[Snuggles]

44k posts for a single sale. PC gaming is is freaking thriving, holy crap.

That's over twice as many posts as last year's thread had. It's always fun to see more people get on board with every sale.

 

[MrBud360]

Bought TLR for 3 dollars at GMG!!! Payed with paypal. Thanks for link!!!

 

[ekim]

What highlight follows the sale? We had E3, Summer Sale... (GC doesn't count)

 

[Yoshichan]

Ah, gotcha

 

[MRORANGE]

But sales are over right? Why hasn't that thread opened up yet :3?

Most likely this thread will be left open so people can post their damage list instead of posting it in the main Steam OT

TGS?

Edit: Or Gamescom. Whichever is first. I assume "GC" means "Gamescom".

Olympic Sale next week. Add money to your Steam wallet now.

 

[Fireblend]

Welp, I think I'm going to start an epic a-game-a-month campaign to try to actually finish some games in my backlog:

July - Alan Wake (I'm about 60% done)
August - Rayman Origins (about 60% done, game of the sale for me) & L.A. Noire (Pretty sure I'm near the end)
September - Deus Ex: Human Revolution (About 50%)
October - Alan Wake: American Nightmare
November - Splinter Cell: Conviction
December - Sonic Generations (About 25% maybe)

All throughout: TES V: Skyrim

Short burst games (I figure I can play these while I play the others, then pull something else from the backlog if I finish any):

• Waves
• PixelJunk Eden
• Splice

Still in my backlog (Small sample of games I actually care about finishing):

• Shank
• Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery (I'm about 40% done according to the game)
• Just Cause 2 (I've put around 12 games into this game and I have yet to finish it. I think I'm not even 20% done. Damn.)
• Gemini Rue
• Blocks that Matter
• Borderlands (27 hours in; I swear I'm like 2 missions away, but those sidequests!)

Winter Sale Wishlist:

• Torchlight 2
• Binary Domain
• Dustforce

 

[Fuzzy]

Ah, gotcha

Also, if you like to see your games in Grid View on Steam (the best way to see your games) then you should check out the Custom Steam icons for Grid View thread here on GAF. It used to only be a part of the beta release of the Steam client but I'm pretty sure it's now part of the full release.

GAF does have a general Steam thread, which will be reopened once the sale is over.

Great to know. Thanks!

 

[extremepabs]

It was my first steam sale and I bought about thirty titles mainly under £3 each. I think I will have enought o last me until the next sale. I managed to grab pretty much everything I wanted and will be commencing my first PC playthrough of Halflife and Halflife 2 tonight.

Please add me on steam as I haven't got many steam buddies yet. My steam id is the same as my profile id.

Is it worth getting any of the CODs or battlefields on pc? I have played them all on xbox but not sure if they are worth double dipping on.

Thanks

 

[Shadow780]

Is this it for Saints Row 3 DLC content, or is there something else coming in the later months?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Final haul:

Binding of Isaac DLC £0.49
Frozen Synapse DLC £1.39
The Walking Dead £12.59
Dear Esther + OST £2.49
ARMA II Combined Forces £14.99

ARMA was a gift to my brother for his birthday

Total: £31.95

Fairly reasonable sale for me, learned my lesson years ago not to go too mental with these sales.

 

[JaseC]

Most likely this thread will be left open so people can post their damage list instead of posting it in the main Steam OT

Somebody threw around the idea of making a post-sale thread to tally how much SteamGAF spent during the sale, although I don't think anybody elected to create it.

 

[X05]

Ok, can't resist TLR for $3!

Now I'm done!

Seriously.

Spoiler

please help me D:

 

[maesterxen]

These sales were alot of fun, total damage for me was about $30 so not too bad.

Thanks again to everyone who was generous enough to gift out games!

 

[MrBud360]

For me the only complains about this sale, was the price of the Arma 2 Pack (just 40%). And i missed Gemini Rue Sale So sad about it. And the lack of Capcom games at the sale + Alpha Protocol.....

 

[CambriaRising]

Total damage:

Spent 72.34

Not too bad.

This is beyond awesome, thank you very much!

edit: Wow, just tried it out for Diablo 3... works and looks frikkin' amazing! Gonna change most of my games now :3

 

[JaseC]

Probably not.

I figured it made sense to have a "rate your summer haul thread".

Post what you got, next poster rates, comments, and posts their own. Would give a little context and have some fun.

I take it you'll be doing the honours?

[Mœbius]

This sale was really helpful in not only allowing me to pick-up some gems but also cutting down my wishlist by making me realise which games I didn't really want when they went on sale.

My final tally:

Dear Esther - 1.74
Psychonauts - 1.49
The Longest Journey - 1.49

Galactic Civilizations II - Ultimate Edition - 3.24
Splice - 3.49

Total - £19.65

 

[1-D_FTW]

Probably not.

I read yours, cause I was like: WTF? JaseC has only spent 500 dollars from the 2004-2012 period? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Oh, 500 dollars during just the summer sale? Carry on.

 

[PhaZZe]

Alan wake Bundle
SSFIV AE + DLC
Worms Reloaded GOTY Upgrade
CoH expansions
2 DLC for Kiling Floor

Not bad.

 

[BKXB]

One last purchase for me, I think:

SR3 Collection or Walking Dead?

Help GAF.

 

[Fireblend]

Probably not.

I do, and I'm amazed at the amount of games some of you guys bought. And I feel bad that a good amount of them I already owned previous to the sale =/ for example I see everyone bought Just Cause 2 but I've had it for like a year now, if not more...

[sorijealut]

One last purchase for me, I think:

SR3 Collection or Walking Dead?

Help GAF.

Looking for multi player(oops nvm coop might not be so important) or awesome story singleplayer?

 

[Empty Space]

Does anyone actually read anyone else's tally except for their own post lol?

I do. It normally makes feel more guilty about what I've spent, but in some cases it makes feel like I exhibited some amount of self control.

 

[dk_]

It's been a pleasure with you guys in the Summer Sale threads. Too bad they didn't repeat Street Fighter IV. :-( Looking forward to next year! Or is there a Winter Sale on Steam as well?

[Retne]

One last purchase for me, I think:

SR3 Collection or Walking Dead?

Help GAF.

I think that depends entirely on what sort of game you're looking for.

SR3 is all about bombast, spectacle, and having fun in an open world.

The Walking Dead is all about getting caught up in a people story and making tough choices.

You'll probably get more time out of SR3 but you won't find much of a story there.

So are you in the mood for a drama or an action flick?

 

[JaseC]

It's been a pleasure with you guys in the Summer Sale threads. Looking forward to next year! Or is there a Winter Sale on Steam as well?

A Winter/Christmas sale is guaranteed, and there may also be lesser Halloween and Autumn sales.

Yes, and an Autumn Sale as well!

Wow! Last Remnant for 3.75!! Even cheaper with a 20% coupon. It's illegal to pass on that now.
