Not a daily deal or anything, but we're giving a 50% discount on out game It came from space, and ate our brains. It just got updated with a couple of nice features as well. Hope you like it!

Wishlisted! That looks fun I really enjoy twin stick shooters and hit up a couple youtube videos.

By the way, just to be sure (my first summer sale), everything that's discounted at this moment (besides the Daily and Flash sales) will at the very least keep its current pricing until the very last day (22nd June), and if we're lucky, it'll feature in a Daily or Flash and be even cheaper?

For example, BioShock 2 is €6,79 at this moment and it will won't get any higher than that until the end of the sale, and maybe even cheaper if it's featured in a Daily/Flash sale?

Are the community milestones borked for anyone else? Steam says 0/9 unlocked. I saw some of them unlocked before but I've joined a new game since then. Aren't they supposed to be global?

Yes.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is 50% for $24.99, wow. Seems like a pretty deep cut for a title that's normally $50.





No. Notice that they've bundled an extra game (GTA4 or Max Payne 3) and some of their multiplayer currency (Tiger Shark Credit Cards or whatever) to jack up the price before "discounting" it back down.

No they raised the price just to make it look discounted.

Embarrassing. So I might as well get it from GMG with a 20% off code if I wanted it then?

Well, one nice thing about being at work right now, by the time I get home and start in on this, the servers should be stabilized.

Well, legal circumstances may require that something be pulled (see: Deadpool disappearing partway through the 2013 Winter Sale due to Acti voluntarily giving up the licence), but otherwise yes.

I'm tempted to buy Tales in the Sky when it goes on (further) sale. Other than that... I guess I'll have to go on a day-by-day basis, because there's nothing else that I can think of.
 
Bought Valkyria Chronicles and Metro Redux bundle. Not sure I'll ever play Valkyria Chronicles but meh. Not really into FPS's but I enjoyed Metro 2033 (although I never finished it).

Don't know if mentioned, but summer sale cards are only valid until 6/22/2015, 7:00:00 PM.

Which means you gotta be careful when crafting one whit recently bought normal cards because of the 7 day market restriction.

Has it been confirmed that the restriction applies to sale cards?

If you only want the game and dont mind a Social Club code yeah.
Pretty shitty of them.

Sure, just remember that GMG is not selling a Steamkey version though.

Oh thats unreal. I mean, Steam isn't really necessary right? Though is it harder to play with friends?

This was the one game I kinda wanted to get. Now? Im not even sure. Has Rockstar even commented on this yet?
 
That is odd in the monster game I kept upgrades when respwaning this time. I want my 5000 gold back for last life Value :(

But it launched months ago, while the refund grace period is only 2 weeks.
If you read the refund FAQ they will consider things outside of that period on a case by case basis.

I suppose I'll see if I can get a refund on Valkyria Chronicles to get it on sale. I got it at launch (which is rare for me) and haven't touched it yet. :|
Since that kind of refund request might take a lot longer (also considering increased voluem due to the sale) you might miss the sale window so your best bet would be buying a gift copy of the game for now, leaving it in your inventory and then:
If refund is successful. Redeem it
If refund is unsuccessful. Request refund on gift copy.

On this monster game, I just click shit until it dies. However, eventually the clicking stops depleting their health bars and it is as if every click or ability purchase does nothing. I'm confused...

The monster game is so bugged. Randomly not working anymore, having enough gold for upgrades / abilities but they're still greyed out.

Even with steam it require the Social Club account and program, its just downloaded, installed and patched via steam. Everything else is the same.
Friends needs to be added via Social Club as well to invite them, as there are no steam support of any sorts.

Don't understand what you mean tbh.

I'm asking if someone has crafted a badge using restricted cards to see if the usual market/trading cooldown applies to the resulting sale card. If the restriction is in place, then everybody who crafts a badge after a few days will have virtually useless sale cards, so I wouldn't be surprised if Valve's made them exempt.

Metro redux bundle on my i5 2500k/570

Should I go for it. Will it be worth it for me and my specs?

Can't speak for Last Light Redux, but I ran 2033 Redux on an OC E8400 and an OC GTX 280 and easily averaged 30+ fps @ 1080p for the first half of the game at least (just didn't finish the play through of the rest).
 
I feel like a complete jerk of a cheap-ass fuck because I would have bought Darkest Dungeon at 12€ but not at 15€... 3€ difference, the price of starbucks coffee.
...thinking about it, coffee is pretty great.

That monster mini game was designed in hell. It's abusive in design, corrupt in intention, and void of any redeeming feature. It's as if they decided they were no longer content in draining our wallets during sales, but also needed to suck our souls out of us through our fingertips.

I know I've mentioned this before, but how is this for creative math:

The Enemy Within DLC is € 24,99 on the store page, but as part of the sale it's now € 29,99. What a treat!

It's probably best to wait until they actually stabilize server overload before judging it though. Right now it simply lags so much that you can't do anything anyway.
