Steam Summer Sale: What did you buy?

[Hypertion]

I have only ever bought one thing from steam.

This summer sale i bought the X Super box. Containing not only the game which i couldn't remember the name after playing for free on gametap for 5+ years, but its predecessor and sequels and their various expansions.

 

[Wilbot666]

My purchases haven't come close to a lot of folks in this thread but I have bought the following:

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (Awesome)
Hitman Absolution (Haven't tried yet.)
Mark of the Ninja (Stealth gaming done properly.)
Star Wars: KotOR 2 (An old favourite that I re-bought because someone borrowed my hard-copy and I can't remember who.)

I actually thought I'd bought more, I've been a little more controlled this year than I was last year when I bought about 20 titles. I'm still considering a couple more but am waiting for them to come up on special.

Can anyone tell me if FTL is any good for someone who doesn't particularly like strategy games?

 

[Solarisirolos]

So far I only bought Bioshock Infinite and Metro Last Light. I have been trying to clear out my backlog from previous sales so I decided to only buy the games that genuinely interested me beyond impulse buying.

 

[Pinkscare]

Nothing.
I just way the time when the game Dust: An Elysian Tale become more cheaper.

It's a beautiful game; can become repetitive. I'm at like 35%; don't know when I'll finish.

 

[endnuen]

FTL
Mark of the Ninja
SotS: The Pit: Mind Games
StarDrive

And then I preordered the deluxe or w/e Europa Universalis IV

 

[camerinian]

My computer is kind of average for gaming, so I've only been able to buy non graphics-intensive indie games and older titles. But from that, I've purchased:

The Binding Of Isaac
Braid
Garry's Mod
Hotline Miami
Just Cause 1 (seriously go and get it right now. I haven't installed it yet, so I have no idea if it's any good, but it's 27 cents. 96% off. You literally have nothing to lose)
Poker Night At The Inventory 1 and 2
System Shock 2
Thomas Was Alone

I also still want to get Mark Of The Ninja, as I missed it when it was first super cheap. I'm also considering getting FTL, but I'm not too much of a roguelike person, so I'm not sure how much mileage I'll get out of it.

Oh and I finally installed Torchlight 1 from when it was free on GOG. So add that to the pile aswell.

 

[purf]

I haven't actually been to the wiki at all yet. Maybe I should. But hey I managed to make an agile silver shortsword.

Nah. Don't. It takes away from the game. Just make sure to use the guide's expertise on using crafting materials. I had overlooked that for most of my playing time.

 

[endtherapture]

All of the Skyrim DLC, FTL, Chivalry, Deadlight...and that's about it.

Other games I wanted like X-Com and Far Cry 3 weren't heavily discounted enough for me to pick them up so I'm jut going to wait til December.

Oh and I rebought The Witcher 2 because I love CDProjekt.

 

[hazabaza1]

"Psssh, I won't buy anything, I already have all the games I would have wanted ages ago.

[PPB]

So far,

Dawnguard and Hearthfire DLC for Skyrim (already have Dragonborn)
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate
Torchlight 2
XCOM

The only games I planned on getting were New Vegas and the Skyrim DLC. Caved in and compulsively bought TL2 and XCOM at the last minute yesterday. Love XCOM from the hour or so I played so far. Still unsure about TL2 (as much as I respect the fine folks behind it, they can't seem to design classes that appeal to me).

I don't plan on getting anything else, though Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is staring at me right now.

 

[Berserker119]

I got:

Cave Story+
XCOM: Enemy Unknown (plus the DLC)
Castle Crashers
Football Manager 2013
Surgeon Simulator 2013
Super Meat Boy
The Witcher
The WItcher 2
Poker Night at the Inventory 2
Max Payne 3
Organ Trail: Directors Cut
Kerbal Space Program
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Evoland

as well as pre-purchasing Shadowrun Returns, and getting DOTA 2, but those don't really count.

I bought X-Com but I can't get it to work. It gets past the powered by Unreal screen and then I get a windows message that says "X-Com has stopped running." Any ideas? I already did the steam online help and I have a ticket in with them, but haven't heard anything yet.

I had a problem with mine in-game that I couldn't seem to get past, but rebooting it enough times just seemed to work. There seems to be a lot of freezing/crashing bugs and glitches so maybe it'll get patched.

Are you using XP by any chance? If I remember right, XCOM requires at least Vista since it uses DirectX 10.

 

[Headsprouter]

Holy shizz. I see these massive lists and all I bought was Organ Trail, which I have buyers remorse for even though it was 99p, Sanctum 2 and RAGE. The only things I regret not buying are Bad Company 2, and Bioshock 2, which I might still end up buying, anyway...

I'm just really not a big spender at all.

 

[silentNate]

The Binding of Isaac (+Lamb of God) - simply awesome!!!
Deadlight
Half Life (+DLC)
Half Life II (+DLC)
LA Noire
Portal
Portal II
Super Meat Boy
Surgeon Simulator - no idea why... impulse I guess
Team Fortress Classic - part of a bundle, very low chance of ever being played
The Walking Dead
Thomas Was Alone
Tomb Raider DLC
Trine II
Worm Revolution DLC

Things I didn't buy... Limbo

Why wasn't Limbo on sale?!?!?!?!

I got two badges also... Summer Sale and Tomb Raider!

 

[crazyarms33]

No, I'm using Windows 7. I'm hoping it's something a patch can fix, but until Steam gets back to me I'm not sure what is going on.

 

[Reynaert]

So far I only bought Wargame: European Escalation. I just played the first mission and I have not regretted my purchase so far.

 

[Saviordd1]

And here I thought I bought a lot, then I saw your list.

At any rate, I got a solid number of games, though I'll probably wind up getting something else before its over tomorrow.

Evoland
Simcity 4 Deluxe
Defiance
Reus
Warhammer 40000: GOTY edition
Democracy 2
Civilization 4
Leviathan: Warships
Anno 2070
World in Conflict: Complete
Rome: Total War Collection
Dishonored
King Arthur 2
Two Worlds 2
Empire: Total War

All for under 100 bucks


It's been a good sale.

 

[Elemental]

Let's see...

System Shock 2
The Binding of Isaac with DLC
Deus Ex Collection with all the DLC (and it was dirt cheap too holy shit)
Portal 2
Thomas Was Alone
Hotline Miami
HL2: Episode One

God I love the Steam sales they're fucking insane! SOMEONE TAKE AWAY MY FUCKING WALLET

 

[IrenIvy]

I got "Dark Souls" among couple of other things. I'm pretty sure I'll be ok with all those other things (Bioshock Infinite, Torchlight II) because they are sort of things I usually play but 'Dark Souls' is the experience I'm most curious about because I never considered myself hardcore player. Either it will be glorious or I'll hate it intensely.

 

[Sammyjb17]

Not that I believe anyone actually cares too much:

Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina
Borderlands 2: Mechromancer
Castle Crashers + the DLCs
Civ 5: Brave New World
DMC
Don't Starve
Gunpoint
Monaco
Organ Trail


and Walking Dead for my friend
