Steam summer sale damage thread

Yeah VATS is optional.

Yeah, optional, but the game is painful without it, given that's it's not a typical FPS.

Xcom and dlc
Sins trinity

Never got round to xcom on the day of the big release, pleased to be catching up now and sins for gaming with huw - I occassionally feel I've missed out with skyrim, metro, assassins creed, witcher hoohaa but in the end I don't think they're for me

[Gusington]

Skyrim is.

[Staggerwing]

OK. Here're my final choices:

- All the Skyrim DLC (I already have the original so I passed on 'Legendary Edition, or whatever it's called)
- Dishonored + the DLC (the dlc is cheap)
- Euro Truck Simulator 1 (I already have 2 but it's not Mac simpatico, my Winbox is still in post move pieces, and I need something to play ASAP)
- Agricultural Simulator (don't ask)
- Bridge Project (you build bridges, duh)
- The bundle with Tachyon, F-16, MiG29, Joint Ops, and all the Delta Force stuff

Here's a video showing 75 minutes of a first play through session.  The guys don't really seem to know what they're doing all that well but it gives you a decent idea of what to expect from the gameplay.

From Steam:

[Arctic Blast]

Rising Storm
Joe Danger & Joe Danger 2 Pack
Kerbal Space Program
Dark Souls (my one "What the Hell was I thinking?!" from this sale. Yes, already)
Reus
Tomb Raider
Fallen Enchantress : Legendary Heroes
Darksiders II with the mission DLC packs
Don't Starve
Gunpoint
A whole pile of tables and table packs that I was missing for Pinball FX2

That's...actually pretty reasonable. Fought off temptation for most of the fringe "Don't know if I want it...but it's so cheap!" buys this time around.

[Yskonyn]

Completed HoI 3 DLC
StarDrive
Endless Space
Walking Dead
Civ 5 BNW

Pretty modest, if I say so myself!

Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing but I only got one game from the sale.  Civ V: Brave New World, funny thing is it wasn't even suppose to be on sale.   ;D

[PanzersEast]

I liked the way I stuck to my "I'm only going to buy 2 or 3 games" promise Fail.....

Made it a couple of days without a purchase but caved on the last day and picked up Retro City Rampage and X3 TC & Albion Prelude for a grand total of $11, so not too bad.  I did pickup Evil Genius from GOG.  I have to say though I will cut playing time out of other games, I am very happy with all of my purchases and if you are like me and you factor out $/per hr, that is some cheap entertainment and good value on your return.  Still ashamed of how much crap I have though.

My biggest surprise is how much I like EU Truck Sim 2, already averaging $.80 on the hour for that one.  Games I have tried and like the most are Wargame Airland Battle, EU Truck Sim 2, and Brave New World DLC.  My only regret thus far is Evil Genius, however I have not given it a proper play through.  Held off on the Skyrim DLC as I am playing with Falskaar which should last me until the Fall Sale which I plan to only put a small amount into my Steam Wallet and stick with it  :-P
