This sale is so boring!

Yeah, wheres the Developer Bundles!

I would have liked to have seen less repeat sales and some more obscure indie titles get a bigger discount...

I agree and I think anyone who says otherwise needs to really look at what was on sale. It is full of repeats when encore day should be where most of the repeats are. There has been very little diversity of genres offered as well, with many not even getting an option in community choice to have a chance to lose out, and many more losing and not getting a flash sale for the item. And even among the genres offered, it was only the most popular stuff. And even many times when one title in a series or by a certain dev went on sale, others did not.

And I actually am beginning to suspect that encore day isn't happening, or else unlike past years the stuff not up for encore day is remaining on sale for normal sale price until then (which would be a refreshing change if encore day must happen, I personally don't care for encore day since it's all repeats).

Well to me it was boring till they put up the Rollercoaster Tycoon games on Steam (1 and 2 with expansions intact) then everything went well. Heck for the first time today I had my first foil badge and thank goodness they only level once instead of five times like the regular ones.

I loved this sale so far! Got over half of my wishlist to disappear! :D My budget was $30 for this whole sale, but, I upped it to $50. Which is usually a lot for me as I cannot afford much. But, anyways I ended up with these:

• Folk Tale (my #1 choice)
• Brothers: Tale of Two Sons
• Lyne (bought a few for friends too)
• Assassin's Creed III
• Assassin's Creed
• Assassin's Creed II
• Assassin's Creed Revelations
• Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
• Assassin's Creed Liberation
• RPG Maker VX Ace

I think I did well. :D I ended up gaining about Steam Levels and got these games, which when they were all on sale ended up around $80... Not on sale they would've been up much higher. I sold some trading cards (my summer adventure ones) and ended up trading keys for a few.

How'd I do? I never played any of the above so I was looking forward to them. I was hoping to get The Dust and Dawn of Discovery, but, it didn't go on sale! Maybe later :).

I'm hoping xcom will show up again last day and %75 off csgo.

I wish the freaking Quake and Unreal games went on sale but NOOOOOO, you guys had to pick GTA, Terraria, and Space Engineers, ALL GAMES THAT WERE DAILY DEALS SOON AFTER

I agree that the sale has been lackluster. I've said it in other places that while I feel that there's been some good deals on certain games that I either already own or didn't want, for the most part I've been disappointed almost every single day. Heck, my best get was when I traded a key for Valiant Hearts and luckily redeemed it before the region lock and that wasn't even part of the sale proper. I also have felt the pain of community choices losing, most notably the one where Double Dragon Neon and Strider were both in the same group and again on the next day when the group that included Ikaruga was defeated. I'm still possibly going to pick up all 3 of those Monday morning after the last Flash deals are revealed. In comparison to last summer, I purchased at least one daily deal on 8/10 of the 10 days last year. This year I've only gotten 2 (Battleblock Theatre and RE4).

I also was surprised that there have been quite a few games I noticed that have been cheaper in sales past. Something felt off about this Steam sale and I consider it the worst out of the ones I've participated in. Here's hoping winter is much better, or at the very least the last few batches of Flash/Community Choices tonight and tomorrow are better.

I'm bummed out that a lot of what I would have grabbed ended up being in losing Community Choices.. Ikaruga, Teslagrad, DLC Quest, Double Dragon Neon, Strider, Quake 3 Arena, Teleglitch, Banner Saga.. all of those were approved to go on 75% sales or about by the developers but they didn't happen. The worst of it is most of the winning counterparts were games that were repeats of Daily or Flash sales, none of the losers I wanted appeared in Flash sales. Sucky sale for me.

Where is my dark souls at 50% :C

it was a decent sale for me, got a bunch of things I didn't have and have already enjoyed to some degree. I'm just unhappy one of the games I wanted to have come up on a better discount lost a community vote. I guess there's still tomorrow's flash deals.

I've trimmed down my wishlist by 20 some-odd games / software, and trimmed my wallet down by about $350 this sale. That's about 3x as much as I've spent on any previous sale. Plus, I've had the Allegorithmic Substance Indie Pack on my wishlist since it was added to steam, waiting for a good deal. Finally picked it up for $125 instead of $250. I'd say that's a good deal (considering I didn't just buy it as a random deal and actually know what it is, what it's for, and it's been on my wishlist).

Yea it is. :/

Has any one else noticed that not a single Star Wars game is part of the generic "every game gets a discount" part of the Summer Sale?

How a sale can be boring... It's boring if you don't spend your money? It should be a great sale then ;p

I_ liked this sale :)

I didn't find it boring at all. It was my best Sale event so far, in fact, as I finally have my own income so I could afford to buy a few games! :)
The only thing that pissed me off is that there was a chance to get To The Moon for a very cheap price, but people didn't vote for that pack :/

+1, for me is bored but you have 1700 games and not played - 1282 (73%)...

Where is DayZ -99%? xd

This sale is boring because it is not fun to purchase like it used to be.

Now, I am buying games strictly because I want to play them. This is no different than any other day on Steam, GMG, Amazon, etc.

Back when Steam had real holiday events, I bought several games due to the Steam Event. In the past events, you not only got points for buying a game but also for completing achievements in those games. Kind of like PlayFire. Now, it's all about crafting dumb ass badges. Moreover, the items you can win via crafting suck this year too just like in the winter. (Look at that ugly Towering Pillar of Summer Shades).

So yes, this sale is boring.

Quick question guys, is the 'Today's featured deals' the last sale day? If it is, I'm pretty disappointed since the games I wanted to see aren't there.

No street fighter IV. This hurts so much.

Today's the most boring day of all. Looks like none of the flash sales are back, and of course, that accounts for pretty much everything I wanted.

the problem was that we didnt see any new great game this year.

Meh, the games I wanted to buy had really crappy discounts (seriously, 12% for a visual novel?). At the end of the sale, I only spent $20, and I'm glad this time I managed to resist the temptation. Hope things are far better in the Winter sale, but this Summer... well, sucked so hard...
