There's great sales on those games I'm interested in. Gonna get Doom, the Mafia II DLC, Snow DLC for Cities Skylines, NBA 2K16 probably.

 

[KingBroly]

It'd be nice if Valve bumped up the server capacity for these sales, but NOPE. Same as last time :\

 

[Purkake4]

Fix your servers, Valve. Every time.

 

[StereoVsn]

One would imagine Valve preparing more into their infrastructure for the beginning of sales.
One would be mistaken sale after sale.

Hoping for price mistakes.

It's very expensive/hard to scale for that first 30 min when you have 100 million people hitting the store. Even using Azure/AWS/Google clouds, it's still very tough. Everything from the front end web servers to your DBs to caching to Identity gets hammered. It will even out in 20-30 min.

 

[xRaizen]

In for Dragon's Dogma. Have had it for PS3 from PS+ but can't play it with the shit framerate.

 

[Maxwood]

Sales time is a happy time. I doubt there will be a lot of games i'll actually want to buy, but I alway's love scrolling through the deals and reading through threads like these.
There's alway's a lot of enthusiasm and DuskGolem's recommendation's where a delight to read during the last couple of sale's, as where those of many others.
I'll probably write something myself, but later.

Good times.

This made me smile.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Time to find the games with broken sales.

Fake edit: there we go.

 

[Ventara]

Ooh, the expansion for AoM, Tale of the Dragon is 50% off. Will pick that up, too.

Store is so slow.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Can't tell if people complaining about wishlists and the deals are just doing it as a fun meme, or if after almost 10 years of sales they still think everything should be updated and refreshed instantly.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Resident Evil 5 DLC not on sale? Oh come on with this.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Without dailies games aren't going to go in to impulse buy territory. I'm only going to get games I already know I'm interested in. Dailies gave games a certain exposure. Like I'd look at every game that goes in a daily and decide I it was worth an impulse buy. Without that O don't see myself going for the impulse buy on a similar level. That's probably a good thing considering how many games I buy that never get played...

 

[arts&crafts]

Any price mistakes?

 

[Ozium]

Stellaris 10 percent discount is hilarious considering I paid less for it preordering on GMG....

Paradox pls

 

[TheBowen]

Homefront Revolution only -25% despite selling barely 50k. Nah.

Really ? Its already on 45% off for PS4


Not really anything im interested in besides maybe a dead rising game.

 

[Cheddahz]

For my JRPG fix, should I go with Grandia 2 or Trails in the Sky? Only feel like getting one of them, since I have $12 in my Steam Wallet right now

 

[T.O.P]

Looks like Bethesda needs the sales

Shows 650k sold on SteamSpy, that bad?

 

[bbd23]

haha asscreed: unity is 14.99 canadian when past sales it was 11

 

[Sober]

Wait a bit before freaking out about your wish lists, they take a while to reflect sale prices

THIS IS ALL GABEN'S FAULT!

 

[hohoXD123]

Where are the misprices at

 

[Grief.exe]

The deals are being added at a staggered rate, it seems, I keep getting new stuff when I refresh my wishlist. A few of highlights include Half-Life 2 at 80% off (never played it!), Crypt of the Necrodancer 75%, Curses N Chaos 60%, Homeworld Collection 50%.

Solid wish lists fam.

Half Life 2 EP2 is still at the top of the genre.

 

[Mengy]

You gotta be fucking kidding me...

Yeah, most of my wishlist isn't on sale at all either. It may just be the store not working right at the moment. I'll check back later tonight, but man as it looks now absolutely nothing I was looking to get is on sale at all....

 

[SexyFish]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is $4.99.

Pick it up if you still for some damn reason haven't.

 

[pretty done]

Sales are really average.

Prices are the same as winter sale it seems

 

[Nipo]

Undertail for 30% off... worth it?

 

[CertifiedFP]

I don't think you can account for this amount of traffic coming into your system at the exact same second.

Also the reason that Valve doesn't publicly disclose the dates of the sales and tells partners to not distribute it.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Get off Steam
I can't buy stuff

 

[Regginator]

20% off for Dark Souls 3

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

More traffic, plus they have to update the prices on a ton of games. Why pay for more bandwidth for a brief period of time? An hour or two and Steam will be accessible again.

 

[TheLetdown]

But it's just -20%

It's worth double it's full price.

This is one of the few times I would actually say that and mean it.

 

[ehead]

Thread's moving so fast but does anyone know if we can expect Dragon's Dogma to have a bigger discount?

 

[NeonDelta]

Must resist looking, I've spent about £150 in the last year on steam games and not played any of them as I never play games on my PC

 

[Deleted member 125677]

DOOM at 40% is a great deal!

 

[Hristi]

Wow.. I completely forgot about the sale.

 

[Kaleinc]

Time to go through the queue for the first time since winter seal.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Any price mistakes?

This guys got the right idea.

 

[Nillansan]

Deadly Premonition for $2.49

Why not

Deadly Premonition is fucking rad.

 

[gspec]

Dark souls 2 13.59 66% off

 

[RandomSeed]

Sure wish I bought Pillar of Eternity on GoG. They had the expansion pass for $12, while Steam has it an amazing 25% off. :-/

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The deals that are already up seem kinda lame so far.

i_dont_know_what_i_expected.gif

oh well, i'll probably buy oxenfree and dark souls 2: sotfs anyway. hopefully the bundle deals that were posted in the monthly thread update again and get an even higher discount.

 

[RoadDogg]

My queue is broken, I want my 3 cards so I can sell them ASAP for max value!

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Wait what it's summer seal time? goddamn

 

[AuthenticM]

The servers are getting hammered. Hahahahaha.

There are only two games that I want: Cities: Skylines and 8-bit Armies.

 

[Vastag]

Better wait half an hour or so before buying anything. Prices are still wonky.

 

[Rafy]

Time to find the games with broken sales.

Fake edit: there we go.

back to 1.99 on it's page

 

[hohoXD123]

Just Cause 3 + Rise of Tomb Raider for £34.48. Pretty good, though only want Tomb Raider...

For my JRPG fix, should I go with Grandia 2 or Trails in the Sky?

Trails is always the correct answer

 

[baconcow]

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is more expensive than the recent sale on Steam. Now I regret waiting.

 

[sakyot]

Alll too slow for me yet..

 

[Garrett Hawke]

THIS IS ALL GABEN'S FAULT!

Add more servers for this one hour rush that happens twice a year pls

 

[TheLetdown]

Thread's moving so fast but does anyone know if we can expect Dragon's Dogma to have a bigger discount?

Not likely in the new structure that Steam sales are using.

Dailies are gone. Ubisoft is the only publisher who will randomly decide to drop things.

 

[Nzyme32]

Stellaris 10 percent discount is hilarious considering I paid less for it preordering on GMG....

Paradox pls

Same updating shit as usual - a few minutes ago a whole bunch of games had one sale price, now all the sale prices for those have been removed. I'd wait for it to settle down
