Steam Summer Sales Thread: remember: you can actually play after buying

I keep telling myself that I'll never rebuy Mass Effect after spending so much on 2's DLC but I'm back at the check out page again. Has the PC DLC ever gone on sale?

Is Last Remnant good?

Story is embarassingly bad as is standard for JRPGs. Team building and strategic battles can be pretty fun, though, which I suspect is what's behind the game's popularity. Small things like the character's run animation bug the hell out of me. Probably worth $10. I definitely wouldn't want to pay more than that (even though I have. For the inferior 360 version no less.).

Hnng, improved Last Remnant or Last Remnant with achievements? The choices we face.
I love cheevos, but the PC version is SO much better than the 360 version. It's not even a question.

I think I'll go in on Mass Effect 2 for 6.80$. I said 4.99, but as I've said too. I'm a whore this sale. Cheapest it will get anyways with be 4.99.

The one I'm having trouble with though is Universal Sandbox. I think it looks really fucking neat and definitely give the demo a try.

2nd though, I'll hold out on that one either way.

ROFLMAO. The dailies today are total crap. Those are not sale prices at all. They may say they are but they aren't.
ROFLMAO. Someone says this every day. Just because no game appeals to you does not mean there are some good deals to be had.
THIS.

Anyone interested in doing a 4-pack of Worms, it isn't a huge savings but every bit counts. PM me and we can set something up. If nothing else I save a buck and find 3 new people to play it with!

I literally just activated DoWII Gold Edition on Steam two nights ago after buying it off Amazon. Weird thing is I'm in USA, but the box said PEGI 16. Either way it worked. There's a steam thread that shows they had problems with those retail keys at first, but it was fixed soon after.

Again, I can 100% guarantee it for all regions, but it worked for me two nights ago.

Thanks for this! Was worried about non Steam activation, really don't want to deal with GFWL. At the moment, Gold Pack on Amazon UK and Steam are about the same price for me so hopefully it will become a daily sale, would be happy with just -66% instead of -33%.

Everybody buy Last Remnant for $10.
Serious.

I was under the impression it was bad, and one of the only reasons people are playing on PC is the fact that there's hardly any other JRPG's to play. Isn't Last Remnant the game with some of the most annoying looking/sounding characters in a while? maybe I'm getting it mixed up with that other JRPG that came out on the 360 around the same time.

Don't know why people assume the last day is "best of sales", only time we had that was during last christmas sales.

They've done this every sale for at least the past 3 winter/summer sales. They used to do two, one at the midway point.

Fallout 3 and Last Remnant for me today.

Shit I'm running on empty almost for the last day, and this is assuming the final day is a recap...if it's not I'm totally fucked. I only have $20 left and $13 put away for bloodlines.

Also about how long is last remnant? standard 40+ hours for a jrpg?
 
Mafia is one of my all time favorite games, 2.49 to have it on Steam is a no-brainer for me. Also time to get Amnesia finally.

If I already have Empire, is it worth getting the GOTY pack just for Napolean? Is that game any better than Empire?

No, I don't think there has ever been a sale on Bioware space bucks. I have been hoping they would come out with an equivalent to the Dragon Age Ultimate Edition for Mass Effect 2, but no luck so far. I might cave someday and just finally pick up Shadow Broker.

Looking at last year thread I suppose you're right. Thought it was just last christmas sales.

I feel like you're thinking of Star Ocean 4.

Sounds like you're describing Star Ocean 4.

Ah man, I'm in the mood to spend money so I was hoping for better deals (lack of interest or already own) but I suppose I'll snag the Last Remnant since it sounds OK and I don't own anything like it on PC.

Does it have towns and stuff you can explore or is it all battles?

FNV and polished in the same sentence? lol

I liked FO3 much better. I didn't have many issues running the game.
The key word is 'more'.

None of the games from Bethesda have been polished as far as I can remember.

Hmm. ME2 and Amnesia..

I have ME1 from the last sale but have hardly played it. Do you guys think I should pick ME2 up and finish ME1 first?

ehhhhh maybe I don't need this right this second then. I'm still burnt out on these sorts of issues in JRPGs.
 
Hell of a deal on Empire and Napoleon complete pack, though I wish they would have thrown a bone to those of us that already had one of them, or give us a break on the DLC.

Oh well, nothing for me today again.

What's the consensus on Worms: Reloaded? I love Armageddon and I'm really tempted by Reloaded, but I haven't heard anything good about it.

Red Faction Armageddon and Dirt 3 are lol sales. Wasted daily slots.
If Armageddon was the sequel people wanted. Getting 33% off would have been a good deal for a game that is only around a month old.

Maybe Infinite Undiscovery?

Can I get a tally? Who here has had problems with Fallout 3 GOTY edition?
I had issues with it crashing fairly regularly, but I just made heavy use of quick save. Didn't stop me from putting 60 hours into it and beating the game + all DLC.
