Steam summer sale.

[zagibu]

In order to use paypal, even though I have money IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT from my checking account, I still HAVE TO have a debit or credit card attached to my account in case "you can't afford the transaction" or some dumb bullshit. I don't trust myself with plastic TBH, and I don't want it.

Strange, because I have been using it on steam for years without having a credit card. It only prompts me to register a card when i don't have enough money on the account.

Pretty meh so far. Only thing that even remotely interested me was Dark Souls, but even then, doubt the community is active enough to justify a purchase.

ug... Chivalry was the featured sale today, its like 6 or so bucks, so i figured fuck it.

Goddamn that game is crap.  Even spending 6 bucks feels like a waste.

It has potential. But it's far too shallow. Anyone who has played c-RPG or any Warband extensively will wreck shit on that game. I unlocked everything in like 2 days and felt no challenge or motivation to play after. Really sucks to, was so hyped for it. But hey, at least you only blew 6 bucks on it.

Yeah chivalry looked nice but played like a dog filled with cream cheese.

Brought stardrive yesterday as it is a 4x I've wanted to play for a while.  I'm guessing they're holding out for some good shit in the last few days.

[Overdriven]

I personally like Chivalry. It has a nice arcadey feel where crpg and warband can sometimes be a bit more serious. Probably because of the skill difference. Chivalry is a good hack and slash and personally if I have like 30mins-1 hour to spare I'd rather play that than crpg.

Bought:

× Surgeon Simulator
× McPixel
× Endless Space
× Strike Suit Infinity
× Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gold Edition
× You Need A Budget (thought I'd see what the fuss is about)

The only one I regret is Strike Suit Infinity.

I can 100% recommend FTL: Faster Than Light -- Really cool indie space-sim, came off Kickstarter with $200,542 pledged of an original just $10,000 goal.
It has great depth, had many hours of fun trying the various ships and systems you can level, working through the many hidden "quests". Still not done

FTL sells for a mere €2.49 at the moment.

Else I agree with Kafein, not many interesting things around. Pondered about buying the new Hitman when it was on flash sale but meh, I'd never get around to play it anyway.

Hitman is really nice. It was worth the 50€ at release imo, I already played about 30 hours. Of course Hitman: Blood Money was a far better deal as I played it for about 30 hours as well but paid less than 10€.

I picked up Borderlands 2 but I'll only play casually I guess. I'm not much into shooters.

I'm sure it is a great game, Danish studio behind it and all

[Radament]

Metro Last Light 29,99 Euro is a good deal for whoever didn't play this game.

It is, actually. Plenty of people are playing, even though they have to deal with GFWL. You missed out.

Picked up Kerbal Space Program today. Kind of interested in Remember Me, but not $30 interested. Arma 2 on sale. I wanted an Arma 3 sale!

[TheAppleSauceMan]

Well, I already own it for ps3, only reason I'd buy it is for PvP and I've heard some iffy things from people who play it on PC. Plus my gamepad is broken and I don't really wanna spend the money to get a new one just to play the game. But if it gets that cheap again I'll probably give in and buy it.

Think I'm gonna buy Borderlands 2. 10$ and it's pretty fun.

EDIT: Also, probably a good choice Gristle. Played a bit of Remember Me and it was pretty meh. Maybe for like 10$, 30$? Nah.

If by "iffy" you mean cheaters being able to ruin your character when they invade...then yes, that does happen on the PC version.  I own it on both the PS3 and the PC and I strongly recommend not buying it for the PC.  It looks nicer and it's moddable but the community is much worse.

[Lt_Anders]

I have bought:
Ys 1/2
Witcher 2
Eador
AOE 2(yup that's right)
Divinity 2
Endless space

Ruin your character? Never heard of that. It is easier to cheat on PC. You'll invade someone and they'll suddenly have infinite health. This is possible because GFWL is complete shit. Hopefully DS2 will have better anti-cheat stuff.
