Steam Summer Sale 2018 |OT| 6/21 - 7/5. Yes, it's still just 33% off.
- Thread starter Gentlemen
- Start date
Dailies are not a thing anymore. If it's a price you can stomach then get it because the prices won't change. Be sure to check other digital stores you use just to be sure you're getting the best deal because it's rare that Steam offers the best sale price anymore.
Meh, nothing I really want from my wish list too bad besides maybe A Hat in Time. Will check out the store more in depth later.
Once upon a time there was stuff like that, but it's changed so the deals stay the same the whole sale. THIS SAID, I would wait a bit. Usually in the first few hours when traffic is high, not all sales are accurate and not all games supposed to be on sale are on sale yet. Give it a few hours and should all be sorted though.
It is just straight down right now, to see if it's performing better when it comes back online.
Since I like stats, here are the discounts on my wishlisted games this sale:
Code:
>= 80% : 8 games
79 - 70% : 31 games
69 - 60% : 21 games
59 - 50% : 42 games
49 - 40% : 14 games
39 - 30% : 20 games
29 - 20% : 15 games
19 - 10% : 6 games
0% : 17 games
Possibly dumb question - can you not sort the Fanatical store by price or discount amount? Can't find any filters for it. Just want to see if there's any super cheap games that attract my interest...
I personally miss the dailies, but haven't the sales made more money since Valve ditched them?
Hmm, I'd kind of rather not be stopped in the middle of a story, but it looks like they're targeting by end of summer for full release, so I might just get it and wait until then. Thanks for the heads up. Looks really interesting!
Anyone know if NBA 2k18 is a quality game outside of my career mode. (i heard about it not being worth it unless you invest money) I just want the mode that is like dynasty mode in madden.
Never seen a game rated so poorly so a bit skeptical.

Yeah probably but that would only actually matter to me if I worked for Valve. It's not like I'll be buying a new Valve game they made from all that revenue anytime soon.
There is no probably; far as ive seen over the past couple of sales, theyve been doing well with this method
MM is amazeballs.
Slick, clean presentation.
Smart, friendly tutorial that gradually introduces concepts.
Great introduction to the Sports Management genre.
Just be sure to head to the Workshop and nab FIRE Mod 2017 and ICE Mod 2018 after you go through the game's Tutorial.
FIRE/ICE are overhaul mods that completely licence the game 1:1 to the real-world sport. 100% authentic teams, drivers, liveries, sponsors, parts suppliers, news/media outlets. The whole shebang. Each mod features different race series (F1, F2, Le Mans, Formula E, Super Formula, etc.) That's why it's broken out into two mods.
Incredible mods and an incredible labor of love.
Just remember it's not compatible with the Tutorial. Grab the mod at any time, but only uncheck it before giving the Tutorial a go.

Honest question: what exactly in this video is fun, what am I suppose to look at? Cuz all I see is running from one small room to another and clicking on enemy (90% of the time just the green slime that is barely animated) till they die. I already got the game but I just don't know how to enjoy it. Is it because I never played Diablo so I missed the PC ARPG train, or people are actually having fun just clicking on enemy?
If its already on sale, it won't go lower. However there are games that aren't on sale that will go on sale for a brief time during the sale. That's something to keep an eye out for.
Best option atm is to go to 'All Games' and filter them from there

This looks boring. I'm willing to give it a shot because I could refund it worse case scenario but...this isn't very appealing.
Anything less than 50% and you may as well just buy the game from CDKeys.
This is pure madness. It has ben already 2.5 hours and the store is still down. I really want to play some new games.......
Yep, this. You're just playing yourself if bite at bad discounts like 33% unless you just REALLY want it.
Considering the near constant string of deals on PC games, and the number of outlets (GMG, CDkeys, Fanatical, Voidu, Wingamestore, Gamergate, etc.) then unless you want to play the game *right now* 33% is in context generally a "bad deal".
The latter. Steam has so many users locked in to their ecosystem that they could probably only do one sale a year and still make big money.
I hate the fact that season passes during these sales never go on sale or it's cheaper to buy the game + season pass package than just season pass. So annoying.
From my experience neither GMG nor Fanatical have a reasonable refund policy, especially GMG.
It was either flash/dailies or refunds, publishers were unlikely to back both, on my part I prefer refunds.
As someone with a lot of casual (well more casual than me) friends that play on PC, you'd be amazed how many people buy from Steam and only from Steam. Going to Humble, Fanatical or similar might as well be trying to launch a space shuttle to them.
How's returns work on Steam again? Tempted to try out Borderlands 2 on my Macbook Pro but I'm concerned that the weak IGPU isn't up to snuff.
Nier: Automata is one of my favorite games of all time. You should get it, and the FAR mod.
Can anyone recommend A Hat in Time or is there another 3D platformer that is better? I miss Banjo Kazooie.
Well, they obviously scheduled the movie release according to the Steam summer sale. Geniuses!
I love Platinum and I've been following the game for a while, I was just hoping for some official PC support. Since the FAR mod does what I want and more, I'll probably be picking this one up.
I believe it's 100% refunds on less than two weeks since purchase, less than two hours played.
Wait, it isnt out in the US yet? Has been for a while in the UK
Xanadu Next is an action RPG with an emphasis on exploration and light puzzle solving. Early game you may want to level up a bit so that the first main dungeon doesn't overwhelm you but if you like Diablo-style gameplay and the exploration aspects of Legend of Zelda you may end up liking it.
Mind you, at the time Falcom were a generation behind every other developer when this game released, hence why it looks like a PSOne game :P
It's still a neat game and has a neat soundtrack
