Title: Steam Summer Sale 2015, Rumored to begin tomorrow 6/11. Lets discuss!
Post by: K-man on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, 08:47:42 AM
I love the Steam Sale.  It allows me to fill the gaps on games I never got around to getting.  More importantly, it allows me to take a chance on a game I wouldn't have otherwise purchased.  As lame as they are, the community events were fun and added to the experience.  Hopefully they will make their return this year.

All I want is a copy of Ascension for cheap.

I'll probably do the usual and pick up a few games I've never heard of or never thought of and then maybe play one and love it, ignoring the rest.

Fixed.

Valkyria Chronicles is very tempting, but I haven't decided yet.

Would be nice if Amazon DVG price-matched that price.
I've got Bing-made Amazon GC $ to blow.

My advice is to do it.   At that price you can't go wrong

I missed it.  I'll probably pick it up on the final day.  It's a little hard to justify buying any games when (a) I have a huge backlog, and (b) I play maybe 20 minutes a week.

Nothing.
There hasn't been anything of much worthwhile for me at my usual "I wait for 75% off or better to backlog" mantra.

I've only bought How To Survive: Storm Edition for $1.

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same boat.  I've THOUGHT about buying a lot but haven't gone through with any of it.  I mean, what's the point, I have Witcher 3 going on and Arkham Knight in the dock, anything else I buy I won't touch for at least a couple of months.

I found Steam sales used to be more enticing when I had a smaller digital catalog (obviously) and they had the little side games that went along with it. Now I just think about it more rationally.

Another whiff today.  Did not expect to be six days into the sale and nothing to show for it.

The Steam Sales & GOG Sales basically get weaker + weaker w/ every major sale.

The early morning flash sales finally got me. Grabbed Kentucky Route Zero and Dust:  An Elysian Tale.

not too keen on spending that much on KR0, but it's never gone lower than 50% off that I know of.

The way these Steam Sales + GOG Sales are going, my wallet's....not going to be hurting at all.

So far it's been Crimsonland, The Fall, and MGS Ground Zeroes. I've been tempted on some others but just can't afford it right now.

I have more games already than I will ever play, even just talking digital, let alone physical. Sales mean nothing to me anymore unless it's something I really want. It won't convince me to buy something I'm on the fence about.

This might be the first Steam sale where I just didn't buy anything at all.

Shovel Knight
Goat Simulator
Kentucky Route Zero
Fallout 3 GOTY
Dust:  An Elysian Tale



I'm usually good for 40-50 in a sale and feeling like I made out well. Spent 30 this year.  Got what I think are probably some good games but not for the prices I had hoped.

I grabbed Super Hexagon and the Rayman Bundle (Rayman Forever, Rayman 2, Rayman 3...already had Origins) from GOG. Nothing on Steam.
