STEAM!

[Deraldin]

Oh deeer. Thanks. TBH, I had enough trouble just thinking of five. :D

 

Since you only win the top 5 it doesn't really matter what you have to make up the remainder. Just remember to reorder your wishlist appropriately after adding the remaining 5 as Steam places the most recent additions at the top of the list.

Yeah. Too bad I need to have the Steam app installed to remove/edit order of items in the wishlist. Can't do that here from the o®if(f)ice, so it would be pretty insulting if I won my "top 5" now. :D

I decided to try out the Mount and Blade double pack for $10 and World of Goo for $2.50. Downloading right now. I'm hopeful for Mount and Blade, but two games for 10 bucks? I figure it's well worth the risk. ...And World of Goo has a 90% metacritic rating. I pay almost twice as much for a damned coffee drink. Even if I play a few hours of WoG, it's worth it.

 

 

world of goo is absolutely awesome and WELL worth completing. It's got some really fantastic existential moments that make it one of my favorite games of the last few years.

Is Metro 2033 worth 7,5 E. I heard someone here say it was crap.

[Purkake]

It's short-ish and highly scripted, think and Eastern-European CoD4 minus the multiplayer.

 

Oh and it's really really pretty and very atmospheric.

So, all of the good, none of the bad?

It has a few bugs more than CoD4, but it's generally more polished than most Eastern-European games. The story is about as nonsensical as CoD as well, unless you've read the book(s).

 

From an uneducated point of view, imagine the STALKER team getting stopped half way through and told to make it more like CoD4. That's what it reminded me of.

i was excited about metro 2033 but ultimately found it dissappointing. its not a BAD game, just suffers from poor pacing/boring combat. its like if STALKER was a corridor shooter. great atmosphere, some cool ideas, but just not very much fun to play.

[Starwars]

I thought the gameplay was alright as soon as you accepted the linearity of it. But the real winner is definitely the atmosphere which I think is about the best I've seen in terms of post-apocalyptic games. It's very oppressive stuff, I'll never forget heading up into Moscow for the first time.

 

For 7.50, I'd definitely say it's worth it.

[SadExchange]

I have to say that I enjoyed it for the entire campaign, but I also read the book previous to playing it, and could imagine what the developers were trying to construct and the atmosphere they were trying to create. If anything, read the book.

[Tale]

I started playing it, liking it, but not loving it. I quit and am deciding to restart now that I find out there's vague stuff you have to do to get a specific ending. Terrific.

Oh. My. God.

I think if you sent an email to customer support you might be able to get that changed, but *shrugs*

[Orchomene]

In most countries, you have three days to reject a buying contract. So you should get a refund. Otherwise, you can just call your bank and block the transaction.

[Bendu]

According to Steams refund policy, you have a problem.

[Guest Slinky]

I want a refund.

Oh hell

 

I'd say if you e-mail them, they will respond with a direct quote from some contract paper: "NO REFUNDS, have a nice day!"

 

Enjoy your wast collection of fantastic SW games.

 

Edit: Right, Bendu confirmed it.

World of Goo is awesome.

[Gorgon]

So you lost 90E and you didn't even get KOTOR

But I don't even like Star Wars..

[Deadly_Nightshade]

They still sometimes give refunds, particularly in cases such as this one where there was clearly a mistaken purchase. Still, I wouldn't trust them to actually do anything and you're likely out of luck.

Well, I hope you immediately wrote to them with your problem, instead of whining about it on a forum for a day or two. Your 'honest mistake' argument will be less believable for every second that passes.
