So, according to an email posted on reddit, the sale starts tomorrow.
It's that wonderful time of the year to add games to your library that you probably won't play in awhile but they were too cheap to pass up on.
-
Sadly they will still be too expensive.
-
I have so many games on steam I haven't even touched. Can't pass up a good deal though.

You mean like Free Money? (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44752.0)
But Seriously. This is basically how I am. I'm sure I'll convince myself one of the deals is good enough to buy.
-
I've never seen the steam summer sale so I am wondering how long does the sale usually last? And do the games go real cheap or normal sales cheap? Thanks :)

Deals normally last for a day I think.
going 75% off if you call that "real" cheap :)

it's around a week or two. they have flash sales (the really really good sales) every 6 or so hours.
the key to the steam sales is to buy towards the end of the sale.

So who's gonna gift me Dark Souls? :blank:
-
Oh my poor credit card... Every summer sale I buy a bunch of games that I end up never playing :p
-
So who's gonna gift me Dark Souls? :blank:

Yey, can't wait.

I'm just waiting for Train Simulator 2014 to go up / on sale :p
-
For some reason I got it in my head that I actually wanted to buy Euro Truck Simulator or whatever it's called for some reason.... I'm glad I didn't LOL
-
And new trading cards Whooo!
-
Seems like dragon age origins is on sale, might get that.
-
tomb raider is on sale for 12.50€
-
i........ sadly own everything worth buying :(
-
I picked up Skyrim with all the bells and whistles on the first day-- 36 dollars, but I''d been promising myself for years "Once they do an all-inclusive version and once it goes on sale..."
Tonight I obtained Borderlands 2 and FTL.
This is more than I've spent on games in years.
-
Picked up To The Moon, BioShock Infinite and Skyrim DLC so far. Still 20+ games on my wishlist, but I'll keep an eye out for better deals on some of them before I buy, since it's happened before during sales that I've bought games at 33-50% off only to find them at 75% off the next day.
-
Damnit, I've just gone and bought Tomb Raider.
Now all I need is a machine to play it on ...
-
CS GO anyone?
-
CS GO anyone?
NO.

So Thursday Dark Souls went on sale for $7.50 and I was seriously contemplating buying it. This action however would mean me spending a quarter of my weekly food budget, which I was hard pressed to do. For reference, I live off scraps during the Summer as an unpaid intern and no big grants to spend as during the school year. Anywho, I went on the Dark Souls sub on Reddit asking a few questions to try and convince myself to buy it, and some amazing Redditor stepped forward and gifted me the game through Steam. Welp, turns out this Redditor was none other than bisl of GH and we both had a laugh. Small world, full of awesome people.
-
CS GO anyone?
When I am not on here at night I am playing cs:go
-
another summer sale video :D
-
Haven't gotten anything yet. Good for me.
-
I hope to pickups the borderlands 2 season pass and the complete age of empires 3 package.
CS GO anyone?
NO.
YES
-

Later today I am totally down
Maybe we can grab some others too :p
-
Just got all the CS. Haven't played it since 1.6, seems they released quite a few.
-
I've only bought Don't Starve.
I don't really get the steam sale mentality of buy everything because it's cheap and I might play it. I only buy games I want and I know I will play. I usually stick with a single game for a long time as well.
-

Play Source, its fun, play GO, you'll rip your testicles off (its probably more fun).
-
~~~it's all preference~~~
-
go has weapon and movement mechanics closer to 1.6
source is run & gun / spray & pray.
btw is everyone part of the geekhack steam group?
I am listed as enforcer and I am in cs:go all the time.
-
While I haven't been playing it lately, I grabbed the Borderlands 2 Psycho pack.
-
For anyone who hasn't seen this, this sums up the Steam Summer Sale (or SSS) perfectly:

Its easier if you use a xbox controller, plus you feel less guilty when you smash the controller to a bunch of pieces instead of abusing your precious mechanical keyboard
-
Why can't u play smb?
Edit.. derp tapatalk refresh. I see.
-
Anyone get the Portal bundle?
FallOut New Vegas?
Skyrim D:?
After i find my Korean custom keyboard I'm dumping 10% of whatever I paid on games :o
-
Just bought Borderlands 2 hoping my system can run it...
Is Torchlight II and Battlefield 2 worth the sale?
-

Torchlight II is a great game. It's like a modern, better version of Diablo 2.

Torchlight II is a great game. It's like a modern, better version of Diablo 2.
And better than Diablo 3.

Oh man, D3 was a disappointment. The only thing I liked about it was the real money auction house. I made about $40 off of random items that I saved through farming. I'll take it.
As far as the sale goes, has anyone bought or played fall out new vegas? If so what are your thoughts?
-
I never got around finishing it but Fallout NV is great. Anything with 80 or higher metascore is a great game.

*cough* Devil May Cry *cough*
-
so far i've bought GTA pack, dirt 3, duke nukem 3
this sale.. has been good to me. haven't spent money!
-
CS GO is back on sale for $5 for the next 4 hours!!
-
bought the Valve Complete Pack...so many games! But come on. $34 is too good a deal to pass up for that many games.
-
I've been putting some serious hours into torchlight 2 every since I got it two days ago.
-
Torchlight is my number one most played game, out of the nearly 500 that I have on Steam. A total of 13 hours...
-
I've only picked up two items from the sale: Boderlands 2 and Skryim Dragonborn DLC.
-
I've picked up a bunch of things already... AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL EVER GET PLAYED...
For some reason, I keep trying to stay away from Skyrim. I know I should just buy it already. But then who knows when I'll play it.
-
Skyrim has trading cards...
-
And that's one of the ones I need. That's actually the one that caused me to message you...
-
So far i've gotten;
$5 Sniper Elite V2: Nazi Zombie
$9 Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
$7.50 Counter-Strike Complete
and so far them newfangled trading cards ive no idea what to do with ive gotten; Skyrim and football manager 2013 steam summer getaway.
and if any you guys have never played Trials evolution... thats my suggestion. On sale right now, prob best played with a controller equipped with triggers for throttle...
I'm just waiting for Train Simulator 2014 to go up / on sale :p
if you mean train sim '13 its currently 80% off!

Sell the cards. You can get about $0.10 or so for more common games, whereas less common games can get twice that or more. I got $0.20 for my Bastion cards (and subsequently a Russian guy giving me his life story).
I've gotten:
- the Valve Complete Pack (don't want to list those games) $34
- Far Cry 2: $2.50
- Poker Night at the Inventory: $2.50
Also, I want Fallout (3 or NV) and Skyrim, in that order.

Hmm... $.10? uh i could go get that out of the couch cushion... or a take a penny down at the corner store... seems pointless.
New Vegas is currently 2.50 and skyrim is 36 for legendary right now....

Best critic ever. He's always completely right in whatever he says. Yes, Silent Hill 2 is that awesome. Yes, Half-Life 2 is that awesome. Yes, Resistance 3 copied Half-Life 2.
Don't Question Yahtzee.

So I got a 4pack torchlight 2 when it was on sale. Anyone looking for a copy to split the cost lol?

Psychonauts seems to have a special place as well, which I understand because it's a brilliant game.
That said, I enjoy his writing and on-the-side let's plays with Gabriel more than the ZP videos these days.

I'm done buying games from the summer sale. My total haul:
-Borderlands 2

-Sonic & All-Stars Racing

Ran out of money before I could get that.
Spent $60 total. Worth it.
-
I'm pretty sure I spent like.... 15 bux, pretty surprised, although I should've bought the Fallout 3 GOTY edition because I wanted to play that..... oh well! I got Antichamber and CS:GO (which I suck so brutally at it's not even funny)

I'm OK at CS. I don't play a lot of Demolition.
Fallout 3 is pretty fun in the hour that I've played it. It's so far got a couple of funny parts, especially the last question on the GOATS test. Didn't bother with GOTY, since that was twice the price of the base game. So, instead of getting Fallout 3 and all DLC, I got Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
-
I got Crysis 2, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution.
I almost got FF7. But I've played it so many times, and supposedly the 2D backgrounds look like garbage, music is all MIDI, and steam version is harder to mod.
-
all I got was left 4 dead 2, can't stop playing
-
*didn't buy anything from the sale all sumer*
cause i am broke as **** lol
-
Dude I have so many hours on L4D2 it's frightening.
I don't allow myself to play that game anymore.
-
We need to put together a Left 4 Dead 2 group. Pugs are annoying.
10/13 gas cans on Dead Center. Twice.
Perfect Tank Kill on Dead Center Finale. Twice.
-
Probably bought around 10 games and spent around 60-70 bucks, a year and a half a go would of cost me 600-700.... Steam is a good therapy :)
-
Borderlands 2 is the devil. I get angry a lot at it, but I am so addicted...didn't feel this way since the first time I played League.
Wish I could play Chivalry though but my laptop is buns...should've bought more games that would be amazing to play once I get my new laptop.

Chivalry is now my therapeutic game of choice, the death sounds are just so hilarious that I can't help but not LMAO every single time I play!

It's ok, back in my gaming days we would just settle for having knife fights, but anymore it's all about.....BOOM....headshot (stupid campers) :(
-
Oh no, when there are just 2 people left I always ask
"Knife"
and usually get a "No" but then I try and ninja my way around the map and knife them anyways.
Although recently I would accidentally pick up a grenade and give away my position :(
