Really, I just want Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron to be in a $7-$15 price range. Just that and I'd be happy. Sure, I could deal with all sorts of little DLC discounts for other games, but a cheap TFoC would make me pretty damn happy.

Oh, and Deadpool. Cheap Deadpool.

CS:GO is on Flash Sale for $5 on Steam.  Hoping FarCry3 goes real cheap in the next flash sale.

Everything Borderlands 2 is 66% off. I'm nabbing a few dlc for myself and getting my girl game/season pass/mechromancer. If you don't have the game by now, get it.

That is like literally every game in my collection.

I still have a number of psx/ps2 games that I really, really want to get through.

I'm hoping that with FFVII on Steam that others are soon to follow.

Just got Last Remnant for a smidge over $3. People who say it's good say it's a pretty good tactical rpg and I do love me some SquareEnix tactical gaming. Even if it turns out mediocre or just barely above average, it's under $5.

This may be the first steam sale where I won't buy anything.  Nothing has struck me as a must buy now as of yet.

Post by: MahoneyRed on July 14, 2013, 08:31:38 PM
I also purchased the ace combat.

Kerbal space program!

How is that Kerbal Space Program?  I figure it will be another flash sale or end sale.

It looks like some games are being recycled for the sales without any additional discount.  Looks like Crysis 2 is on 70 percent off through daily deal.  Soon I have to jump back online and play some evening with the group.

Crysis Warhead (which comes with... you guessed it... CRYSIS WARS) is $6 right now.

If you have not found a game you want yet on the Steam summer sale, don't bother. The games are starting to all look like repeats from earlier in the sale with no deeper discount if on daily deal of flash sales.

That is, unless you go through the under $5/$10 section as that does change a little bit every day. picked up the strike suit zero bundle for about $12. Didn't even know it was on sale.

PAYDAY: The Heist is only $5 right now, and for the next 3 hours! This game is fun, and I only played once with Petch, Twins, and Shoctor. Get in on this one, it's sure to be a game night selection!

I have only played this single player and it is SO ADDICTING!!  How much better is the game playing cooperative?  I figure three other human players make the teamwork better than trying to direct the AI in the single player game.

Thanks for the headsup, picked up PayDay with ~35 minutes to spare!

The MP is really really difficult. We never finished the game and from what I remember we weren't even at the highest difficulty. I did have a lot of fun with it though.

CnC Red Alert 3 for $6 right now.
Title: Re: Steam Summer Sale

Does it do steam matching or does is use the internal CnC system?

unfortunately, it uses your EA/Origin userid/password.

Ah then there's no sense getting it for steam if I already have a physical copy. I'll grab one for the kid. He's surprisingly good at this specific game. We were playing 2 v 2 (bots) and before I knew it he was sending quite the armada over to the enemy base.
