Steam Summer Sales 2012 Thread: we still like you Tony

And it's only day 3.
Skyrim won't be $5 in a year. Maybe $10 if they reduce the non-sale price to $39.99 before then. My prediction is that we will see Skyrim for $20 during the winter sale. Max Payne 3 has a better chance of hitting $5 by the next summer sale.

Renegade Ops is the new flash sale, hmm.

Only a little over halfway.
It's ten times more fun with sticks in my opinion. The analogue aiming for melee attacks is a blast. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much with a mouse or just hitting a button.
I'm sure it won't be. Just sayin'. More of an example.

first person to quote me and type their steam name gets Frozen Synapse for free
Ahhhh, if I'd known!
Hopefully it gets a deeper price cut. Not sure I want to spend more than ten dollars on impulse purchases. Will watch out for it though.
So Oath then Origins?

So far I've bought.
- Darksiders
- Terraria
- Assassins Creed: Revelations
- Toy Soldiers
- Alan Wake Franchise
- Alice Madness Returns
- Bioshock Franchise Pack
- Plants vs. Zombies

So all of those (but Borderlands) are Flash Deals, aka: The best kind of deals.

we are only a little over 10k
There will be a new thread when it exceeds 20k posts.
Also, Renegade ops is a flash deal. (Got it from PS+)
Dead island $30 2 weeks ago. It's $10 now and was $19 a week before I bought it. I don't know why but I just 'had' to have it then. I played about 10 hours and got bored without other people to play with (maybe this well help sway some people?). I don't really care too much though, I had fun with the 10 hours I played.

And holy shit 10GB required space?!?!?!?
I don't think it'll be any lower as it is as a daily deal right now.
Accepted! Hey man, thanks very much!!

Pretty it wasn't 10gb when I played it last year.

What? It's already a daily deal! Get it now if you really want it, it won't go any cheaper.

I'm really interested in Renegade Ops based on good word of mouth, but is it just a well made top down car combat action game or is there something more to it?
Also, how is the DLC?

Sooooo whats the deal with the Summer Sales Badge? I click the link and it says you have to complete tasks but doesn't specify what?
DLC is pretty crappy, just some arena maps and Ryder White is short and dull.
Wouldn´t buy it for single player, but with 2-3 friends its great fun.

Weird that it would say that. I have it installed and it only takes up about 2.7 GB.
I've found that for games I think I might want but I'm not sure about (like Two Worlds 2 today) the best strategy is to wait for tomorrow's deals. Then I can see how much I'd spend on the new daily deals, and whether that leaves me enough to be comfortable spending on the "maybe" games from the day before.
I know I definitely want Tropico 4, but I'm not sure whether to get the base game or the game + DLC pack - anyone who's played it have any advice on which is the best option?

No, no, you did good. Origin at $8 is a steal. Don't even feel bad about the purchase.
Yeah, Oath first if possible. If it's not possible, don't worry about it and play as Yunica (the girl) in Origin, which would be like playing as the guy in Oath.
It's about 2.8GB

They just copied the Just Cause 2 requirements.

I just bought both Ys games solely on GAF hype...needless to say I'm excited. I keep hearing I should play Oath first, so I will start with that. Also is a 360 controller compatible with the game?

Should only be 2.7GB. That's what it shows on mine, and I have all the DLC.
Renegade Ops is definitely worth $3. The DLC's good too (a epilogue campaign and two characters), though from what I understand, one of the DLC characters is practically an easy button.

Yes, but you might want to change the default button layout to something more comfortable.

I didnt now about renegade ops so i watched the trailers.
Put the second one...
I hear Alfonso Valles (great spanish voice actor) as the main character!
Would I pay 3 euros for a game only becuase of the voice actor of the main character? mmm

The flash deals are seriously evil. Day 3 and I already spent way more than I was planning to. It's just money, right?
You should pay 3 € because the game is great!

Both support controllers, yes. You may want to run the configuration tool and change some buttons, though. Mainly the jump and magic charge button, iirc. By default it will make you do some awkward hand positioning on the controller when you get to some boss fights. You'll know when the time comes, though. And, yes, start with Oath!

So the game is also great?
I dunno, its a good singleplayer experience? What about the gameplay? Mission based open world? Levels?
