It's quite often on sale on Amazon.com, and can be activated on Steam. I got it for a fiver back in March!

DeSelby83

thats a pretty poor last day for a sale, pity because its been pretty good and i was in the mood to buy one last game, ah well

TheChrisD

Now the question is, buy the stuff I wanted that didn't go on daily deal now, or wait until 4-5pm tomorrow in the hope it's one of the last flash sales or community choices?

Took a while, updated now

Poor enough last day, nothing at all that interests me there. Was hoping the GTA pack would come back up

I just picked it up earlier for €14.99.

The price fluctuating all day, if it goes back to €9.99 I'd be sick.

Arma Arrowhead went for a nice €8 which I was happy since I have Arma 2

Zapp Brannigan

Heres my haul;
ARMA CO
Shogun 2
Medieval 2
The Witcher 1 & 2 (from GoG)
KOTOR

Was my first proper Steam Sale with a Windows machine. Limited by my crappy graphics card but some have been bought for the new machine I'm getting soon. Disappointed I missed out on Vampires TM though.

Burning Eclipse

Trine Franchise worth a punt for €3.99 lads?

johnny_ultimate

Yeah the first one's only OK but the second is an improvement, mostly down to a ridiculously nice art design and some new physic tricks. Certainly worth a few euro, although the basic mechanics wear thin over long periods

Star Lord

Bought all 5 Prince of Persia games for €10.99 last night
It's bad that I loved them all, even the not-quite so good ones!

marko93

Penumbra Collection and Dawn of War I Collection.


Not a cent over 10 quid was spent.

Washington Irving

Tempted to buy Fable III just for the sake of buying one last game in the sale

JoeGuy00

I actually saved up any money I planned on spending on games
at the time for a whole year and didn't buy any games I wanted,

+ I sold my older console games so I could basically build an
instant collection for my new PC this summer.

(I think going digital is a good idea at this point in the console cycle.)

Steam Games From Summer Sale:

Alan Wake franchise
Assassin's Creed + II + Brotherhood
Batman franchise
Bastion
Bioshock franchise
Borderlands GOTY
Crysis franchise
Darksiders
Deus Ex: HR + DLC
Dungeon Defenders + Worth while DLC
Oblivion GOTY
Skyrim
Fallout 3 GOTY
Fallout NV Ultimate Edition
Far Cry 2
Grand Theft Auto Complete
Half Life 2 + Episodes 1, 2
Just Cause 2
Limbo
Magicka
Metro 2033
Penny Arcade 1 + 2
Payday the Heist
Portal 1 + 2
Saints Row: The Third + Worth while DLC
Super Meat Boy
Torchlight II + free Torchlight I
Trine franchise
The Witcher 1 + 2 Enhanced Edition

Origin Games - (EA activated games bought during Summer)

Alice Madness Returns
Bulletstorm
Dead Space 1 + 2
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition
Dragon Age 2
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning + DLC
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2 + Mission & Character DLC's (they are all great)
Mass Effect 3 + Ashes

Most of the money spent came from selling my older games so it's
kind of like trading in my games for a kick ass new collection.

+ I just finished all my Xpadder profiles for Mass Effect & Bioshock 2
etc. and they work perfect. Just have to decide what to play.
a bit complicated but really worth it.

I seem to have gotten two copies of GTA franchise, definitly only paid for one, does show show for Mac support or something?

degrassinoel

time to start saving those sheckles for the x-mas sale then

Yeah you get the Mac version for any Mac supported versions of the collection.

At least you can use the new Custom Grid image system to cover them up and make them easily unnoticed or marked as Mac.

Yeah, I've two entries for GTA:VC in my library. One of them is for Mac. Bit weird since it doesn't do that for any of the Steamplay indie games I have.

cherryghost

Not many for me this time round:

PixelJunk Eden
Syberia
Tank Universal
Port Royale 2
Europa Universalis III: Complete
Saints Row: The Third
Renegade Ops
Alan Wake


Only saw Pixeljunk today at under 2 euro. BARGAIN!

Clover

Bought 3 games so far : The Witcher Enhanced Edition , Alan wake American Nightmare and Plants V's Zombies GOTY . keeping an eye on the left for dead bundle and hoping it drops below -50% in the next 21 hours.

MitchKoobski

They way I see it, now that my money is gone, is that if I buy the games now I'll be able to save money during the christmas sale.

ShaneU

Don't they usually do all the most popular deals on the last day?

Nollog

Now is the time that really tests us.
It's the last day. Do we buy the things not featured in daily deals now, or wait for Christmas?

Agricola

Dead Island is the only thing Id be halfway interested in. Is it worth the tenner, or would the GOTY edition be money better spent?

Isn't there another sale around Thanksgiving?

Didn't bother buying a lot since the laptop is starting to slow up and can't play many games on it. Must get a proper rig once I'm finished college.

Playing in a lower rez in windowed mode is a system saver. I can play most games pretty damn well once I knock down the rez. Almost doubles my FPS.

Chavways

I'm in an awful predicament.Only have 12.50 left to spend and want to get the most that I can out of it.Desperately want ARMA 2 but can't afford it.
Anyone have any advice on what would be the best way to spend the rest? My Steam library is virtually empty at the moment.

Somehow I think Steam are planning to have less sales going forward.
I'm not sure they'll have a summer sale in another 5 or 6 years.
This is just my own conjecture though.

Any particular reason for thinking that? On this thread alone there's been thousands of euros spent by people that would not have spent it outside of a sale. Bearing in mind that Steam only do digital distribution the cost of some of the older games to them would be minuscule and as a result the mark up on a game sold for €5 could easily be in the 200-300% range.

Kirby

They make alot of money from the sales. They aren't going anywhere.

Ape X

Legend of Grimrock is back on a flash sale... Those of you who bought it already, how are you finding it? It's generally received positive reviews from what I can see.

Dazza

Borderlands GOTY Edition (Great game)
Hospital Tycoon (Theme hospital was a lot better imo)


And thats all I got! Im not a very big gamer but I hope to have both of those finished by the end of the summer!
And maybe LA Noire If it get voted to be reduced :P

If you want I can send you the 2.50 if it'll get you the game.
If you are inclined to send the 2.50 back later that's fair enough, it's only 2.50
If you are using PayPal anyway. I'm broke when it comes to my O2 card!

**If not then I'd suggest any combination of these for €12.50**

Bastion €3.49

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition €1.99

So.. just back from the Dark Knight Rises and feel like playing some Batman.
Which one is the best, Arkham city, or Arkham Asylum?

Because the sale is so late, and last year they had like 3 sales one after the other.
The first signs for me was when they introduced the daily deals and weekend deals all year long.

Not saying there'll be no sale.
Saying there'll be say 1 a year around January/December, and daily/weekend deals in the future.
Flooding the place with giant sales isn't as smart as valve can be.

Nevermind.Bit the bullet and got the Dawn of War collection for a tenner.Thanks for the offer anyway.

City is definitely the better of the two and you won't miss much by skipping Asylum but they are both great games so my advice would be to start with Asylum.

EDIT: How was the film?

Not the answer you want but I would get both. Asylum is cheaper and more of a brawler slash puzzles, but City has a bit more freeform play and mini-games plus is better in my opinion. If you start with Asylum then you could get City cheaper at Christmas.

Kirby

Both are excellent but Asylum is the better bet. It's the first game in the series, has a tighter narrative and will introduce you to the combat at a slower pace.

Throwing somebody into Arkham City is very very confusing and overwhelming. The amount of buttons and combinations is very daunting. Start with Asylum.

FlyingIrishMan

Thanks, I think I will start with Asylum so, if I enjoy Asylum when I finish it, I'll buy city regardless of the price. Don't mind paying full price for any game if I know I'll play it and finish it.

@Neilos, movie was good. Really can't say much without spoiling it, but well worth going to see.

I dont know why people wouldn't buy Witcher 2 on gog for the extras alone.

If you buy it on Steam you can redeem it on GOG for free. I just signed up and gave the account to my brother once I made a copy of the extras so he had a backup copy of The Witcher 2 to play.

(He already has it on the 360 btw - it's not some kind of "yay 2 for 1" type thing lol)
