Brandon Strader Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Steam's summer sale started a little after 1pm EST today. I want Rogue Legacy, so I'm waiting for a decent sale on that. Share your recommendations of sale items for people who may not know about them. I'll start. This game is 40% off, and it is pretty awesome. It's an environment survival game with a beautiful art style, pig men, manure, crafting tools, researching prototypes and basically trying not to starve. You'll collect resources from a lot of bushes, trees, rocks, etc and try to survive as long as you can. Counter-Strike! I was skeptical this would be as good as the previous Counter-Strike games (specifically the original CS) but it's pretty good. The community is pretty terrible, but hey, give a gamer a microphone and an opportunity and you're gonna be searching for that mute button. Luckily, it's easy enough to mute people, and the game itself is a ton of fun. The cool people who are hilarious make up for any bad people who come across the mic. Game of the Year, but you can get it for $24 on www.greenmangaming.com Save your money and buy from GMG! I'll just say it's very quirky, and worth the $2.50 Quote
The Damned Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Game of the Year, but you can get it for $24 on www.greenmangaming.com Save your money and buy from GMG! Actually, it's the same price as Steam's sale right now. No difference there. Quote

Brushfire Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Aight. I have 2 extra Football Managers and 2 Dead Island Riptides for trade for the cards remaining in the steam getaway set. Help me out. I have Dead Island Riptide, Bioshock Infinite, Football Manager, Prison Architect, Reus, and Tomb Raider. If you have one not listed (Skyrim, Torchlight, Kerbal Space Program, or Chivalry) and need Dead Island or a Football Manager, send me a trade request on Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Brushfire Quote
The Derrit Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Bastion is on sale for less than 3 bucks in the 8 hour flash sale. that and dark souls. Also for the next one, everyone vote for KOTOR 2! never played it but i want to. Quote
Native Jovian Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Bastion is one of the flash sale games for the next eight hours. It's an amazing action game (with some RPG elements). The amount of polish is incredible. I literally can't say enough about how great this game is (but I'll mention the soundtrack in particular, this being a video game music site and all). If you haven't already, buy it buy it buy it. Edit -- accursed ninjas! Quote
Sir_NutS Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Waiting on Rogue Legaxy to go on sale. It is an AWESOME game based on such a simple concept but manages to be incredibly addicting. Everyone should play it. Quote
Annie Felis Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 So does it seem like Steam's servers are shitting themselves? Right now it's saying that you can vote to have Mass Effect 2 cost $0. They weren't loading earlier, too. Quote
Hyperion5182 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 The big one on there is defiance! God i wish i had the money to get this. I'm flat broke my money is required for other things or i'd snap it up in a heartbeat. The skyrim sale isnt bad either. Quote

KingTiger Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I have an extra 10% off coupon for Toki Tori 2+ (which is already 34% off during the sale), if anybody wants it. Quote
linkspast Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 There are good deals to be had for sure, and a few games I want to pick up. But I know that the last day things get really good. Ill wait till the last day or so. Quote
Ptazza Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 So how does this year's Steam mechanic work? Like for badges and stuff, it's all about trading cards...and god forbid I think it's just about giving them more money for a better badge. Previous events normally just required like one purchase of any value and maybe a gift to tick boxes. Quote

Like for badges and stuff, it's all about trading cards...and god forbid I think it's just about giving them more money for a better badge.Previous events normally just required like one purchase of any value and maybe a gift to tick boxes. You get a card for each item on the list you buy... so yeah it's a bit poor but to be honest the card system, quirky as it is isn't great. I'd rather get "XP" for playtime accumulated than buying games. Quote
Native Jovian Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 You get a card every time you a) vote on three community choice games, craft a game badge (I think? They said something about that happening before the sale started, not sure if it still works), or c) spend $10 in the Steam store. I think there will be enough community choice votes to get all the cards (or at least enough cards to trade duplicates you have one-to-one for cards you don't have) without having to do anything else, given that the sale is 11 days long and there are more than three votes a day.

Ptazza Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hmm seems I missed a memo on forging badges need to learn I guess. Quote
Brushfire Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Got a Kerbal card for you, if you still need it. I added ya, send me a trade invite at your leisure. Quote
Annie Felis Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Civ V is only $8 for the next hour. I'm thinking of picking up Antichamber, too. How good is it? Has anybody tried it? Quote
Brushfire Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Got a skyrim card from voting so that is scratched of my list. Thanks Dark Link for the Kerbal Card. Quote

Theory of N Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 It's kind of sad when you go to buy a game like GTA IV because it's on sale for $5 and Steam tells you that you already own it. What? When the hell did I get GTA IV? Quote

When the hell did I get GTA IV? Prolly the last Steam Sale. I hope Sleeping Dogs gets the next community choice. That was a game I missed when it came out. Quote
Brushfire Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I got another Football Manager, a Tomb Raider, and a Prison Architect for trade. Quote
