It has begun!!

CastorTroy · 19-06-2014 05:04PM

Well I'm safe for 8 hours at least

Sephiroth_dude · 19-06-2014 05:05PM

Is riptide worth it? Is it standalone?

Watch dogs seems to have gone up €10. Last time I looked on the site it was €49, now it's €59.

Yup, we've seen the same in previous sales. Activision games in particular

Nody · 19-06-2014 05:07PM

Well first game purchased; Farcry 3 Deluxe edition for 7.49 EUR. It's been on my "to get list" as I liked Farcry 1 and 2 and with some DLCs it has to be the Deluxe over standard :P

Cravez · 19-06-2014 05:11PM

Nothing of interest at the mo. Another 8 hour wait

Re: the trading card game;

Craft badges

Collect all 10 Summer Adventure trading cards to craft the badge.

You can get trading cards in a few ways: as a reward for purchasing from the Steam Store (1 card per $10 USD or equivalent), crafting game badges, voting in the Community’s Choice sale (1 card per 3 votes), by trading, or by purchasing them in the Community Market. Read more specifics in the FAQ.

Earn rewards and points

Crafting the Summer Adventure Badge gets you:

1 in-game item (or 5 for the foil badge)
1 emoticon
1 profile background
a chance at a Team Token
10 points (or 100 for the foil badge)

To earn more points you can keep crafting the badge during the sale.

Summer Adventure Badge - 10 points
Summer Adventure Foil Badge - 100 points
any other game badge - 1 point
any foil game badge - 10 points

Each day 1 team wins

Everyone is randomly assigned to a team when they click the "Join a Team" button above or when they craft a badge. Your points count toward your team’s daily total.

Each day the team with the most points wins. 30 members of that team who contributed points that day will win 3 games off their Wishlist. Make sure to update your Wishlist.

Anyone who contributed points to that win will get 2 bonus Summer Sale trading cards. Everyone else who contributed points that day will get 1 bonus card.

The points are totaled and a new day begins at 10am PDT.

Gunmonkey · 19-06-2014 05:13PM

Hrm, may update the ol' wishlist then.

Steviemoyne · 19-06-2014 05:13PM

Xcom is better value if bought with The Bureau for €6.79 instead of on its own for €6.59.

thegame983 · 19-06-2014 05:17PM

If anyone is interested in Xcom, do't be put off by the measly 67% off.

Xcom standalone - 6.59e

Xcom Complete (with all DLC including Enemy Within) - 9.89 ***This is the one to get!

also
XCOM: Enemy Unknown + The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - 6.79.

"Bargains gather, and now my hunt begins. It shall not end until my bankruptcy. I shall do no work, hold no responsibilities, date no women. I shall play no games and collect no achievements. I shall eat and sleep at my PC. I am the wallet that funds Half Life 3. I pledge my money and my dignity to Gaben, for this Sale and all Sales to come."

:pac:

Steviemoyne · 19-06-2014 05:26PM

Price just updated for Xcom base game, to 75% off at €4.99.

shruikan2553 · 19-06-2014 05:27PM

If anyone else is interested in sins of a solar empire Im up for going in on a 4 pack.

Krusader · 19-06-2014 05:36PM

I'm also sadly interested in this

TPD · 19-06-2014 05:49PM

My steam account has been forever locked to the american store since buying Oblivion over there three years ago.
Just picked up the Far Cry franchise bundle for $15 (been meaning to play 3 & Blood Dragon). Going to keep an eye out for the assassins creed franchise.

CastorTroy · 19-06-2014 06:05PM

Any preferences for the vote, as neither appeal to me?

iamanengine · 19-06-2014 06:08PM

New to this 'Steam' craic. Have a crappy laptop but would like to get a few games on it. Any recommendations for the sale that won't be too heavy on the ol laptop? Looking at Don't Starve seems like it could be a good shout!

Dont starve is a great little game, dont get the DLC for it until it drops further in price

All really depends on the spec of the laptop and type of games your into really

Without knowing your specs I can't make any recommendations but this will help if you decide on some games yourself.

Sins of solar empire is tempting - anyone played it ?

degrassinoel · 19-06-2014 06:22PM

Fell at the first fence, Witcher 2 for 4 euro was too good to resist

Unfortunately it looks like the only game you can play.

You should try GOG.com there are plenty of all time classic games that would run on that processor and are on sale now.

I did say it's a crappy laptop unfortunately

I'll be investing in a new one hopefully at the end of the summer though.

I have it. Looks great, but I never really played it much. The tutorial is a bit meh . I've been meaning to watch a few let's plays to get my head around it.

Use the site posted a few posts up to check if you can run games, you may be able to run a couple of light indie games, but your processor is only as powerful as gaming desktops from 2000-2005. I think my brother has run Minecraft on something similar to your laptop.
