I'd honestly say that Crysis 3 is worth running through once just to muck around with the bow. It's a lot of fun, though not viable in every situation the game throws at you.
No worries.

Thanks for World War 3
Red Faction: Armageddon's decent enough fun (just finished it recently), but there are definitely games in that backlog that are worth playing first.
Crysis 2, I really wanted to like. Unfortunately, I couldn't get very far into it before I lost interest. : / I'm going to have to try going back to it at some point.
Honestly, not worth going back to Crysis 2. Its one of those games that I forced myself to finish and I really shouldn't have.
Running it at Ultra with Maldo textures as a visual showpiece of PC gaming is fine, actually beating the game is a lesson in disappointment. Especially after the potential of the original titles.

I have purchased a 3 pack of tracmania2 valley and split it with a friend, but I still have one copy available. It brings the price down to $8.33. Message me if interested. If not, I'm taking it to the B/S/T thread.
Out of that entire list, you should make an effort to play Serious Sam 3. Game is a ton of fun, very fast-paced, and escalates quickly. It's the most intense shooter I've played in a while.
Found another spare key.

Why would you say such a thing? JC2 is an unmissable experience. Decado, even if you don't finish it, you should set aside a few hours to muck about in it at some point.
Gee, my first SteamGAF post is so confrontational. I feel like such a douche

Ahh I see, so essentially we're paying for it to be "official"?
I agree...JC2 is worth playing for at least 3-4 hours (the first 30 mins is a tutorial so race through that and get to the open world stuff!). Download the black market spawn mod and spawn whatever for FREE and mess around!! Jets are pretty fun!
The campaign is so repetivie and derivitave is why I brought that up. Sure, muck around in the game for a few hours like jwtsonga said, but beating the game? Probably won't recommend it unless you are truly enjoying the experience.
Just Cause 2 Multiplayer is just amazing though. http://www.jc-mp.com/
When you can get people to work together to do all sorts of crazy stunts,t hat's when it really becomes a must-play experience in my opinion.

Pretty much. Forgotten Empires itself isn't compatible with Age 2 HD, and considering just how much work into the mod, not to mention how much content it adds, $10 for an HD flavour is more than reasonable.

Crytek seems like such an incredible waste of amazing talent.

I think you are pretty spot on. I'll go as far as to say JC2 is best enjoyed in gif form

JC2's ending is pretty incredible, but other than that the main mission is kinda lame.
Thaaaank uuu
It suffers from the same issue most open world games do, repetition.
And that repetitiveness involve killing bullet sponge enemies, it's tedious as hell.

They should stick to developing engines, not games.
They already do! Some reason no one uses those engines D:

Some game devs do use Cryengines.
I've never played one that does or look as pretty as crysis
I wish they'd make a rambo game or something on Cryengine.
Thanks for the RTS goodness, Jase - cheers mate.
Enjoy.
Arkane's next game is apparently using CryEngine (presumably CryEngine 3), but we don't know if it's a Dishonored sequel.

So after playing a ton of Spelunky I got around to finishing The Swapper and thought I'd leave some impressions.
It can be kind of a slow burn at first but overall this game is freaking amazing. It's easily a candidate for my personal goty. The puzzles are extremely well thought out, I finished the game without using online help despite having a few instances of being frustrated of trying to figure out a few puzzles towards the end.
The atmosphere is simply awesome in how it makes you feel so isolated, which makes it surprising that it can tell a captivating story so well.
I don't want to ruin things but the game also mixes things up a bit with a few zero gravity exploration segments that are simply breathtaking.
I really haven't been this engaged in a game like this since Limbo, I would dare say that I enjoyed it even more than Limbo despite the fact the two have vast differences but some similarities.
Sorry if I'm being redundant, it's difficult not to say much without spoiling the game.

Star Citizen is using CryEngine and so is Ryse (console, I know).

Both Crysis 2 and 3 are some of the better, more open FPS games released recently. Not at all CoD style hallways. Says a lot about linearity this gen I suppose, but still. Both have wide open environments with far more verticality than most other shooters. Compared to the first game it can be disappointing but they're still fun games.
Will be interesting to see what others do with Cryengine, seems to be garnering a lot of support lately. Believe that new Chinese Room game is using it as well which hasn't been mentioned above.

Well, I have only played C2, can't say about C3. C2 is not all that linear, but it lacked something, I don't know, maybe fun? It's just doesn't feel right, like an empty shell with no soul, boring.
yeah same lol. avatars look similar (the angle and lighting etc.)
and regarding the crysis 2 vs 3: I liked 3 better because it actually held my interest and the bow was FUN. crysis 2 wasnt that fun and felt very 'sterile' for some reason. I actually feel that having a shorter campaign also helped crysis 3. And of course the graphics are amazing (even on low settings)
well my 60 hour adventure in the world of shin megami tensei nocturne is finally over
amazing game, really glad I finally made some time to play it
now what the hell do I play... this I got installed, might as well try one of these out...
prolly another new vegas playthrough... I need those GRA achievements

Just noticed it
Sorry everybody. When I passed through my post again right now I even thought "Why am I giving away the Breakout if I don't have it?"I had just written Edna & Harvey, then I remembered there are two, but I wrote the wrong subtitle...

Ah I see.
I swear JaseC avatar is a gif. It feels like it literally changes before my eyes.
I think Crytek kind of forced themselves to finish the campaign as the whole last 2 areas were a joke.

Thanks people for putting up foils for super cheap prices (< 1) for brand new games. Does this happen a lot? Never staked out a game's card market before, but saw a couple of cheap foils yesterday with no competition in the market. My assumption would be they had no idea what a foil was, because I manage to grab them for about the same price as a standard card would go for.

Yeah, but it might take a long time to sell them for more.
Friend of mine bought a Dualshock 4 early and was nice enough to let me steal it away for a bit to try some PC gaming with it.
It's a fantastic controller, the analogs feel great and the improved L2 and R2 buttons are godly for racing games, in particular Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. So good.

Well, sure, that goes without saying, especially if there's not even a complete set out yet, But still, unless it gets too crowded with foils of the same kind it's not impossible to sell it for 5-10 in the first few days. Possibly a lot more, but you don't want to risk scaring away the customers.
