I tried so hard not to, but at 7pm each and every single day over the past nine days or so, I found myself checking Steam for their latest Summer Sale specials. I can’t believe I ended up spending money – I was convinced I got everything I needed during their Winter version 6 months ago! How wrong I was. Thankfully, the difficult time is nearly over, meaning I can go back to my normal life. There is one last hurdle to overcome however – the encore sale – which has just about everything going far cheaper than it normally would.
If you’ve been holding out, I’m really sorry to subject you to the following. There are just too many damn good specials though, and I don’t think they should be missed! Here are some of my recommendations and highlights:
- Hotline Miami 2 – $10.04 (33% off)
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown Complete Pack – $9.99 (80% off)
- Far Cry 3 – $7.49 (75% off)
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – $3.74 (75% off)
- Transistor – $4.99 (75% off)
- Child of Light – $3.74 (75% off)
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut – $1.49 (85% off)
- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition – $2.99 (85% off)
- Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition) – $4.99 (75% off)
- Batman: Arkham City (Game of the Year Edition) – $4.99 (75% off)
- Batman™: Arkham Origins – $4.99 (75% off)
- Ori and the Blind Forest – $11.99 (40% off)
- Battleblock Theater – $1.49 (90% off)
- Tales from the Borderlands – $12.49 (50% off)
- Saints Row: The Third – $3.74 (75% off)
- Saints Row IV – $4.99 (75% off)
- BioShock Triple Pack – $10.48 (85% off)
- The Wolf Among Us – $6.24 (75% off)
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Legendary Edition – $13.59 (66% off)
- Wolfenstein: The New Order – $14.99 (75% off)
- Wolfenstein: The Old Blood – $9.99 (50% off)
- Tomb Raider – $3.99 (80% off)
- Borderlands 1 (GOTY edition) + Borderlands 2 – $9.99 (80% off)
- Fallout 3 – $2.49 (75% off)
- Fallout: New Vegas – $2.49 (75% off)
These are just a few of very many specials. Be sure to check all of them out – there may be something you want in there afterall!
The sale ends at 7pm tonight (South African time), meaning you have just a few short hours to find your wallet and punch in your card details. I ended up buying 6 games (Fallout 3 + New Vegas, The Forest, Resident Evil 6, Risk of Rain, and Tales from the Borderlands) and they’re all sitting happily atop my backlog. I even impulse bought Ori and the Blind Forest. Seeing as I own it already, I had to give the spare copy to a friend. I ain’t even mad!

Hey, I know many people hated it, but the OCD in my can’t not play it. I’ve played everything else in the core series BUT 6 🙁 WISH ME LUCK!

I have way too many of those on the list. Only missing a few here and there.
This is not necessarily a good thing.

Just remember people. The FarCry games still require U(dont)play. So maybe think twice about that purchase. 😉

Dang! Was just about to buy Black Dragon… Now I has a sad…
Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 14:02
I bought it two sales ago. Still haven’t played it because I’m unsure whether I want Uplay back on my pc.

If there is one game that I would make that sacrifice for, it’ll be Blood Dragon, it was, lightly put, Bloody good, especially with the whole 1980’s Tearmienaydor dude doing the voice….

Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 14:07
I made the sacrifice for Valiant Hearts and Child of Light. I must say, Blood Dragon SERIOUSLY intrigues me. I meant to play it earlier, but then came PayDay 2, then Witcher 3. I just can’t keep up. 🙂
Want to do a nice clean format of the olde HDD sometime though, so will try it out then probably.
Blood Emperor Trevor
June 22, 2015 at 14:08
Blood Dragon is a lot of fun. Only 6 or 7 hours to finish too, so it’s not a massive time sink.
Greylingad[CNFRMD]
June 22, 2015 at 14:09
You have to witness the flipping off tirade the guy goes off on, the game is simply a trip down the kind of memory lane that made my childhood good, LAZERS! LENSE FLARE! AND MotherF-ING ROBOT Dinosaurs!
Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 14:13
Gives me the feeling of a neon Escape from LA (which was just a brilliant movie).
I’ll see if it downloads without me getting throttled. I’ve officially raped my line this month.

Still on Payday2?, that game can just not keep my attention. To much rince and repeat CODdy type action.
Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 14:49
The leveling and customisation holds it together for me. Plus there are nice new (and often free) heists that come out. Once you start doing everything on DeathWish difficulty it gets more creative. But I know it’s not a everyone’s cup of tea. I prefer my co-op tactical gameplay over a large MP PVP bulletfest any day.
Hammersteyn
June 22, 2015 at 14:06
So you buy a game but you don’t play it because of Uplay??? I’d do the same. Awesome game though. Do it just this one time.
Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 14:09
I honestly just had so many other games that were easier to download and play. THere are actually just too many games in my library.

Or, if you don’t have it already, just skip the sale and buy Witcher 3. You need no more until the next sale swings around in October. 😀

I bought Witcher 1 and 2 since I haven’t played them before. Now I sit and wait for the download to complete

June 22, 2015 at 14:10
Awesome.
1 feels a bit old, but 2 is superb still.

I only bought one thing! And that was only because I already had $2 in my steam wallet!
Captain JJ Browmehn

Haha. If the $2 is from trades and cards then you deserve a salute. 😀

I got 20 cards from that clicking game, 1 was a foil that I sold for 40c, yay!

Haha! Excellent. I got 8 cards. Made the badge. Returned to playing Witcher 3

June 22, 2015 at 14:39
All from card sales! So I didn’t pay anything!

The only thing I really looked for was a nice discount on the PinballFX tables I don’t have, but it was not to be.

I bought two games. Four DLCs (because PayDay)
Got one gift 😀

ARK was a VERY last minute decision. I had a budget and by yesterday I’d not even spent half of it. So then ARK was very alluring. 😀 Also, I was pissed off at the people who killed me on Beasts of Prey 😛

If your computer is struggling FPS’s wise, I have a few fixes for that. You can just hit me up on Steam if you get stuck. (much optimization still needed for this game)

Excellent. Thanks. Will do.

June 22, 2015 at 15:52
Yeah. I don’t mind griefers in those types of games. A tribe decided to try and kill me and my stegosaur the other day. I got away and swore revenge. I found their base and took my T-Rex for a little visit while they were out screwing with other people. Needless to say they left my server cause apparently they can’t take the same punishment they dish out.
The walls are still there with signposts all over warning people that this is what happened to the last bunch of assholes who stirred up needless crap. 😛
Captain JJ Browmehn
June 22, 2015 at 16:02
Haha. Nice. Problem is there’s only the one server on Beasts. And I can’t even run from them. They have damn jeeps. I also have no idea which base theirs is. So revenge is a bit difficult.
