Steam Summer Sales Begins - (June 19-30)

[MikeGER]

dont forget there is also some sale-thing around thanksgiving...  IIRC ?

[Gusington]

Solid advice Toonces. As many of you guys have shiwed above, I also have not bought anything yet, and for the same reason...just to big of a backlog of unplayed games.

[Yskonyn]

More damage:

EU 4 DLC, partly for 50% off.

[Huw the Poo]

Good advice Toonces. I was debating on whether or not to pull the trigger on AOW3 this morning but will wait for the next big sale since I also have too many unplayed games. Waiting a few more months will also allow another patch or two to be released.

I honestly don't think AoW3 is worth getting unless you're quite desperate for another fantasy 4X.

Rooks, yeah, Frozen Synapse is a fantastic game.  Last year I thoroughly schooled Arctic Blast over a few games. :) I really like it, and there's so much to the base game that I haven't even had the inclination to buy the DLC.

I knew there must be someone else around here who liked it!   :)  I think FS is one of the most tragically overlooked games of the last few years.  I mean, it was a sales success, but doesn't get much buzz post release.  Not fair.   >:(

Spent my first money on the Steam sale - 2 DLC for Total War Rome II - £7

Too funny....I was just posting that I did the same in the Rome thread....my first purchase was also 3 DLC for Rome 2...couldn't pass up the cheap price:)

We were separated at birth - and the ugly one stayed in the US  :P

I have no argument for that:)

The only thing I've purchased from Steam during its Summer Sale has been Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons. I had been curious about it for some time and just couldn't pass it up when its price was $2.99 U.S.

[Gusington]

Still haven't bought anything...curiously leering at Legends of Eisenwald right now though...

I've been tempted to get it from the scuttlebutt, but the blinding neon colors scare me away every time.  My eyes could possibly end up bleeding.

[FarAway Sooner]

I went ahead and took the plunge on Crusader Kings II at 80% ($7.99).  I've heard enough good things about the game, if I ever decide to take a break from managing the minutiae of Distant Worlds Universe (bought shortly after release), at least I'll have somewhere to go give it a try. 

For $8, I'm happy to contribute to June consumer spending!   O:-)

[Toonces]

I keep going back to the Nascar 14 page...for $16 it's a tough call.  It has so damn many negative reviews, but I'm a pretty soft core car race guy so I keep wondering if I'll dislike as much as the hardcore guys do.

LOL!   ;D  It's actually not bad in practice.  The color scheme actually works quite well thematically, and it really isn't hard on the eyes.  And if you get the "Red" DLC, you can switch the color scheme to...red!   ;D
