome game. Buy it.

 

[Kid Ska]

Holy shit do I need an e-mail confirmation for every trade I make on Steam?

 

[MacGurcules]

MS Flight Sim at 130% off, huh? Sounds like a deal. I'll take ten.

 

[ryan-ts]

Only 66% off Baldur's Gate 2. I was hoping for 75%, now I'm torn.

 

[holygeesus]

Door Kickers is a definite at that price. Good selection there IMO.

 

[Slayven]

anyone play Grav?

 

[oneida]

BTW even tho the flash sale says "Street Fighter Franchise" the only flash sale is USFIV, all the costume sales are valid thru june22

 

[Double D]

The Fall is an awesome game. Buy it.

It keeps switching between $3.99 and $1.99 and won't go into my cart. I'll buy it at either price really.

 

[Clearos]

If anyone is looking at payday2 it is cheaper(plus with other goodies) on humble bundle.
https://www.humblebundle.com/twitche3


Anyone have Verdun. Looks great but all reviews are the 10/10 Would do "X" again review.

EDIT: PD2 is the same price now but still you can get extra goods.

Well it's not going to get any cheaper this sale, so buy it if you find that price acceptable.

As for me, I am choosing to wait for a better price, probably at the winter sale.

 

[toastyToast]

First purchase will be Talos Principle
