Summer Sales Starts. - Games

It's obvious Walking Dead is gonna win, seeing as how many people love that game.

When is the summer sale over? 22nd?

Will Civ 5 go back to 75% again? I missed out on that community vote when I kept getting the error "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." while purchasing.

Are Secret World or Defiance any good?

I hope that Thief games would go on sale, I love sneaking type of games and I've heard that this franchise is really good. Current price ain't bad either but the thought of -75% or -90% sale is haunting me.

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;41490954]Are Secret World or Defiance any good?[/QUOTE] I'm liking secret world right now, story is pretty good at sometimes.

Stuck between two games, Alan Wake or Sleeping Dogs? I don't have enough for both unfortunately.

Van Helsing looks really neat for a Diablo clone, has anyone played it yet?

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;41490954]Are Secret World or Defiance any good?[/QUOTE] The secret world is pretty good, if you want an mmo that has quests more than just "go here and kill 5 mobs", get it - some of them get really involved and actually require you to do research and stuff outside of the game. Defiance is borderlands: the mmo.

I was interested in getting The Secret World until I saw it needed 30 GB of space. If it really is worth it then I'll make room but until then I've got a lot of other games I'd rather keep isntalled, and HD space is at a premium right now.

After buying a game I keep telling myself this is the last one I'm buying and then a great flash deal or a game I really want gets a 75% discount...Help me

[QUOTE=Xylem;41491376]Stuck between two games, Alan Wake or Sleeping Dogs? I don't have enough for both unfortunately.[/QUOTE] Deff get Alan Wake, for only 4 dollars you get 2 games and collectors edition extras. It has an amazing story to it. Also the secret world may say it needs 30 gigs, but when I downloaded it off steam it said 18.3, then 1.35 more after starting it up for the first time.

God damn it I missed out on Civ 5 again.

What games have the most expensive cards?

Not sure though, might pick up some cheaper games i.e. Torchlight 2, Mark of the Ninja, and maybe Surgeon Simulator instead. Is Defiance very similar to Borderlands or is it a bit worse?

How do you people spend so much? Just think, if you're not going to play it any time soon since you've got a backlog of so many games then you might get it even cheaper in next years sale. I've only bought a few things so far, games I'm going to play in the near future.

I said this last year too, and the year before...my channel remains almost exclusively Minecraft :(

I play every game I buy, at least for a little bit. To me the sales are the chance to buy the DLC that I want and try new games, if I don't like them, then I didn't spend too much on them and it's okay.

So long story short i'm visiting my family abroad and only had access to like 7.50 on paypal, and bought GTA 4 with it. So is there anything I can get with the 2.50 i have left? I've already missed New Vegas. Thanks in advance

[QUOTE=cccino;41488109]Wargame: European Escalation worth it for $5? How's the solo campaign?[/QUOTE] I had a great time with the campaign in EE. ALB is a different story for campaign, but I would recommend the campaign portion of EE for 5 dollars.

I just need a handful more cards before I can afford a 2.50 game. If people are just sitting on theirs and can't see the point of them, I wouldn't mind grabbing a few so I can get an extra 2.50 game out of this.

Would be a shame if they only have GTA IV on offer, when the past two years they've had the entire GTA collection for £5.

Is Dark Souls worth it? Also before any of you buy GTAIV, buy the GTA complete pack instead and you'll get all of them plus IV and the DLC for the exact same price (in Europe at least)

Well then I'll wait and see what the flash sales will be.

Joint Operations Typhoon Rising and Escalation should go on sale so i can co-op

I have to stay up until 2am if I don't want to miss a sale because I [I]know[/I] that the game that comes while I'm asleep will be the one I want.

Should I get Defiance for 13.50 or should I wait for it to drop even lower next year?
