Go team logic! Given that it was at the top of their sales chart at the end, a lot of people were with me on that one. And then I opted for the deluxe edition, which was more expensive. In the last hours of the sale, I decided that being just one dollar from my target price shouldn’t stop me from buying The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I need to steal my gaming mouse back from my daughter if I want to play this. I managed to struggle through the initial tutorial, but the guy who attacks you immediately afterwards killed me so easily due to my fumbling with the balance of aim and attack that I quit the game. Two key attacks require using the scroll wheel, which means removing my fingers from the trackball mid-fight, so I can either aim my attack or make my attack, but not both. In the end, I am glad it was that cheap if only because it is practically impossible to play the game with my trackball. I picked up Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for $6.24, a price it seemed to hit three or four times during the sale. Towards the end of the sale, while chatting with Gaff, I did end up purchasing two games. The fact that I did not purchase everything on my wishlist probably says something about the nature of my wishes. Literally everything on my wishlist was marked down at least 25%.

Valve seemed a somewhat embarrassed about that as well.īut lots of things were on sale.

Sure, I was a bit bemused at the Brave New World expansion for Civilization V going on sale just two days after it launched. Complaining that something isn’t discounted enough tends to ring a bit hollow. In the end, it is difficult to find anything directly negative to say about Steam and their annual Summer sale.
