I just picked up Medal of Honor and decided not to install the multiplayer. For $10 it seems like a pretty good deal. My first purchase with my first Steam sale. :)

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!'s only took me a few minutes. Toki Tori's is doable as well (I just can't figure out the one for Bonus 3). I haven't the Bit Trip Beat one yet and I don't have the other games.

Reminder:

gonna have a Steam Key of Deus Ex Human Revolution: Augmented Edition for sale tomorrow at $43, That's 11 bucks cheaper than the current pre-order price, and even 2 bucks cheaper than the regular, non-augmented edition.

There's only one left so PM me if you want dibs!

Question: Is it worth picking up DoWII: Retribution and The Witcher 2 at these prices when I don't plan on playing them until October/November this year?

thanks

Retribution is great, but if you're not going to play it for that long, I'd just wait, as Relic's games go on sale a lot.

Holy shit... wake up and find that there's not only a Steam sale, but the thread is SEVEN PAGES LONG. Holy shit you dudes don't waste any time.

Aaaand great to see that Australia is getting bent over for prices, too. Retribution is still twice price of the US :/

For anyone on the fence about Witcher 2. Buy it and buy it hard. You will not be disappointed.

I want it, but that will eat up decent portion of my funds for this sale. I think I'll wait for the holiday sale for Witcher 2. I bet it will be even cheaper then. $20 and I'm in. :D

Decided not to get Bit.Trip Runner after I remembered that they're releasing that Wii/3DS compilation of all the Bit.Trip games. I also decided against Oblivion Deluxe, since I wouldn't be surprised if they put it on sale again when Skyrim hits.

Ended up getting Back to the Future, Medal of Honor, and Lead & Gold.

Playing witcher 2 right now...game is amazing and more than worth it at full price. But the cag in me tells me that you may be able to find it for the same price or cheaper, although you may have to wait for the steam holiday sale if you want it on steam.

So I have an old, crappy PC that will run Starcraft 2 on low. I was thinking of picking up The Witcher (1) since its $13, think i will run?

Holy fuck I just won $100 on a $2 scratch off, and it's the first time I ever bought a ticket from the nearby grocery store. STEAM/PS VITA FUNDS!

I want Back to the Future but I also want to get the Sam & Max games. I wonder if I should get BTTF today and hope for a Sam & Max daily or just get the Telltale complete pack.

In any case I'm glad I jumped on SF4 AE this morning.

Salsa, why don't you edit the OP with the info on some challenges? Toki Tori was kinda long for me, so people can just check the OP with info on them.

Or maybe not, Toki Tori was the only one today with a collect-them-all.

Badly at best, I'd guess. Witcher 1 is quite a bit more demanding than SC2 on low.

Back from lunch. Are the daily challenges working yet?

Most of them seem to be. Bit.Trip Beat's might not be at the moment.

Oh good.
Can I still complete Achievements for previous days and earn Tickets?

Yes. A list of previous day’s Achievements can be found here. They can be completed through the last day of the Steam Summer Camp Sale.

What's the verdict on Retribution? I'd need to get it gifted (AU price is twice the US one) and I haven't even started on DoW2 or Chaos Rising... which I bought at the last sale.

I was a PlayStation fanboy back then. Now I am a part of the master race and am never looking back. As for the Valve Pack, I'm not a fan of Valve :(. I didn't like Half Life (played the Orange Box on the PS3), Portal is not my cup of tea and I'm not a fan of multiplayer games.

Witcher 1 doesn't run that great on higher systems either. It's not a very well optimized game, but I think it will run yes if it can handle SC2.

Damn. I think it runs SC2 a bit better than low actually.

My PC (as far as I remember) is Pentium 4, 3GB RAM, with some kind of NVidia GeForce card in it.

Ok since I haven't had a pc game for a while. I'm thinking of going for the Valve pack(seems a no brainer), Longest Journey+Dreamfall(never played an traditional adventure game in my life, seems like an interesting start), recettear( Gaf seems to like it).

I'm on the fence with the Witcher 2, and MoH. Wondering about W2, since I played the first one, but didn't see it through to the end. The only reason I seem to want MoH is for the BF3 beta.

So what are the chances of more publisher packs going on sale or is this it?
Click to expand...

All the publisher packs go on sale from day one, I don't recall extra packs being added during any of the sales over the last couple of years. Individual games from the packs may go on a daily sale, so if you only want one or two games from a particular publisher, it's worth waiting.

Good choices in the first paragraph, and you should definitely go for The Witcher 2.
