Since some kind soul posted for us in WHIYL and thus my wallet was opened, I figure we might as well have a thread about it. Where hopefully yall can talk me out of some purchases. I'm tempted by Rage for $10. However it's metacritic user score is almost as bad as ME3. I understand not living up to hype, but I'd like to hear from people who have played it (nuke?) if it's actually that terribad. Buying horrible games pisses me off, no matter how cheap they are. I'm still fuming about the $12 I spent on the PC port of Halo 2 (actually close to 20 after shipping). I already bought stalker, FEAR 3, and both bioshocks. FEAR I expect to be poor, but I'm kinda intrigued by the psychic powers thing and I was such a huge fan of the first generation of FEAR games. 2 even had its moments despite being disappointing on the whole. I have high hopes for the other 3 though.
And after delving back into steam for the first time since probably last summer, i was reminded i have the whole X/X2/X3 pack I haven't touched yet. And Red Faction II/Guerrilla. And Nexus that I haven't gone back to after getting pissed off at it. Or Fallout from GOG.
Son of a ***** why am I buying new games!? It's even worse now that I have a meaningful amount of disposable income. I've even been trying to convince myself to either replace my 6950 or get a second one for crossfire. SOMEONE SAVE ME.
.... So yeah, Steam summer sale. Share opinions on games/post the sneaky hidden deals on good games here. KOTOR for $2.49 for the next 20-odd hours.
