Steam Summer Sale 2016 - Games

[QUOTE=gufu;50640087]Any good strategy games out on sale? TBS or RTS?[/QUOTE] RA3 is great forever. Total War Shogun 2 is still holding up pretty strong. [QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;50639476]SteamWorld Heist! And Shadowrun Returns games, too, if you're into turn based combat.[/QUOTE] I finished my Shadowrun collection thank

Bought Dead By Daylight and I don't really enjoy it even from a gameplay perspective. There's little to no options on how you want your game to look and the killer's vision being set into such a small area is disgusting.

Is Bioshock 2 anywhere near as good as 1? I've heard the dlc is good but what about just the plain old game?

I'm told it's even better but I never got around to playing it because last time I played it GFWL kept fucking me. They since removed it, though.

[QUOTE=Sharker;50641857]Is Bioshock 2 anywhere near as good as 1? I've heard the dlc is good but what about just the plain old game?[/QUOTE] Fun stuff. Similar to the first in a lot of ways, except you don't feel like a stranger moving through a mysterious new land. On the plus side, you've got a massive drill on your arm.

[QUOTE=Sharker;50641857]Is Bioshock 2 anywhere near as good as 1? I've heard the dlc is good but what about just the plain old game?[/QUOTE] The plots only so so compared to the first but the gameplay is leagues (heh) better since you have one hand for plasmids one for weapons.

This sale I gifted someone a game and that was it. It helps to recognize that I never play all the cheap games that seem like a good idea. I'm going to get FO4, Witcher 3 and the new Tomb Raider game when the GOTY editions (read: "I'm not going to pay for the DLC separately" editions) come out. Discounted. :v:

still haven't bought anything for myself

Games I bought: Bioshock 2 Jazzpunk Shadow of Mordor Alice Madness Returns I also bought two copies of WWE 2k16 for my friends and I to play.

[QUOTE=PrivRyan;50641632]RA3 is great forever. Total War Shogun 2 is still holding up pretty strong. [/QUOTE] I own RA3+Uprising, but in all honesty, TW games could not hold my attention for long.

[QUOTE=GeeNoVoid;50641451]Is there anything good I can get at the last second for 3 dollars?[/QUOTE] Eh, not much really.

Well I didn't buy much. Far as I can tell I bought the Skyrim DLC, the two Trails in the Sky games, Dragon Ball Xenoverse DLC, and Armored Gunhound EX which I refunded for being an awful PC port. My first refund ever, too; i'm just not going to accept a port of a 2D PSP action platformer that [i]has the screen black out without freezing the game when Steam friends notifications pop up.[/i]

I bought Civ V, I've been playing Civ IV forever and I figured if I didn't make a move now I never will. I bought the Xcom Unknown/Enemy Within pack, since I loved the original Xcom and never played the new one. I want to buy one last game, under $20, preferably action, preferably first person. Choices I've looked at are Max Payne 3 but got turned off of it because there's a lot of cut scenes from what I can tell. Tomb Raider 2013, cause I like Tomb Raider games. Rise of Nations, because that's my favorite RTS of all time and I lost my discs. Finally, Subnautica. This is a crafting/survival game, of the Minecraft type, and I generally don't like those kinds of games. However, I looked at a Youtube video of this and I think it's fantastic looking. Even if the gameplay sucked I think I'd get more than $11 of value out of it. What say you?

There are cutscenes but I don't remember being too annoyed by them. People say TR2013 is bad because it's "an Uncharted ripoff" or whatever. I really enjoyed the gameplay, and I really liked Lara's character arc, however her voice actress kinda sounds like she hasn't slept in three days and is trying to hold in a huge fart - laboured yet careful. Anyways, I'd definitely recommend the game.

You'd also have seen half of the cutscene by the time the game allows you to skip it.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IA1eJvQ.png[/IMG] Also got a copy of Half-Life 1 for my buddy.

Thanks for the comments on the games I mentioned. I'm going with Tomb Raider, although I might also add Subnautica at the last second, depends on if I can resist the call of the ocean.

My haul: Metro Redux Bundle Dishonored Bioshock Bioshock 2 Hacknet Dead Space 2 3x Endless Legend DLC (for a friend) Halo: Spartan Strike (for a friend) Bad Rats (for a friend) Would have bought Shadow of Mordor if I had realized GOTY edition was $10. I think I did pretty well though.

hey contagion is on sale . is it worth the $2.47 to buy it

[QUOTE=Element45;50643316]hey contagion is on sale . is it worth the $2.47 to buy it[/QUOTE] Yeah. I bought it for about 5$ dollars on another sale, and it was pretty fun. There should still be a few active servers.

I guess I'll try asking here. I have a friend in Turkey and as you can see I am in Czech Republic, am I going to have a problem gifting games to him? SteamDB says this: Cross region trading and gifting is disabled for this item. Is Turkey one of those states I trade with?

Was going to sell the cards i have, I've never used the mobile authentication before so they'll be held for 15 days. I guess that means these 20 or so cards are just going to disappear because of that, which is very annoying.

At least you'll get something out of 'em then.

[QUOTE=RTB;50643575]Convert those all to Gems before it's too late! At least you'll get something out of 'em then.[/QUOTE] I might have to, one of them was a foil as well which makes it worse. I'm assuming if i try to trade them with a friend there will still be a delay?

Just grabbed myself Dragon's Dogma, Danganronpa 1+2 and Vampire: The Masquerade. It's not much, but I'm pretty happy with what I got since I love the Danganronpa series and I've heard really great things about both Dragon's Dogma and Vampire: The Masquerade. I've still got some money to spend though, so any games I should buy for say, under 10 bucks? I'm open for any suggestions.

[QUOTE=nightlord;50643583]I might have to, one of them was a foil as well which makes it worse. I'm assuming if i try to trade them with a friend there will still be a delay?[/QUOTE]Yep. It'll be held for one day at the very minimum, by the time they receive it it'll already be gone.

[QUOTE=nightlord;50643583]I might have to, one of them was a foil as well which makes it worse. I'm assuming if i try to trade them with a friend there will still be a delay?[/QUOTE] If they don't have the Authenticator, yes. I think it applies even if they do though.

I magically got the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass and i don't know how i got it :v:
