Steam Summer Sale 2018

Nate75 · 20 Jun 2018 at 08:43

This year's summer sale I believe is Thursday 6pm (which will explain why no weekly this week).

Yes I know they are as not as good as they used to be...

But still, I normally pick up a few titles and you will find a few titles that are cheaper in the sale than the grey market (not many but a few!).

Normally I grab 1 AAA title and a handful of indie games that I either had on the wishlist, or didn't know about until the sale

Let's see what this one brings.

Wait, sale already? Certainly 1 or 2 titles I wouldn't mind picking up for over the summer.

Yeh I am thinking of getting Assassin's Creed Origins as the AAA title. Pretty sure you rated this one...

CaptainRAVE · 20 Jun 2018 at 09:20

Yup, I really enjoyed Origins. At least with Steam you can give it a try and refund it if you don't get a feel for it. Surely there will be decent reductions coming up on Origins given that another title is on the way.

I think Ubisoft are doing Origins for 24.99 today as a one day special

Yup, just checked, for today only Ubisoft are doing Origins for 24.99 on Uplay, I doubt it will be as cheap as 24.99 if its in the steam sale.

The Assassin's Creed games tend to be the only game I buy in the summer sales these days

If I can get Far Cry 4, Firewatch and 2 others for under £20 I'll be happy.

Spacedeck · 20 Jun 2018 at 10:28

I'm sort of hoping for a decent discount on TT Isle of Man. Other than that I'll pick up two DLC for Tabletop Simulator providing they are on sale and see if anything decent makes an historic low.

There are three top games I want at the moment - Dying Light, Hitman GotY and GTA V. But I've literally not got a penny spare as I spent a ton in the recent Green Man Gaming birthday sale. Will probably wait until the Christmas sale instead.

Although I am going to splurge 20 notes on Domino's pizza in a minute. Wrong priorities?

Dominos first yes yes, Dying Light second. Forget the rest.

AC: Origins Cry Witcher is taking up all my time at the moment (65hrs and counting!) so the only title I'd like on Steam would be Fire Pro Wrestling World I would guess.

I am just reaching the end of Dying Light as it happens. I decided to see a game through!

It is really good. But then so is pizza lol....

Have you got the DLC expansion? I am yet to complete it. I think it will be my next go to game. Dying Light was certainly one of my more memorable gaming experiences.

Currently Fanatical have it for £23.99

Also, as a Uplay game I don't think I'd go the Steam route necessarily as all Steam does is open up Uplay and run it from there. Would probably rather just use the single client, although obviously that divides your libraries (Origin, Uplay and the ubiquitous Steam).

Well, I should have forgone the pizza and got Dying Light instead. It was a bit naff. Way too much tomato sauce. But the chicken wings were scrumptious!

With a bit of luck, I'll have my new rig in the next month or so. So I'm hoping for decent discounts on any recent AAA titles that will show off the new beast's capabilities.

CaptainRAVE · 20 Jun 2018 at 14:16

Warhammer 2 and Shadow of War are also on my list.

MikeTheNative · 20 Jun 2018 at 14:17

I don't really buy much in the sales anymore to be honest. I have so much I already have never played I don't need to add more to it, perhaps if a game I really want comes up.

Nate75 · 20 Jun 2018 at 14:38

I fancy grabbing these if they come up but I must complete Dying Light!

Tempted by a few things tbh, mainly Ark, Conan exiles and dark souls 3 DLCs. May pick up gang beasts as well if it goes low enough as it looks like a blast but I know I won’t be a massive time sink.
