XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $7.50 (Daily Deal, 75% off).

...what do you guys think? Good deal?

Get the complete edition, since EW makes EU a hell of a lot better.

 

[MushroomSamba]

Its a great game. Cant wait for the 2nd one so i would get that and the expansion and enjoy the ride.

Nice! Just noticed the bundle pack is only a couple dollars more. Surewhynot.

 

[deadman69]

fuck that gta v deal.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Wait a minute, when in the flying fuck did GTA5 originally cost almost 52 flipping quid? Don't ever remember it launching at that price.

 

[superNESjoe]

There are a bunch of games listed for negative money, and my game GunWorld is one of them. For some reason it's selling for -51 cents. Attempts to contact Valve regarding it have been made, but I'm sure you all know as Steam users that contacting Valve isn't exactly an easy/speedy process.

It's worth noting my tone isn't frustration, but humor. I think it's hilarious. I want it fixed, but still wanted to point it out for chuckles.

 

[Sinistral]

Tales from Borderlands good?

Recently played Wolf Among Us and really enjoyed it.

Going to pick up XCOM tonight.

 

[AzureRonin]

Damn.... Elder Scrolls Online doesn't even have a discount.

 

[Stevey]

There's no point in actually playing the game once you've started it.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

fuck that gta v deal.

Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in a steam sale.

 

[Obliterator]

This is the first sale ever on Steam I'm just staring at the front page with nothing to buy.

Shit guys I'm hitting that point now

 

[Soyongdori]

WTF are these GTAV cards they are selling? I've never seen them until now on steam sales page.

Valkyria chronicles for $4.99 is a steal for such a high quality game. Everyone who doesn't own needs to get it.

 

[SSPssp]

I guess last summer sale was the last good one. I still remember Red team! Why is every meta game terrible now?

Valkyria chronicles for $4.99 is a steal for such a high quality game. Everyone who doesn't own needs to get it.

Yes, this is a good deal. I'm going to go buy it.

 

[Dunkley]

So Rockstar removed the base game and is only offering it bundled with that GTA Online trash anymore?

What a bunch of douchebags.

 

[Angryharlot]

I don't agree. All they are doing is giving people a bonus who purchase during the sale. They didn't have to do anything.

That sounds like so much company man bullshit.


I look forward to how bad shit is going to get consumer-wise with you guys at the helm, one day. Happily eating shit while also championing the company's right to fuck you, royally.

 

[spineduke]

Well I found one way to buy GTA5 standalone. As long as you're okay with getting royally fucked over.

 

[Mavromatis]

look at this im still supposed to work without the fame and women

You are supposed to work, period. You can also draw something on your 3ds and post it to Steam Summer Sale thread in Miiverse.

 

[Metroidvania]

Not offering discounts applying to just the DLC for people who own the base game has always been one of Steam's biggest failings in the sale.

I still remember when Deus Ex: HR- Director's cut was on sale, and it would have been cheaper by a dollar or two to buy the whole game, rather than the 'discounted' upgrade for previous owners of the base game.

 

[Tampler]

WTF are these GTAV cards they are selling? I've never seen them until now on steam sales page.

Currency for GTA Online.

 

[Purkake4]

There's no point in actually playing the game once you've started it.

Valve has finally created the perfect game. RIP HL3

 

[mdzapeer]

4 GAMES FOR $0.99!

Bought 4

 

[DooD1234]

Someone convince me to get Xcom and Valkyria Chronicles.

 

[Lain]

There's no point in actually playing the game once you've started it.

I completely agree, and not because of the idling, but because it stops responding. Monsters health won't go down, upgrade purchases won't register etc. At least for me.

 

[Soyongdori]

Currency for GTA Online.

Are they worth it?

 

[Bytes]

I meant that as in if $7.50 is a good price for the game in general, not if it'll be any lower during the summer sale.

Sorry. In that case, there are some websites like IsThereAnyDeal.com that will let you compare current prices across storefronts, as well as see the historically lowest price on each storefront so you can determine when it's a good deal.

 

[Diablohead]

Wait a minute, when in the flying fuck did GTA5 originally cost almost 52 flipping quid? Don't ever remember it launching at that price.

It's a scam to make you pay more, sadly people will buy it thinking they made a saving.

 

[Kandrick]

There's no point in actually playing the game once you've started it.

I died while i wasn't playing, now i keep dying over and over when i join in again. Eh shit's fucked.

 

[Stumpokapow]

There's no point in actually playing the game once you've started it.

err, yes there is. you do more damage and respond faster when you're actively playing.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Elminage Gothic is 2.99

Highly recommended.

 

[rainking187]

I finally got the game to load, but I don't see any monsters to click on.

 

[super-famicom]

Finally got the Summer Game thing to start... it's just a clickfest? No thanks.

 

[RotBot]

The minigame mentions loot dropping when a boss is defeated. Is this loot for the minigame itself, or Steam inventory items?

 

[Imperfected]

Finally got the Summer Game thing to start... it's just a clickfest? No thanks.

A clickfest their servers can't even maintain reasonably. Brilliant.

 

[Avinexus]

Anyone else get an error saying there was a problem joining the game and try again later?

EDIT: Nvm.

 

[Murray97]

Awh yes. Been wanting Valkyria Chronicles for a while. I was gonna get it on PS3 but hopefully the PC port is good.

 

[Danthrax]

wow this thread sucks

FIX IT

 

[Infinite Justice]

Wait a minute, when in the flying fuck did GTA5 originally cost almost 52 flipping quid? Don't ever remember it launching at that price.

It more likely didn't.

they bumped up the price by adding those online money cards for this sale.

 

[super-famicom]

Anyone else get an error saying there was a problem joining the game and try again later?

Got it a bunch of times an hour ago. It's not even worth it.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

It's the first two hours. This always happens

 

[Stevey]

I died while i wasn't playing, now i keep dying over and over when i join in again. Eh shit's fucked.

The exact same thing is happening to me, although I think the sales will be unlocked from what everyone does, not each person specifically.

 

[Kandrick]

FFXIV still 9.99€ meh. Wonder if it will even get a discount at all during this sale.

 

[Snakepit]

Fuck, my wallet isn't ready

 

[bndadm]

Super Meat Boy at $2.99. Why yes, hello, welcome to my Library.
This year I'm going to actively follow the guidelines and not buy it unless it's a Flash/Daily deal until the end. I promise I will.

 

[Tampler]

Are they worth it?

I honestly have no clue. I didn't spend a lot of time with the online mode, and even when I did, I had a bunch of cash from the pre-order bonus, and the compensation Rockstar gave out for when it had issues at launch last gen, that I didn't really need any more.

Basically, Unless you plan on playing GTA Online a whole bunch, they are useless, and have no impact in the single player.

FFXIV still 9.99€ meh. Wonder if it will even get a discount at all during this sale.

Hard to tell, since they have an expansion coming out at the end of the month. I will say that its definitely well worth it at that price.
When in doubt, wait until it's a Flash sale or a Daily sale, otherwise buy it when the last day of the sales arrive.

R* sucks as usually.

Is it R* or Take Two

 

[idlewild_]

Got it a bunch of times an hour ago. It's not even worth it.

I got that error, then checked back 30m later and I was somehow in a game and half dead. Was weird, the upgrades and enemy health values stopped responding after a minute or two.

 

[Quadraphonic]

The clicker game is busted.

I lost all my upgrades, but now I'm at Level 6 with 600 people in my room and the monster healths are BARELY going down since everyone has no upgrades.

 

[TheOohChild]

That sounds like so much company man bullshit.

So getting fucked royally is a company not giving you a $15 discount on a game that was released A MONTH ago that is still generating steady revenue. lol, ok.

I guess GTA V should have done nothing and not give out the crappy monopoly money.
