I'm sure most of you already know but for the people that dont Steam is having their annual summer sale from june 11th to 21st. Daily deals(Change every 24 hours) and Flash sales(change every 12 hours). If you missed something on daily deal all daily deals will be for sale on the 21st again for a encore sale. Personally have 16 games in my wishlist that are 50ish% off now but hoping for better before end of sale.

I don't need to pay attention to this until the end, because encore sale has all the best deals from the entire sale all at once, right?

4 is pretty bad. I dislike the heroes HD port because it doesnt include the expansions, and its not really HD. there is a mod out for heroes 3 that makes it actually HD. also the complete version has a huge modding community ( people added new factions like pirates, alternate versions of existing factions and so on)

The reviews for Sakura Angels deliver:

"Picked Sakura Angels up on sale....

Spent more money on tissues than the game itself...

10/10 would tissues again."

Now I have a Win 8 laptop, a LOT of options that were denied due to previously being a fully paid up member of the Jobsian cult (360 aside).

On my 360:
Jade Empire - currently playing; SP:SoT 2/3rds through; ME2 8 hours in; RDR barely played. As for iOS, so many RPGs half-2/3rds through inc FFT:WoTL.

P99 means that no other games get a look in - except Japanese VNs. Even then, very few official English translations so waiting until Q4 for Clannad and Steins;Gate.

Don't even mention Planescape Torment! It's on my bucket list.

Not enough lifetimes to play all the ones I would like. P99 is a damn demanding mistress.

As someone whose only PC video game was EQ for basically 15 years(12 on live, 4 here(1 overlap)) i missed out on alot of random indie games over the years. I haven't actually logged into P99 for 2 months and havent really played fulltime in almost a year. My steam library is sitting at 20 games atm and at this rate i'm never going to end up coming back as i have more games to keep me occupied then i could imagine. I have like 15 games on my wishlist that i'm going to pickup over the sale too. Cant go wrong on games 75%+ off. 2 random ass games that i found to try are Rogue's Legacy(2.99) and Sir, You are being hunted (2.09). They look like some cheap fun.

Yeah okay, keep being mentally exploited you proletariats. Nice to know keeping games overpriced so you buy them during a sale is working as intended.

Right, 'cause supporting the developers of the game you play is such a terrible sin :rolleyes:

"Breakfast" was invented by cereal companies to make lots of money etc. You heard it here (and in the movie 'Kalifornia')... apply tinfoil.

Overpriced is relative. Some games are on sale for 2-5 dollars that I've sunk way too much time into.

Steam sales are the only time I buy games. Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Fallout 2 New Vegas, Skyrim.
All bought on Steam sales over the past few years for under 10 bucks.

I'd call 75-85% off a AAA title a "sale" yes. As for new game pricing well, do you have any idea how much modern games cost to produce? Hint - now more than many Hollywood AAA films cost.

So wait...we should buy them at full price?

Doesn't waiting for a sale kinda communicate that you aren't willing to pay for overpriced games?

Confused plz advise.

Lol, my EQ addiction has transfered to DayZ, and my steam library is over 100 games. I've played maybe 20, beaten maybe 5, bahah.

Just make sure that you check out steamspy before you make any purchases. Bethesda is already trying to fuck people over by jacking the original prices of the games up before 'discounting' them. Also there was some shady shit with the GTA V bundle.

For me personally there are no expensive games i want. All the ones on my wishlist are sub 10 dollar games thats i'm getting for 2-5 dollars a pop. Well i wouldnt mind picking up a semi recent CoD cause i miss my FPSers and not a huge fan of CSGO. But yeah there have been a few reports of some games retail being jacked up to make it look like more of a deal then it really is.

I have been collecting everying D&D related during these sales. I have all the Baldur's Gate games, all the Icewind Dale games (all versions too), and have a few more to go. I paid $4.99 for each of them so far. I started going through the enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate, but got sidetracked with Space Hulk and now P99. Maybe when I'm retired I can finish them all again.

Games i've picked up so far:

Papers, Please
Sir, You are being Hunted
Rogue Legacy
Mount Your Friends
Bully:Scholarship Edition
How to Survive+DLC
Plants vs Zombies GoTY
Gauntlet
Cook, Serve, Delicious
I am Bread
Brothers
A 4 pack of ok looking games(Beep, Camera Obscura, Out There Somewhere, Polarity)

Got all of them for a total of 28 dollars. None less then 60% off. Most of them have seen people stream and thought were fun to give a try to and some just going by what i see in reviews and comments on other forums. Few for the kid too. But enough games to last me a lifetime and still have like 6 days of sales to go(and 13 games still in wishlist).

I did succumb and purchased one title: If My Heart Had Wings. I had to restrain the urge to also pick-up Sakura Angels.

Bought Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition, which will no doubt be put on the backburner halfway through. Aiming to finish this and get back to completing my backlog.

If My Heart Had Wings has excellent production values but .. hold on a goddamn minute, is censored? Waifu bewbs cut from this release!?

Motherf**ker! Now I have to fiddle around with the Restoration and Sweet Love patches just for waifu bewbs. Waifu bewbs I must have!

I've bought nothing this year, not a damn thing.

Everything is either good but not enough discount or really cheap because we all know it's terrible and maybe 1-2 hours of gaming at most.

Darkest Dungeon is probably the one thing I really want but its 10% off.... lol

Seen plenty of sub $2 on sale games with tons of positive reviews from people with 100+ hours in on them. Well worth it to give a shot.

Here is a site to check out cheap games and see the ratings on them: https://steamdb.info/sales/?displayOnly=all&category=0&cc=us&merged=true
