Oh, wow. Crazy savings.

I've got my mind set on a few games and I'll try to limit myself to those. There aren't any games I really want on Steam apart from those I've got on my wishlist. Maybe I'll finally start going through my backlog when that's done.

Re: Last Remnant, I got it on Steam a while ago, but the battle system never made any sense to me so I couldn't get into it. Maybe I'm just dumb.

I was looking at The Last Remnant but the HUD turned me off completely.

I want a PC FPS. What are the odds of MW3 or even Black Ops seeing a price drop?

 

[eznark]

Cant speak for Risen 2, but Risen 1 was... really bad.

Fuck that, Risen 1 is fantastic. Risen 2 is mediocre but better than Divinity 2.

Pretty good, but it will be a shitty 50% reduction or something. Crysis will probably be super cheap...that's back on Steam now right?

Crysis never left, but Crysis 2 recently reappeared, yes.

poking around a bit more at gamersgate.. looking at:

dungeon siege 3 for 5
just cause 2 + all DLC for 12.50
last remnant for 7.50

should i wait to check out the steam sale this week or get these now? :\

Hmmm....



j/k, Black Ops has been on sale 11 times, lowest being $29.99

I think 100% you should totally hold your breath, my sources say the games will be on sale for a buck two fifty.

I personally think all the DLC for Just Cause 2 is mediocre at best. The base game has been $4.99 many times on multiple sites during multiple sales over the past couple years. Was just $5 on Gamefly download last week. No matter where you get it, it's a steam game so you just need a key. Don't waste $7.50 on the DLC. Use that money toward something better during the steam sale.

 

[Levyne]

The Last Remnant love (or at least eagerness for people to try it) brings a tear to my eye

Most of you will like it I feel. Little rough around the edges on the "second disk" but still very enjoyable.

alright thanks!

 

[SteveWD40]

I would be up for Black Op's in a daily deal but I doubt it will dip below 50% just cos it's COD.

Also, Penny Arcade Ep3 by Zeboyd hit's as well, $4.99 and Cthulu Saves the World for free in that price...

Last Remnant and Dungeon Siege probably won't get any cheaper on Steam. Just Cause has been cheaper already. DLC doesn't really add anything aside from some weapons and vehicles.

But it's all just guesswork. If you think the game is worth the price there, just get it.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

All I want is for American Nightmare to go on sale, be it Steam or GOG.

 

[Stallion Free]

Fuck that, Risen 1 is fantastic.

Yeah, I beat Risen 1 earlier this year and really loved it. It was like the only game I played for a week or so. The 35 hours I spent with it never felt boring and the world design was top notch.

Oh the writing was surprisingly good too.

"That's a pretty catchy song," we said. "Who sings that?" Well, we don't want to upset you, so we won't type it here, but suffice it to say the band that wrote 'Safety Dance' has the most unthinkably offensive name we've ever heard.

I love the TF2 guys so fucking much.

The only thing "...really bad" about it was the voice acting. I loved that game. Every bit as much as Skyrim.

Awww, I really loved the main voice actor. He was just so damn endearing.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I can see this thread descending into madness already

 

[kswiston]

I doubt you'll see anywhere near that sort of discount for Max Payne since it just came out and Skyrim still sells well so I doubt we'll see anything over 50%, most likely 33% but you never know.

I could see 50% off as the daily for Skyrim and 33% for the duration of the sale. I highly doubt the game will go lower than that though. Like you said, it is still in the top 10 best seller's list. Also, Bethesda is pretty stingy with the sales on their Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3 stuff. We rarely even get Oblivion or Morrowind on Sale for 75% off. Fallout 3 GOTY edition was out for 2 years before we got a 75% off sale. It took like a year and a half to get a 66% off sale.

 

[MRORANGE]

28th it seems.

Prepare yourself, the deluge of "is x worth it", will x be cheaper on a daily deal" and "omg just bought so many games" posts are coming.

Would love it if it were today to coincide the week starting along with the TF2 update.

But that's just me wanting sales.

The one DLC that gives your parachutes jet boosters is essential IMO. The land vehicles control like shit and it's a pain to buy or search for an air vehicle every time you travel so it's easier to just fly with the fast parachute.

The negative about it is when you die or restart a checkpoint/mission you lose them and have to buy more. But you can get mods to either make you invincible or make every black market item free.

With just as many posts claiming, "Sale sucks, I own all these games!"

So, probably stating the obvious here, but Pyromania ends Wednesday -> Steam Sale starts Thursday?

Thursday strikes me as a mildly odd day to start, but it makes sense with everything else that's going on.

Edit: I see now this is already pretty much established. Had never really registered the history of Steam Sale start dates before.

For some reason I always thought Steam summer sales started on a Sunday at 1800 BST, never realised they're on a Thursday.

most people seem to get paid on a thursday, so it makes sense.

If only Blizzard had sales like that!!

 

[echoshifting]

I think this is the gaming "event" I look forward to most each year. It's much easier to tolerate the run-up to E3 these days, especially since we find out virtually everything new during that period anyway. Not even Blizzcon hype can top this excitement. I don't even need games! I'm expecting to spend much less this time around than ever before. It's just fun to toss recommendations back and forth, try a smattering of this or that based on those recommendations and watching what does well with the gaf crowd. Can't wait to write glowing recommendations for Defense Grid, Orcs Must Die and Atom Zombie Smasher for the umpteenth time!

I know the thread is already a gibbering mess...sorry. >.< Can't help it. Three more days!

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

I agree. It's a shame that Risen 2 didn't turn out so good. I can see Piranha Bytes going under next gen if they continue in the same vein.

Eh, those posts come and go. The truly special post I'm looking forward to is the "Oh my god, I've been working 240 hours straight and missed the whole sale! =(" post.

Those are like fine wine.
