Steam Summer Sales 2012 Thread 3: Sale is over, use this thread for "Look wat i bot"

guys i need advice,

has anyone ever seen devil may cry 4 go lower than 10 bucks via daily deals or what ever promotion capcom has had on steam? i saw very little capcom sales other than the flat discounts and was wondering if should wait or bite the bullet. my threshhold is 5 bucks and now it looks like dmc4 won't be going any lower this summer sale. is there a chance it will go on sale winter or next year?

5 dollars was the cheapest it has ever went (and it's still half as cheap as DMC3:SE at their lowest price :/)
 
My Summer Sale "haul"

Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Rayman Origins.
Splinter Cell Conviction
Bastion Soundtrack
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.


Ehhhh not bad.


Really wanted Rayman and American Nightmare so I am happy I got them but somehow I feel this sale was missing something.

You gotta be kidding, the story in Revelations was terrible.

I just wanted the story in Brotherhood to end and found it so boring. I loved finding out what happens to both Altiar (spelling?) and Etzio (spelling?). Far better story in Revelations.
 
All right, going to do a small giveaway as a thank you to Steam GAF for being so awesome.
So here we go!
Giveaway Contest: Create your own Indie Bundle XII
CkX1h.png

New to the steam sale this year was the concept of steams own Indie Bundles. These were bundles of 5 games priced at 9.99$/€. However personally I found them lacklustre, often including games that I already owned or contained one or two interesting games coupled with some not-so-interesting games.(except for the awesome Indie Bundle V!) Thus I was inspired to create this contest, challenging gaf to create a better indie bundle than the ones we've seen on sale so far.

How to enter: Choose 5 games on steam that total up to 10 - 15 $/€ and take a screenshot of those 5 games in your cart, with the total cost visible. Please write impressions or reasons for why you think your indie bundle is the best.
Remember to quote the image. For example:

Yeah i remember that. That was so dumb how they bumped up the price. I regret it too, since it hasn't been 5 bucks since. Though i'm not too bummed out since i have the ps3 version already.

The nimble thief, Zoya, rubbed her hands slowly down the knight's chest.

"But we can't... Not after we saw Amadeus fall to his death..."

"It's the only way I can forget" the thief whispered into Pontius' ear as she slowly nibbled on it. The knight couldn't resist her anymore. He quickly ripped off her cloak as she untied his armor. Their tongues engaging each other and wrapping like serpents as they undressed as fast as they could.

To be continued.

YOU'RE WINNER

I've been playing so much of ArmA 2 because of DayZ that I'm really interested in Operation Flashpoint but I really can't afford $11.24 (I know how sad that is). What are the chances it drops again in the near future? I'd rather not wait until Winter for another stab at it.

Indie Bundle XII contest entry:

I'll go with this:

It's five games that haven't been in any indie bundle (Humble Bundle, Indie Royale, Indie Gala, or Steam) yet, so right there it's a fantastic bundle. Plus every single game is quality, including the criminally overlooked and under-received The Adventures of Shuggy. On top of that, there's something for everyone, with one puzzle-platformers reminiscent of Braid and PB Winterbottom (Adventures of Shuggy) and another clearly inspired by Yoshi's Island (Offspring Fling), an RPG/rhythm game (Sequence), a zombie twinstick shooter (Nation Red), and an RPG/Arkanoid game (Wizorb). Oh, and GAF's very own feep is represented in the bundle. How could it possibly get any better?

And as a bonus, none of these are dailies today or have even been featured in any way during the sale at all. This collection of games truly captures the spirit of indie bundles.

It has been 75% off once:

 
Damn! I got the following message:

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

How can I fix this? I'm trying to buy the last games I'm interested and Steam doesn't want my money! =(

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes, yes, YES! OOooooooOOoo god yes!

Happy Birthday!

Its tomorrow but thanks a bunch! :)

Actually the story in Revelations is much better than Brotherhood, and the best since ACII.

What the fuck are you talking about.
The Borgias downfall in epic Rome>>>>>>>>>>>>some shitty story about instanbul's little prince.

The only good thing about Revelations' story is the Ezio and Sofia parts, the rest range from meh to bad (at least they made altair more likable than in his own shitty game)
 
My new attempt to break the code:
4th set of numbers: 01100100

v8RKp.png


Where blue is 0 and white is 1. So, we have ._ _ (for the blue). If I repeat this for the other 16 sets of numbers: _ ._ _ _. .. .._ ._ ... _. _. _. .. ..._ ._ _. .._ And that's TATNIUASNNNIVANU (?). If I use the white cells instead: TUTWMSDRAMNNSNIS.

Final status: The code is unbreakable ;_;
 
So, I'm guessing all games are valid as long as they weren't included in any bundle I through XI, right? Or can there be repeats from those?

Hidden gems that weren't on daily deal are preferred, but I have no problem with people reusing a game or two from previous bundles.

A little mix of everything. A schmup, hard as nails platformer, an easier platformer with a clever gameplay mechanic (descend/escape), a horror game, and an action RPG with great production values and soundtrack. All for under the price of Minecraft. :p

Dont you DARE buy Conviction over Bioshock 2!!!!

sorry, i just have a deep, deep, DEEP, hatred for conviction
Haha why?

I was worried about Bioshock 2 drm but saw there was no machine limit.

Edit: haha thanks everyone. Think I'll get B2 and Psychonauts to end the sale. Renegade ops would have been nice too
 
Oh God, I fired up Galactic Civilizations II last night and I spend 6 hours making 3 ships.

6 FUCKING HOURS.

I haven't even started the game yet. &#3232;_&#3232;x

The damage (reverse chronological order)

Arma II: Combined Ops
GalCiv II; Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Dear Esther + OST
The Walking Dead
Alan Wake, From Dust
Tribes: Ascend Starter Pack; Legend of Grimrock
Rayman Origins

Hmmm... might add Revalations, I enjoy playing that. OKAY $100 and I get Revalations fuck yeah
 
Also, it seems like SSFIV:AE won't be marked down again. And since I doubt LucasArts Adventures won't go less than 40% now, I just went ahead and bought it.
