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

All this Ass Creed talk, really wish that franchise would go into hibernation so we could get Prince of Persia back.

hmm are the DLCs worth it?
seem pretty interesting

I don't think the DLC modes are that active anymore. Unless you have multiple friends to play it with.

RE6 single player is fine but playing it with another friend is much better and more fun (like with RE5 too)

I see - thanks
guess I'll be getting it

it's no longer a scare-you-in-the-face kinda game anymore right?
more like a gore-ish action game?

Jump scares ruin games for me because I'm a pansy and I hate being scared. I really wish I enjoyed it like some people do but for me it just makes me annoyed/mad. I end up watching LPs of horror games that I miss because I'm a wuss.

Holy crap the Talos Principle is absolutely amazing, you guys definitely need to pick it up if you missed it on daily and it goes on encore. This is easily the best first person puzzle game I've played since Portal 2.

Talk about a steal at $13.59


This can't be said enough.

Talos is one of the greatest hidden gems of this gen.

Parts of Leon's campaign evoke old-school creepiness. Everyone else's is more or less what you described.

Eh...

Bio6 should've been:

Leon 1
Leon 2 (still in the city, IIRC?)
Jake 3 (Lab, replacing the two with Leon or just making Leon's campaign those two's)
Leon 6

Fin.

Expand outwards from China and the US's outbreak. Everything else was AWFUL.

Bio6's only saving grace otherwise? Mercenaries. But that alone isn't worth the $30-60 Capcom got from me.

I can't believe people seriously think Leon has the best campaign. The combat encounters in his campaign are awful, by virtue of being mostly limited to zombies. Chris' campaign is so much better.

Okay, from the Resident Evil deals --- Do I want RE:Revelations, RE:6 or RE:Revelations 2?

I've played the first 5 and the REmake. I really know nothing about the rest...

edit: I'm concerned with single player content/story as opposed to co-op.
 
Wow, you people really want me to spend my $10 on Shovel Knight, don't you?

I absolutely love the game but I did have an excess amount of cash when I bought it during the winter sale.

Now if I was looking to buy it this summer where my funds are limited right now and I had to choose between it or spending $5 more for Wolfenstein:TNO or Homeworld Remastered than I would probably pick the latter two.

...Which is a good thing. For the series... called Biohazard.

Chris' campaign is so much better.

Sure, if you want Gears of Evil. I don't. Oh and STUNLOCK: The Movie: The Game. Get shot on Pro? GOOD LUCK GETTING OUT OF THE GROUND ROLL!
 
i'm not even entertaining the thought of 100 mill.

maybe 1 mill if the game continues until the end of the sale.

for now i will just stick to passing my last total and maybe going 150k this round.

Not really true. I joined a refresh game less than 30min ago and already in the 4mil range and will likely hit the 100mil.

Correct. An hour in and we're nearly 5million. You just need to go to the correct channel and know the room number/etc ahead of time and be in a coordinated team.

I get the feeling people only think Leon has the best campaign because on a surface level it's closer in style to earlier RE games, but I think the other campaigns are better because they're better suited to what RE6 actually is.

I was able to use the code the other day. Did you type it or copy and paste? Note that it's PERCNT, not PERCENT.
It works fine now. Weird, I just copy pasted the code from their front page. Anyway, thank you! €2,40 for Spec Ops: The Line is a nice deal.

Today is the final day for fresh deals, I think. Other days are encore days.
Do all Flash and Daily sales come back or just the ones that were most popular? I think I might have missed a game or two that I still want to get.

hmm is Batman: Arkham Origins ever getting a GOTY version of sorts?
or is it safe to just buy it + Season Pass now?
but dang :/ the lack of sale on Season Pass

I'm thinking of
RE4HD
RE6

any thoughts guys?

and that Ultimate General: Gettysburg

Nah, you got enough to play.
 
So in 14h will the encore sale start? or are we already seeing the encore sales?

Which games go on the encore sales? Everything that was on sale for the past few days? or the just the popular ones?

Have not been able to add a single game to my Steam cart in several hours. Have logged out without luck. Anyone else having troubles?

Edit: cleared my browser settings and everything works, now. Odd.

Welp, I was waiting for Fallout 3 to go on a bigger sale and today it did so I bought it. After the long download I finally installed it, and it crashes to the desktop when I start a new game in Windows 7. Now I'm editing .ini files. This is why I quit PC gaming 10+ years ago.

I KNOW, I don't understand why people like Leon's campaign and think the others are terrible. Leon is my favorite RE character, while I enjoy the action-RE's, horror is my life passion. However, Leon's campaign was the worst of the four to me. Forced walking sessions, weird pacing, lack of enemy variety, more full of QTEs than the other campaigns, more scripted moments than the other campaigns, less interesting environments, the worst boss fights...

I appreciate some of the moments in Leon's campaign, but it is not 'a return to horror' or the direction I want to see RE go in, and it was plagued with more problems than any other campaign, in my opinion.

THIS SAID, I think RE6 is worth playing, and I think the chronological order I put the games in is a good way to experience it.

Must be a divine intervention. Ask for a refund and buy New Vegas instead.

Playing through Risen 3 now. Seems like a really solid game with a new sarcastic asshole protagonist, the usual jank and a beautiful world.

And this is why I posted what I did. It's honestly bethesda's fault, and not PC gaming in general. That shit is buggy simply because modern hardware is too advanced for the game engine.

I recommend doing this first http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2722281
