Steam Summer Sale 2016 set for 23rd June for two weeks

[Mark A]

come on help me out only got enough cash for either rise of the tomb raider or Doom i can't make my mind up I love and have completed all the games from their respective series. just keep seeing reviews saying doom seems a bit like a arena based deathmatch with no real walking about flicking switches etc etc

Doom is very linear, just generic corridors connecting small arenas with easy to find colour coded key cards. Very little in the way of atmosphere, story or characters etc. Its basically just fun combat with a demony theme. The combat is great and the weapons and weapon mods are all a lot of fun, but it got a little tedious towards the end for me as the combat does get repetitive. I'm very much in the minority though and as you will see by the steam reviews and peoples scores on here its a 9/10+ for most people.

Doom or Tomb raider

ive played TR on PC and Xbone and Doom On Xbone (unless Pc version is Better) in my honest opinon the more Enjoyable game is Tomb Raider

 

[ic1male]

I'd go for Tomb Raider too.

 

[Robzere31]

Brutal Ledged for £1.09, would be rude not to bag it

Played it to death on the 360 years ago, fabulous soundtrack & so many comedy moments

 

[Spuj]

Picked up Project Zomboid to play co-op with one of my friends, will see how it goes but i've had my eye on it for a while now.

Wondering the same myself, I played the demo/first 10 mins of RotTR on XB1, and tried the Doom demo last night on PC. Doom is mental! TR is a little more sedate lol.

Tempted by all the Civ 5 addons! Only have the base game but never really had a proper go at it but i know its said to be very addictive

Need to get over the learning curve!

Victor Vran is a nice price, it is Diablo Souls.

Thanks for that mate, got it last night and I'm really enjoying it.

 

[Craig R]

Tempted myself to pick that golf game up also, does it look nice ?

Nice enough graphics, not mindblowing.

The gameplay is spot on though. It's very 'feel' based, so you need to practice before getting decent at it. I've racked up about 260 hours so far.

 

[marcus2704]

Picked up Subnautica which looks like a lovely game but no 360 controller support so had to get it refunded. As soon as there is support, Ill be all over this one.

 

[dottty27]

Got my lad some raceing games for his soon to be steam account

Unless you plan to play the highest difficulties, there isn't much you need to learn in Civ 5. It's quite friendly really.

It's when you play the hardest settings that you really need to min max, otherwise you get rolled.

 

[TheMadHatter]

So have I got this right if you buy a steam game and don't like it you can get a refund for it ??

Spooky. I was just reading about that. You have to do it within two weeks of purchase and played for <2 hours.

[Cromulent]

Couldn't resist buying some more games. So I got these as well .

Sengoku (looks like a cheap knock off of Crusader Kings 2 which I also own and enjoy)
Prison Architect (heard a lot of good things about this game)
Shellshock Live (looks like a fun indie game)
Startopia (don't really know much about this but it caught my eye)
Windward (this looks like a pretty cool game)
From the Depths (this looks absolutely amazing)
Universe Sandbox 2 (I love games like this)
The Last Leviathan (looks like Besiege for the water which sounds awesome)

I think that'll be the limit of my spending this sale though. I really can't afford to spend any more at the moment.

 

[Mr_Moose]

I think they're pretty average. Much better games out there imo.

I thought it was decent but not even close to being on DR1 and 2's level. The main protagonist is a whiny douche at times, doesn't hold a candle to Frank West or even Chuck.

I did like the vehicle customisation but driving around the city is painful because there's road blocks everywhere, you have to always open up the map to find the best route.

Worth a try at the sale price though.

Cheers for the input, decided to say what the hell and just go for it anyway.

Ended up with DR3 and Ark

Interested in an opinion for this actually. Does look like a bit of fun.

 

[mark43]

I get at least 2 packs a month at level 35.

You can receive a pack for any game where you've received all the available card drops already, I assume the more games you've done that for the more chance you have of receiving a pack.

I guess maybe that explains why I'm getting less then, I'm the same level but have a lot less games eligible. Odd though, I only have 42 eligible, not sure how I've made it to the same level having completed so many less.

 

[Digital X]

Bought IL 2 Sturmovik, Battle of Stalingrad. That's my last purchase this sale at £16 odd..
