Steam Summer Sale 2015

[.Rarity]

I did get the Minigame working, although it was more like "I waited till it decided to work"
Still, didn't have much problems afterwards though I seem to be stuck around Lv 320. I have no idea how one of my friends managed to get around to Lv 2410.

So far I only bought Hatoful Boyfriend for a friend, and I picked up the newest DLC for 100% Orange Juice. The two new characters are really fun, though it would be neat if they can somehow make new original characters (Might not fit, but hey at least they can possibly make a really unique playstyle with it.)

After the first day, you should have earned a lot of badge points. Even level 320 will get you 32 of them. Use these to buy raining gold (10BP) and treasure (2BP). Use treasure for a quick 100k and raining gold on bosses to earn tons of money.

If enough people in your lanes are doing that you'll fly through levels. All you need to do is boost your health, auto-cannons and boss loot, then leave it and let everyone else destroy everything.

I was happy enough to get over level 1000. Now I just periodically reset myself into a new game to make sure I'm getting the cards for playing.

I was all ready to get with some hot female doves. I didn't realise you were a girl trying to chat up boy birds until after I started, complete turn-off. Played through it once and was done.

I got hotline miami. Why did it take me so long to play these games!?

[Poison-]

Also, if you've never played Plants vs. Zombies, go buy it right now. It's literally a dollar. Such a good game.

[FoJaR]

things i got so far:

binding of isaac rebirth
long live the queen
knights of pen and paper
pixel heroes

i'm mainly focusing on games i can play on my shitty laptop while i watch TV.

if anyone has any recommendations along those lines, i'm all ears.

[Kraezymann]

Considering getting Grim Fandango. Never played the game, always wanted to.

Also considering Invisible, Inc., Black Mesa, TALOS Principle and maybe anything else that catches my eye. The thing is I'm for the summer sale I'm only using what I currently have in my Steam wallet, so I only have about $50 to spend total. Was really hoping to get a better deal for GTAV but after the little stunt R* has pulled I think I'll wait.

I also want to try a 4X game. Something like Sins of a Solar Empire. I've read about it, and always wanted to try it, but never bothered to buy it. It doesn't necessarily have to be SoaSE but I really enjoy Sci-Fi and space exploration, so if anyone has some ideas about easy stuff to get into that'd be wonderful

What did they do?

It is. I generally dislike tower defence games but PvZ is awesome. It was also made by PopCap before EA bought them and raped their soul until it was nothing but an empty husk.

Haven't played Pixel Heroes but the other three are good picks. I was surprised by how much fun I had with Knights Of Pen And Paper (put 12 hours into it).

I've played the original and loved it. If you like point and click games it's up there as one of the best.

At the start you couldn't buy the game by itself, you had to buy it as part of a bundle with either Max Payne 3 or worthless multiplayer money. If you bought it with the money and went online and used it, you were no longer eligible for a steam refund. When it did become available by itself, RockStar had raised the price before the sale so that buying GTAV by itself was the same as paying full price before the sale.

That doesn't seem like a big deal. They aren't obligated to give people a discount on the game. Also who buys games, then plays them and expects to be refunded?

If you don't have it already, pick up Hotline Miami; minimalistic graphics but it plays like Contra except top down and not side scrolling. Also the storyline is cool along with masks, weapons, and the secret puzzle.

Bought borderlands pre-sequel. I've heard it isn't as good and the DLC is lacking, but I'd like to play through it at least once for the story. $25 instead of $50 + $20 seems fine to me.

It would be fine if they just sold the game as is and said 'we're not discounting it', but to raise the price and then try to claim that it's '30% off' is a dick move.

It's the worst of the three in my opinion. I played through 1 and 2 co-op, then played the game of the year editions with all the DLC by myself (another 59 hours on 1 and 76 hours on 2 according to steam). After finishing the pre-sequel co-op, I had zero interest in getting the game of the year edition to play by myself.

Krieg alone makes Borderlands 2 GOTY the best of the three.

Haven't bought anything yet this sale and tbh the only thing that I would really, really want is for If My Heart Had Wings to go lower because that VN is literally never on sale. Will pick it up at 50% off though if it doesn't go any lower.

Also, it's insane how big of a difference your teammates make on the monster summer game. Day 1 our group got to like level 350, day 2 was around 175 or so, and today the group I'm in is sitting at around level 1,850 right now. Would be neat to crack 2k just for the profile badge.

10 am edit: They're at like level 2,750 now lmao.

[TheRapingDragon]

Just noticed that Antichamber is there for £1.50 (~$2.50). To anyone who enjoys puzzle games, I'd highly recommend it. One of the best puzzle games I've played in recent years.

EDIT: And Deadly Premonition is only £2 (~$3). Sure it's a broken mess but I loved it. Probably the closest you'll ever get to playing Twin Peaks: The Video Game.

[.Gazelle.]

Bought Antichamber last night, deus ex collection is like 6 dollars, should i get it?

[.Gazelle.]

also picking up portal bundle, never finished the first one

[Reincarnate]

Deus Ex is always worth getting if you have yet to play it

[VisD]

Just picked up The Talos Principle, excited to try it. Bought and devoured Portal 2; not that engaged by Antichamber yet, but it was like 2 bucks and still pretty interesting all things considered (about 30 minutes in).

Still waiting for spore lmao

Seconded.

Note to interested parties: you can probably skip Invisible War

Why? It's like one of the most disappointing games ever made.
