the sooner people realise the summer (and winter) sales are just like any other weekend or midweek sale, just with dozens of games instead of 2, the less disapointed they will be

its not some super amazing once in a lifetime ocasion, its just the same old discounts we always get, with the discount getting shittier the newer the games are

also, at least going by the last few sales, 66% seems to be the new 75% so keep that in mind

Hype levels have reached negative numbers...

Yeah. But sometimes you have games that get discounted for the first time.
I am hoping from some things from my wishlist like Killer is Dead and Half Minute Hero 2. And the devs/pubs can discount themselves now, so hopefully that will give us some great discounts.

Though I can already see the posts:

"Was Terraria a Daily Deal already?"
"Will Civ get a Sale?"
"Finally I can buy Magicka!!"

Ooooh sale. My wallet is ready.

Meanwhile Ill finish Fallout 2, kinda funny that 2x scaling doesnt work on my 1600x900 screen (requires 920 vertical pixels). Amazing game though.

Random question that feels most appropriate here: What are some titles that have gone through the alpha/beta Early Access phase to retail release that are considered solid? Their might be a ton, I'm just ignorant and curious.

im hyped enough because Ive done this dance many times, but at the same time I think the first "only 50% this sale sucks" comment will probably break me and I will quit the internet. basically I think this will be me tomorow

hopefully not tho. Maybe im just grumpy tonight. Get off my lawn and whatnot

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Got the caching tweaked for Metacritic user scores in Enhanced Steam.

Can someone let me know if you get a 0/100 result from this point forward?

What are SteamGAF's thoughts on Strike Vector? I remember seeing some pre-release footage thinking it looked like a lot of fun, but is it worth pouncing at $5.99 or should I wait until its inevitably cheaper? Is the online community pretty active?

Strike Vector is a multiplayer only game correct? because it sure looks pretty, but MP only is a deal breaker for yours truly

I got Wing Commander 4 and it is one of the most complicated control schemes I have ever tried to use and you can't customize it. It also didn't work with my flight stick very well. If you played them back in the day and know what you're getting into, I guess it could be worth it, but do not assume they will have modern user-friendly design.

2pm it is

I keep forgetting how that translates to here with summer time and all. Holiday sales always start at 4pm, but it's summer during the holidays here, so.. yeah. whatever

can someone post the countdown time thing

im not entirely sure when the sales start on my timezone
Click to expand...

Prolly around 10:00am whereever you are, usually when a midweek/daily ends anyway. Should lead right into the Summer Sale by then.

Guess it's time to load $500 onto the Wallet and get going, not sure what I'll buy yet depends on what's on sale. Couple things for sure though.

Checked an old Build a Doujin bundle I bought nearly a year ago and found a Croixleur Sigma code sitting there (game wasn't on Steam when the bundle first hit). And holy shit, game's super fun. Glad I decided to check over my old bundles for like the fifth time, heh.

Yup.
It was more about the game prices on consoles actually, I probably should have specified. :p
I played through Murdered just yesterday and got it for about 20euros. Even thinking about a game costing 70euros is nuts.
Click to expand...
Still cheaper than here :p
Console games retail for around USD150

All of you boys and girls (at least in EST) had better get to sleep soon so Gaben doesn't catch you awake when he tunnels through your internet lines to deliver deep discounts to the good PC gamers of the world!

But the seal won't start until 1pm EST... that's a lot of sleeping hours.

Any news yet, Steam Septons? Or are we still playing the waiting game (by waiting game, I mean playing current awesome games on Steam)?

Save for the Flash Deals, the Steam store updates daily at 17:00 GMT, so no Summer Seal until that time tomorrow.

During our winter we are 4 hours apart from the US pacific coast (they move 1 hour forward and we keep the regular time), but during summer we get a 6 hour difference (because the US moves back to regular time and we move forward 1 hour)

Steam doesn't update at 10am locally though, it does it at the same time everywhere.

Eh, Flash deals are likely every 8 hours like the last couple of times, no need for sleep deprivation :)

2pm? Weird... but I guess if you don't have EDT then yes, it would be EDT+1... so 2pm.

Damn, my pre-sale card farming is going surprisingly well, 3 Foils so far: Ittle Dew, Forced and Unearthed. The first 2 are worth somewhere in the 40c range, the unearthed one as much as $5. Of course no one their right mind would pay $5 for a card!

I preordered fault milestone one on Sekai Project site yesterday, thinking I'd get a steam key right away or, well sometime later, given how Infini-kun was doing giveaways for it, but it seems I was wrong. Now I'm wondering if the key will pop up when the full translation is out or when the first part of the translation is out.
Click to expand...
I am in the same boat, but I just got an email comes with a Steam key a few hours ago, you should check yours.

Definitely not your first Summer Sale. I'm still a Summer virgin

It's already in the cart... I'm hours away from making the big decision.

I'm checking gameplay videos of all the other Wing Commander games included in that pack. Want to make sure I'll play at least half of them (which I probably will).
