Thread: Steam Summer Sales

  1. #1

    Default Steam Summer Sales

    So has anyone had the chance to look at some deals Steam has going? What have you bought, or are going to buy?

    I also saw there was The Sims 3 compelte bundle, which includes all expansions, at -67%. Meaning a saving of roughly $200 - though it's a rip off anyway. I was thinking of getting this, but I'm not sure... should I?

    Get Shogun 2 or KOTOR or the GTA classics or Just Cause 2.

    The Sims is never worth the price they ask.

    Even with a $200 saving? I only ask because I do love simulation games, though I've never tried The Sims before.

    I just bought Just Cause 2, The Longest Journey 1 and 2, Toki Tori, Braid and Hamilton's Great Adventure.

    I'm debating about Braid, and KOTOR. I'm just not sure my computer has enough memory anymore. I seriously need to tone down my music collection on this machine. Its also pretty old, so I'm not sure if KOTOR would run properly.

    Don't get me wrong, The Sims is a great series and there's a lot of fun in it, but the way they do their expansions really gets my goat. To be honest $100 for TS3 and all four expacs AND the DLC, if that's what it includes, is about as good a deal as you'll get on the thing before The Sims 4 comes out. I would go for it myself if I wasn't jaded by EA xD I may have been overstating my position in the first reply though.

    Yeah, it does. And it's for $80. Though the only problem is future expansion and DLC is going to be expensive... Otherwise, I haven't heard anything about a Sims 4, is that in production?

    Not heard anything but I'm sure they are working on it.

    At that price I would say go for it tbh!

    Cool, just did!

    New sale on today, I ended up getting Half Life 2, Episode 1 and 2 for around $5. I'm considering Super Meat Boy and Plants Vs. Zombies.

    Can't comment on Super Meat Boy but PvZ is fantastic!

    Picked up Sword of the Stars and it's expansions, and I must say regardless of the fairly obvious flaws, it's a very well designed game.

    Hmm, Civilization V is at 50% off bringing it to $39.99. Worth it? I wonder if it's cheaper elsewhere...

    I came to this thread specifically in case anyone was undecided on Civ 5.

    DO NOT purchase it. It isn't worth anything close to $40. It's the most thoroughly mediocre 4x I've ever had the displeasure of playing and I have no idea how they could mess up so bad.

    Just picked up the Dawn of War 2 Gold Edition (one with Chaos Rising) package for £13.49, ironically same price as the Dawn of War 2 single game edition. I played the demo briefly and whilst I feel Dawn of War 1 especially from an Imperial Guards perspective would be more true to form this is a game which I enjoyed the demo for

    If you read all 14,000 words he talks about Square-Enix for a few sentences at the bottom.
