2013 Steam Summer Sale

Can anyone please explain why Civil 5 is so awesome? I've never played one before but I'm tempted.

I purchased it during last Summer's sale.  Mostly, it's just addicting as hell and I get off on the whole world domination thing. It can get repetitive and old somewhat fast, but it's a great buy for a few bucks.

I need to put more time into Civ5.  I don't have the new expansion, I'll wait.  But apparently the last 2 expansions basically make the game more like "Civ6" with all the changes and fixes to how the game plays out.  Game is addicting and can take some time.  I always liked it, especially with Civ5, where you can win without military, by building a good economy or from religion, etc.

 

So new deals up, I'll most likely be getting Fez for 4.99 .  Chivalry for 6 and change may be hard to pass up also.  If Sleeping Dogs wins that vote and it's 6 bucks I'll probably grab that, just wish there was a big DLC bundle for it instead though.

 

FTL for like 2.50 is a steal if you don't own it yet.  Very fun game.

 

Doesn't look like FC3 is going to get cheap enough for me to pick it up this sale, so maybe Winter sale or something.

Just picked up Walking dead, Chivalry and Just Cause 2.  $15...can't beat it.

[Zaximus]

Walking Dead for that price is great.  I loved it.  So much I immediately bought and played 500 Days for 4.99.  I know they aren't long games but they immerse you and entertain.  Interactive movie, etc.

Also picked up Chivalry to mess around with for a bit....

[Dex]

Just picked up Just Cause 2. Can't beat it at $3.00. Elder Scrolls Oblivion is on sale for $15. Hoping it drops cause I want it for the nostalgia.

[C47]

Also picked up Far Cry 2 for 2 bucks since I missed out on that one (computer was broke when it first came out)....

[Zaximus]

Got Fez and Sleeping Dogs, 5 and 6 bucks.  I'm still on the fence on Chivalry.  May get a 4-pack for some friends but not sure they'd play, same with Left for Dead 2, not sure they'd play.  

[Zaximus]

Got Chivalry and Call of Juarez.  The CoJ trailers had me hooked imediately, then I read reviews too, sounds good.

I'm not a big computer gamer, and my laptop may not be able to handle some of these games (it slows down during Civ 5 at times), but if I had to get one of these games, what should it be?

What kind of games do you like?

What kind of games do you like?

 

Really open to anything. Not a huge gamer outside of sports games and some of the bigger named stuff like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Far Cry, GTA, etc.  RPG's are typically what I lean towards though it seems.

Sleeping Dogs is fun but I wouldn't spend 12.50 on it, it might go down again during the week.  Also Just Cause 2 for three dollars is an absolute steal if you haven't played that.  Arkham City is a really fun game, but replay value is non existent, if you haven't played either Batman game you can get both for under 14 bucks which is awesome.  Bioshock series is amazing,  and The Witcher is also really solid.....
