Steam summer sales

Anyone buying into this?

I bought about 10 games so far. Trine 2 is a steal.. Lot of good indie games too, if you're into those.

In a way, these summer sales kind of kill me though, because I do my real gaming on console, and didn't invest in a gaming computer. (At the time, I did not know about Steam summer sales, or that games could go for five dollars or less) So, I see something like, say, Mirror's Edge for 3 dollars, and while I can play it, we're talking 8-15 frames on average.. So it's a tough call getting it, or spending four or five times as much on the console versions for a better experience....

I brought the Dawn of War II set for about £10 and Crusader Kings II for another £10.

They have some damn good deals.

I bought Portal 2 for $5. And a few other small things thus far.

That Star Wars bundle is sorely tempting me, though. Battlefront 2 and the Jedi Knight games...**** yeah.

Bought Crusader kings 2 pack for 12.00.

I would have bought the Star Wars bundle if i didn't have half of the games already.

I did get Saints Row 3, Hitman Blood Money and Dead Space 1 and 2 for less than 30 dollars total, which is pretty good.

So far i've gotten, Psychonauts, Commander Keen Pack, Braid and Braid.

The entire F.E.A.R. collection, including expansions, went for 10 dollars in a flash deal. O_o

I ended up buying only the first, with two expansions, and the third, for more than that.

Edit.....i didn't do Braid twice its ment to be 'Bastion'

might do some of the things i have on my wishlist later this week.

Pretty sure I bought some SW bundle over winter because I have most of the games in the summer SW bundle. 😬

Anyway this time around:

Tropico 3 (Might be fun)
Left 4 Dead 2 four-pack (For myself and a buddy + trade bait)
Witcher 2 (Trade bait)
Borderlands DLC (Traded for Torchlight)
Magicka Collection (For some guy overseas who can't get to the sales)

Also traded one of my spare copies of L4D2 for Two Worlds 2, which my craplaptop refuses to play 😐

Still to buy:

Morrowind/Oblivion if they go on flash or daily sale
GTA Collection
Arma II CO

Spent way too much so far though.

So far I have got Super Meat Boy, Crysis collection and the Harley Quinn DLC for Arkham City.

Seeing I "just" bought F.E.A.R. 1 and 3 (And even if I didn't), do I really want Max Payne 1 and 2?

From videos, gameplay looks pretty similar, but F.E.A.R. has a pretty good reputation on gameplay. Does Max have anything else to offer that it can't, gameplay wise?

SMB is as good as the hype says.

Binding of Isaac's another good one, also from Team Meat.

Max Payne is far from being similar to the F.E.A.R games 😐

Yeah, not even close.

Bought Dragon Age Ultimate so I can get Awakening and all the DLC. Just Cause 2 on a whim and KOTOR to replace my disc copy.

I see..

I'll consider it, than.

Right now, I'm more interested in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. bundle. From videos, it sort of looks like a mix of survival horror tension and atmosphere, realistic gunplay, and RPG elements...

Considering all the games I bought already, that one might be too much of a time commitment though.. Especially with Fallout 3 being one of the games on the docket.

Oblivion GOTY Deluxe: $6
Morrowind GOTY: $5
Left 4 Dead 2 4-pack - $7.50
Tropico 3: $3
Borderlands DLC: $7.50
Magicka Collection$ 7.50
Witcher 2: $16

Traded Borderlands DLC for Torchlight. (Should have waited for a sale 😐)
Traded Magicka Collection for Fallout: New Vegas.
Traded Left 4 Dead 2 for Two Worlds II.
Traded Witcher 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Terraria for GTA Collection, Sim City 4, and Magicka.
Gave a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to a friend.

So, Oblivion GOTY Deluxe, Morowind GOTY, Left 4 Dead 2, Tropico 3, Torchlight, Fall Out: New Vegas, Two Worlds II, GTA Collection, Sim City 4, and Magicka for about $50.

My wallet survived. jw00t

Wait is Morrowind on sale right now or did I miss it?

Edit: Damn, I did miss it...

I was watching out for it hawkeyed and only saw it go on sale once, I think on Friday.

Maybe the first day or two of the sale when I wasn't paying as much attention, but yeah..

Some other ones that i ended up getting were

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death & MDK Combo.

Looks like 4X is having a free weekend for nearly their entire inventory. Gonna try and at least check them all out.

Only one I'll probably end up getting is the Endless Space collection though, since it's 2 dollars, and I'm planning on breaking my promise and getting No Man's Sky..

I jusy hope refunds are easy, in case my intel hd 620 onboard can't cut it (Supposesly Intel is supported, but my specific type wasn't on the list.. The neighboring types were.)
