    I don't. Especially since they changed twice while I was in bed and then didn't change half of the day when I was awake.
    Every 8 hours is fair for everybody.

    They also brought everything back in the final days though.

    I've probably spent the most during this Steam sale than any other with 17 games bought (admittedly 10 of those games are from one collection purchase) in 4 days. And I doubt they'll be the last purchases in this sale. This is happening probably because I've got a bit more disposable income now that I moved out of my expensive to run flat to a cheaper (but quite cramped) single room.

    Good time to build up my collection with some older and newer games that I've wanted for a little while.

    Annoyingly missed one game that was on a flash sale but I couldn't get the checkout to work and I had to go to bed as I was very tired. By the time I remembered about it when I woke in the morning I had missed it. Hope it pops up once more before the end but if it doesn't I'll probably get it at the slightly higher normal sale price.

    Ok so far I've bought:

    Kerbal Space Program £10.79
    Borderlands 2 Psycho Pack £2.71
    Borderlands 2: Mechromancer Pack £2.71
    Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World £13.39

    £29.60 Spend so far.
    (Not too bad. Civilization was pretty much a must buy at 33% off. Otherwise I would have spent alot less)
  • edited July 2013
    So far I bought:

    Borderlands 2 Psycho Pack - $3.39
    Surgeon Simulator 2013 - $3.39
    Trine 2 Complete Story DLC - $0.99

    I've still got my eye on some stuff, but I've got some good restraint this time around. Of course, I'm missing out on getting cards.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition isn't being released until after the summer sale.
  • edited July 2013
    I've spent way too much money. I'm not making a list. I've waited for this, there are very few games I buy full price new release anymore.

    On a side note, I just voted for Farming Simulator because I hate those games and felt like sticking it to the fans.
  • edited July 2013
    So far I bought:

    Ys I & II Chronicles+ - $5.09
    Ys Oath in Felghana - $5.09
    Ys Origin - $6.79
    ($16.97 series total)
    Scribblenauts Unlimited - $4.99

    $21.78 total.

    I thought Farming Simulator was fairly popular...

    That saddens me greatly.

    Don't be sad. In September it will be available on 360 and PS3.

    And yes. These games actually sell kinda well in Germany. Another reason to hate this country.:(

    Aw man, I missed those. Would totally have bought them at that price, sad face. Hope that gets repeated.

    Farming Simulator is already available on 3DS. Too expensive for a game I probably won't like.

    Flash sales:

    Farming Simulator is the best multiplayer Robot Wars game we've got...
  • edited July 2013
    Yeah, all 3 of the community votes have already been out and we know Skyrim will be a daily at least once.
  • edited July 2013
    Pretty meaningless choices then. At least if they reprise all deals at the end of the sales.
  • edited July 2013
    All community choices are pointless time-shifts. If they haven't shown up yet, that's because they will in the future.

  • edited July 2013
    Nice, Skyrim is back. Oddly enough though, Dragonborn is 30% off instead of 50 like it was on day 1. Probably a typo, but those are normally fixed quickly.
  • edited July 2013
    Also CiV V is up for vote again. Vote for it to make preorderers of the new expansion rage some more.
  • edited July 2013
    Halfway through the Civilization V sale, they removed the discount on Brave New World. They also gave a copy of Civ IV(base game, no expansions) to anyone who pre-ordered Brave New World as an apology....which seems like far more of a slap in the face to me but whatever.
  • edited July 2013
    Aw, the scribblenauts flash sale isn't any lower than the daily sale. Hmm.
  • edited July 2013
    Flash/Daily/Community Choice are ALWAYS THE SAME.

    The other Assassin's Creed games seem to be reduced, too. (The price for the individual games is actually cheaper than the Assassin's Creed Pack... At least thats the case for me in Germany.)

    Nice. Thanks for checking that out. That's often the case when one game in a franchise is featured. I'm on a really bad mobile connection at the moment, so I had trouble checking the deals more in depth.
  • edited July 2013
    The rest of the Assassin's Creed series is 75% off. All of it. Including Revelations, the Gold Edition of which is now under a fiver (which is generally my limit) and as a result has now been purchased by myself.

    So add that one to the list from earlier, along with some DLC for Sleeping Dogs now it's 75% off again.

    F1 2012 75% off

    Mars: War Logs 50% off

    Oh so the complainers made the sale worse for everyone else. SWell Buy it for the old saleprice at greenmangaming then.

    Use this code:
    GMG30-LY2G6-UKDYY

    Oh. Works also for Final Fantasy 7.

    Flash sales:

    * 75% off Torchlight II (Windows): 4,74€ / $4.99
    * 66% off Defiance Standard Edition (Windows): 10,19€ / $13.59
    * 66% off Music Creator 6 Touch (Windows): 16,99€ / $16.99
    * 75% off Half-Life 2 (Windows/Mac): 1,74€ / $2.49

    The sale extends to everything in the respective franchises except the Valve bundles and the Defiance season pass.

    Community's Choice:

    * 66% off Surgeon Simulator (Windows/Mac/Linux): 3,39€ / $3.39

    The only new votes up are The Walking Dead and Van Helsing. WTF? I don't really want to choose either, but I guess I'll go with Van Helsing, since it looks like the most interesting of the two and TWD already was a deal.

    EDIT: There's also a Steam redeemable daily deal on GamersGate: 50% off Sacred Citadel: 7,50€ / $7.50
  • edited July 2013
    I wonder if it's worth dumping the 14 bucks on the Bioshock Infinite season pass, even though they haven't even announced the first DLC yet.

    It was posted in their news section too. At 11:10... in 150min from now.

    Let's make this easier. Link to the sale list, which has individual links for each game.

    Ok. So I guess I'm looking at the flash sales today then! XD
    (Because the community seems to want the games we already own a billion times over, and the daily deal's pretty naff when you got all the good stuff already)

    Guess I'll total up what I've spent so far.


    Surgeon Simulator - £2.37
    Sleeping Dogs DLC (Just the story dlc I didn't have) - £1.88
    Dishonoured DLC - £4.97
    Kerbal Space Program £10.79
    Borderlands 2 Psycho Pack £2.71
    Borderlands 2: Mechromancer Pack £2.71
    Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World £13.39

    TOTAL SPEND SO FAR: £38.82

    A bit disappointing, (because if you don't count the "accidental" brave new world sale I snatched up, I would have only spent £25 which is probably half I'd normally spend in a summer/winter sale! XD), and I only plan to get Ys games when they eventually go on sale, (maybe a couple of other things if they caught my eye enough).

    EDIT: I got some summer cards to trade. (may as well eh?)

    Cards I got:

    1x Chivalry
    1x Dead Island Riptide
    2x Skyrim


    Cards I need:

    Football Manager 2013
    Kerbal Space Program
    Reus
    Torchlight II
  • edited July 2013
    I'm stuck with about 3 football manager cards...

    THERE WE GO. Stupid Community Choice idiots forcing me to wait for this one.

    EDIT: OH NO WHAT VERSION DO I GET THAT $17 ONE SOUNDS PRETTY SWEET
