Steam Summer Sale 2014

[Sparky06]

I picked up 7 Days to Die a couple days ago when it was on sale, and have been playing it quite a bit. I really enjoy it! It may be just an early access/alpha, but it's pretty excellent. Basically DayZ blended with Minecraft in a surprisingly effective manner. Much more challenging than Minecraft, much scarier feeling than DayZ.

The whole "apocalyptic survival first person crafting" thing has somehow become a genre with a dozen or so entries recently, but this really seems like it could be the genuine article. It's much more straightforward than Rust, and a lot more polished than any of the other attempts at this I've seen of late.

Anybody else pick it up? Multiplayer is still being improved, but there is a functioning version that they suggest for up to 8 players. Could be fun!

I picked it up earlier this year, played around in multiplayer with Moonray. I haven't really played it in a few months, so a lot of the updates are still new to me.
We should definitely get together for some multiplayer, it'd be great fun.

Excellent, Sparky

In my "learning the game" playthrough I'm basing myself out of the Spillway Cabins, and it seems like a good place to be - very central, easy access to major supply raiding areas, but isolated enough to not get the worst of the daily hordes and to have good lines of fire. After I reach the 7th night (gotta give it 7 days, right? ) I'll restart a new world with regular settings instead of the easier ones I used to learn the system. Might come back to this same place though!

A couple small images, for funsies!

Decided to use the larger of the Spillway cabins as my lair:


Fortified it against attack (ongoing) and cut a 20m kill zone:


The hordes still find me sometimes:


But the defenses seem to be working:

Gah I'm still waiting for Devil may Cry to go on sale. I've been waiting for a good hack and slash.

Also I managed to get Bioshock Infinite's DLC when it went on flash sale and I definitely recommend it. Burial at Sea Episode 1 and 2 is a great extension of the Bioshock and Infinite universe although Episode 1 ended sooner then I wanted.

I've been doing well about avoiding impulse purchases this time around. So far I've only spent about 22 dollars: Batman Arkham City and Origins, and Awesomenauts are all I've bought thus far.

...game wise at least. I think i've dropped another 20-something on market stuff in the meantime.

Day 8:

• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (-50%)
• Banished (-50%)
• Sid Meier's Civilization V (-75%)
• Dishonored (-75%)
• Europa Universalis IV (-75%)
• Left 4 Dead 2 (-75%)
• Resident Evil 4 (-40%)
• Total War: Rome II (-66%)
• Train Simulator 2014 (-85%)

[Peahats]

I would recommend Dishonored to anyone who does not own it already. At $5 it's a steal.

I'm looking to craft more Summer badges.

[The Domer]

Today I lost control of my credit card and bought both Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Rome II: Total War

I have an extra 9 and lack both 4 and 7 (only need one in exchange). Sent you a friend request since I apparently don't have you added yet.

I keep hoping Dark Souls II will come up at more than 33% off at some point. . .

You're not missing much waiting. Dark Souls II is a very solid and fun game but lacked that something special to keep my attention like the first one did.
PvP is even more of a joke than it was in the first as well if you ask me.
