Been considering The Messenger, West of Loathing and Katana Zero. I have far too many games and I don't play much thesedays so wanted something that I would definatley play.

Realised that for a quid I can access the MS Game Pass thingy which has The Messenger and West of Loathing included (amongst a whole load of stuff) so yeh.. Will play The Messenger and West of Loathing on that and possibly keep the subscription after a month and grab Katana Zero from Steam.

Ive got Far Cry on Steam & it works fine for me, running on Win 10 Pro ( 1809 ), 8350K @ 5GHz, 32Gb DDR4, Asus GTX1070, & X AE-5, every thing maxed out & hardware sound, no issues other than it needs modding as it hasn't aged well graphically speaking, which is no surprise given its 15 yrs old now.

Ah... Apparently (steam version) has a lot of complaints with Windows 7 64bit from what I was trying to troubleshoot from last night. It wont load, no errors, nothing in the event viewer, no fullscreen, nothing apart from it sends rundll32 into a hissy fit.

You're right though. Once I booted into Windows 10 1809, the game fired up to get to the in game menus. So glad now but I had never completed this game from the day it was released. Think I got up to the battleship up top or just after. Honestly cannot remember much of the game apart from the aimbots.

Still have it on DVD but didn't fancy raiding the storage for an optical drive.

I was thinking of a politician since they have more holidays than teachers but obviously not. What do you teach? @CaptainRAVE

I just went to see if I might buy this and then realised I already had it..... I have over 300 games in my library and many I haven't even started so I guess it makes sense

Im science as well! (not that surprising on a tech forum) How do you get such good holidays? Are you private?

how do you actually view the sale ?

Like others have commented the summer sale banner takes you to the grandprix

VoG · 29 Jun 2019 at 20:47

Don't click on the banner, just scroll down.

FoxEye · 30 Jun 2019 at 00:17

There's so much on Steam now that I really don't know how you're supposed to filter it all out. Just page after page after page of... stuff!

Discounts seem a bit underwhelming, being on average between 20 and 40 percent it looks like.

The days of 75-90% discounts really aren't coming back.

That seems to be just a handful of titles though

You do realise that not all of us can sit there with headphones and a mic on right? Some of us have families to consider.

You do realise that this game is probably not for you, and you probably shouldn't get it then, right?

picked up NBA 2k19 even though it has some terrible reviews! for £6 why not

hughtrimble · 30 Jun 2019 at 13:06

Missed Hell Let Loose in the steam sale, so bought it elsewhere also on offer.

What a cracking game it's shaping up to be. You really must be in a communicating squad to make it work though, and have a microphone and be willing to speak otherwise you will miss out.

Nate75 · 30 Jun 2019 at 13:38

if anyone is thinkng about getting The Messenger. Just get it. Such a playable game!

Kronos · 30 Jun 2019 at 15:29

Four games bought so far three refunds have been agreed, downloading Subnautica now, but overall there is no must have for this sale.

arc@css · 30 Jun 2019 at 15:43

Nothing all that much has caught my eye. I was considering Divinity 2 and the Gothic series, which I may swing towards purchasing.

azazl187 · 30 Jun 2019 at 17:22

Nothing caught my eye either so I just bought another DLC for Warhammer Total War 2. I almost have it all now
