Summer sale should be starting Thursday the 11th at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific.

My Steam wallet is ready after selling some TF2 and Dota 2 items on the marketplace.

After my recent gog.com splurge, not sure what's left. I might grab Dishonored, maybe some of Crusader Kings 2 DLC I don't have and, very likely, some other games.

I am weak when it comes to these things. So very, very weak...

This year I'm going in with a plan. I'll just wishlist everything I want. That'll make sure I get a notification every time something goes on sale. I'll be able to avoid splurging (I just have to keep telling myself that).

Radii · 07-09-2013, 06:29 PM

I'll probably buy Arkham City if it goes on sale, I never did buy it. I can't think of anything else I want at all, can't wait to see how many games I splurge on because the sale is so good this time around! Hopefully not too many, I do have enough completely unplayed games in my library after all.

Got it on GreenManGaming for a bit over $20 on preorder.

cartman · 07-11-2013, 01:10 PM

Nothing jumps out at me on the initial batch of stuff on sale.

mckerney · 07-11-2013, 01:12 PM

Hotline Miami is a steal at $2.49.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a pretty good FPS that did the Wild West setting really well and has a campaign that's about 6 or 7 hours long plus has an arcade mode.

I really like Don't Starve and have heard good things about Antichamber though haven't gotten to it yet. TotalBiscuit has a WTF is video that should give you a good idea if you'd like it or not.

jeff061 · 07-11-2013, 07:32 PM

Marmel · 07-11-2013, 08:45 PM

I've been playing FF7 for a few days now and damn it if I am not sucked in like I was 15 years ago. This game has aged really well and except for a few awkward keyboard configurations, it has been ported to the PC really well. (Attack left is insert and attack right is C??) The victory music never gets old. Classic game!

jeff061 · 07-11-2013, 08:58 PM

Picked up bioshock infinite, tomb raider and some rage dlc.

I played the shit out of the pc version back when it came out, beating it multiple times, getting all the ultra weapons and summon spells, killing it at chocobo racing.

I really want to buy it again, but I played it so much I wonder how much nostalgia alone would carry me.

You try not to starve.

It has the same resource gathering and crafting mechanics of a MineCraft or Terraria, but instead of being sandbox for building it has permadeath and is focused on survival. You need to make sure you don't get killed by monsters at night, starve, freeze to death or go insane.

Which makes my brain hurt, because the narrative was such a huge part of Portal...but then again the gameplay was pretty phenomenal. Having watched him play a little bit of it, it was intriguing, but not enough to get me to buy it.

mckerney · 07-12-2013, 03:18 AM

Another game I highly recommend checking out during the Summer Sale.

Thomas Was Alone - $2.49: A wonderful puzzle platformer about jumping and friendship that managed to make me tear up over a bunch of colored blocks.

Icy · 07-12-2013, 03:53 AM

Cities XL Platinum loops tempting and i haven't played a decent city builder for ages, have you guys played it?

Icy · 07-12-2013, 04:23 AM

Just bought don't starve, i'm curious about it and it's not that i can find a lot of Mac games that is a plus when i don't want to restart in bootcamp to play more complex games.

cartman · 07-12-2013, 08:17 AM

FM 2013 is currently $9.99 in a flash sale. Good until noon Central.

And vanilla Civ V is $7.49.

It's soulless. You can make some pretty cities, but there's no real challenge and there's a bug in the engine that requires you to restart the game every 45 minutes once the city is a reasonable size. It might be worth $5, but I'd stay clear and drop the 5-spot on something like Dawn of Discovery. It may not be a pure city builder, but it's close and a damn sight more entertaining than Cities XL (even with the Ubi-fail DRM).

Everyone remember the rules of Steam Sales!!!

If there's a game you want, you only buy it when it's on a flash sale, a daily sale or the last day of the Steam sale.

Haven't played any of the Saints Row games, so I picked up The Third for $4.99.

Icy · 07-12-2013, 11:46 AM

I have been playing "do not starve" for 2 hours already today, simple but deep at same time, so far really fun game that makes you to keep playing and playing non stop. My surviving record so far is just 6 days.

Once you die, you start again from zero, no matter how much did you advance, but i think that is one of the strongest points f the game, you really want to survive, but even if you die, you start to plan how to do it better this time.

Eh, if I got it for free, odds are I wouldn't ever play it. But since I have $5 worth of skin in the game, I'll at least check it out.

cartman · 07-12-2013, 02:41 PM

Is Surgeon Simulator 2013 worth a $3.39 look?

Drake · 07-12-2013, 02:45 PM

Well...Call of Juarez, XCOM Enforcer, The Walking Dead, and Far Cry 3 (on the Flash Sale) and I'm in for $50.

I'm trying to figure out how to tell my wife that spending $50 on video games today was actually a really good deal, since I specifically held off on XCOM, TWD and (especially) FC3 all this time waiting for the Summer Sale pricing.

So...it's like I actually *made* us money with what I saved over retail, right?

Was hoping for an XCom deal-75% off for about the next 6 hours-$9.99

DaddyTorgo · 07-12-2013, 03:19 PM

Yep - trying to get on there to pick up XCom - and Just Cause 2 and for that matter (although that's one of those I think would play better on my TV given the screen size) and Walking Dead. Although maybe I should do Walking Dead on my iPad?

Honolulu_Blue · 07-12-2013, 03:31 PM

The Walking Dead for $6.24? Wow.

I just bought the "400 Days" DLC for $5. That was only about an hour and half worth of game play and I still found it very worthwhile.

For some reason I am tempted to buy GTA IV for $4.99. I have never played any GTA game, so I am curious, but I doubt I will ever play it.

It's probably a better joke than it is a game but I thought out was good for a few hours of fun.

DaddyTorgo · 07-12-2013, 03:34 PM

Should I buy 400 Days and play it before the main story, or play after, or what?

To be honest, I really don't think it matters all that much. Any references (there may be one, maybe?) to the main story are pretty obscure and don't reveal much of anything. It's all different characters. That said, it's meant to be played after, so I would play it after.
