It's because I've been in on a 4-pack that ended up not happening twice over.

I ended up playing MineCraft instead.

 

[MRORANGE]

so is anyone else gonna have a budget for the summer sales or are they gonna just ride it out and take out a loan afterwards?

my target: £80 for the whole sale.

 

[Stallion Free]

Actually I want Half-Life Source for $1 as well. I still don't own that.

You shouldn't want to own it. It's a complete waste of disk space. OG Half-Life is significantly better.

I normally aim for $50 or so for miscellaneous purchases + whatever it costs to take advantage of key daily deals, which generally brings me to around 100 usd total.

 

[Kweh]

I might pick up Dragon Age 2 if it's around 6-7 quid

If I can keep it under $100 total for the sale, I'll count it as a win.

Ah, I suppose that's fair enough. It's well worth £5.99 though.

I'm building a new PC at the same time so I'm allowing a max of £150 for the Steam sale. Once that's gone, it's gone. Honest.

I got really into Steam when I saw the Christmas sales, and it made me thankful I don't have much of a gaming pc, otherwise I'd spend a boatload of money. For this Summer Sale, I'll probably just put 50$ in my wallet and that'll be my limit.

 

[Salazar]

I'm going in with an open heart, streaming hair, no pants.

Probably $100 AU. Any more than that and I will start to get the wobbles.

 

[toastyToast]

I wouldn't mind seeing how bad DA2 is if it's priced <$5

So

Portal 2
King's Bounty complete
Alpha Protocol

Max is $50 which seems somewhat doable.

 

[Alien Bob]

With every sale my biggest problem seems to be that I already bought everything I wanted in the last sale...

It's an oddly saddening feeling.

I just drop a few games in my wishlist and pray I have the willpower to ignore everything that isn't on there.

Right now all I have on there is:

Drakensang
Drakensang: The River of Time
DOW2: Retribution

on the fence about Divinity 2 and Last Remnant

(big RPG fan obviously)

 

[1-D_FTW]

I've got 75 dollars in my Steam wallet and another 100 parked in my paypal account. I really hope I keep it under 100. Probably will. I was planning of getting Brink and Dirt 3, but with the impressions out there, I don't think I'll get either unless they have a significant sale. Dirt 3 definitely needs to be 66% for me to bite. Brink I could probably be talked into for more money, but considering nobody on my friends list plays it any more, I'm not sure I should believe it. Those were the two games that threatened to send me over 100 this summer.

 

[Archie]

I want some indie games for $2.50

 

[coopolon]

I'm trying to temper my excitement for a summer sale because we actually have no idea if it's going to happen again or not. It probably will, but this thread is going to be interesting if they don't.

The other interesting thing is if their competitors try to compete like they do during Xmas sales.

 

[Archie]

Playing Jamestown makes me wish there were more shmups on Steam.

I'm not even a fan of the genre, but the game is great. There should be more shmups of equal or better quality.

 

[The Technomancer]

When does the summer sale start again?

 

[LocoMrPollock]

When does the summer sale start again?

No one really knows, but last year it was the 24th of June.

I have a feeling we might be setting ourselves up for disappointment.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

When does the summer sale start again?

Checking the summer sales thread from last year, it started on June 24, so I guess next week. June 20 or June 27 maybe?

[Luigi87]

There needs to be a Summer Sale.

How else will people remain convinced to stay in the safety of indoors, and not go outside where they could be eaten by sharks?!

 

[Archie]

No League of Legends?

 

[amrod]

Spiral Knights looks sweet!

 

[ShaneB]

Awesome! Perhaps I'll finally check out Spiral Knights.

 

[drizzle]

I guess some free MMOs and ONE action game were added to the service today? I can't find the first two.

Global Agenda
Champions Online
Forsaken World
Spiral Knights, published by Sega?
Alliance of Valiant Arms, the one action game.


Edit: Damn, beaten..

 

[ChaoticEko]

ha, I was asking myself the same thing.

[ChaoticEko]

Oh boy. The description almost made me buy it. Almost.

The thumbnail for the game almost made me buy it. Looks like a golden unicorn!

 

[Luigi87]

Raising one's own demonic horse unicorn is rather tempting...

 

[webrunner]

They're all windows only right? The store pages lack the little windows/mac/whatever icon in the "play now" window.

 

[jaundicejuice]

I seriously hate how Valve patches games. They don't diff and merge files, just replace them outright. First a 9gb patch for Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, now a 5gb patch for Section 8: Prejudice. I'm lucky I don't have bandwidth caps.

Anyone have an Opinion on Darkspore? I loved Spore, played the darkspore demo, but couldn't decide on it.

Seems like a great game for rage-gifting.

Its been $25 to $30 on amazon for like a month.

 

[RealMeat]

Is it dumb that I'm going to check out those F2P games just because they're on steam?
