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

Thanks! Though I have played amnesia thanks to the based humble bundles haha. I thought it was okay, though the setting did little for me. Penumbra broke me for a bit at a friends house. I'm told Ethan Carter is horrorish, but also a terrible game. I'm torn on that one

How many levels to explore does Jazzpunk have? I watched a quick run-through of the consulate level and love how it's like a playground of interactivity.

4 I think. It's short but hilarious

Nice think I'll make the jump. Are there any other games similar to it? I love playground games like this
I would probably wait had I known. Dirt rally plays really well, but it's incredibly bare bones and basically no career mode to speak of. It does have a number of tracks available now. Project cars is the better buy right now.

Could anyone tell me, for the older Tomb Raider games (anything before the reboot), which ones have controller support, or are fairly easy to get working with a wired 360 controller?

Thanks, I think I will wait for now. I hope they add a career mode at some point.
Pretty sure the Legend/Anniversary/Underworld trilogy all have native 360 controller support. I don't think anything before those do.

It's done as far as we know. Go for the pack, it's worth so much more.

After hearing the voiced pseudo-language I did that and then asked for a refund.

Thank you, Tizoc! I won The Silent Age from your awesome giveaway.
My early impressions:
The Silent Age looks fantastic visually - such a beautiful and unique artstyle - and it controls wonderfully and smoothly with either a mouse or an Xbox controller if you prefer that. I usually like controller support in my games, but it's not needed for this.
It is a point and click game. You pick up objects and use them, talk to people, interact with the environment - all of the usual staples of the genre.
The game begins in 1972 and it's yet another day of work for you. You have to meet your boss, and it goes from there.
I have no idea what's happening yet, but there's obviously something going on. I really like the mysterious atmosphere and sense of foreboding.
I can't wait to find out more...
Congrats mate, hope you like it. I played it and beat it on my iPhone and iPad and enjoyed it.
If anything it's a fun ride and its a great 'take a break game'.
You can mute the audio if you go to options IIRC.

Normally I'd ask this in the BST thread, but being so late in the day, and since the sale ends less than 10 hours, was hoping to find out, is there anyone here who has credit where they'd be willing to help me get a couple games at very small discount? Not looking to save much, but even a few more bucks would help.

Lol, better prepare myself then...
Wanted to say cheers for Strider from your giveaway too Tizoc. Really appreciated, thanks mate.

Congrats GAF, you convinced me to buy Ori
Coincidentally the only thing I bought this sale. Originally only wanted Dark Souls II SotFS, but well... They should have just had it at -33% the entire sale with a -50% daily if they didn't want to give a lower discount.
Probably wouldn't have bought it anyway, but at least my hopes wouldn't have been crushed day after day...
Anyway, I'm going to play Ori now.

That sucks. What FPS were you getting? I am getting 40 FPS with some minor custom tweaking.
That's a tight budget... Can't think of any metroidvanias with that money, but if 2D-platforming with some minor combat interests you, check out Battleblock Theater. Stamper's narration in that game is amazing!
Use advanced search on Steam. Don't type anything in the bar, hit enter. On the right side, look at the tags and hit "see all," > type it in the box > sort by price.
Idk how much Outland is in your EU store (since there's two and), but if you could scrounge up some card money, I've been enjoying it plenty.
If not, the game Wake should be good enough. It's 1.50 USD. Only ones I know off head. You may be able to find some in the indie hidden gems thread but I'm not sure of the price point, so I'd go with the advanced search option.
They may not have thought this through.
Yeah, I just turned all of those into gems.

Ori is actually really good. I expected it to be overhyped to some degree, but it controls fantastically well.
Probably my favourite non-Metroid non-Castlevania Metroidvania of all time
Consider giving Adv. of Pip a try, don't let its simple presentation fool you, it has some really good platforming in it.
It's on sale, but it's a new release and if you like platformers (Shovel KNight, etc.), def. give it a chance.

Same here. Was refunded for Project Cars. All sorts of buggy problems early on with this game,once I got some play time in....meh. Guess i overhyped myself for the game. Refunded within an hour but read the faqs, said it may take up to 6-7 days for it the refund to appear in my wallet. Atleast the money will appear later in the wallet so thats cool.

Anyone up for joining in a 2-pack of 7 Days to Die? Works out to ~ $8 apiece ($15.99 total)...
Seems to get solid reviews. Have had mixed feedback from GAFers in here...seems like it could be fun if you go in expecting it to have some issues as its still Early Access.
I'll try to check back before time runs out...looks like there's about 4 hours left in the sale....Cheers!

I already own Battleblock, but thanks for the suggestion.
Outland is 2 for me, maybe I can sell something to get it because it looks really good.
Wake seems interesting, but has really bad reviews, so maybe for another time.
I'll keep looking, thanks guys!

The only one that runs on DOS is the TR1, for the rest you can use xpadder, they're all digital controls anyway (not sure about Angle of Darkness). I know there's a solution for TR1 too though, but I haven't tried it myself.
Ok, ok, so i'll buy Ori, jeeeez
Glad i just got my bonus paycheck
I'm also thinking about Endless Legend, but i guess there's not much of a buzz about it.
I started Grim Fandango and my god, the music is amazingly beautiful in this game.
It really brings you back to a different time in gaming and cinema. This game oozes style and while I'm only two hours in, I can already see the differences in ambition, writing and quality compared to Broken Age.
Which isn't a bad game in any sense, I enjoy myself quite a lot playing it, but this one is simply in another league.
Edit: From the 50 cents from selling the last batch of cards, I got myself 'Praetorians' for 49 cents. A fantastic strategy title, that still looks surprisingly good and is more tactics than ressource management. I can't recommend it enough and only learned of it being on sale because it generated the least revenue on steamspy during the sale

My monster game room just went from level 670k to level 345k. How the hell did that happen?

My monster game, people are spamming all their abilities. We're at level 986k and going. I guess they're thirsty for that level 1,000,000 club.
Dude, yeah! That score is absolutely brilliant.
It is.
