Steam Summer Sale 2014

[Puddsy]

If you see a good deal post it here.

I won't buy a game unless one of my friends has said that it's good, and I consider a lot of you my friends, so have at.

I bought The Witcher 2 enhanced edition for $4 US. Get on that.

Holy ****, that's a good deal for a sweet game, too bad I already have it 

[Sagii]

Well, you do probably not consider me your friend ), but far cry 3 at 75% off is a very good deal. Personally I'm waiting to see if dark souls 2 comes on the daily sales or flash sales!

[MythicalWagyu]

If you don't have Hotline Miami yet, it's a steal at $1.49 - highly recommended: http://store.steampowered.com/app/219150/

Stache- now that you have Witcher 2, head over to GoG to get a DRM free copy of it plus some other goodies: http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup

PRO TIP THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION

WAIT FOR IT TO BE A DAILY DEAL UNLESS IT'S THE LAST DAY OF THE SALE

YOU'LL HATE YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T

I did it like 3 times last year, just be patient

I paid $10 for a game I could have payed $3 for.

[baldgye]

Picked up fc3 for £3!

Flash sales are also equally as good as daily deals!
And there's even more reason to get in on them since you have less time to make your choice!

[Frenir]

I really shouldn't buy more stuff, but Far Cry 3 is calling on me 

[FrostyToast]

Picked up fc3 for £3!

Wow! that's even better pricing than what we canadians have!
FC3 is 7.50 for us. I guess now you guys finally get decent price translation!

[HPE1000]

Here is to hoping assetto corsa goes on sale, I need a new racing game.

I still don't get why the prices aren't just global.

They've got absolutely no reason (that I know of) to treat the countries differently when it's a digital product.

$4 USD =/= 3 GBP or 3 Yen

so that's why

This might not be much use to you but the free racing game 'Race Room Experience' is pretty cool, though its still in some kind of alpha state (like AC) I signed up like 3 months ago or something and they just emailed me a free code for 700 in game points, which bought me two alright GT class cars and Laguna Seca Raceway!

Because, economics.

Oh I know, I have that game downloaded and play it from time to time. I dont really want to spend money on it though, so I am stuck with the competitions they put up. I don't know if it is gone but the most recent races on suzuka were awesome. I love that race track, possibly because it was an amazing drift track back when I played forza and was a 1337 drifter.

So they hold actual races on there for people who haven't paid money??  I've not played around with it too much because that UI... my god...

There are always around 5-6 competitions available to play. You don't have to own the tracks or cars that are in them. Only problem is the competitions only run for a week or so and then new ones go up.

[noisyturtle]

Don't pay less that 60% off!

[tp4tissue]

Don't pay less that 60% off!

??

bad wording..

does that mean..  don't pay less than 60% off,  as in we should pay more than the 60% off price

OR does it mean.. don't pay  UNLESS it's 60% off or less.

I still have the witcher left from the last sale, And I only bought two games. I should probably play that.... Hoping for a cs:go flashsale.

How do I get product key of steam? FOUND IT!

[rowdy]

I still haven't played anything I bought in the last sale!

[Badwrench]

I still haven't played anything I bought in the last sale!

Same, or the year before even.  I have not played at least 80% of the games I have.

80%?  That's pretty good compared to me.  And I could probably count the number of games that I've finished with just my two hands.

I think nearly all the games I have, I have finished them with just my two hands (one on the mouse, one on the keyboard).

Except the few car racing ones - for those I used a foot too (on the pedals).

[Badwrench]

Of all the games I have on Steam (guessing around 50 or so), I have only completed Borderlands 1 and 2, and Bastion.  Most of my games I have never even loaded. 

[noisyturtle]

Tempted by Farcry 3 and Xcom, but I'm gonna hold the gate until they attack my wishlist!

[Darkwell]

I told myself I wouldn't buy anything this year... One day in and I'm ready to cave.

Has anyone played Divinity Original Sin? It's still in beta and launches at the end of this month, but it looks really good.

I've only seen a few YouTube reviews about it and people seemed pleased, but there just aren't enough reviews to really be sure.

[Pacifist]

payday 2 is $10 right now, 66% off. Do I buy or wait?

You got me to take a look, and I pulled the trigger! (Pun intended ) )

[noisyturtle]

Retro City Rampage is amazing! Friggin' better be after more than a decade of dev time

Hehe silly.

The general rule of thumb for Steam sales is to wait for a game to be a daily deal, flash sale or community choice.  Those will be the lowest prices.  Otherwise wait for the last day to buy any games that didn't end up getting spotlighted.  And yes, 75%+ off or GTFO.

This is not always accurate. There are always hidden sales that go up to 90% off, but aren't flash or daily deals. Usually games that didn't sell too well, but sometimes you find some gems. Portal II was .99 in one sale, I got Binding of Issac + the DLC for .49 each.

[Lain1911]

So I take it I should have continued to use steam instead of uninstalling it years ago?

Just install it again

[HoffmanMyster]

Everyone who for some reason doesn't already have Half Life 2 should install it and play it right now.  (hopefully this doesn't apply to anyone)

[lightsout714]

Been wanting to try out CS:GO. Hoping to score it on the cheap.

All hate aside. Is COD ghosts any good? I liked BO but didn't really like MW3 or BO2.

IMO COD died after BO1.  MW3 was okay, BO2 was fine, and I totally forgot about ghosts. Everything BO1 and before? Pretty darn good.

NO! I bought Naruto instead! But I won't even play it, going to lie down instead!

Yeah that's basically how I feel. I actually have ghosts on ps3 . forgot about that. Didn't like it at all but I hate playing FPS on consoles.

HL3 confirmed?

[quake4mhg]

Payday2 $10? buy it plus other DLCs on discounts too!!!
fc3 for £3? buy it!!! it's a fun game, I brought it last year summer sale $9.99USD.
I only brought borderlands 2 DLCs x2, spend $3 today, wanna wait more flash deals

Is such a thing even possible?

[Belfong]

I am interested in Delver and Gone Home. Both game cost a total of $9. Man, you can't even buy a cap at $9 these days! Is caps our benchmark now?

[dustinhxc]

I bought the Witcher 2! I want to play it but anytime Im not at work I spend on DSII.
$3.99 was a DAMN great deal for Witcher 2! I have farcry 3 on ps3 and its tempting to get it on steam too..

Here is to hoping assetto corsa goes on sale, I need a new racing game.

Hell Yeah I got that full price when it came out, its a great game.

I hated ghosts, love all before it.

I REALLY want to try GO! $9.99 isnt that good of a deal, ill wait another week.

I have source and love it but go has better graphics right?


Im hoping stick of truth goes on sale.

[Coreda]

Glorious sale season. Tbh I only ever pick up games I'm already looking to buy, but occasionally there'll be a game I hear recommended and I fall for it. NeoGAF is my hangout during the sales, it's an exciting time 

[MythicalWagyu]

I know it sounds silly but hear me out... EuroTruck Simulator 2 is 85% off for another couple of hours and if you've got a gamepad, or even better a real wheel + pedals, it's a hell of a relaxing game, and a pretty great deal for $3.74. I bought it a few sales ago have rather enjoyed it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/

[MythicalWagyu]

Also, last Steam sale they caught everyone by surprise and changed things up on the final day.

It is no longer the case that you definitively should wait for the last day of the sale to make purchases of games that are not daily deals, flash sales, or community choices! The last day of the sale will most likely be an encore day, where many of the best selling deals will be brought back. During the last major Steam sales, all sale-related discounts were removed except for the handful of encore sales. In short: unless you missed a DD/FS/CC (and are hopeful that it will return during the encore sale), you should buy it on the second-to-last day of the sale - not the last day of the sale.

I picked it up because I do have a wheel(although it's an F1 style wheel....) and I used to play 18WoS when I was a kid, and there's something nice and relaxing about just driving stuff from A to B.
