Just got AC 3 and Civ 5 Gold(forgot it was in my basket). It better not go to 75% off, even then I feel £15 for the gold edition was good enough, better get 15 hours of gameplay from it now XD

I know have no money for any other games unless I 100% want it and not just cause its cheap.

Also I need the Kerbal and prison architect cards to complete the set. I have spares of Torchlight 2, Tomb Raider, Skyrim, Reus and Dead Island.

Name is NoobGamer on steam, also part of the Dakka Group if interested. Feel free to add.

Speaking of Civ V gold:

I got frustrated that Civ V hadn't gone any lower yet and decided I wasn't going to buy it.

Then, whilst in town today, I happened to wander into a Gamestop (the family was buying shoes next door). Lo and behold, Civ V gold for $12.50! This was being advertised under the Steam Summer Sale too (requires Steam to use)!

I'm contemplating Civilization V. However as the latest DLC is £20 I really see no reason for buying it as that DLC is supposed to add a lot of desirable content to the game. Rather I think it proper that instead I wait until the DLC's on sale at 75% off at some point later (hey maybe even during the next summer sale). £20 just seems way too steep to me for a DLC that's supposedly a required update to make the game more playable. =/

Also, if people are wanting to trade cards I have extra copies of Dead Island: Riptide, Football Manager, Tomb Raider and Torchlight II. I don't actually know how they work (ie what constitutes a set), but I do have nine unique cards if that amounts to anything?

12.50 is a steal for Civ 5 didnt expect it to get that low.

Civ V Gold Edition at that. However, it wasn't purchase through Steam (and though I got it eventually put on Steam, I'll warn everyone now that buying a digital copy from Gamestop requires you to download their pseudo-Steam first. It's as bad as Origin.

Ok, so Walking Dead, Torchlight 2 and now 3D Mark.

And Dishonoured DLC.

This is my first Steam Sale. Help me!!!

There's a handy flow chart for the uninitiated!

Seems that way. I'm thinking of buying Max Payne, Max Payne 2 and Hitman: Blood Money.

Keep in mind that I already own all three of these games, but if I can't get them to work then I might need to re-buy them.

Aaaaaaand upon checking Steam, Civ V Gold Edition is now $12.49 (I rounded in my earlier report).

Less than 3 hours to get it!

As for me, Dust: An Elysian Tale. The game looks far too good.

P.S: Because I'm an ex-achievement wh***, sometimes I have some lapses. The Badges for the Summer and Holiday sales badges are some I really like collecting. If anyone is willing to trade one of the following cards, I would be very grateful.
- Bioshock: Infinite
- Prison Architect

I have the following to trade:
- Kerbal x1
- Riptide x1

Steam name: draconiclord. Alias: Vash the Stampede

I've got a spare torchlight 2 card.

I also like achievement whoring.

I got spare riptide and chivalry.

I'm missing prison, bioshock and kerbal.

Buy KSP for the lolz. I mean making a random cobbled together rocket and landing on the Mun...

Hum, is it only me or the "Vote" thingie only has 2 games instead of the usual 3? I guess the third one isn't available for sales in Europe. (Ah well, I hope Van Helsing wins )

Edit: Quick card trade update!

Missing:
- Bioshock
- Prison Architect

Have the following cards for trade:
- Riptide
- Kerbal
- Tomb Raider
- Reus

Steam account name: draconiclord; Alias: Vash the Stampede

Also missing Prison Architect... I also need Football Manager and Torchlight.
I found someone who has Prison Architect but is unwilling to trade...
The midget bastard...

I got it free with XCOM.

I have 2 Chivalry, 2 tomb raider, 1 prison architect,1 Reus and 1 riptide card spare. I need Bioshock, Skyrim, Kerbal and Torchlight.. My Steam name is = which makes me hard to find

I have bioshock spare, need Kerbal.

User is Doctadeth

I have a spare Riptide, Prison Architect and Tomb Raider.

Need Kerbal, Reus, Torchlight and Chivalry. Steam is iustis.

Marvel Heroes. £32.50 is the sale price? £65 seems like a hell of a lot to retail a game for.

Anyhow, Bastion's going for £1.71 right now for the next hour. Its a great game, with a decent plot that's betrayed by the cartoonish graphics.

Decided to get Evoland. This game looks really cool for us gamers that played through all the genre continuous evolutions. Not only that, I saw an enemy called "Kefka Phantom" in the screenshots.

If it has anything Kefka related, it must be played

The game itself is free, all you get for your money is some superhero classes and a few outfits.....

Yeah. It's a total rip.

Anyway, got Bastion + Soundtrack for $3.50.

Today's sales kind of stink. There's far cry 3, but they still refuse to do 75%. Still waiting...

There's probably some psychological reasoning behind having a couple of boring days in the middle of a sale.

Still managed to get some money outta me. I was hoping for a Van Helsing promotion so me and a friend could begin our:

Interested in Van Helsing, waiting for 75% though.

Xcom: Enemy Unknown is going for 10 USD right now for anybody that still doesn't have it. That's like 75% off!

Hmn, Age of Empires III costs the same as the Age of Empires III and Age of Empires II bundle. ...I only wanted II. XD

Meh, if you ever feel playing a vastly inferior game, now you are able to!

And Deadlight is on the Flash Sales. Get it. It's one fantastic little game.

P.S: For the life of me, I just am not able to complete one damn set. I still need:
1x Bioshock
1x Prison Architec

For trade:
2x Riptides
2x Kerbals
2x Reus
1x Tomb Raider

Saw this last night on Reddit about a hidden message in the Steam Sale trading cards. It's hinting towards the release of something fans have been asking for for a long time

Very funny.

Mother of God... the wait is finally over... I don't know whether to laugh or cry manly tears of joy.

The evidence is very thin to start thinking that HL3 is a mere 3 days away. I'm sure it means something (this is Valve) but the chances are good that it isn't HL3.
