I'm not even sure what a booster pack is ... does it have anything to do with having multiple of each card?

Booster packs, when used, enables you to get 3 more cards for a given game.

 

[Taco_Human]

Aw yiss...all the new vegas DLC for less than 6 bucks.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Have the older Fallout games been 50% off this whole time or is it because of the Daily Deal?

you can tell by checking the end date of the sale price

whole time

 

[Complex Shadow]

I'm exaggerating still, it's a tough choice, my gf's birthday was last week and that left my July expenses budget pretty damaged.

if your looking for a reason to by TR i can't think of one, but if you want it then just buy it.

 

[delirium]

Voted for Don't Starve. Everyone seems to love that game. I don't understand why people are voting for Torchlight 2, it goes on sale for $5 for a bunch of other places already.

 

[SparkTR]

They even have achievements too

Controller support?

I believe it's been the whole time. Lots of crazy gems hidden away for awesome prices to find.

 

[jim2point0]

Remember Me, is it worth €24?

Right now, with all the sales going on, I'd sooner get 10 indie games on sale than Remember Me. It was an ok game... not really memorable at all though. Nice art design... \

Still waiting on Steam to send me the gift copies of FNV...

 

[rohlfinator]

Awesome, I thought I was going to have to wait for a franchise sale to hit the dailies.

 

[Kinky John]

sell now, price only goes down

Prices on all cards (even foils) is going to do nothing but go down.

With that said, if/when Valve stops releasing series 1 cards...

Don't Starve was 40% off on the first day though. :|

Why do people vote for sales that have already appeared? Makes no sense.

 

[Bri]

got myself a foil!

now do i play the waiting game to sell it or do it now?

I'm selling off all the cards I get.

I don't really see the benefits of waiting?

cuz torchlight 2>don't starve.

 

[fantomena]

Yep. But really, you should play this game.

I have, but I have no motivation right now to replay it.

Didn't know that, thanks. I'll hold out for now but I don't really see it getting a Daily

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Anybody Actually bought The Sims 3?

What a fail price

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Man Kerbal space program is super tempting. I had so much fun with the demo but its only 40% off and im running out of money. Ahhhhhh I dont know what to do.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Same, I've at least earned a couple of quid from it.

 

[Sianos]

Don't Starve was already a daily, buuuut I suppose Gunpoint hopefully will be too.

Vote Gunpoint so I don't accidentally waste all my money before it goes on sale!

 

[AlexBasch]

Meh, I'm seriously thinking of taking up Amazon's offer with the coupon to get $10 Tomb Raider.

What was the code again?

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Waiting for the STALKER series to get a discount. Come on Pripyat.... come on!

 

[Divius]

Nothing for me today.

Man, I was looking forward to playing MotN tonight

Same here

 

[andregnreis]

Anyone played Eador? Looks like Might & Magic from some screenshots...?

 

[ExMachina]

Aw, Deadlight won the previous vote? Wanted more people to grab MotN. :S

Voted for Gunpoint this time, hadn't heard of it before but the premise is super cool.

 

[FINALBOSS]

We're voting for Gunpoint.

I've spent at least 300 hours playing KSP over the years. Possibly much more. Only 75 of them since game got on Steam. Just do it.

 

[M.D]

Is crafting badges for coupons worth it? do we know any details about them?

 

[SJRB]

Remember Me, is it worth €24?

Remember Me is a cool game. It has a unique setting, stunning art direction and amazing graphics. The soundtrack especially is fascinating. Story is good and voice acting as well. So as a package it's an incredibly smooth and sexy game.

However, the gameplay is solid albeit nothing spectacular. Its combo system is functional and the combo lab is an interesting take on the default buttonmashing. It borrows fleeflow combat from Arkham games, but is never as refined. Which is unfortunate but not a dealbreaker. The platforming/traversal is a no-brainer similar to the Uncharted series - there's only one way to go and usually it's 'up'. The game shows the path you need to take and even though the environments are nothing short of stunning they are also incredibly static and lack any form of interaction.

The memory remix sessions are amazing. I won't go into specifics but they definately something worth experiencing. There's also something extremely grim about having the option to alter someone's memories and as a result change a person't entire personality. It's definatly a fascinating concept.

I'd say it is worth 24 bucks for the atmosphere.

Is there a max level?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Forgot to buy System Shock 2 before it left. Hopefully it comes back.

Tempted to maybe finally get Fallout New Vegas, but money is tight and it'll be that price again. I also doubt I'd play it between now and the next sale.

 

[Infinite Justice]

You know what? No regrets, motherfuckers.

yolo, etc

 

[Chrysalis]

Gunpoint, people. Let's do it.

In other news, Hitman worth the price (and more importantly, the time) as a stealth game?

Is Eador "fixed"? Last I heard it was a buggy mess.

 

[mrgone]

I believe it's been said that it'll be $20-30 for the standalone.

Dean Hall's mentioned the Minecraft model a number of times, and thrown the $10 alpha number around back in May, so I'm very much hoping for $10-15 for Day1 masochists :3

edit: Wait, I think that $10 was just actually the increase in price from alpha to beta. Still hoping for $10-15 for the alpha

 

[Oreoleo]

Waiting for the STALKER series to get a discount. Come on Pripyat.... come on!

This is the first sale basically ever where they haven't all been 50-75% off. I'm not sure what's up with that.

 

[Iresecia]

Yeah the base game is like 4.99 on Origin (but I can understand some people hate Origin). I guess Steam can't match Origin's prices.

 

[RS4-]

ugh, I know I have the original Fallout 1 and 2 on disc somewhere in my room. Only found Fallout Brotherhood of Steel

 

[RibbedHero]

Thanks Sinatar!

 

[jshackles]

Is crafting badges for coupons worth it? do we know any details about them?

Coupons are not currently being dropped when crafting badges. That went away about a week before the sale started.

 

[More_Badass]

Fallout 2 is open world or hubs? Can you travel across it or is it an overworld like M&B?

How diverse/deep are the choices and your impact on the world? Can you join the Brotherhood or become a slaver?

Are there a lot of towns/outposts to travel to (I loved finding places like Megaton and Rivet City in F3)?

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

I know its just I think i have 25 dollars in my steam account. Your gif is very convincing though. I may just have to buy another gift card.

Yeah, it's so bad. I kind of want to pick it up at some point since I haven't touched a Sims game since the first one.

It's 5 bucks on Origin right now -- this is probably just a cheesy tactic to drive people to Origin.

 

[fantomena]

Yeah the base game is like 4.99 on Origin (but I can understand some people hate Origin). I guess Steam can't match Origin's prices.

EA knows they get more money from Steam than their own service, so they make the price high on Steam.

Spoiler

I bought Sims 3 + Pets

Is nba 2K13 worth it ? I loved nba2K11 on consoles, and I think I liked 2K12. What's missing from the pc version?

 

[Prophane33]

With that said, if/when Valve stops releasing series 1 cards...

That would be the only way to stop the downward slope of card values. Valve needs to give them some sort of value. As it is, everyone and their brother is out there trying to earn cards leading to an increase in supply (heck, I didn't even try earning cards until the sale started) , one people realized you could get money for the cards the increase in availability led to people trying to undercut one another leading to a very large downward trend in prices. The value of the Summer Sale cards may go up, but common cards are going to eventually bottom out if they haven't already.
