What have you guys bought so far?

After having bought a few games that I don't play, I decided to not buy any games over $10 anymore to no have any regrets. So far I got the following:

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - $9.99
Borderlands 2 - $10.19

I'm going to buy Torchlight II for $4.99 in a few minutes (Community's Choice).

So far:

Bioshock Infinite
The Walking Dead
Might & Magic Heroes VI
Deadlight

My list of Games to Play is getting larger and larger. Buying FF7 on the PC last week didn't help, either. I doubt I can clear it before the next gen consoles come out...

The Swapper - Very cool game so far and more than just a little creepy when you think about the game mechanic
---------
Mirror's Edge
Natural Selection 2
---------
Antichamber - fucking cool and fucking weird
---------
FTL
---------
The Cave
Dragons Lair - doesn't seem to work out of the box in windows 8
----------
Thomas Was Alone
Chaos on Deponia - Deponia was great, hopefully the sequel is too

Played this for a while. I think Donny or Memph0 was raving about it a few months back. Got a bit bored, but maybe I just didn't give it enough time. It's well made. Interesting skills and items too. Give it a whirl.

Gifted a few copies of FTL to try and enthuse friends into games more (and to get them use steam) and also picked up Hitman for a fiver. Tempted by Borderlands too. Bioshock is still a little dear.

I've been a bit disappointed there's been no Developer Bundles so far too.

See game I want to play on sale. Yay!
Click on game so I can add to cart.
"You already own this game. Play Now."
Realize I spend too much money on games I don't actually play.

I bought a whole bunch that I'll never have time to play:

Resident Evil 6
Walking Dead
Ace Combat Assault Horizon
Doom 3 BFG
Hitman Absolution
Street Fighter X Tekken
Skyrim Dragonborn DLC (haven't even started the vampire one)

Others like Max Payne 3 and the Tomb Raider collection I've already beaten but wanted to add to my Steam collection. Also bought Mortal Kombat although I have it on Xbox.

Same here, although I was tempted by the Deus Ex: HR sale (for €2,48 I think) but I'm already too late for that now. Was thinking about the Doom 3 BFG edition but at 18 euros it's still a bit steep for a nearly 9 year old game

I have an extra copy of Terraria if anyone wants it. Not a big fan but it was stupid cheap to just buy a 4 pack awhile ago.

Surgeon Simulator 2013, 3.39 or something. Still holding out for a huge discount on some version of Skyrim. Legendary Edition was 35 on the first day, but I know they can do better than that.

Is FarCry 3 worth it? I played the first game and thought it was ok, didn't play 2.

I'm playing Far Cry 3 on my XBox now and I think it's an absolutely fantastic game. Far Cry 2 was okay-ish, but had a number of issues that prevented the game from being truly enjoyable, so I never got really far with that. Far Cry 3 basically solves all these issues (and goes back to the tropical island setting instead of rural Africa) and is just generally mad fun to play. I must say that while FC2 and FC3 show a large number of similarities, they make FC1 look like the odd duck because FC1 is quite a different game from FC2 and FC3.

I think it's €18 on Steam right now? Seems a bit steep for a Steam summer sale though, especially considering I bought it through an XBox Games on Demand sale for €10 three weeks ago. But all in all, I'd say the game is well worth it's 18 euros. It's up to you to make the guess about holding out in hopes of it dropping even further in price.

Far Cry 3 is basically Skyrim...that's why it owns so hard.

And why wait for a sale to play Skyrim? Only a waffling douchebag would wait for the price to come down on the greatest video game ever made.

Skyrim Legendary Edition still 35. Vanilla Skyrim is 20. Nope. Game is almost two years old. Fuck off with those prices, this is the Summer Sale. (yes, this is how spoiled I've become, due to this event)

lol you realize that neither of those versions include the hundreds of downloadable mods, missions, characters, followers, quests, items, weapons and just about an entire other game you can get free from the Online Workshop? Cheap cunt.

I actually hope you don't buy it, just so you'll be deprived of an awesome gaming experience...cause yer a stupid fag. :up:

Eh... It's a gorgeous world, sure. But my god the combat is abysmal. It really ruined the game for me. It's just so awkward and clunky. Granted, I can't think of another first person game I've played with melee combat in years, so I can't really recommend a better system. Maybe they're all this shit?

Plus, the crafting and economy in the game is annoying and time consuming. Really all this game was for me is Nature Simulator 2011.
