2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

Picked up Borderlands and the Valve Complete Pack today.

I thought steam gave extra gift copies of valve games you already owned, but apparently that's not the case. I was planning on giving them away here. Ah well...

In total I bought

Borderlands

Valve Complete Pack

Transformers: War for Cybertron

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Beat Hazard Ultra

Fallout: New Vegas

Kane & Lynch 2 has to be the shortest campaign I have ever played. I thought Modern Warfare was short, but K&L 2 took me 4 hours to finish. It was a decent game with nice visuals, but I would have been ****ed if I paid full price for it.

Any reccomendations on whether I should get FO:NV or AC: Brotherhood?

I thought AC:Brotherhood was amazing. Definitely worth it. There's so many things to do in that game. Got around 45 hours of play time out of it to get 100% completion. It's quite the improvement on AC2.

I can't comment on NV. I bought it, but haven't played it yet. They just released a huge patch that is supposed to fix all the bugs in the game, so seeing as bugs were the most common complaint about the game, I'm guessing it should be worth it.

So far I have this list in my steam account:

Battlefield Pack - June 2011

FarCry 2

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY

Kane and Lynch 2 - Dog Days

Bioshock 2

Left 4 Dead 2

Amnesia The Dark Descent

Grand Theft Auto IV (US/AU)

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl

The Orange Box

Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition

Half-Life 2 Retail Collectors

I'd join that party, if it wasn't for Sanctum. That game looks like it will become boring really fast, even in multiplayer :(

Well, there is a demo up, so you can see for youself. I'm gonna try the demo out right now.

I like how the tickets are all open today.

They've been open every day. :p I've spent the last few days trying to earn as many tickets as I could. I've got 15 so far (redeemed 5 items as well), and I have a feeling I've hit my limit now. There's 10 more tickets that I can earn, but it looks like they're too hard for me. The Beat Hazard one is really tricky, and the CS:S, Galcon Fusion, and DoD:S achievements are all impossible for me, because I suck at those games. :p

Thanks you reminded me to get Beat Hazard. I aint really been trying to get tickets at all, tried in the last type of deal they had like this and i never won so had no incentive to go for this lol.

**** the demo. I'll join just to be the third guy and to increase my game library on Steam.

I already know I'll hate the game, but so be it. PM me your paypal email.

And speaking of summer tickets. This is my loot, with one more ticket remained: http://i.imgur.com/v8vMB.jpg

Even if I'd get two more tickets, I don't know what I would spend them on. I already grabbed all what I needed.

Very well then! :laugh: I just finished playing the demo; I wasn't overly impressed for it, but for ?1.66, **** it! :p You can buy a lot worse for that!

Thankfully, there's no expiration date on gifting game copies, so if anyone's interested in the extra copy later on, just say. ;)

    • 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the 2TB WD_Black SN7100 internal solid-state drive at its lowest price in over three months, so you may want to check it out, if you have been considering a storage upgrade, before the deal dries up (purchase link is toward the end of the article). Featuring a PCIe Gen 4.0 interface and M.2 2280 form factor, the SN7100 promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and sequential write speeds reaching 6,900MB/s, offering as much as a 35% improvement in performance compared with the previous generation. It also achieves random read speeds of 1,000,000 IOPS and random write speeds of 1,400,000 IOPS. The drive uses Western Digital’s TLC 3D NAND technology for reliable performance and is further supported by a five-year limited warranty. It also offers strong endurance, rated at up to 1,200TBW, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and high-speed recording. Moreover, its DRAM-less architecture claims to improve power efficiency (the SSD relies on system memory for caching via HMB), while the WD_Black Dashboard software enables users to monitor drive health, install firmware updates, and activate Game Mode for potentially better performance. Finally, it operates within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, and can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD: $242.96 (Amazon US) Check this deal out if you want a 4TB option.

    • Hopefully this will fix the issue of no sound I have since last months stupid, and non-removable, Microsoft Corporation AudioProcessingObject Driver Update (1.0.3.56670)
    • It IS confusing! What channel are you in on each device? I'm guessing your 16GB device is on Experimental (formerly known as Dev) and your 128GB is on Beta.
    • 100 for the base game , 120 for pre release with bonus unlocked content (a pair of boil washed underpants for Trevor)
