Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
Yes, the only way to truly play the Double Agent is the Xbox/GC/PS2 way. The PC version is really not worth it, and personally I would have skipped it, if I would have known.
e: Chaos Theory -> Double Agent
the problem is i don't have wormholes
Nah, the only way this rather generous refund system works is if Valve eats the loss. There are way too many publishers with way too many different agendas involved for anything else to make sense. Like does anyone really believe that Activision would agree to something that generous? Kotick would probably suggest charging the customer a processing fee for the refund or some shit. The only way a company like that agreed to it is if Valve promised they wouldn't lose money.
Hence, they won't give a fuck and nothing will change.
In that case you're helping more by doing nothing. Let others carry you, and tomorrow you can buy wormholes and actually help.
I think you mean Double Agent. Only way to play Chaos Theory is PC.

It's a terrible port, so don't buy it. Shadows not working properly and save issues are some of the problems.
The game itself is great and worth playing. I actually prefer it over the "last gen" version.
Someone posted a script that handles all the wormhole stuff and such, but if you aren't sure what to do, chances are that not doing anything is the best thing to do : P
Yep, what he says.

The game's been going on for a week, to be perfectly honest it's almost too late to become useful. Quite the opposite, doing the wrong things will sabotage rooms going for high levels. You could try leveling up to be able to buy wormholes tomorrow but you missed the starting gun today too. I suggest trying to get in a room, do nothing and hope for the best.

One day I will manage to join a room that gets to a high level. One day.

It may have more to do with the games that I actually want at the prices I actually want (generally below $10).
I've played and finished most of the Splinter Cell games (played through a bunch of Chaos Theory)
The city builders I'm not interested in
Spec Ops I've beaten
Vampire I've beaten
Pillars of Eternity is $30, which is too expensive
I'll grant you that Ori, Rayman, Shovel Knight, and FTL look pretty good as far as sales go. However I have a bunch of platformers on my backlog (Guacamelee, Giana Sisters, Sly Cooper, Puppeteer) that I don't think buying more platformers is a great idea.
I'm not trying to be edgy and cool by saying the sale is lackluster. I would have grabbed Life is Strange if it was sub-$10. It is on Nuuvem, so I'm gonna get it there. I would have jumped on Divinity OS if it was $10-$15, but it was $26. There were a lot of games I would have bought had they been cheaper, but they weren't. Just because you think something's a good deal, doesn't mean I do.
Great, thanks.

In case someone didn't notice, Anno 1404 is on sale as well, 75% off. If you don't want the sci-fi setting, like me, here's your chance!
a capcom game that released on this year get a 50% discount ?

Maybe for Episode 1. Was 50% or even 75% a short while ago, the whole season wasn't though.
if you have a PS3 , its free now on PS+
Yes, Double Agent is what I meant.
FYI: FTL isn't a platformer, it's a roguelike, although more accurately it's a top-down real-time-with-pause spaceship battle strategy game.
I'm guessing they could probably track that. You could always make a request, it's up to them to approve or refuse it.

I haven't played it, but just picked it up.
Yeah. I know. But I only have a PS4. Too bad it doesn't have a PS4 version.
same here.. but I can definitely wait.

Yeah Shovel Knight is what, one year old, i was hoping for at least 50% off. So it'll have to wait until next big sale.
Still debating on picking up Ori but 12 is a bit much.
Freedom = $1.05

That lovely feeling you get when a sudden lovely bill pops up, and suddenly, you Steam Sale cash is all gone.
FUCK.
FUCK.
Heard a notable number of positive impressions regarding Hand of Fate over the course the last few months. I love the inventive deck mechanics that it seems to use (from watching a few videos and stuff). It feels deliciously table-top-ey, mechanics-wise. I read the Tom Chick review and his observation of what differentiates card-game RNG from 'true' RNG was very astute.
A card exists. It cannot be denied. It will flip up by the time you’ve gone through the deck and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It’s a matter of when, not if.
This is different from a die roll. A die roll, which is always an if, doesn’t exist until it happens. It is only a possibility. A six is no more inevitable than a lottery win or a lucky guess. You could theoretically roll a six-sided die all day and never conjure a six into existence.
Computer games, conjured forth from the stored possibilities of 1s and 0s, are usually die rolls. The very 1s and 0s are coin flips, which is really just a two-sided die. So when a videogame like Hand of Fate comes along and really gets the point of cards, I can’t help but notice.
Any Gaffers have any thoughts on the game? Sadly at this point, any videogame needs titanium strong levels of justification for my dismally limited disposable income to be thrown its way.

I just realized the steam store page only shows half of the flash sales by default and you have to click to expand the list to the full 30. I've probably missed a bunch of game because of that. Oh well, at least I noticed Jazzpunk on sale today, I've been meaning to get that at a good price.
You know how in Lords of Shadow 2 you are
dracula
Doesn't happen til the end. You actually spend the game
getting your powers back.
But, if you really want to play the game, check uneven. I was able to get lords of shadow 1 and 2 and mirrors of fate for about $15 earlier this year.

First day actually something to buy.
Good to know, thanks.
Ori was only released 3 months ago. 40% is very generous. That is as good as it will ever get unless a game tanked in sales or something.

The DLC not being on sale for Origins is a damn mess
I really liked Cold Cold Heart, picked it up in the Batman sale a few weeks ago for a few £. I recommended it to my friend but when the base game is £3.74 the DLC which is about 1-2 hours being £7 doesn't make much sense.

It was 40% yesterday, I think? I mean, SotFS.
The sale is solid, you just want things that aren't within your price quota.
It's good to have a realistic budget, but that doesn't mean this is a lackluster sale by any stretch of the imagination.
In fact, it's one of the best sales in years. Valve has obviously been listening to the laundry list of criticisms from the last few sales.
The flash sales not being displayed are those that are about to expire. The reality is, you most likely didn't miss anything.
