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

This mini-game is irritating me so much. The DPS changes like crazy which may be down to people stopping playing but then the health of an enemy just won't change for like 10 seconds, even if I am doing 3,000 per click on my own.

Currently stuck on Level 20 with an endless respawn of tanky bosses. Should I just restart? I still don't get what this game does to benefit anything. You get gold to get upgrades.. then what?
I'm under the impression that it's just a good amount of lag. I'll do easily 50k dmg very quickly and like you, it shows nothing. Then like 5+ seconds later, that 50k quickly disappears.

MGS Ground zero @ $9.99 is the cheapest I've ever seen on PC. Had to jumnp on it as I have been waiting a long time for it to drop.

Why is this so difficult for people?

I think I got it for $6 or less a while back on Nuuvem. Since it hasn't been a daily/flash deal yet, there's always a good chance it will be discounted more later in the sale. But at least it's only a few dollars of a difference.

It's lagging behind because too many people are playing and the servers are overloaded. When enough people progress it unlocks flash deals for tomorrow.

Yeah it's definitely lagging like crazy.

I just read the FAQ thing and if it's just slowly unlocking random game discounts I probably won't care about I won't bother with it xD

I've only picked up Grow Home so far (I doubt it will get any lower price wise this sale, plus it is super cheap at the moment anyway) and played it for an hour or so. Really love the aesthetics! Nice fun little game

Unfinished games shouldn't be on the featured sales page IMO.
9 out of 10 times the early access games that get featured in the big sales events are not scams, so you're safe.

Wanted to buy DS2:SOTFS but this is stupid. I own the DX9 version and its $23.99 to upgrade, yet its $24.99 for the full game.
Yeah, it's stupid. I'm waiting to see if they drop the price much more later on. The upgrade is just a special discount to your account, if the msrp price goes on sale cheaper than it, it would be worth picking up. Otherwise it's probably just smarter to buy it off sale time when you want to actually play it.

Hm. I want Viscera Cleanup Detail, but 33% seems kind of "lite" for a full-on Steam Sale. But, as it's a Flash Deal, I'm thinking it's not likely to go lower... Should I go ahead and bite?
 
i knew i should have sold my mystery foil card when it was selling for $2. but no i had to greedy and hope for $5. now they're selling for under a dollar.

Viscera has been a part of a lot of cheap indie bundles, and probably will be again. Where I got mine.

So yeah, don't close the game. Just be careful when clicking 'Close Game' in the lower right. I left 10mins ago and can't get back into my group. Level and gold still show as they should but I'm just looking at empty lanes.

Not sure if I can fairly generalize it to the larger game experience, but the Shadow Warrior bonus game was an insulting waste of time to play.

Stay on the TV screen and it will pop in eventually, dat lag.

Some cheap impulse buys I'm looking at:

Halfway - $6.49
Door Kickers - $7.99
Xeodrifter - $3.39
Half Minute Hero Bundle - $2.49
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Directors Cut - $2.49

And maybe Telepath Tactics at $11.24, just because I like the genre and would be happy to support the dev.

Anyone have any imrpessions?

Xeodrifter was my first Steam refund last week....It was boring as hell and empty, plus you can tell it was made for a portable screen with the huge pixels. Just didn't feel right and the controls were too 'jumpy'. Get Ziggurat instead.

I should've jumped on Enemy Within when it was $7.50 on Amazon the other day.

I wanted to wait for the summer sale so I could use my wallet funds instead. As usual however, the DLC is more expensive then the bundle. Should've seen that coming.

Evil Within is so hit and miss with people.

You either love it or find it mediocre, the vast amount of people on GAF seem to have found it mediocre. I fall into that camp.

Lol knowing what, and when to buy its like a game in itself... D;
So skip those that say summer, and buy daily is the way to go according to most.
Most of the games I want are summer sales, with only 6 daily.
I'm going to kick myself if Jade Empire, RE, and Dead Space don't show up in the later days. :x

This is just so depressing; truly the end of an era. I'm buying DSII when it drops, but I think I'm done with these sales after this. I've got almost everything I've ever wanted except for the newest hits that will take years to drop. Any more, the random weekend deals are as good as these offerings.

At least the GOG sale has been decent.

It's only been the first day...

Watching this thread to see who is wasting money on games that aren't dailies or flashes is the most amusing part of this sale.

listen to the mad man
Stay in the same lane and let the game running for a while and it will come back. It did this to me too. It's lagging heavily.

I will try this, but I've been waiting a while and I can't seem to find any evidence that any other teams have broken past level 50 so ...
