Summer Steam "Picnic" Sale 2016

Anti-Christmas is here!

 

 

Don't forget to get your Three (3) free cards each day by checking out the Queue that Steam makes for you.

 

What games are you planning on getting, want to get, or have gotten already?

Are there games you wish were on sale but didn't make it this sale?

How much money have you spent on your steam library during this sale?

[Adam]

I'm not sure what I'm going to buy or how much money I want to spend. This week is pay week so I may splurge a little bit.

I haven't used steam in a while...the hell are these trading cards for?

[Karla]

I got Borderlands The Pre-Sequel and a couple of Borderlands 2 DLC. Yeah, I'm late to the party, but I really love this game.

Cash sink.

You can level up your account by making sets of the cards from each game. You can also sell the cards individually for Steam credit towards other games. Each chard will usually get you 5-10 cents. Each game will net you usually 5 cards.

i got a whole pile of games! i'm going to be gaming for a while.    i've mostly been playing crypt of the necrodancer out of the stuff i've gotten, and i'm really liking it. i'm terrible at it, but the music is fantastic. i'm excited to try recettear out again too, because i played a bit of it ages ago and i've wanted to buy it for myself ever since!

 

i was hoping undertale and stardew valley would go lower, because my price point for this sale is five bucks, but since they're both fairly new and very popular still i'm not surprised they didn't. there's always the winter sale, though. i've got a big enough backlog to be patient.

Isn't that the worst? Sometimes you have 20+ games you know you want to buy. Then you realize, you have 30 games you have never even installed. To top it off, some of the games you haven't installed went on sale, for cheaper than you paid.

If time machines come to exist, Valve is to blame for its creation.

I've managed to pick up Life is Strange, Call of Duty 4 & Hotline Miami 2.

 

I also just picked up a 3tb hard drive, for my 200+ games. 

Humble Bundles, give me a lot of random things.

 

Have you guys picked up anything in the past week?

[Required]

Far Cry 4, The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, Rocket League

 

I also bought Bioshock Infinite + Season Pass and Skyrim Legendary Edition, but I've played them many times, on my PS3. I bought Bioshock because of the expansion (although, I'm already replaying it, its too good a game). Skyrim because I had to try out mods, and I might as well finish it for the third time

[Alexiel]

Don't get paid until Friday so haven't bought much.
So far the only thing I've purchased is the JRPG Happiness Love Bundle for $1.68 - totally worth it.
Getting Tales of Zestiria asap next for certain.
Maybe Fable Anniversary and Knights of Pen and Paper 2.

Haven't really taken a serious look at what all is on sale though tbh. No money so no point just yet.

 

Want Fallout 4, but... think I'll wait until it's at least 60% or more off.
On the fence for Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide and Plague Inc: Evolved at the moment, but will almost certainly be getting C:BE - RT at least. Been wanting it for awhile.

 

Just went through my queue and Stranded Deep looks quite promising.

And uh... SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS... 

[Daria]

I don't know what this is nor what is going on.. But just popping in to say that I laughed my ass off at the Spongebob GIF. That is me in 99% of things I own   

[Chappy]

Woops this one was in the right spot.

Got Sakura Swim Club~
Plan on getting Papers please

It's all good.

Papers Please is pretty intense for a Sim.

Handy man Strat. He has seen things, and he has done things. Wouldn't doubt if he still has a good chunk of his powers, just no time or reason to use them.

I bought one game not on sale, Factorio, and plan to buy the Nekopara collection.
Not too concerned about specific games being discounted, but hopefully Rocket League supports Linux soon.
So far, I have spent 30.07$

[warhound]

I picked up Doom finally, and a friend gifted me Subnautica. Really enjoying both of them.

 

I wish they'd done more with the sale though - the monster game last year was surprisingly fun. And I know they had to quit having flash sales because of refunds, but they got rid of the community choice thing too, so this year there's just... nothing.
