TBH, I didn't really care for the expansions. So if you ask me only get the base game, as skirmish mode will keep you busy.
I'm sure others will disagree though
Sold.

If I like the base game enough, I'm sure the expansions will eventually be on sale again.

Report for flooding purposes and face saving:

I CHANGED THE MOSAIC

People are complaining that they didn't find their Avatar, so I made a couple changes and posted a log file along with it: You can now find your Avatar, as long as you know the name of the filename used for it.


EDIT:

Resized Mosaic:

Actual Size of the Mosaic:

Real-size mosaic (about 9 megs):

ALL AVATARS I MANAGED TO GRAB WERE USED. If you want to know where is your avatar, you need to know it's filename WITHOUT IT'S EXTENSION (right click your avatar and save it) and this list will tell you where it was used According to that report, my avatar (avatar_gaf.jpg) was only used once. All avatars were converted to .JPG.


No repeats Mosaic (if your avatar is not here, it wasn't used - I'm not sure why now):
No repeats Real Size:

Report of where each avatar was used on the no repeats mosaic: here According to the report, 1300 avatars were used.

It came out pretty nice. And I learned a little bit of Perl in the mean time. Always fun to program something stupid on a language you don't know.. :D

End damage list:

Morrowind GOTY
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
Alan Wake
Mark of the Ninja
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Torchlight 2
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition
SimCity 4 Deluxe
Dear Esther
The Witcher
The Witcher 2
Borderlands 2 + Season Pass
Antichamber
Endless Space + Disharmony
Super Meat Boy
Fez
The Walking Dead Episodes 1-5
Civilization V + Gods and Kings
Hotline Miami
Terraria
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
FTL

$147, or about the cost of two and a half full-priced console games. I could have saved about another $10-15 if I had waited for a couple things to be on sale, but I'm not bothered. I want to get Minecraft once my PC is built and I think I'll be good for a while. I'll get Skyrim later on.

Hell yea.

Looks like I am about to finish this Civ V game I have been playing for a week. What should I go for next?

Endless Space? I bought that during THIS SALE :eek:
Eador: Masters of the Broken World? Also this sale.
Finally beat New Vegas and all the DLC?
Something else? Help me, GAF.

I will probably play Civ again :(

you finished Civ 5 in a week?! I play every Civ for years (><)
I would buy Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, if I had unlimited funds

edited: I'll go and assume my avatar is not in this mosaic.

You are truly awesome. Give me your Steam ID and I'll gift you a copy of Infestation.

I can't believe Payday won. I played it on PS3 and thought it was awful.

It's a little janky but I loved it in all of its budget title glory. Spent 200 hours with it, I did. And the devs are really cool dudes who added a ton to the game post-release. Not just new maps and modes, but patching in new AI behaviors and places for them to come from and tweaking stages based on feedback taken from heat maps and watching streams for player tactics. And then they added in the hidden overdrill stuff which took the community a while to discover using hints located in-game.

Not for everyone but it's way more than meets the eye.

New Vegas is a good break between Civ games.

Picked up CoH complete, given I don't own the expansions and figure could still get some SP and compstomp enjoyment out of them. I'm hoping that the new steam version takes the purchase into account and unlocks the menus?

So, what's best value for money?:

- Company of Heroes
- Company of Heroes Gold
- Company of Heroes Complete Pack

From the reviews I've read, Tales of Valor has a very short singleplayer-campaign. Doesn't seem worth it...

I'll play me some infestation. For like 5 minutes and then not ever again.

I actually redeemed a gift copy of Bad Rats. I'm not one of those people that just re-gift the same copy of bad rats all around the thread.. :D

I'm pretty sure you'll get every single one of them with any purchase, as "Company of Heroes - Steam Edition" just has them all, and you'll get that, afaik.

I hate it when people posts lists like these because they made me realize how many amazing games I'm missing.

O man Wargame is REALLY good. I was kinda taken by surprise by its quality.

you finished Civ 5 in a week?! I play every Civ for years (><)

Nah not done. It will get played many, many, many more hours. In fact I will take part in the epic GAF multiplayer game starting Sunday and I was looking for something else to play since I will be getting my Civ fix.

Puzzle quest 2 was such a huge disappointment for me.

Must have done like 20 hours of the original on 360.

It's not on the level of original Puzzle Quest, no, not even close. I can't wrap my head around art style change for worse too. Why they did that?
Still it's fun to play. I played it on DS too :)
I spend around 100 hours in original on different platforms, BTW
