Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)

Which of the Lego games is the better? The Lego Movie Game? I want to buy only one.

You're always going to enjoy the game based on the IP you are most interested in.

My favorite is LEGO Indiana Jones followed by LEGO Batman 2. Others like LEGO Marvel and LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga.

Can't really go wrong though. They're all pretty great in their own ways.
 
I'm a little confused with Franchise Packs. So I have Wolfenstein New Order and The Old Blood in my cart. If they are part of the pack that's on the front page, they won't get any lower, right?
 
Well if you want to play a game that is only competitive tournament type matches at all times then CSGO is an option since there are so many people queueing for ranked match making.

Well, i'm not exactly a tournament player. Kind of semi-competitive, if that makes sense?
"Ranked" is not a necessity for me, good skill matching and even playing field are enough.

Ah, well, enough about that, i'll just keep studying the games available and wait until/if i can get to test CS:GO someday.

Wish Quake collection would go on sale. (For single player shooters, Q1 and 2 and expansions.)
 
Steam Summer 2015 sale in a nutshell.

Both were 50% off, would the dailies be better you think?

I'm sorry but i have no idea. I've got the feeling Civ won't be discounted too heavily, Borderlands... maybe ? (speaking about the last one, the first two will be heavily discounted as usual) But that's really me.
At worst if you already bought them and they are indeed heavily discounted you still have the refund option.

Q: I bought a game earlier and it's now cheaper. :( What are my options?
A: As Gilbert Gottfried once said, "You fool!" But fear not as you can now request a refund. As per the FAQ, refunds on the basis that an item you bought is now cheaper do not constitute abuse, however do note that refunds can take up to seven days to process, so don't rely on that money to buy the item again as it may no longer be a featured deal by the time you receive the funds.
 
Fuck them!

I heard about their shenanigans raising the price of Wolfenstein, but I've heard such good reviews and now that I have a 144hz g-sync monitor, I feel like I have to have it.

I thought the Wolfenstein price raising was a misconception, and that people were confusing a previous sale price with the current base price or something?
 
Oh. Um. Thank you for the advice, gents. I will follow this advice now and i suppose find out why on the last day.



And thank you for the advice as well.

You will find out why by reading the first post of the topic. Not being a smart ass here, go take a peek and you will have your answer.

basically anything that's not featured as a daily / flash deal right now could be in the upcoming days. so if you buy a bunch of stuff today chances are most of them will be cheaper on future days

so; buy dailies/flash sales, and on the last day buy anything that wasnt featured / you still want

I believe it's cause the ones not featured on the frontpage (as daily deals) will last until the 22:nd, and could possibly be discounted even more during that time. If they aren't featured as a daily deal, with a better discount, you buy them on the last day.

Thanks I'll keep a lookout, but can't see them discounting them much more really, if they do 75% I might consider the refund option.
 
Is there any way for me to buy HuniePop without my IRL friends knowing.

Buy it and Bad Rats at the same time, then post a comment to the activity feed saying "Thanks for the gag gifts, guys" and then later when they see you actually playing it say "I was just idling for cards."
 
You have to be some kind of stupid to use any big damage skills on a boss. Like god damn people they go down in ten seconds anyway.

Anything that is not currently a flash or daily has the chance to go even lower. The rule is to wait until the last day and then buy anything that caught your fancy if it HAS NOT been a flash/daily.

IMO Lego Marvel and Lego Batman 3 are above the rest. Tons of characters and replay value.

Like CosmicQueso said, whichever IP you like best. That said, the Lord of the Rings one uses dialogue clipped right from the movies, and is pretty neat.

Thank you all, I'm most interested to buy it to play with my young brother so I'll try to ask him why he likes more. Not that a 4 year old won't want everything. XD
 
Not sure, I just saw something on that in the other thread that is more focused on GTA V.

The GTA thing is definitely dirty, and there are other games that do the same, but overall it feels like a witch hunt. Yesterday, people were all set to string up XCOM because they confused the expansion price with the complete pack price, so... kinda take all these accusations with a grain of salt.

I'm thinking of gifting it to my wife and then using family sharing to play it through her account when she isn't playing Banished. And playing offline.
 
I bought it. Played 10 minutes and then refunded it. I don't know why. I just felt that way. Will keep my money for Apotheon and/or other games.

Apotheon ain't great. Theres so many other metroid-ish games that do it way better. Guacamelee and Axiom Verge being two. There could be a deal on at least one of them during the sale.

You'll still get achievements playing offline and with family sharing, so it's not like you can hide it. Why not just buy it for yourself and not care what other people think?

Being afraid of what others will think of you is what leads to people missing out on Recettear and Long Live the Queen.
 
Can you family share while offline?

Edit: Why not just play directly with her account?

She has a 20+ character password that's really annoying to type when logging in but I'm considering it anyways. D:

Speaking of Recettear! I got endless teasing the last time I loaded that up. It's the bad experience that's led me to take these precautions. :)
 
Finally level 500. I think that's the highest XP gain for the badge. (Though I think that maxed out earlier) now to quest to 50,000? D:

I thought Long Live The Queen was universally loved
 
The game with the chunk of SteamGaffers is at 550+

Man, I wanna join that one, but my max level so far is 220 I think.

According to Steam Support you're allowed to use things like autoclicker for the mini-game and not get banned. I have a Razer keyboard so I made a macro that clicks repeatedly until I press the key again, someone used the throw money at screen ability on a level 170 boss. I got 20,000k fun times.

Really? Pretty sure I saw screenshots of mails of people getting banned from the event for cheating. Your method doesn't seem dangerous, but take care anyways. Not like the game is worth that much.

Man you need better friends before you end up on the downward spiral of buying things you don't even like just because you're afraid of what people will think of you if you don't.

Or universally feared.

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Cheating in this game does not result in punishments against your account.

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.

That's what I got after asking them. Maybe they cheated in a different way, who knows. If something does happen, I think they'd give me a second chance considering I was following advise from a Support agent. Thanks for the heads up though.

I see now. I did skip the first post which I should not have done. Thank you everyone for the help btw.
