STEAM SUMMER SALE 2014 (Sale over, open discussion)

[Askew]

Purchased Metro: :Last Light Complete, Sleeping Dog Complete and The Wolf Amung Us.

 

But WTH is up with the South Park price? Its been as low as £15 in the UK so I thought Steam would at least go that low. Its currently £26.79 on sale.

 

Great set of games, I'm probably going to buy The Wolf Among us at that price, I've been meaning to pick that up and it looks like a good deal.

 

I have to say I agree with the Stick of Truth price, it's still quite high.

 

 

And in just 5 years I could play it with Tress FX enabled, when GPUs finally have enough power for it!

 

I played the game on my 670 with TressFX on, no AA and a turned the shadows down just a touch and had no problems holding 60fps at 1080p.

 

When it came out it was much more difficult to run especially for Nvidia.

This thread is great!

 

For today's deals, Metro seems quite cool, I might get that one.

But Sleeping Dogs, is that game worth it? The price surely is low, but is it a fun game?

Thanks!

 

Metro is very good, I don't think Sleeping Dogs is a bad game but I didn't enjoy it myself.

Sleeping Dogs is great fun, I must have spent at least 50hrs when I played the Xbox 360 version. I purchased at £5.99 (So $9.99 in US?) for the complete pack with DLC, there is also a free HD texture pack. Although the game is well optimized for PC the texure pack makes some things more clear.

 

With HD pack: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049395262217/9DC89954538CCA050EC4BB06EFC3A09E917F1EC0/

Missed Hitman Absolution and Sniper Elite v2 but Borderlands 2 and Tomb Raider are now both $5

 

ps: Natural Selection for $3.75!!

 

NS is a very good and very underrated multiplayer game.

Yesterday I got Sid Meier's Pirates for $2.49.

 

Today I nabbed:

Metro 2033 $2.99

Metro Last Light Complete $6.79

Tomb Raider GOTY Edition $7.49

 

Only two games left on my wishlist, Fallout 3 GOTY & New Vegas GOTY. They've both been at 40% since the sale started.

Guys if I buy Metro: Last Light Complete is there an upgrade that will be out to make it Redux when that comes out?

No, I think you safe 5 bucks on redux if you have the original game but that's it. No further discounts. It's not really worth it for last light, I'd just get 2033 in the redux version and stick with the original last light.

No, you will get 50% off buying the full Redux editions if you own both on Steam already, or 25% off for just one.

This is good advice, I'd take the Last Light complete pack now, and then grab 2033 from the Redux when it comes out on its own as 2033 is the one that's going to have seen the most improvements.

[AfroLedgend]

Is Transformers: FoC the good one or is that WfC?

[droidxd00d]

Is Transformers: FoC the good one or is that WfC?

I have both and war for cybertron is a much better game

[AfroLedgend]

Thanks I couldn't remember, I played a demo once and forgot what it was. WfC is on sale for 4.99 .

Eh I can't get myself to buy Metro: Last Light non Redux.  No way.  I really do want to see these graphical and game improvements in the Redux versions and so I am going to wait but I may be waiting til the next big sale when they are severely discounted. Steam Summer Sale 2015. Heh

I think that the redux is more about bringing 2033 up to the existing standard of last light, but I'm sure there will be some additional improvements even if they are not substantial.

[Flaming Brain]

Nothing for me today so far...  Am up to my ears in learning to Skyrim mod lol!  Certainly looking out for Dark Souls II to be at a tasty discount though.  The South Park Game (GF is a big fan) not so good?  The discount is not very appealing.  Great thread here though. Really enjoying reading about everyone's successes!

 

Looking forward to some more great deals.

[Hidden Orange]

I wish the dlcs of skyrim were 75 percent off. ;~; 

Now I understand. It's like 9 bucks per expansion and 3 for a home improvement simulator. Also, I just realized how old Skyrim is. Welp, guess I'll be waiting for a drop on everything or The Elder Scrolls 6 or 7 if you count ESO.

 

Anyway, just nabbed Sleeping Dogs and the DLC collection. For whatever stupid reason, the "Collection" version is missing a decent side missions pack called "Nightmare on North Point", so I just picked up the whole DLC since buying that pack would cost around $1.50 alone; stupid, I know. Along with Sleeping Dogs, I picked up The Borderlands 2 GOTY, the Castle Crashers + BattleBlock Theater bundle, the DLC character packs for Castle Crashers and a digital art book for Tomb Raider just 'cause. I couldn't bring myself to buy games I've already played especially since they're about half the price I paid for them; Borderlands GOTY was $20 when I picked it originally and Transformers: War For Cybertron was a rental. Also, apparently it's "hack n' slash wallets" year for hack n' slash as both DmC: Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance sale prices are around the $15 mark. I really wanted to pick one of them or both, but nope... Oh well, next year, I guess.

 

Right now, I'm really hoping Darksiders 2 wins the community pick since that means "DEATH WILL RIDE AGAIN! At a discount".  :lol:

 

The Darksiders series are great games, but it's on hiatus since THQ died and Vigil Games had to disband. Hopefully, the Four Horsemen and Horsewoman will ride again!

 

Edit: I would also like to note that I'm feeling the pain of Steam sale. MY WALLET!

Darksiders games are good, Death is such a badass.

Coincidentally, Michael Wincott, the VA for Death, sorta looks like Death when he played as Top Dollar in The Crow which is even more ironic when you consider that Death is a "good" guy and is helped by a crow while Top Dollar is a villain and you can guess which side The Crow is on in that story.

"OG Borderlands GTY"? Original Gangsta Borderlands Gunnin' Them Yuppies? Why have I not heard of this masterpiece, Mr. Claptrap? Where is this on Steam? How much does this cost? How long until the sale ends? And If you don't tell me, Mr. Claptrap, I'll strap you to a pole and let bandits use you as target practice.  :lol:

 

Yay, typos!
