This is the cheapest it's been on Steam. It will be cheaper in future sales, but not during this year's summer sale.

Single player only but a lot of fun.
And finally.. what's the number 1 rule of buying things during the summer sale that im totally not gonna follow cause im not reading this right now?
You should wait until the game is either a Daily, Flash, or Community Choice deal.
:lol This is my first steam sale and I was just about to plunge on Enslaved and the Last Remnant. I shall abide by that rule, thanks OP.
This looks simple but fun, thanks!
The game was 67% off on Amazon back in April. If you're willing to roll the proverbial dice you can skip it for now in hope that Amazon will feature the game again in the near future (Steam keys are offered in addition to regular Uplay keys).
Quoted for posterity.
I disagree - I think this is phenomenal to watch.
just craft 1 badge (ogf a game) so you get 1 summer card
wait whut?! where?
Despite the dailies rule I think I might pull the trigger on Ghostbusters on Wednesday at least, as I'm off to Glastonbury and away from Steam after that. Don't know why I want it so much, just remember it being quite respectful to the source material. I do also remember the last boss being so cheap and the AI being so terrible that I couldn't finish the game though.
actually those 2 are probably safe bets since they are already 75%
its all about using common sense

Thanks, might have confused it with Dayz or some of the other zombie games.
Through traders. Games are generally significantly cheaper in Russia, although you have to be careful of regional restrictions (none of those three games are region-locked*, though).
* Divinity: Original Sin's regular edition is region-free but the CE is not.

Quick question - if a game was a daily deal which has now expired, is there a chance it'll go back down to that low price again (for example on last day of sale) or have I missed that extra few £££ off?
Go ahead on Last Remnant, it's $2.50 and worth every penny.

Oops. I've already spent £22 and I've yet to buy anything I was actually waiting for. I thought I'd gone through enough sales to be past the point of buying all the random stuff!

Junior, please.
Guys, just a heads up.
If you are lucky enough to win the top 3 games from your wishlist, keep in mind that they can only be games that are currently available for sale.
Didn't see that posted clearly in the rules, but it's being discussed in the Steam forums.

Could get the encore, could show up in a flash sale or community choice.

Don't think thats true as the list Grief posted had Wolfenstein TNO in it, and thats not currently in the sale.
yes theres multiple chances actually, can come back as a flash sale, a community vote, or in the last encore day
he means for sale on steam
that you can buy
press a buy button
etc

Pretty tempted by Grid 2. Downloading the demo now to see how well it runs...
Just found the option to output 5.1 from my PC rather than stereo. Windows really needs to consolidate its various control panelly option things.
REEDDDDDD! Got 3 games on my wishlist so that there's no ambiguity... just in case I win somehow. I'd rather 100 people got their top game, but whatever. Got Dark Souls II on there obvs.

They are both 75% - I guess you could wait for the outside chance they hit 90??
but I initally waited for 75% at the last sale for enslaved and ended up having to get it off amazon..
that being said I love both those games (played both on console and double dipped on steam).
obviously you can wait as long as you pick them up, but if you are eager to play I don't think its the same as buying a new release at 20% off when there is a chance of a drop to 50%

"For sale", not "on sale".
Oops. Still how does that work for Dead Rising 3? Or is that considered a special case with the whole being in the sale thing.
Edit: Never mind, being an idiot

Red team taking off, son!
why would it be a special case? you can buy it
games like Alien Isolation for example dont count, as you cant actually buy it yet

Take the plunge on Last Remnant, don't think it'll go any cheaper during the sale.
Anything that's purchaseable is valid. Basically, Valve just doesn't want to (or in the case of licensed games, probably can't) award games that have been yanked from the store.

Lol it's true though. Kind of reminds me of how much fun I had with that Game show game on 360, 1 vs 100 or something, except this game is costing me money. B*^(

Yeah, just saw your post above. I'm just posting before I'm actually thinking about it for more than 2 seconds :/
So no Wheelman then

Hell yeah, yo!
Continue throwing your duckets at Gaben, Red team!
Oh, I was thinking if pre-orders didn't apply, but according to this, apparently you can!
Cause I have The Witcher 3 on there, just in case :v

For sale, not on sale for a discount.
That's ok. Now you have this huge backlog and instead of buying new games and look for new deals you'll play your old games so you'll save quite some mowho are we kidding here?
Still getting the no sound bug on Risk of Rain.
On Steam Community devs said I should:
-Uninstall and reinstall Visual C++, included in the 'redist' folder or can be downloaded again at (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679)
-Restart your computer
-If running Windows 8, run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7 (right click -> Properties > Compatibility)
Now.
I did all three points with no success.
But I just don't know if I did the first right. Like, I uninstalled the two ROR redists I found in its folder, because I'm not going to uninstall every redist for every game I have.
But what if they actually meant I had to uninstall every single one of them? :O
Anyway, anyone got this bug and eventually solved it?

What should I be voting for, arcade fighter or casual sim?
I don't think you need a defense. I converted from a primary console player to a primary PC player and even though I spend a bunch during these sales it still doesn't come close to the amount I spent during the prime years of the last generation.
(In fact its thousands less)
Yeah, I'm at 125 I think. And I only expected to put aside 50 euroes.That's ok. Now you have this huge backlog and instead of buying new games and look for new deals you'll play your old games so you'll save quite some mowho are we kidding here?
I'm also above 400 games in my backlog now. But I'm really looking forward to playing Devil May Cry 4 and maybe The Last Remnant which I got.
But those faceless girls in Assassins Creed 1 are creeping me out.
You guys should rig up some sort of automated response so that every time someone asks "Will X game get cheaper" it responds with the above.
So no Wheelman then
Haha, sadly, no.
But I'm not sure if Wheelman was actually a victim of licence expiration -- I think it's quite likely that WB could bring the game back without any sort of legal fuss.Edit: Fixed link.
I see, thank ! Only now started paying attention to those percentages.
Yes, but only if there's a pricing error. Featured deal discounts are supposed to be identical regardless of the deal type.

The card buying thing is different for the Sale cards than others? Never seen that screen before.
Thanks! Will be grabbing it then.
Sorry, been using Steam for about 5 years but I always forget these things.
