This is my first time experiencing the legendary steam summer sale since I've been a console gamer for 15+ years and just got back to PC and... it sucks? Nothing I am interested in is any cheaper than it has been in previous sales.

Was talking with some people IRL who were disappointed with the summer sale so they didn't buy anything. Then we started talking about games we're currently playing and I realize they're all talking about new releases they bought at full price (NieR, BATTLEGROUNDS, Ft13, Prey, etc). I mean, if you already bought the game at full price, then I can understand why DOOM and Dishonored 2 being at their lowest prices isn't impressive. :shrug:

I'm in this boat. I get everything new with 20+% off on Amazon (several upcoming games are already $30 off due to a Walmart price war/auto price matching) so I get to play them new instead of when the playerbase is dead (I play lots of mulitplayer) for maybe a few bucks more. I can't find anything interesting that I haven't played already.

should I buy phantom pain? Kinda bored of open world shooters but someone told me it has a pokemon-like collecting but with soldiers. also you get to build up a base.

It's super fun at first but almost no one gets more than halfway done and apparently Kojima forgot to finish it anyway.

Did Mad Max turn out ok? I remember some complaining about it when it came out but now the reviews look really good and it's pretty cheap.

Worth a try at that price. Much like MGS V, it makes a great first impression but really really drags in the middle. I couldn't force myself through it and I am a fan of most ubisoft open world games.

Look at the savings.



My 71 year old dad plays a game called X Plane with micro transactions almost as bad as this and I'm really afraid he's turned into a "whale."

Nope, buy Cities Skylines instead.
