Agreed except I don't have XCOM2 yet and I liked FO4. The "non-option fluff" of DA:I was just in the system of needing to have done a threshold number of side quests before being able to proceed with the main quest. The threshold is super low, in my opinion. So if you hate running around finding X number of things, you're not forced into that. Just skip it and do one of the side quests that bring you to more interesting places.
I think this is the year I went full AAA. I'm almost always starry-eyed over so many indie games that my GOTY vote is dominated, but not as much this year.
But I still don't know how I feel about Dishonored 2. Currently, feeling a little on the ehhhh side... and I was a pretty big fan of the first game and DLCs.

I had some trouble following the first comment as well, but the second one specifically did the trick for me:
Thank you

I buy every humble BTA by default but even I couldn't justify spending a little more than 2 bucks on that bundlestar thing.

Haha, the slippers are cute.
If you're going to get it, just go for the GOTY edition because the DLCs add so much lore to the game and they are actually good. Also kinda sleazy but the "epilogue" to the game which ties into the plot of Dragon Age 4 is in the DLC.
The game is actually really good but you have to learn not to do all the sidequests all at once because that's how you get burned out and bored. You can just do a minimum to get to the minimum level/influence to unlock the main story quest and then just do those. People who say DA:I is bad is like saying Witcher 3 is bad because they only go after the non-main story stuff.

Sims 3 is supposedly way better.
But it looks atrocious.
That's how I felt about Origin for awhile, but it's actually ok. Now I refuse to install any other launchers, haha.
Yes it is.
The tabulae are optional. (But the backstory they tell is damn great). To continue you'll need to
explore the ocean
shoot the arrow with the bow against a certain object there. (Yes, you can equip it like a weapon)

As a game? I disagree. It has more features (if you have the expansions) but Sims 4 has a lot more actual game to it. The emotion mechanic drives interactions in a cool way and it looks really good too.
In terms of customisation, both pale in comparison to Sims 2... but that has a host of technical problems that makes it kind of unplayable these days.
Saints Row IV also got / is getting workshop support, which came out of no where. Indeed:

Rocket League just keeps on delivering.
Despite having two absolutely awful randoms playing with me today, the other matches were just really nice.
Hope it does

Yeah i have almost all of them, but i explored the game a LOT and i don't think i have the patience to go back to find the rest
btw
yeah i found that out after i posted, i love games that make an ~apparently useless object to be actually a weapon or something really cool, it was a nice "setpiece"
i wanted the newer, better looking one
don't know when i'll dig into it. Hitman has me captivated.
it's starting to get out of hand - the uplay steep beta was a bridge too far

Agreed. And you can't sort games by discount or price, nor can you filter by discount anywhere that I've found. On the other hand, the permanently visible add-to-cart button is a nice touch.
Yeah, their old layout was so much better, no idea what they thought with this.
It's not entirely out of nowhere, Volition devs have been hanging out at saintsrowmods site for quite a while now posting about this. But I guess they didn't advertise it in case it all fell through in the end. It's been so slow to progress that I thought that maybe it had.
I think I probably said this when I was following it more closely sometime early 2015 (time flies), but I had hopes that the modding tools would eventually be comprehensive enough that someone with enough time and dedication could mod SR2 into SR4, make a total conversion essentially. Looking at them now, it seems like the tools are limited to guns and customization, at least for the time being.
Still cool.

Since the Valve Store partnered with We Love Fine the quality of everything I've got from them has been crap. The tshirt had a seam come apart and the print on all the pint glasses started to smudge and wear away after a couple uses.

Origin added a wishlist. LOL I wanted this long ago to get alerts on deals.
Lego City Undercover looks quite nice. Can't wait.

why did Origin add a wishlist if the only game they have is Titanfall 2
Andromeda! Not the Kevin Sorbo show, though.
