Steam Summer Madness

Post by J4Numbers » 14 Jul 2012, 05:06

Welcome to Summer, a time of warm weather, sunshine, and free time.
(Please discount the above if you are British)

So with all that free time, it's probably safe to say that you're going to spend a fair amount of it gaming, and what better way to game, than with your friends via steam. Who have rolled out their Summer Madness deals for us all.
So here's the deal to this topic, you see a game which you think is too good to be true, and post it on here for the rest of us to profit.

Here's a real example.
Bethesda Skyrim - £23.32 (RRP - £34.99)
Bethesda Collection - (BRINK, BRINK: Doom®/Psycho Combo Pack, BRINK: Fallout®/SpecOps Combo Pack, BRINK: Agents of Change, Fallout: New Vegas, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge™, Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money, Fallout New Vegas: Honest Hearts, Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues , Fallout New Vegas®: Lonesome Road™, Fallout New Vegas®: Gun Runners’ Arsenal™, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , Fallout New Vegas®: Courier’s Stash™) - £39.99 (RRP - £124.37)

So, if you see a game with a price that is an amazing bargain, post it on here, and to make sure that people see the change, it would help if you put the RRP in too.

Have fun.

General rules for any steam sale:
  • Never buy anything unless it's part of a daily deal (unless it's the last day of the sale). Games that are 33%-50% off will often get reduced further if they end up as part of a daily deal. (ARMA II & Skyrim are good examples of games I'd hold off on)
  • Developer pack deals are great value, but expect to get a lot of old or mediocre games padded between the hits.
  • Try not to go overboard, it's easy to buy more games than you have time to actually play.
My favorite deal so far was 75% off Terraria. Even though I already own the game I picked up 2 gift copies for use in attracting more co-op partners.

For today:
Payday: The Heist - £3.74 (RRP £14.99)
The binding of Isaac - £0.99 (RRP £3.99)

I almost pissed my pants at that Bethesda Pack sale.

For you 'mericans like myself, that's $49.99 - $10 less than Skyrim's RRP, for 13 items (9 of which are [fairly sizable, for the most part] DLC).

Borderlands GOTY $7.50. Do want but I'm broke D: Dead Island is also on $10 which is a nice discount off $50 so that's worth getting but I've already bought it.

Well I've just been owned... I wanted Krater, so i looked up weather or not it has been one of the daily deals or not yet. Some forum I found says that it had been, so I said "crap, guess I missed it. It's still cheap so I'll buy it now."
And now it's a daily deal and it's half the price I payed for it 2 days ago... damnit

This needs no explanation
Bastion is on sale for £2.86 rather than £11.49.
GO GET IT

Also, there is now a double fine bundle, containing Psychonauts, Costume Quest, And Stacking.
I know the first is an amazing game, and being double fine, I'm sure the other 2 are as well.
On sale for £5.74
RRP - £22.99
