It's no secret the Steam Summer Sale will be arriving soon, and I've been reading threads on other forums about it. I've added a bit of money to my Steam wallet, but there really isn't anything I can think of that I'm really waiting for a big sale to hit.
I'm probably forgetting about a few games and I'll remember them if I see them, but I still have a backlog from past sales, so I'm just going to wait and see what get put on sale.
Is there anything you are wanting to grab in the sale?
I picked up Assassin's Creed IV for $20. Been wanting it for PC, and that wasn't too bad.
Right now they have Banished and Papers, Please in the flash sales. Both are great games.
While it comes across as just the DLC content for sale here it is actually the game plus the DLC for half the price of what steam has them for.

I would pick it up for that price, but Amazon doesn't accept PayPal, isn't available in my country, and credit cards aren't the norm here. So i'm out of luck, unless you want to set up some sort of trade.
Go vote now!: Warlock II, Dominions 4, and LE:FH are in one block. Well and Civ5, but who cares about that.
This voting system is depressing. The rpg bundle lost, Age of Wonders III for $20 lost, and now this 4x bundle will probably lose as well.
Feeling nostaligic these days. I loved playing LucasArts games such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle etc. Something about the puzzles and the humor makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
the first 3 or 4 practically defined a generation. truly brilliant games.
Don't worry i'm sure age of wonders will be on a flash sale or daily at some point.
Yeah, like RIGHT FUCKIN NOW!
well... didn't buy anything
oddly dlc for mmo not on sale for a change
Isn't an expansion to Age of Wonders III coming soon?
They've been hinting at some kind of dlc/expansion, yeah. Kind of soon after release, if you ask me.
List of stuff bought from steam sale:
- Dungeon of the Endless - pixel to founder upgrade
- Space hulk + dlc
- Mount & Blade Complete
- Forced
- X-Com: Enemy Within
- FTL (couldn't find my old purchase, was easier to buy new hah)
- Skyrim DLC
- State of Decay
I wish Asscreed 4: Black Flag would have gone lower but it was like 25€, so about 35 in American money. Didn't feel like a proper sale to me. Spoiled I am!
N/A
I ended up getting:
Banished (haven't spent much time with it yet)
South Park: The Stick of Truth (so far, awesome game!)
couple of CivV map packs
and Baldurs Gate 2:Enhanced Edition (gonna wait til i have a decent amount of free time to dig back into this again)
I was on Pink team
The final sale right now Asscreed 4: Black Flag is going for $20 (50% off) You must have missed the flash sale before.
It's 50% off €50 now, so €25 which is ~$35. Sounds like a region thing.
Only thing I bought is the Geneforge series.
I had a £20/~$40 steam wallet balance from a birthday gift and used it all. Got about 4-5 games if I remember correctly. I started with Mortal Kombat Komplete, which is actually really fun. I expected it to be the arcade style, but the story mode is actually really really good.
I managed to not purchase a single thing during the Steam summer sale. It was a combination of fairly stern self-control, plus there not being a whole lot that really attracted my attention. (It helps I play mostly strategy games, which limits the opportunities for temptation. )
There were a few games from my wish list that went on sale but I resisted the temptation to purchase as well. I still have a back log of games not touched from their Christmas sale.
I thought about getting AOW III but have since read many reviews which changed my mind about purchasing the game (not the game for me I think).
Like you Martok, I mostly play strategy games (single player only) and that curtails my buying habits greatly.
Besides I'm heavily into Civ V (BNW) now and really getting a lot of enjoyment from that game (and expansion), more than enough to keep me busy until the release of GalCiv III.
I got Blackguards. Have even played it for 30 minutes. Then I saw a Lets play with Dominions 4 and I fell back to that grand timesink
that ones near the top of my wishlist atm. id be curious to hear how it plays out for ya.
Still waiting for a good deal on Rome Total War II...
It was at least 66% off during the sale at one point.
Dammit, I missed that! There was one day during the sale when I tried to login to Steam and couldn't get it to connect.
