If you're getting Witcher 1, before you boot it up get the Full Combat Rebalance mod.  It fixes a lot of the complaints with the original's combat as well as some other stuff.

Does it redo the tutorial, for those of us who never played the original model?

Somewhat tempted by Skyrim (never played a TES game before), but I need a new huge timesink like I need several more holes in the head.  I've heard The Stanley Parable is a real piece of work too.

I've heard The Stanley Parable is a real piece of work too.

Yes. Very unique, surprising and thought provoking. And it's also very short, so if you're stuck for time, that might work for you as well.

i broke down and bought rocksmith 2014 due to 75% off sale, along with a **** ton of songs at 25% off.  i hate myself now, because i promised i would not buy it because other than having less input lag, it's inferior in almost every other way to the original game, and it has Uplay shoehorned in HARD.  i can't ****ing stand this **** with chopping up components of the game and tying them to a third party program and account i absolutely want no part of.

edit: something else i didn't consider fully before buying is now it's going to be a pain in the ass to restore a lot of the DLC to the legit version.  i bought almost $80 worth, but there are a few more i'd like to have back but not enough to buy at $3 a pop.  and i REFUSE to re-buy the original songs.

Is X rebirth worth it now that they have their 2.0 patch? Anybody played it?

[TrashMan]

Not yet. Wait some more.

Game is still SLOOOOOOOW. And I'm not talking about performance (altough it still could use improvmenets), but that some changes make traveling around far slower and more tedious than in X3.

Trade lanes are a LOT slower than jump gates. And are far harder to navigate. In X3, you open the map, take on glance at it and you instantly know how to get to somewhere and you can get there FAST.
In X:R? You're going to have to the use the plot course bottun and you're gonna have to navigate trough several map layers every time.

The economy is borked too b.t.w.

Bought some space games that I've been wanting to play for awhile (Striek Suit Zero and Sins+Expansion).

SSZ is... OK, so far, but not as pretty or fun as FSO, IMO.

[Klaustrophobia]

i noticed that there's a "director's cut" version of it now, and i keep seeing references to a $3 price for owners of the original, but haven't seen how to actually get it for that.  steam doesn't seem to be doing it on its own.

I'd really like to win the top three games on my wishlist.  Just sayin'...

SSZ is enjoyable, but is focused more on arcade action than the variety of mission design that TIE Fighter and FreeSpace had. So a very different type of game.

just got just cause 2.  is there any worth to buying and playing 1 first?

No.

No.

Agreed. In terms of gameplay, JC2 is better than JC1. And you don't play Just Cause games for the story.

Got Guacamelee: Gold Edition on flash sale for $3. That's edición de oro for serious luchadores like me.

[Mongoose]

They got me for Spec Ops (which I'm not even entirely sure I can run) and Gone Home today.  I'm at least under $15 for the whole sale, so that's something.

[TrashMan]

I have bought...NOTHING.

Because I have a will of steel. And balls to match.

GoG are now giving away a free game every few hours. No idea if Still Life 2 or Omerta : City of Gangsters are worth it, but hell, they're free so if I don't like them, all I've wasted is a little bit of time.
