Steam Summer Sale 2011

Is it just me or does this Steam sale seem pretty mediocre compared to previous ones?

No its not, everyone just feels the need to complain about the sales and how they don't all contain games at 95% off or heavily discounted AAA titles released a few months ago.
 
Nothing again for me today, although to be honest I've got enough updates to be downloading and I'm enjoying Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Hasn't been in the sale but it's cheap) too much to care at the moment.

Could do with saving some money to buy some new computer parts really :p
 
rubbish sale so far tbh, mw2 should be a fiver. assassins creed should be around that price too and wheres the mass effect games?

Does not compute.

Why would you spend a fiver on MW2 when you could get Deus Ex and then pick two great indie games to compliment it for the same price.

Provided that you have interests in games other than the "AAA" generic blockbusters. It's been a superb sale.

The sales are only mediocre if you already own the games, so pretty much each sale is going to be worse than the last. Been some great deals on games like Torchlight, Defence Grid, Trine.....thing is by now a large percentage of us will have them.
 
Just treated myself to Wings Of Prey+Wings of the Luftwaffe for £4.50 since they have removed the drm.
I wanted to buy it in the Christmas sale but it had activation limits.
 
My haul for the day:

You now own Wings of Luftwaffe, AI War: Fleet Command, AI War: The Zenith Remnant, AI War: Children of Neinzul, AI War: Light of the Spire, Beat Hazard, Beat Hazard - iTunes unlock, Beat Hazard - Ultra, Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - Discount Check, Wings of Prey, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Ownership Check.

I really dont fancy getting into another mmo after I let wow take up so much of my free time :P, guild wars looks good but the second one is just around the corner... I think. The rest I have or dont care about.

 
I mentioned to my mate I was holding out for Fallout 3 and he said that STALKER was on sale today and they are very similar, is this true? I have never really looked into STALKER and I have never heard the comparison before.
 
Just deus ex today, a lot of people seem to think its a good game, and for less than a pint im sure i can have a look at it :)

Must have only spent about £20 so far...a lot less than i thought i would have by now :p
 
surprised to see shift 2 on there. I thought EA games were pulled? Will wait for the xmas sales for it though ;)
 
Your seriously missing out, stick some quality mods to STALKER and its one of the best games out there....

LURK is a mod that comes to mind btw....http://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/mods

Anyone want to back me up here on how great stalker is :p

It was more that the first bit of gameplay I saw, a guy was having to try and kill invisible enemies that only became properly visible when killed. Certain things in games kind of put me off and that is one of them :/

I don't think I am really a gamer to be honest, very few games really draw me in and make me enjoy them. Over the years the only games that have really pulled me in have been pokemon and runescape when I was a bit younger and then more recently Call of Duty. I'm stuck in a transitional period at the moment though and looking for a game that I can really enjoy again. Was hoping it would be Fallout but who knows.
 
Bought Assassins Creed 2 and played it for the first time tonight.

What a pile of ****! How did any reviewer manage to play through the first hour of the game without quiting is beyond me?

What a waste of £5 and bandwidth.

Most people on here enjoyed Assasin's Creed 2 here. I know i did.

Exactly what is wrong with the game?
