Steam Summer Getaway Sale

Recommended Posts

I ended up with...

 

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

The Basement Collection

Bastion

Ben There, Dan That!

Cart Life

The Cave

Organ Trail: Director's Cut

Rogue Legacy

Time Gentlemen, Please!

 

I was sorely tempted to pick up Fallout 3 or New Vegas, but other than that I am pretty happy that I got what I got without spending too much. Now the question is how many of these games I will actually play.

 

"too much" = $2.50?

I love New Vegas like nobodies business, and if you're a fan 1 & 2, NV takes a lot from the original F3 plan. 

 

Also, the 4 DLCs for NV are some of the best of the DLC era, in my opinion, closer to classic "expansion packs" than the modern 2 hour mission. There is a thread that runs through all of them that adds up to a short game in itself. I would play those back to back.

I am confused by the Civ 5 Gold deal. Does that include all DLC? Why is the other stuff even on sale at all then? And for way more money? I'm kind of bummed as I bought all the DLC during the sale before Gold went on sale, I think?

Gold includes all DLC, except the newly released Brave New World. Civ 5 vanilla is 7.50, Civ 5 Gold is 10, but if you already own Civ 5 vanilla, you can pay 2.50 to upgrade your vanilla to gold. I think they've had the gold upgrade for a while now.

Minor correction: It was five bucks to upgrade. Unless there was some sort of flash sale I missed.

It was €2.50 at 75% off in the general Europe area today, which is what I bought it for, so I dunno!

I have so much American bias! That's funny. I feel like a gluttonous cowboy right now.

I don't know if we should start a new thread about the silly card thing, but I started running games with cards in the background to get some drops and I noticed two things:

-If nobody plays the game, the cards seem to be more expensive? The Night of the Rabbit cards are 50 cents each!

-It's ridiculous the amount of games that are getting cards. Each days I see a new handful of games with cards to get.

 

I wonder if getting them on day one makes them more valuable? I could get drops for a game I don't care about and find out. :P

I had trouble with the tutorial and now I can't get past the first level. I'm kinda bad at it.

Drunk me made some really questionable purchases on Friday night.  That guy is a dick.  For some reason he thought Euro Truck Simulator would be a riot, along with all of the Hitman games.  I don't even like the Hitman games.

I've never played, but a couple of friends really like Eurotruck, if for no other reason than listening to European radio stations.
