Oh boy.

 

[Nabs]

Ugh. Not available in my country. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.

Lets hope that BioShock 2 gets the full Steam treatment soon.

 

[Grief.exe]

Got Bioshock 1, Thank you!!.

(Should I play it as soon as possible or play System Shock 1 and 2 first?)

System Shock 1 isn't worth playing anymore.

The story between System Shock 2 and Bioshock 1 is completely separate. It doesn't matter which one you play first, but start with Bioshock 1 since you have that one.

Both are amazing games.

Nope. You can pick it up off xbox.com for $5.

You need to buy it from Xbox Marketplace.
Link: Minerva's Den

Wait a minute. Minerva's Den isn't on Steam is it?

It should be coming to Steam very soon.

The registry app is getting updated multiple times per day. I think they are trying to coincide Bioshock 2, Arkham Asylum, and Arkham City rereleases with the Summer sale.

Let's see them go on sale after they revealed the sale date.

pretty sure somebody else did the same thing last year (or during the winter sale)

So 7/11 - 7/22, huh? Cool.

Pretty much a confirmation for me. Totally buying La Mulana. Again.

It should be coming to Steam very soon.

Will keep an eye out then! Thanks Grief!

Hope Valve gives us a triple combo of sale, trading cards and a cheevo hunt. Getting those achievements was what got me back into steam and pc gaming.

I enjoy achievement hunts, but the CrimeCraft snowball achievement in the 2011 Winter Sale meta-game was terrible.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Best news ever. I already have La Mulana, but it dearly needs more exposure and for $8 it is an absolute STEAL.

 

[intheinbetween]

morning guys,

so tomorrrow, 11th, is the D-day?

Will you Brits be having your summer sale hours before us Yankees?

 

[Nymerio]

I want Shift 2 Unleashed but I don't want to spend 15 €. Why is it still so expensive :/

 

[Grief.exe]

Everything starts at 10 am Pacific.

It begins when Valve updates the store at 10am Pacific Time.

It's $6 on the US store. Ask a GAFer to help you out!

July 11th confirmed. Thank God. All day Thursday and Friday to watch for sales and play before I go on vacation.

 

[oipic]

I enjoy achievement hunts, but the CrimeCraft snowball achievement in the 2011 Winter Sale meta-game was terrible.

So, so BAD that it was good, if you know what I mean - uninstalling that abomination after snaring the achievement was one of my happiest moments in gaming.

Would love some form of achievement-related metagame, but I doubt it'll happen, unfortunately.

My memory is shoddy - did the registry get spammed with achievement-related game updates prior to the previous hunt?

IT BEGINS WHEN GABEN DEMANDS IT.

That's what I said.

I don't think we had a decent registry snooper back then.

 

[Salsa]

I was gonna contact stump to have a modbot FAQ on the sales thread but I guess it's not really needed since there's no keys involved right

 

[Voidguts]

dude, that was nothing compared to the "Survive 20 Minutes While Listening to a Christmas Radio Station" achievement in Beat Hazard.. I still have nightmares - could only make it 15 minutes and refused to cheat it.

edit: LA MALUNA is getting cards? awwwwwwwwyearrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've heard it's hard as nails, but is it a ridiculously high barrier to entry?

Bieber for 15 minutes. 15. Minutes.

I didn't and I'm fine! Consider your lesson learned.

biggest enemy is yourself, dark souls style, in the sense that if you're patient and work on patterns and such, you'll be fine

game is cheap on purpose tho, so expect to just step on fake ledges and fall over spikes or whatever. It's not I wanna be the guy or anything like that, but there are signs with very loose clues on some of the stuff you need to do/how to do it and it's encouraged that you read and think about it. Just kinda watch your step and think about it stuff. Hard to compare to anything else.

Perfect gif. I have a whole $3 to spend

 

[kuYuri]

July 11th also makes sense as Summer Sale 2012 was the 12th last year, also a Thursday.

 

[Smash88]

Who is making the summer sale thread this year anyways?

 

[Mundharmonika]

Redeeming dozens of 50€ steam wallet codes as we speak in preparation for tomorrow.

Spoiler

J/K only got one

 

[cyberheater]

Everything starts at 10 am Pacific.

So that's something like 6:00pm in the UK. Okay.

Also should I buy the Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box because it's cheap and I remember enjoying the game even though I have it for 360 and don't play it anymore?

 

[SmarterUnconscious]

I enjoy achievement hunts, but the CrimeCraft snowball achievement in the 2011 Winter Sale meta-game was terrible.

hahah, I remember that one. Took me so long to actually complete it. Good times

 

[toddhunter]

I've heard it's hard as nails, but is it a ridiculously high barrier to entry?

Yeah. Best to play it for 20-30 hours and if you are not making progress demand a full refund.

Spoiler

hopefully not too obscure...

It single-handedly soured me on F2P gaming.

Absolutely!

Ultimate Box doesn't include Big Surf island and cops and robbers... EA didn't bother putting that DLC in the PC version.

I got it, but then again I posted it in the thread lol.

Salsa is gonna get banned because of the Animal Crossing thread, so I will probably have to.
