Steam Sale

[Revolver]

I fully expect a summer sale soon when just about everything wil be on sale along with daily deals. However, there is for now LA Noire available for £4.99 or £6.24 with the DLC included. I know it's supposed to have it's flaws but for a fiver I think it'll be worth a pop.

Also, Tribes: Ascend is now live on steam. I was going to download it before and give it a go but decided to wait for steam. There is a starter pack that is half price at £7.50 (until 4th July) which includes some weapon/class unlocks and about £6/£7 of in game credit. I think I'll give it a go over the weekend then decide if I want to invest in another "free to play" game. The original tribes were pretty fantastic though. The best of which Tribes: Vengeance I never did play. Go figure. It could be a good distraction before Planetside 2 comes along anyway.

Hate Steam sales. Always buy games that I never play. Need to avoid Steam store as much as possible.

[skeletor]

Well sales have started and have only bought a few indie games and Ghost Recon 2 which I probably won't play...fucking sales.

[skeletor]

Still waiting for ARMA2 to go on sale (for more than 20%). Going to be away most of the weekend though and it will probably end up being a daily deal and I'll miss it. Only want to play DayZ and a few other mods.

Didn't even realise they had started. I'm not so sure Arma will go on sale for a while. Around xmas time the whole arma package was on sale for about £10. Really wish I had bought it now.

Day Z actually looks good fun but I tihnk it is something that need's to be played with friends.

Just noticed, anyone who hasn't played Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic it is £1.74 definitely one of the greatest RPG's I played.

Bloody Nora, it's started. Metro 2033 and Crysis for £3.75 and £2.99 is what I'll end up buying when home tonight. I ordered Skyrim from amazon last week for £19.50 (hoping to transfer save from Xbox) and that's now £17.50 on steam lol.

Sale has been going for a 5-6 days I think.

I bought Tribes and I was shit at it.
Sideways won't run, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 was too slow and the AI was shit, The Binding Of Isaac is actually not a bad indie game but again, I am shit at it.
Also bought Trine 2 but haven't played it yet.

Crysis pack is £9.99 today.

The Bethesda pack is a good deal. Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas (inc DLC) for just £31 (both games separately are £17 each) - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/15263/

Whole Valve catalog is only £25

My wallet hates Valve.

...so does your harddisk space

[skeletor]

Still got 550GB of space on that drive.

I have a drive dedicated to Steam. When it eventually fails I am going to cry. Will take ages to download it all again. Well in theory it should only take 20 hours but I would get throttled by Virgin after a few GB which means it would then take around 1000 hours.

[liquid]

Ah then there is still enough space for CS:GO (just)

That is a big disadvantage of buying games online. Also pretty lame that you get throttled by your ISP.
Put your Steam drive in raid 10 to be sure it won't fail

[skeletor]

Knowing my luck there would be an electrical fire and I would lose all the drives.
