Open Steamworks Unearths Steam's Summer Sales
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
About friggin' time that we got to hear something about the sale! I was almost starting to get worried that Valve would skip it this year.
I'm seeing that the "Bethesda Collection" in the list has Skyrim included, and seeing how collections like these usually have a lowered price on top of the discount itself, that might also be worth a look.CardinalPiggles said:
This definitely isn't a complete list, it only shows the indie games and the large bundles, there will be much more than this on sale guys.
Legends say... If you go into a dark bathroom and say Gabe Newell's name 3 times into the mirror... When you turn around there will be a mountain of hats and your wallet will be missing...MammothBlade said:Hmm, looking forward to Mount & Blade, Hearts of Iron III, Thief, and maybe more Railworks 3 trains.
Replace that with a picture of Gabe Newell's rapeface.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
Some good games in there, ones that I've put off buying. Goddamn it, Valve.
On topic now:
To many Indies... The point of these sales are the AAA games... Steam already sells Indies for cheap.
Out of that list I'm seeing:
Lone Survivor
Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP
Defcon
Space Chem
Sol Exodus
Eufloria
Civilization collection
Sniper Elite collection
Stardock collection
Sigh. Welp, guess I'm in for a spending spree. :/
Oh well. I can guarantee I'll play all of the games I buy, so it's not like they'll go to waste. Besides, the summer and winter sales save me a fortune on buying gaming gifts for friends and family.
Let's do it!! Who's got the shot glasses?
Oh, and wallet.

Dear God.....that's a terrible idea. Someone's going to have alcohol poisoning by page two.Clearing the Eye said:

Expansion on previous post which I forgot I had:
Day 1: I already have most of these and I'm not that interested in DeathSpank, seeing as I have Torchlight already, but as for Lone Survivor...
Day 2: Nothing here, move along.
Day 3: Well, Runner was pretty good, though stupidly hard, and this is coming from an Touhou fan...Maybe Beat will actually let me make mistakes without instantly failing me?
Day 4: Don't need or want to buy anything today.
Day 5: Unfortunately, that's the Ys game I already have - but if Origin goes on sale too...
Day 6: Already own everything I want from this list.
Day 7: Heard about Dredmor but I'm not into roguelikes, and none of the others interest me.
Day 8: Uh...Who?
Day 9: Zeno Clash, huh?
Day 10: Hmm...no.
Day 11: Last day and not much to show for it. Won't get any of these five.
The only bundle that contains anything I'm interested in and don't already have is the Thief bundle and I can't guarantee that they'll all work on Windows 7, the way I can guarantee it with GoG. For that reason, unless there are other things that drop at least a little bit as well, I probably won't spend much until Christmas. Hopefully those are all just the 'super sales' and not all the sales they'll have period.
So my planned grabs so far are Lone Survivor, Bit.Trip Beat and Zeno Clash. Depending on whether those bundle games are all that also go down in price or not, I might nab some other games too, like Ys Origin. Well, summer doesn't continue much longer, Valve - I know about the Valve Time phenomenon but if you could get this out in time last year...

Well, the bundles contain a bunch of AAA stuff - ever wanted New Vegas or Skyrim but thought they were too expensive?SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Out of all the games listed, there is only one or two that I may buy... Seems my wallet may survive after all.
Wow if that is the real full list then there is nothing that is OMG MUST BUY and only a few things that I have any interest in at all, as I already own most of the (IMO)best games from the list. Also *obligatory comment about wallets*
There's a rumor it starts on the 12th of July.Reet72 said:
OT: Hopefully this list is a hoax because even though I've been itching for a new game for a while now, I'm not at all interested in any of these. Which would mean I've been holding out for the summer sale in vain.
Oh well, I kept it up so far. Might as well wait and see if the day one prediction is correct before I buy something at full price after all.
There are some things that look good, but I guess I have most of the games I want. I will be getting Batman Arkham City though. Hopefully Assassins Creed Revelations will be on sale too.
I guess I'll get Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Hydrophobia, and Metro 2033. Might grab Bioshock if it's cheap enough. It's been long enough since I played it last.
I was really hoping to see the Mass Effect trilogy get bundled since I have yet to finish any of them, as well as the Penny Arcade games.

Oh thank the video games gods they're only offering crap and things I already have. My wallet is safe for another year

Gabe Newell...
Gabe Ne... ACK, I can't do it! >.<'
I already have my wallet pretty empty and I already have all the games I was interested in.
Maybe if they discount Dungeon Defenders, I'd may get it, but otherwise, I'm pretty safe... I think... >.>'
You presented a list of games I'm not interested in as well as games I already have hence why I won't be buying this year.Jmp_man said:Don't make me laugh...Risingblade said:
