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...

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....

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

I hope there's a reduction in price for games like Amid Evil or Dusk. I rarely buy early access titles, though I'm pretty sure I would enjoy those.

I have Dusk and if you are after a Quake 1 fix it delivers.

I'll just be looking at my wishlist for stuff to get if there's good offers.

Kinda hoping Factorio isn't on offer as I bought it 2 days ago

Pretty sure the Factorio guys said they will never put their game into sale as it's worth full price.

Just looking back at an earlier post.

I do wonder if these will come up...

Sale is up!

Well.. the games are, prices as ever will take a while to sort themselves out lol..

Nate75 · 21 Jun 2018 at 18:23

Wishlist prices are now working for me.

Nate75 · 21 Jun 2018 at 19:41

Wasn't high on the list but £7.49 for Edith Finch is tempting!

Celeste for me

Is this the reason my Steam client isn't loading?

Yep. Steam is getting hammered...

You think Doom will be cheaper than 50%??? Or worth just getting now?

The prices are static, it won't get any cheaper.

It's a couple of quid cheaper on CDKeys.

Anyone got any thoughts on Everspace?

Looks decent!

I am on the fence re this one as well. I have a flight stick and am wondering if it will be good for that etc...

Nate75 · 22 Jun 2018 at 12:20

Re the Steam hardware. Although it's not advertised on the GAME website...

Normally during Steam sales the discounted hardware is available at the same price at GAME stores which negates that rather large postage expense.

*edit* I don't think GAME are doing it this sale by the looks.

It's going to be a nightmare to hard wire from the router but I think I've got some of those net link plugs so I'll give that a try.

That's what I used and they worked a treat.

CaptainRAVE said:
They didn't work for me either, but there are better ones available now and I reckon that the wiring in our house is shocking, even though it is new.

For me it was the cheapest, oldest plugs that I had that gave the best results!

Quick question - If it's on sale now will it remain on sale throughout? Want to pick up SFV but want to wait till pay day.

Yeh the prices are static.

The daily's and flash deals were gotten rid of when refunds came in.

Somewhat interested in it now that they have removed the micro transactions crap, but not at that price. If I ever run out of things to play, may grab it. By then it will be a lot cheaper too

Right now I am considering getting:

Yakuza 0
Quantum Break
Salt and Sanctuary
Darkwood

Forgot about Darkwood... Cheapest price it's been as well according to Enhanced Steam. Might have to grab it

Cracking game that and the first new old school type game I've completed.

I'm being conservative too in my spending given the size my library has grown to over the past couple of years. Picked up The Void (£1.39) and Welcome to Hanwell (£2.32).

For all those considering Quantum Break - do it! It's worth suffering it's lacklustre performance for the story which brilliant. The best story told in gaming outside of the Bioshock trilogy for me.

Slain was awesome, really enjoyed that as well.
