Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 So it's only been an hour and a half and people are already calling this the WORST. SALE. EVER. because everything isn't instantly 75% off and supposedly they can get better deals elsewhere. Meanwhile I'm stuck with this useless paper money and I can't buy anything.
Adam Jensen Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Dunno about you guys, but I voted for BL2 at 10 bucks. I know some of my friends would love to get their hands on that game.
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 I voted for Borderlands 2 because it was the middle option. Not like I'm gonna buy the three games currently being voted for, so I just picked the middle. Because it was in the middle.
Ark of Truth Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Just let them complain, Steam can only give the discounts the publishers say they can give. Most publishers keep prices up until Christmas as Christmas is more popular for sales. Come on the sale has only just started so how can it be the worst one?
gregathit Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 The normal sales are .....ok. It is the flash sales that you need to keep your eyes on. That is generally where the real savings are going to be found.
tattooedillusions Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Voted BL2 myself. Anyone else having store overload errors fairly frequently or is it just me?
Ark of Truth Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Voted BL2 myself. Anyone else having store overload errors fairly frequently or is it just me? Yep, happens with every summer and Christmas sale.
tattooedillusions Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 That's what I thought. I didn't remember it being this bad last year or even during the christmas sale but then again my memory isn't what it used to be ha ha. Thanks for confirming that I'm not totally going insane yet Ark.
Adam Jensen Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 It wouldn't be a good steam summer sale without a good amount of crashing !
Ark of Truth Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Well it's not crashing. It's just denying your connection access to the store page.
Astaroth-Lite Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Every year, every year. "I don't have a credit card." And then the little discount tags mock me.
Ark of Truth Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 You guys do know debit and credit cards are to different things right? Well I know over here in the UK they are. Debit - Is your money which you don't have to pay back. Credit - You borrow it from the bank but must pay it back
Adam Jensen Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Well it's not crashing. It's just denying your connection access to the store page. You get the point >.>!!!!
RitualClarity Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Ok I am not getting any games right now however I read some the post and it seems that BL2 is the choice for this round so I voted for it as well. .. Maybe someone might get some use out of this sale... BL2 is an awesome game. I already own it. (For Free!!! given with a computer upgrade...)
RitualClarity Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Ah ... This reminds me of Christmas. Ah the joys of waiting hours to look at what they have to offer... Good that I don't want anything anyway. No sooner than I clicked on Vote .. bam no service.
Ghost Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I don't want to know how much profit they are doing right now..... Must buy some games..... can't..... resist....
windpl Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I don't want to know how much profit they are doing right now..... Must buy some games..... can't..... resist.... 30% from sale. For reference, retail sell 80%/2 publisher/shop income.
Nonsense667 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 BORDERLANDS 2 ALL DLC AND EVERYTHING 66% OFF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nicvyhrmTDs I'M COMING HOME BABY (Now I just need to figure out what all to buy to get everything. With the season pass and all that. >.>) Edit: though I managed to be frugal and not buy the additional cosmetics, or the slaughterdome. Just the Season pass and two characters. that's $11.30 that can be spent on something else, hah.
Strelky Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I usually have the epic luck of spending $400 on games then seeing almost every one pop up in a sale, namely: -Dishonored -Metro: Last Light -Saints Row: The Third -Borderlands 2 -Left 4 Dead 2 -The entire Bioshock series -Team Fortress 2 Maybe I'm just stupid, or I forget within six months that they have sales , anyway I'm excited to see what else there is
Dude500X Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 not a big deal of a sale to me, I spent the last of my money on Pokemon though (series 1 to 9) instead of games this year. I did get Brave New World though, so I am happy about that.

I check it occasionally especially during holidays and such. When it hits the price I get it. I usually have some money saved up just for that purpose. It took me a long time to get Skyrim... however Steam did piss me off after Christmas when they dropped the price even more... Dam you Steam.
Astaroth-Lite Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 More people need to be buying this game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/222750/ Seriously, it is so good, and it's half-off!

Well, I've been on the fence on purchasing it ever since it came out, hah. I'm attempting buy as few games as possible during the sale. Just what I really want/am interested in. So far: Don't Starve, Sleeping Dogs, and Borderlands 2. I might just use your post as the last little nudge to go ahead and grab it. (Though I was leaning toward that anyways. ) Edit: Oh yeah, good "guideline" I've found for the Steam Sale. Focus on your wishlist. If it's on your list, feel free to think about buying it. If it's not, think twice. At least that's what I'm doing.
