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

To anyone who's tried it, how's the refunds working? Do they take a long time? I ask because I'm somewhat interested in getting Endless Legend if a sale drops by, but while I'm good for most requirements, it's my old piece of junk graphics card (GTX 650) is apparently slightly below the minimium required to run it.

Since i'm not sure if a lower resolution + low graphics quality would do, still thinking of grabbing the game, but if it doesn't work out I guess I can try to get a refund as to not waste money...

Did it today due to the game price being lower today. I even stated "it's cheaper now" as the reason. It couldn't have been easier. And I got a refund in about 10 minutes.
 
[edit] I cracked and went with KOF 98 25 minutes before the deadline.

A thought flashed through my head that my credit card company will see purchases from Steam and they'll shut down my card. Like, no, you can't handle this Danthrax, we're stopping you now.
 
Steam won't take my money with all these cart errors.

E: Whoop. 3rd times the try, I guess.


Also, earlier today it wouldn't let me join in on the meta game but it turns out somewhere along the way it did register my play click and I'm just chilling at level 220 or so. This is so bad.
 
I've only played it on PS3, but...

Pros:
  • The story
  • The characters
  • The watercolor art style
  • The music
  • The gameplay
Cons:
  • It's "anime"

Its kinda obvious that its "anime".

To the dude that asked, its a great game and if you want to play something different, Valkyria Chronicles is a great title. There hasn't really been this type of tactical third person strategy game since and its a bit sad that the sequels are on the PSP which just shows you how long ago this series was relevant. The closest thing to it right now is Fire Emblem on the 3DS.
 
Any criticisms of Valkyria Chronicles? I've never really played SRPG's and this always seemed a great place to start.

Is xbox controller better then keyboard and mouse?

The wait times when you're waiting your turn can be extremely annoying. After you move around, the enemy must take their turn to move and if there are a lot of enemies on the map then you're just waiting, especially if those enemies are in the fog of war because you don't see where they're moving.

Also I think the game would be overly easy if you use Orders... I didn't realize you had these boosts until the final boss...
 
Which is more fun of an RPG to progress through, Witcher 2 or Skyrim?

Honestly, Skyrim. I enjoyed parts of Witcher 2.. and it's a bit more story driven.. but overall I enjoyed and put far more time into Skyrim.

I enjoy the freedom Bethesda gives you.

By the time you've set up the mods to give Skyrim an edge you'd already be knee-deep in Witcher 2's story and rightfully hooked, I'd hope. So, really, it's up to you: an intruiging story you live through, or an adventure you forge on your own.

Yeah, that pisses me off. Basically what this tells me is that I would've been better off waiting to buy it. But no, I bought it earlier and supported Bohemia so fuck you, you have to buy the DLC full price.

I have a hankering for some sonic, is generations the move?
Also Colin Moriarty was PRAISING that Amalur game recently, does it deserve the love?

From what I played of the PS3 version, I think so. It's a huge game with great combat, but people sometimes don't like it because it's made by people who love MMOs, and it shows in the quest and game design.
 
Some decent titles in that Flash update, but I'm not feeling a lot of them.
 
Generations is awesome, get it if you want a Sonic game.

I still need to play 4 Episode II one day but its never been the budget price I feel it should be on any of the various console sales I have access to.
 
The only thing I have wanted to buy so far was something these scumlords manipulated the price on so that the sale is actually more than it was previously (Wolfenstein: New Order), so fuck that noise.

Obligatory "these sales get worse every year" post.
 
Hoping for Thief 2. Hopefully it gets cheap enough I can get it with card money, i.e. Less than a dollar.

They're always good as long as you play games a year or two after release - always a treat one thing to look forward to haha
 
after playing Freedom Planet(Brevon was fucking hard) i just cant go back to the old Sonic games
i just cant
the bosses are so much harder and challenging

Yup, it's been like that on every ARMA3 sale so far, No DLC discount. Its a overpriced too which makes it worse because the only way I can justify it is on sale. Kinda disappointed in Bohemia.
 
Finally got the chance to play Hotline Miami 2. It's really fun....too bad I didn't play it any earlier but better late than never.
 
Wasn't it a mobile port, or just a poor port in general?
I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

I was going to get Pac Man Museum, since when I tried the demo I had no problems whatsoever (and it was pretty fun too). But then I saw this on a Flash Sale, so idk =X

Also, this version has apparently 95% of positive reviews, whatever that's worth...

If it's the same as the Xbox Arcade version, I really enjoyed it. I definitely got my fun value out of it at $10.
I guess I should go for it then? It's not even close to 10 bucks, so I guess it won't hurt TOO much if it ends up being a bad port (although I'll still want a good version of Pac Man to buy).

Edit: thanks Corpekata, buying it =D
