Steam sale thread: Summer 2017 Edition

Sharky.
You can, but it's still infinitely better with mouse+keyboard...

Thank you!!

gaming wise I know the keyboard and mouse is better, but I just love the feel of a controller better. I'm kicking ass in skyrim (no less than a keyboard player..lol).

thanks again :cheers:

Myst: Masterpiece Edition (which, surprise surprise, doesn't work even though I researched to see if it would work on Windows 7 with or without some work)

Gutted about this, I know it's hard to get original copies of the Myst games working but I thought the whole point of the Steam versions is that they are compatible with newer versions of Windows. Does that game use the static pics or the Realmyst engine though? I have Myst (and a mouse) for my PS1, but wanted Realmyst, effectively.
 
I've heard RealMyst works, but then I also heard that Myst worked too... Myst: Masterpiece Edition is the original. Just be careful and if RealMyst is on gog.com (it is) I recommend you go there instead.

I've got some new purchases!
STCC The Game (add-on for Race 07)
STCC The Game 2 (likewise)
The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb (just because it's cheap, I haven't even really started TBoI yet)
Arkham City: Harley Quinn's Revenge

I also bought a gift copy of Payday: The Heist for a friend, might do the same with the Arkham City DLC.

I'm fairly new to pc gaming and I must say these sale prices are great.

Just bought LA Noire complete edition £4.99 and Batman Arkham city £6.79

Nice :)
 
I've already bought Half Life 2 and Half Life 2 Deathmatch for a combined total of £2.48 :D. Also bought myself Left 4 Dead 2 and Terraria, and bought gift copies of them both for a friend :) Hoping for further price drop for CS:Source at the moment.

Will do, to be honest though it would have to be better than a 50% sale because I'm sure I've seen this up for next to nothing before now. When it next hits 75% off I'll think about it.

Well that time is now apparently. It's 75% off for the next 5 hours and 45 minutes. That's the price I bought it at too a few weeks ago. :)

Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I have to work out how much I've spent because I get that sneaking suspicion it's way more than I think it is... Yep, £30.83, I thought I was on roughly £20-25. These small prices add up quickly. I have to check my bank account and budget carefully, you never know when something you actually really want but never actually realised you wanted it until it's discounted at 75% off might pop up.

Edit: I downloaded and tried the demo, it's not really my kind of thing to be honest. I'll pass this time but I'll keep it in mind I think, I just thought it was a bit dull but I'm sure with three other players and a lot of action it wouldn't be.

Oh and I'm pretty sure we'll get Amnesia in either a flash sale or maybe even the daily deal, that seems to be how it works this year. I'm sure QUBE was in a community choice sale before.


Edit again: Hilariously, I just got gifted a copy of Magicka, so that's that issue solved!

New sales are up:
Saints Row The Third
Hitman Blood Money
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Cities XL 2012
The Darkness II
Trine 2
Indie Bundle IV (A Valley Without Wind, Atom Zombie Smasher, Blocks That Matter, Sanctum and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP)
The Walking Dead
Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword

All 75% off except for The Walking Dead which is 40%.

If you don't have it already I strongly recommend Hitman Blood Money and today's Indie Bundle is a great one, Sanctum and Atom Zombie Smasher are awesome. Killing Floor is also currently in the flash sale which I recommend, it looks dated (because it is) and is only really good in co-op but I personally have over 100 hours on it, it's my most-played Steam game at this point I think.

Just bought my first game of the sale, Magika. I've heard good things so I thought I'd give it a try at less than $3.

What is everybody's steam IDs?

Crazy Canuck is mine. I just found the GTP group but I don't recognize many names in there.

I'm having a hard time buying games because I've got got soooo much to play already. I'm addicted to Starcraft right now, I just got into the DOTA 2 beta, Battlefield on PS3, and Skyrim I've only got 30 hours into and not because I don't like it but too much else to play.

Looks like you, Coxis and I will have to get on Magicka together sometime? Also on the subject of having too much to play; so do I, I think I've actually started collecting intangible games... That's bad. But it's really nice to have pretty much every game you've ever thought about playing available even if you do just go and play BF3 instead, especially when you consider how many PC games you can buy in a sale like this compared to how many new PS3 games you can buy pretty much ever. I really definitely should stop buying games though.
 
Hah, funny how things work out, eh neema? You'll like it. At first I thought the same but then once I got the hang of it and sort of learned all the cool combinations I can make I was hooked.
 
I grabbed ArmA II CO for $23 (20% off). Once I get home I'll download DayZ and try to survive for a while. :D
 
I made a list of all the games I want to buy. Some games, I will make all effort to buy.

ARMA 2- I will make all effort to buy this
Rockstar Collection
Dirt 2
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Saints Row 3
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction

I do have one question, what do you think of the HD Radeon 6850? I need a replacement budget card. Will this do for gaming on at least high settings for most games?
 
When I get home I'll join up. I need to learn the controls first, I tried playing the ArmA II demo and struggled quite a bit with them. But I'll definitely join up in due course.

Why? You should always hold off purchasing any non-daily deal/flash deals in Steam sales until the final day, because quite often the more popular titles in the Store are the ones that get the 66/75/80 discounts and considering A2CO is the most popular item on the store as-is, the chances of it being a DD before the end of the sale is quite high...

But hey, your money :P
 
I was getting sick of waiting for it (I wanna play DayZ :lol:). And considering I probably won't buy anything else during the sale I'm not too concerned.
I think the game was $45 a few weeks ago so I'm glad I waited for at least that.

Arma II is worth so much more than what they're asking now, not only is Day Z awesome but the vanilla game is too. If you only bought it for the mod then fair enough but you have to try Arma II online at least once when you're familiar with the controls.
 
Actually I was gifted with CO today (Thanks Wiegert, your're really really awesome :cheers: ) via steam, but unlike many people I was looking forward to play Combined Ops instead of DayZ, because the game itself is fantastic(aside from some details like bugs and jerky controls is a pretty solid experience, specially online and the user generated content like ACE and I44 mods).

I guess I'll download DayZ anyway but I'm more focused on trying the game itself which has a tons of things to offer (and hopefully more populated servers thanks to DayZ popularity).

Another member on here keeps telling me that, maybe he wasn't lying. :lol:

I wonder who that mysterious person might be. :P
 
Then my download of Operation Arrowhead messed up somewhere. Currently re-downloading it from Steam. This is going to take a while.

In other steam news they currently have FO:NV for $12.49. I think I paid $25 when it was last on sale and I still haven't played it on the PC. I did play through it on the PS3 though.

Edit: I did a quick search only on what to do to get the game running and I found out it's a common problem with a really easy solution... Guess I should have done that first. 💡:grumpy:
