Steam Summer Sale 2012 - what did RD buy?

[Tom]

Everyone thinking about Fable 3, check out the IGN review first.

It doesn't seem to be as great as it is on the 360, sadly.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

Dragon Age: Origins for 7,5€, that's pretty cheap.

A good game; perhaps the last Bioware good RPG. It has a lot of mods around, which is always nice.

 

[Tom]

Scumbag Steam doesn't want people to gift the Portal 2 pack, I guess.

Also, Alan Wake Franchise was / is on sale - 9€ for both games is pretty cheap.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

The Witcher 2 for 16€, that's an awesome deal too.

One of the best RPGs of late, and it looks gorgeous.

Strange. I can purchase games I own as gifts without issues. Perhaps a glitch in the matrix, I'd try again.

Ah well, told my roomie about it and she bought it for herself and her boyfriend - saved some money, at least.

 

[Senad Subasic]

I'm loving the choices.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

The other games are Batman: Arkham City, Arma II and Fable 3. And even if it says the game is not available in your region, I'm sure you can actually buy it anyway.

 

[Senad Subasic]

That's strange. I've seen ArmA and Batman several times on different sales.

Anyway, I can receive unavailable games as gifts, but was never able to buy them myself.

 

[Senad Subasic]

ArmA has now appeared, LOL. The other two still unavailable.

 

[Tom]

Is this the last batch of daily deals? I'm just curious because it says "Until 22nd" and I'm not sure if they'll offer new daily deals on the 22nd as well.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

If you haven´t played Portal or any of the Half Life games then buy them, if you dislike any of them i will send you a refund

Incredible games imo.

I didn't really have fun with Half-Life 1 until 2005 or 2006, to be honest. Might've been because as a teenager you wanted to shoot things without thinking about anything a lot.

Could be To tell you the truth it was a little bit like that for myself but the 2 series for me when i was older was just mind blowing.
I played the first a little, can´t remember much then blue shift can´t remember a thing
But 2nd series is incredible.

Waiting for Episode 3 or Half Life 3, it´s been something like 2-3 years now.

Only ever played the 2nd one until you reach the big place and meet the big walkers for the first time. Will try to play through HL2 soon, tho.

Ouch, I managed to stay away from buying games... Until now.

So far I've bought:

• SimCity 4 Deluxe 4,99€
• Red Orchestra Franchise Pack, 19,19€
• Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack, 14,99€ *
• Saints Row 2, 2,49€
• Hearts of Iron 3 Collection, 17,99€

Also thinking about Operation Flashpoint Franchise, Trials 2 and The Ship. Any idea if 11,24 for Flashpoint Franchise is good?

* GTA Complete Pack is 2,50€ Cheaper than GTA IV Complete... So, it's a no brainer!

 

[Tom]

I've been thinking about Flashpoint as well but reviews were not too good for both of them. Also, they're apparently not like the old Flashpoint games. I'd stay away from them.

I've never played any of the old flashpoint games, so, that won't be a problem for me.
I'm mostly after some easy, no brainer fun. Hearts of Iron is the game I need to use my brain on!

The Ship is mostly because it sounds a bit... unique, and I can give free games to friends, so we can play together! c",)
