ofc u can DL it whenever - its on offer until tomorrow

Thanks, bought it and paused Just Cause 2. I have already played Bad Company 2 a lot on 360, but it will be nice to use mouse and keyboard.

You are aware its almost certainly going to be on offer for less than that?

It's £15 normally so will probably hit £5.10 or even £3.75.

Seriously, I can't understand people who go mad in the sale and buy tons of slightly discounted games instead of waiting for the proper deals.

I feel bad telling people the harsh truth cause i've been in their siuation before

. The only game I've bought that's discounted less than 75% is the GTA complete pack since I doubt it'll go lower than 9.99 (I paid 13.99) and cba downloading all those games at a later date with Steam DLs going as slow as a snail.

GTA Classics were on sale a few times for £4.99 and GTA IV Complete was going for around £6.25 so you probably made a right choice.

Yeah, the classics are on sales for 4.24 right now. Don't really care about a couple of quid if it means I have them quicker.

I bought Scratches too....looks an interesting Horror/Adventure game and not enough of them as it is.

Some websites gave it good reviews, can't go wrong i guess at £3.99.

Scratches is very good. Definitely worth grabbing it at £3.99.

Make sure you play it in the dark, with headphones on. One particular part involving a mask almost made me shriek like a little girl.

The ending sequence, too, is shudder-inducingly good.

Already got that and Crossworlds.

woohoo

I'm going to be playing that again tonight

Pixel · 2 Jul 2011 at 01:34

I bought Recettear (£3.25) and X3: Terran Conflict (£9.99) last night, I didn't buy the X Superbox because I already have hard copies of X2 and X3:R, and I can't be bothered playing the first one.

I don't think much of this "Camp Activities" ticket thing though, I don't like extra content being released for games that I can only get if I do some arse-backwards thing like take part in a competition, or pre-order the game. When I buy a game, I want the full thing, so imagine my disappointment when I saw an X3 prize there that offers a new mission and sector.

Needless to say I won't be buying a game just to get an achievement in it so I can get some tickets to get this extra content for X3, very annoying.

BEST DEAL SO FAR:

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7930/

Includes Portal 2 and LFD2

£25 for the ENTIRE valve collection! Absolutely mad.

aceface57 · 2 Jul 2011 at 01:59

Epic deal, except for...

You already own the following items in "Valve Complete Pack". You will not receive extra copies of these items when you complete this purchase:

Half-Life 2
Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Source Beta
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Portal
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Team Fortress 2
Left 4 Dead 2

I thought Valve always gave extra copies of their keys if you have duplicates?

It as scarey as Amnesia?(which i didn't find hugely scarey but was probably scariest game i've played in a while

)

Might get Lost Souls if it goes cheap too which seems similar to Scratches.

Bought KOTOR and The force unleashed 2 from todays deals. Been after both for some time now and the prices are right finally

Getting REALLY annoyed with the sheer amount of patches being downloaded for games though due to the summer achievement content, plus game developers releasing content/bug fix patches for their games also. Downloaded 4gb in just patches today :s

Bang on. It's a fantastic bundle but I'm sure a lot of Steam users have already picked up quite a few of those titles. If not, grab them now.

IIDeathCubeKII · 2 Jul 2011 at 02:53

Full list of deals here > http://www.steamgamesales.com/

So far I have:

Lead & Gold
Just Cause 2
Wings of Prey
Bad Company 2 (Direct2drive)

ojste · 2 Jul 2011 at 03:00

picked up braid for £1.74, what a steal

Nelly · 2 Jul 2011 at 04:33

Missed yesterdays deals, grabbed a few 75% deals today.

ALL DLC: Just Cause 2
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Empire at War Gold Pack
Star Wars Battlefront® II

Looking forward to the next set of 75% deals.

robin66 · 2 Jul 2011 at 05:38

Got my eyes on a couple of games in the sales, but not spent anything on the daily deals of yet.

Most of the daily deals I already have, or the price isn't worth the spend so far. So my bank balance is still intact.

Nelly · 2 Jul 2011 at 05:45

Does anyone reckon Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II will do any better than 50% off?

I woudn't mind getting Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition as well but may wait till the discount is better than 33%

You hate free content for games? Some people are hard to please round here.

Most of the rewards that are missions or maps will be available as paid content later if you refuse to participate in the activities, and are you really that fussed about a pair of sunglasses for TF2?

Frankly I dont mind spending 15 minutes doing ridiculously easy tasks for free content.

As for the Valve pack being good value. A load of us got the whole thing free for "bending over" and doing their challenges at the Portal 2 release. Much better value.
