About the daily Camp activities/Achievements, are you limited to completing them on that specific day to get the DLC tickets, or can you complete them at any point during the summer sale?

Budgeting $15 for this since I'm mostly after some indie stuff, which should be enough for around 60 games.

Seems pretty reasonable. :)

I think the treasure hunt was same-day only.

Isn't it just possible that the SSF4:AE sale price was a daily deal planned for another day? Why else would they have the additional 10% for owning SF4 if it was a mistake?

it's probably stupid, but I'm thinking this as well. I can't fathom an error not only mistakingly putting a game on sale but adding an additional % off for buying the older game. (also when I looked earlier to see if AE was really on sale on the website when it was, SFIV was also on sale at the price it's still on sale for now.)

Guys I have a question about the X3 games:

Is it wise to buy all 4 or can I buy the newer ones? Also why is Conflict more expensive than the rest?

The 10% off thing has been a part of the pre-order price since it first became available.

Think. Would you REALLY play 1 or 2 if you have the complete 3 pack?

Anyone have Toki Tori and know what this new summer achievement means?

Get a Tan - Stand in all sun beams

I'm at work, but I suppose the game got an update a la the Portal levels during the Portal 2 ARG?

I know everyone is recommending Lead & Gold, but is there an active community? It's only $1.50, but that $1.50 could be another game.

Yea. Not that part though. The sale blurp had an extra % off if you already owned SFIV. not just a discount.

I'd like to get a few of those Summer DLC items but I don't know if I'll have time to earn achievements until the weekend.

Sad Skittles.

Going to have to think about Retribution. I'm sure I'll love it, but I'm not sure I'll get to it before it inevitbaly goes on sale again, and $15 is a little over my impulse buy.

Also going to have to think about Borderlands. I played and beat it when it first released with friends, now I'd have to play it isngleplayer, not sure if DLC is good enough. Thank goodness these are daily deals and I have until tomorrow morning to decide!

Seems like a theme with Capcom during these sales. Game is up on sale for five minutes, people ask 'Is this worth getting for $X?', and while they wait for the answer, Capcom is like 'Oh, you wanted that? Cool, give us more money'.

Capcom doesn't know how to do these sale things. I honestly don't think I've purchased a Capcom game during a Steam sale in the last couple of years.

BTTF was great. It was considered easy by those that play adventure games a lot. I as someone who doesn't play them I bought it twice once on PC and once on PS3 due to how much I loved it. It really seems like it could have been BTTF 4. If you're a big BTTF fan without a doubt buy it. If you aren't and are a big adventure game fan then you'll probably find it easy as hell but still enjoyable.

This is a yes then.

Possibly Bit.Trip.Runner and BTTFat the ned of the day.

Huh? That is what I'm talking about. The game has always had the 10% off if you already own SF4 on your account.

Are all the prize booth items staying there, they don't change right?

11 days, 6-7 tickets each. There are 24 items, each cost 3 tickets each, so it looks like it is very possible to get everything on the board, right?

Hmmm, I haven't played Longest Journey or Dreamfall. I'm not sure what to expect.

Do they work fine with Windows 7?

For those people wondering about the "Get a Tan" Steam achievement on Toki Tori. On Forest Falls: Level 6, there is a sunbeam in the upper right corner that you can stand in. There are 10 of these you can stand in.

And I just was payed and have in hand 1000 euros.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I just payed a lot at my trip to Los Angeles, dont make me want to spend more mone :(

OK, opinions time!
How good are this games:

-BTTF
-TDU2 (I played 1 and was fun for some time, but im interested in the Ibiza setting as Im from Spain)
-Borderlands (heard the PC version was not good)
-Bit Trip Runner (I like Bit Trip Beat, but also think is very difficult)

Convince me to not buy this games, good sirs!

Back to the Future: The Game is awesome. There's one or two episodes that are fairly mediocre, but the first episode and the finale especially are really awesome.

If you're a fan of the movies, it's a no brainer. The nostalgia is crazy. If you're not a fan of the movies, I'd say go for it anyways. Can't beat that price.

Borderlands is great in co-op. Singleplayer is alright, but co-op makes it awesome. The loot system is great and there are tons of different guns to find, some rare ones with unique attributes and such. It's just a fun shoot-em-up, but don't expect a great story.

Bit.Trip Runner is my favorite in the series. Everything about it just flows perfectly and the music is better than Beat (in my opinion). It's addicting and way fun.
