Steam Summer Sale 2015 Official Whatcha Gonna Buy Thread

[fixbsod]

The first one MAYBE. Maybe as in yes it has much better graphics and lighting, but it also strips away some of the levels with less to explore, feels less gritty / tough and almost more consoly overall. I honestly feel like 2033 and 2033 redux are (almost) separate games with 2033 being a much better game with slightly worse graphics.

The 2nd one is definitely not worth it as there's not much improvement on the graphics.

Metro Reduxes worth it if I already have the originals? Do they add anything beyond graphical enhancements/using a new engine?

 

[irishScott]

Nothing for me in the first round. I own everything I want.

 

[PrincessFrosty]

what build are you guys doing for the rpg game? I might go for straight dps

I'm doing the "i can't play build" because once again steam mess up the sales by not allocating enough resources for the player base. You'd think they'd learn after about the 9th time this happened but I guess not.

I'm going to buy battleblock theater when I get home. I'm looking for more 3-4 player couch coop/multiplayer games. Any suggestions?

took a while but i got the monster killing game running on all my accounts. a bunch of restarting steam on each account before it would finally launch in browser.

since im going to be afk on most of the accounts, and i dont feel like lmb clicking and wearing out my button, i'm just leveling up the auto cannon.

if you really want to make bank in the game you have to join a game with a lot of people with the higher level abilities. the gold per click one is probably the best if you are going to actively play the clickfest. that and health if you are going afk. less time waiting for the 5 min autorespawn.

Nothing to buy. Finished Witcher 3 and V already. Maybe a level left in Dying Light. Played all the major AAA titles in 2014 and 2013 that interested me too. Meh.

I strongly recommend Alpha Protocol as a Z grade game. Utterly hilarious.

 

[xantub]

The best buys for the first round IMHO are Valkyria Chronicles and Metro.

 

[thehotsung8701A]

Does anyone know if green man gaming will have its own summer sale?


@xantub - I"m going to get both of those but I'm pretty sure 99% that I won't ever play it

You don't have to be playing the game for the rewards / gold as once you join each day as it will reset at 9 am you are getting the rewards even when it's closed.

Otherwise there is a cap of 1,000 people per group I believe it was and it places lower level people in the same group together so it's just best to join asap.

I;ve tried to play Alpha Protocol twice but the mini game for hacking just completely defeats me, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it.

 

[Tarvaln]

I can't even log in. I assume Steam now checks my bank account.

Towerfall asencion. Easy for all players. So much fun!

 

[Craig234]

Remastered Homeworld looks interesting. I barely started the original and didn't play enough to see that the game is like but it gets a lot of good reviews.

 

[JamesV]

That game is pretty stupid, and either bugged or broken.

Had $91K gold and a bunch of upgrades, resumed playing and now I'm back to $0 and all my upgrades were wiped.

The real issue though, is that any game I join or start, it's starts at level 20 (which it says I am, but I have no upgrades nor cash)... so every monster is 40,000+ health. Not fun doing 10 damage while dieing over and over.

And, I don't get anything when I try again an hour later. Earlier my guy would have more gold, but now every time I join it's a level 20 game with $0 and no upgrades; it never increases on it's own.

Yeah, that's our favorite on PC and gets about as much play-time as mariokart on Wii u. We Just want some alternatives

 

[lupi]

so, this game thing going on. Any idea WTF it is about and what we're supposed to do?

couldn't start a game early but managed to get in one with a friend, just checked and am almost to 200K gold but no clue what it going on.

 

[Genx87]

Cities Skyline and X-Plane 10 are tempting.

Edit:Bought them

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

i've been leveling up my autoclick also. it looks like you unlock new abilities the higher you get. i've also been trying to specialize in killing air monsters.

[edit] lol my guys is a total glass cannon

 

[futurefields]

All i get is

Error: There was a problem trying to join a game

 

[IGemini]

Somehow I keep forgetting the summer sale starts in June...

Got the Metro Redux. At $5/game I'll buy pretty much any (interesting) game like that. 2033 was interesting to play a couple years ago but the engine was already feeling dated.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I really don't get their minigame.

 

[chubbyfatazn]

Do all the upgrades you "buy" reset as well? Couldn't find anything on that.

As long as I get the cards so I can flip 'em, I'm good.

 

[Igo69]

damn Metro Last Light Redux is $6.24 that is hard to pass...

 

[Subyman]

I can't even open the steam mini game. I click play and it doesn't do anything. Got the card from it though. I'm guessing it is a java problem, but I don't care to troubleshoot.

Join a friend's game and it fixes the problem. That's how a friend and I managed to get it working.

I don't have any Java or JRE installed on my machine at all, so it shouldn't be Java.
