Steamreviews say : "Game is dead" , "8 month till last update" ... so i would wait or don't buy it?

No. Wait for Next Car Game (er-"Wreckfest") to get out of early access. At the very least, $15 will be there next sale/Winter sale.

Oh wow, I got a foil monster card drop.

It's utterly ridiculous how unlucky I am with that. Despite all the money I've spent, I've never received a foil sale card through badge crafting/store purchases. 2013 Summer Sale? Nope. 2013 Winter Sale? Nope. 2014 Summer Sale? Nope. 2014 Winter Sale? Nope. Thus far this sale? Nope.

Urgh, just as i expected. The Summer Sale "minigame" is even worse explained than past events. "Click the monsters" is all i got as an instruction, but there is a whole interface of stuff and player counts and lanes (??) that doesn't tell me anything.

I really don't like their events anymore.

so is black mesa finished? By that i mean does it cover all of the original Half-Life's campaign?

I never played the original ...

No. Wait another sale. Additionally: Just buy Half-Life Complete right now for $5 less and get HL1/HL1:Source/HL2/HL2:Ep 1/HL2:Ep 2/TF1(Classic) and play HL1 that way.
 
Now this is a bit weird. I'm looking at the Xcom store page and it says :

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Complete Pack (which includes all the DLC and expansion ): 10,99$

But then I look at Enemy Within DLC : 16,49$.

I'm guessing this is bugged, because it makes no sense.
Just make sure that the "Complete Pack" has Enemy Within. If it's just Enemy Unknown plus the DLC (e.g. Slingshot), you don't want that. You want Enemy Within.

Man, their servers must really be getting hammered.

It took four tries to even login into the website at work and now it won't send the 2step verification email. I just wanted to check out my wishlist and see how it was stacking up.
 
How big is the chance the AC Rouge will drop below 35 EUR? Will it at least stay on this price point until the 22nd of June?

Resident Evil 4 HD is €10, it's not gonna get any cheaper really is it?

For Exor, it should say on the store page under buy how long that price will be good for

So the whole wait for flash or dailies rule is well known to me, but what are the odds of Lisa dropping any lower during the sale? It's 50% off right now. I've been meaning to check it out ever since the Giant Bomb quicklook.
The game doesn't seem prolific enough to get rolled into a flash or daily sale.

Yeah, this deal is super tempting to me

As someone who's never played Xcom is it worth it?

I have a huge backlog, but this just seems too good to pass up

Hm. I think I got shafted on trading cards. I have 2, and on my badge page it says I have 1 drop remaining. Makes sense, given:
Play the Monster Summer Game
If you’re Steam Level 5 and above, you’ll get a Summer Sale trading card at random intervals while playing, up to three per 24-hour period. (If you reach Steam Level 5 before the end of the sale, you’ll be granted the cards you earned by playing the Monster Summer Game).
Except the two I have, one I got by crafting a badge.

Could just be server wonkiness, but crappy if it isn't.

Everyone who needs to buy something right away should just go buy any of the Pixeljunk games, or all of them.

Pixeljunk Eden - €1.79

Pixeljunk Monsters - €1.79

Pixeljunk Shooter - €1.79

They're great games, small and short so that they won't mess up your backlog, and they won't go any cheaper then this.
Pixeljunk Monsters is my favorite by far of those, in case someone only wants to spend 1.80€ :p

It's really a great TD game. Also very fun in local coop.

Maybe it's tied to how many games you've actually played. :p
 
Ok, my first moneyz went on:

- Tomb Raider: Legend
- Call of Juarez
- Age of Empire III: Complete Collection
- Anno 1404 Gold
- Mass Effect
- Left 4 Dead Bundle
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

All together 45 EUR. Not bad.

Gonna hold out on AC Rouge and Dark Souls 2. Hope they're gonna get a bit cheaper. At least they should stay on the current price level if I understand that correctly.

Now I only have to hope they all run on Windows 8.1 lol
 
So many people don't understand, Dailies are your best friend.

If you think a deal isn't good enough, wait. It will most likely end up on the Daily Deal section later in the sale and for a better princ. Unless you see a deal and you NEED it now, try to exercise patience.

Your wallet
and your significant other
will appreciate it.

I'm conflicted on Valkyria Chronicles. On one hand having a copy on PC with superior graphics on an already pretty game would be nice to have in the library. On the other hand, I beat the game 6 years ago and have no desire to replay it. Not a knock on the game as it's truly fantastic, but there are very few games I go back and replay.
