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

I waited till the encore sales and glad I did. This way I don't make any will impulse purchases. Grabbed:

Wolfenstein & Old blood
Metro redux
MGS Ground Zeroes
PCars DLC
Lords of the Fallen DLC
Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Was tempted by Far Cry 4 and Dirt: Rally but realistically they will be cheaper in the next sale and I have enough on my plate at the moment in those genres at the moment anyway so probably wouldn't have played them for a while.
 
Should I jump on Dark Souls II Scholars of the First Sin at $25 or wait until the very end of the sale to see if it goes any lower? $25 is my ceiling.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Guys if you like shmups check out Hangeki on sale for $5. It's a modern twist on Space Invaders, incredibly high octane and satisfying to rush through. Lots of weapons to unlock and quite addictive.

Co-signed, it is so fun and so much deeper than I ever imagined it would be. Everyone should definitely pick it if you don't have it.

I can't believe it either One Finger Death Punch is so fun and so addicting...I keep saying one more stage...one more....one more....so good.
 
All I really wanted was the DS2 DLC. Oh well. I guess Valkyria Chronicles and Hatoful Boyfriend will have to do. I feel like the discounts on some of the GOTY editions of games were no better than last year's deals.

I know there's not going to be any new deals tomorrow, but is there a chance of there being a different set of repeats?

I passed on both the Anno games, not knowing that TAGES had been removed ;_;
 
I just bought Mount & Blade: Warband, and I noticed that it had Napoleonic Wars DLC for a $1.99. Has anyone here ever played M&B Warband - Napoleonic Wars? Is the multiplayer fun/Noob friendly, and does it still have an active community?

Bought New Vegas for $2.49. Never played it but a no brain-er.

I envy you. I'd love to be able to relive the beginnings of that game again, before I got jaded. Jaded by the hard and difficult life in the wasteland, and haunted by the people who were hurt by the bad choices I made...
 
After watching videos and reading the forums I went with Project Cars. Hope they patch that Pit bug soon. For now I'll just use the quick fix work around the time being. Game looks great and I love the track selection. Only game I went with on Steam for their sales. Trying not to buy so much nowdays,hate fat backlogs.

New Vegas was unlike anything I'd ever played. Was my first wrpg, and probably my favorite.

Played about 5 minutes of ground zeroes before my daughter wanted me to lay by her, game looks phenomenal, haven't played a metal gear since solid 3. Still holding out hope for a pc version of 4, as I'll never own a ps3.

Also played up to day 7 of don't starve. Dunno how to raise it, but my brain has shrunk and now I'm seeing stuff.
 
Seeing as I'm at the point where I've bought almost everything worthwhile in the genres I gravitate towards (character action games, beat-em-ups, fast-paced platformers, shumps, etc.), I only spent about $15 on this sale.

Megabyte Punch
Ikaruga (It's almost never on sale, so get it now or wait another year)
Killer is Dead
 
Still looking for opinions on TEW season pass.
DLCs are dramatically different from the main game. The first two are stealth based, but bring the game's plot into the forefront if you are interested in that. Worth it if you want understand the plot. However, if you wanted more of the main game, I would skip.

Third DLC is a janky, first person gorefest. Mostly Melee based. Mostly boss battles. Dumb fun.

Are The Evil Within expansions out?

Been all out since the end of May.

To batman or not to batman (all three games), that's the question... I keep getting a niggling feeling that their prices would go lower in the near future.

Am also torn between getting Fallout NV Ultimate or vanilla >.<

Thanks for the impressions. I'll pass and just keep this extra $8 in my account for winter.

Yes to all the Batman games. I mean, how much cheaper than 5 bucks are you hoping for them to get? If you haven't played any of them, at least buy Asylum to see if you will like the series.

Also, get Ultimate NV. The DLC is awesome and definitely worth $4.

Anyone know good racing games that will work with an xbox 360 controller without changing settings? I tried Project Cars before I got annoyed and refunded it.

Is The Forgotten expansion for AoE2 any good? Didn't even realize they did a new expansion until yesterday. Been playing this game since it came out.

I assume since it's now Encore Time, it'll be safe to jump on anything I was still holding out for correct?

Also I'd like to ask SteamGAF for an opinion, out of:

Which one should I get if I can only get 1 out of the 3?
Already getting the Blackwell Bundle + one of these and that's the extent of my funds for this sale.

My heart is telling me Randal's since it's the lowest it's ever been, and according to isthereanydeal both Jade and Valdis have been 75% off before on Steam. (17 months ago for Valdis lmao)
What do you guys think?

*insert obligatory*
>Volvo pls
>y u do dis
>discounts lower than before
>worst Steam sale ever

Oh shit, awesome! I literally just stopped playing Ori and the Blind Forest to call it a night, refreshed GAF one last time and saw the raffle with 50 seconds left. I've never sent a PM faster in my life

Thanks Dupy! Can't wait to try this one out!

Edit: Screw thanking over PM :p

So I got 15 $ on my Steam Wallet and I'm looking for a cool survival/building game like Terraria and Starbound that's more focused to single player than mp.

Any suggestions?

The Forest and The Long Dark are pretty good, not much crafting in the Long Dark but it does survival really well. Also Space/Medieval Engineers.

No problem! From what I played it was pretty good. I'm a big SP fan though.

Not exactly what you're looking for, I'm guessing, and I don't know how well you like simulations, but Banished is definitely about building and survival, and it's $5.
