STEAM SUMMER SALE! Discussion + What are you buying?

[bl4yze]

So the Steam summer sale has started! I think it'd be cool to list what everyone is buying, especially multiplayer games. I'm still deciding what to buy for today and yesterday's sales.

Bought Xcom enemy unknown for 10 dollars, and soon it will be more.

[RaZ Vader]

I want Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and some other stuff to go on sale.

Dishonored is really fun. You will enjoy it. I played FarCry3 on the 360. Also very enjoyable. Can't go wrong with either one.

[Fiery Grave]

im with blackhawk...
but also bought BDL2 DLC Just cause 1&2, open universe, I AM ALIVE, And tomb raider (12 $ was too good to pass up, despite me probably not being able to play it at too great quality)

[Blackhawk570]

Dishonored is $10.19 on steam! I will be getting it tomorrow though because that is when I get my paycheck :)

[Deathhawk]

You never played Fallout 3? Say goodbye to your social life for a few months than...

[RaZ Vader]

Fallout 3 is by far the best of the series. All of the DLC is spot on as well. I did everything in that game, and I still love to go back and play it. Need time to go by before the next gen consoles? Yeah.. that game will keep you busy until that day comes.

[bl4yze]

Fuck Steaming pile of poo
let me guess you're a Games for Windows Live fan, lol.

[Silko]

Nope just fuck steam.

[bl4yze]

Nope just fuck steam.

good points you raised there

[Silko]

good points you raised there

lol, I am not a fan of a system where despite the fact that I bought the game I still have to go online and go through a 3rd party system to play this game. This is different to me atleast then the whole Xbox One system. You are playing a Xbox game on a xbox so they can get away with that type of bullshit. Steam however is not a operating system, it is just a market for cheap games. If I download a game and pay with my money for that game I should not have to go through your system which can go down at any moment along with my own internet. It is like the Netflix issue with xbox. Does that mean I stop using Netflix on my xbox? No because I pay for xbox live for the sake of playing games and to me netflix is a bonus. That is why I don't like steam

imo the benefits greatly outweigh the glitchy offline mode, I've just never had an issue with having to be online to play any of my games, likely because im not on a laptop. but a lot of my games can be played without steam anyways.

[Fiery Grave]

Yep just go into the system directory and launch the exe's... works for most games... maybe some games might not be able to but i haven't run into one... And i have never had a problem with offline mode either...

[Maxdoggy]

Just picked up XCOM: Enemy Unknown and two DLC's for like $12 yesterday. Pro.

Update: Got Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition yesterday and Skyrim Legendary Edition today. I think I am done. The rest of the games on my Wishlist can be bought without sale and I wouldn't mind doing so.
