Yeah, shinyloot is legit; they've been posting on Reddit for a fair amount of time.

I don't even know why I am looking forward to the summer sale, I have everything and I don't have time to play most of it.

There's a mod that repopulates outposts after you clear them too.

Ubi added it to the game in a patch a couple months ago.

I love FC3 and AC3. I'm weird, I know.

I can't help but notice I'm not hyped at all. All of these years of teases and rumors have made me impervious to any more of them to the point that I block out everything Half-Life 3 related as "Meh".

JUST GIVE ME HALF-LIFE 3 ALL OVER MY FACE GODDAMMIT

Though I would like to see what they've done in the engine front. Always liked Source.

so guys, though I guess this has been already asked many times before, when is the steam summer seal supposed to start?
(sorry Stump, but I'm gonna disregard your advice a few pages back just this once)

If you're so sure that it has been asked plenty of times before, why don't you read through the thread (at least the last few pages) yourself then?

The truth is nobody knows. Your guess is as good as mine; that is, completely based on speculation.

I don't understand why people keep asking when the Steam sale is. If the Steam store doesn't mention it, who would know that?

To be fair, last year the start date was leaked early by a developer, but of course most scoffed at it because it was well into July rather than late June.

I find it odd that DMC is the more expensive item seeing as it's older than RE6's PC port by a couple of months.

Is it wrong that I want both dmc and RE6?

I have this odd thing about wanting deep discounts on capcom games. Probably white whale phenomenon.

That feeling of the first Vampire Bloodlines sale was so good.

It's never wrong to want to increase your game count!

I remember the leak. But still, before the leak people were asking when big sale is gonna be months before the actual big sale.

It never is. I am soon in the next magic number: 500

That tends to happen early on as some newcomers join the general thread after participating in the Winter Sale thread and aren't familiar with Steam's sale history... then they eventually stop posting altogether and soon enough the thread is back to the same two-dozen-odd people posting all the time. :p

Nah, I want DmC too, despite having never played any of the others. Or maybe that's why I want it, I don't know.

I'll wait for the sweet $5-$10 price range.

Duuuuude... your last sentence is our one way ticket to Community. Don't give the mods any ideas :/

And that's every damn sale, it's annoying that in every page someone is asking about when the summer sale will start :/

Capcom needs to take a leaf from the Book of Squeenix and drastically discount its bombas sooner rather than later. DMC's recent Steam sale should have been at least -66%, not -40%.

Get Loaded Bethesda just went back up. (They ran out of Dishonored keys last time so this is an extension for those that missed out.)

Hurry! Those who wanted Dishonored but missed should buy now. The deal will close in 24 hours!

Not only Summer sales, all kind of bigger Steam sales are being asked. So annoying...

Does it come with steam keys?

Yes

All deals need to be on steam as that is were I have all my game spending money. Either that or steam wallet should become a new payment method.

It's worth noting that, as far as Steam itself is concerned, the cheapest Hunted has been is $12 and Brink hasn't been below $10 since the Winter Sale of 2011, so they're worth picking up if you collect games or are at all interested in them.

Steam redeemable?

Yes, they all are.

But lately most great deals are outside of Steam. You need to stop putting money in your Steam wallet

OK, I may pick it up next time it goes on sale then.

By the way, I'm not sure if I want Dishonored and Fallout New Vegas GOTY for $15. I guess "Ultimate Pack" means GOTY, right? Does it have all the DLC?

Dishonored is a steal for 15 dollars by itself.

One of the best games I've played this gen.

FUUUUCK, I can't purchase the games from work because of the stupid proxy. Hope there are still some Dishonored keys left when I come home tonight :/

Someone please DDoS GetLoadedGo's servers for the next 10 hours, so they don't run out.

Brink looks interesting, perhaps I should exchange Fallout:NV for it.

The game had some really good ideas and I wanted it to be good but it turned out to be a mess.

Then there is the fact that nobody is playing it right now and it's pretty much just a multiplayer only game. If you want something kind of similar just wait for Titanfall

Yes. you should feel bad. Game is really great.

Indeed. They are only loosely comparable but I'll say it anyway: Dishonored is so much better than Bioshock Infinite.
