Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Like my mom would let me. I have 3 younger siblings and the only computer that could run it half decently is in the kitchen. Not exactly optimal.

DONT PLAY IT if you are in that situation.
It is REALLY VIOLENT AND SCARY, and your mum probably hates it (Their ad campaign was pretty much my post)

Geneforge Saga is also on sale. That's 5 full games for $4. I always wanted to play those, too.

Oniken is part of the 1$ tier from Indie Gala. (Its like a NES Ninja Gaiden game but looking slightly nicer and without the standard NES annoyances).

Metal Slug 3 is part of the current Humble PC + Android bundle. (Not the best version but you can play coop online conveniently with it).

There is currently a Humble RPG Maker bundle. Pay 6 dollars to get both RPG Maker VX Ace and RPG Maker XP! Let's go flood Steam with player made games >:3

ARMA games are shooters? I always thought they were RTS games lol, I feel like I'm getting the name confused with another franchise... I did get a free game in that series from some steam deal though

Are you sure about that ? I thought only ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead and ARMA III were switching.

The first Crusader Kings complete is on sale for $3.33. I think another steam sale is about to take my money.

Not Steam, but better yet, the amazing GOG.com has started their Summer sale!

GOG is going crazy with their sales right now... wish I had money

Steam summer sale starts in an hour .Who's excited?

Ms Splosion Man is 75% off (And they have just removed GFWL).

i wish i had a pc that could run modern games

So, the Steam Sale has now started. Just for anyone not familiar with the sales; make sure to follow the advice of this helpful diagram (not made by me, obviously):

I can't afford a steam sale at the moment, but I'm going to participate in the whole card thing.

You get cards for casting votes in the community poll and spending certain amounts of cash, but I really don't want to spend any money this steam sale. Ignoring the fact that I wouldn't be able to download them if I wanted to at the moment, I've got enough PC download games to play through as it is.

[edit] Annoyingly, it looks like the cards themselves expire after the sale finishes - just like those flipping snow globes last year. That's kind of annoying.

(I could probably afford a steam sale actually, but I'm going to exercise restraint this time.)

You could just sell all the cards you get on the market and then buy some good indie games when they go on good sales? Although I'm guessing a couple of pounds difference wont matter to you. Better than them going away I guess?

If everything on my wishlist goes to 75% or more off then it will cost me about £150. I don't think it all will though.

I like Steam, but good god is the client slow. I'd be better off using my browser, but then it wants my authentication every single time...if they'd just have an "add to cart" button on the wishlist like GoG does, things would go a lot smoother...

The browser has major lag right now. But that client thingy is awful. I avoid it at all costs.

The steam summer sale is upon us! I'ma make an effort not to get too many games. (for real this time!)

also, I've started playing my games offline recently because I'm more conscious of what people see I'm playing. I dunno why, just some irrational habit I developed. But if it keeps me from impulse buying games like Record of Agarest War, I can't complain too much can I
