This, buy that game.
If you want to feel even worse, include anything you spent on the Amazon, PSN, or XBLA sales too. I thought I was doing ok until then.
Now I'm so ashamed.

Old World Blues was my least favorite, although I haven't played Lonesome Road. Honest Hearts was my favorite. But every DLC should be worth it. OWB had great dialogue and humor but by the end I was quite sick of the characters, too much of a good thing. The area had really cool looking places but the fetch quest nature of it was just far too apparent and felt very repetitive.
As for F3 versus NV, there are the typical improvements one expects in a sequel and the writing is usually a good deal better in NV (3 has some great quests that I would put up there, and Point Lookout might be my fav DLC of either game), but the Capital Wasteland was a far better place to explore than the Mojave Wasteland. The Vegas strip was a disappointment, but I'm going to partially blame the Gamebryo engine for that.

Last minute decision (I'm off to work) on Walking Dead. So much positive buzz pushed me over. Big fan of the show, excited to try later tonight.
Paradox like EA is a company that doesn't deserve anyone's money. The stuff Paradox does is unlawfully in some countries. (selling a product not fit for sale/selling a defective product). At least EAs games work for the most part.
It's fundamentally broken. It needs to be a different game.
I heard at the start you simply couldn't play it because of how broken and buggy it was. It still is, but not nearly the product advertised.

hey GAF, I have new vegas on steam and want to buy some DLC. which one should I get?

Probably answered also, but I've already played and beaten Fallout 3 on 360.
If I were to pickup the GOTY on Steam, could I justjut go ahead and start the DLC? Or maybe there's somewhere I could get a sve file to pickup from?

Will Dead Space 2 make sense to me if I've never played the first one?
Also, is it worth getting the ultimate edition for Fallout:NV, or should I just get the base game?
EDIT: someone answered about DLC thanks!

I'm interested in buying Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition but it says that it isn't optimised for Windows 7. Do I need to be worried about this? I also see Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition for a very nice price but I would like to see it go down even further. Should I wait on that?
If you have Win 7 64 bit you will be fine, as it works with no problems here. I can't comment on 32bit.
Get all of it since that's the only way you can play the JE Sawyer mod.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue but I just want to let everyone know Hard Reset has a bad habit of corrupting it's save files and then crashing on boot until you either delete the entire game and redownload or delete your saves. Sometimes just deleting your saves doesn't work.
I searched around and it doesn't look like there's a fix for this outside of just starting the game over again. So if you want to play it set aside 5 hours so you can actually beat it.
So for now I recommend you all stay away.

Why not just get Jagged Alliance 2 Gold? A couple of people seemed to think the new game was decent enough and playable in the thread when it was launched.
I have that already.
Never had a single problem, and so do the people in the OT for the most part... Seems like something on your end :/
This is effen sad. I always notice in the News section a update for Swords & Stars 2 like every week. It's just morally wrong a company can release a game in such a unfinished and broken state and still hasn't fixed it after such a period of time.

OK. I say that instead you should buy some beer so you can cry into it and remember how things used to be.

So Fallout 3 on Windows 7, is that a problem, what is this "not optimized for Windows 7" stuff?

But Russia doesn't support Paypal right, how have you been transferring him money? Are the prices drastically different in Russia or something for you to go through the hassle?
Well shit. Guess I'll have to pester them via email until I get a steam forums account registered. They don't seem to have their own forum outside of the steam one.
It's a shame too because I enjoy the game otherwise I would just abandon it.
Sounds like something on your end. Never experienced anything like that.
There's a "Previously on Dead Space" option on the main menu that will walk you through the events of the last game. I still recommend playing it though. It's a better horror game than the second one.

Regarding the Fallouts:
1. Do I want both 3 and NV, or should I just skip 3?
2. On the Fallout 3 page it says that the game is not optimized for Win 7. What does this mean? Will it not run? Will it run poorly?
3. Do I want NV Ultimate Edition? Is it really worth twice as much as the regular edition?

Guys, need game suggestion.
Anything like Dawn of Discovery on Steam? It's not available on AU Steam. I think Anno 2070 is similar but that was 30 even with the discount here :''(
Most close would obviously be Anno 2070 since it's the same series. Dawn of Discovery is called Anno 1404 in some regions.
Maybe have a look at The Settlers 7. Don't know anything else other than that.
1. Both. F3 GOTY and NV Ultimate
2. Runs fine on W7 64 bit (so it would on 32 too)
3. Yes its the GOTY basically..you get all the DLC.

Patrician IV might be close enough for your liking?

Yeah, but is that DLC actually worth as much as the game itself? Sure, if you just add the DLC pricetags together you end up with a lot more, but is all of it actually worth having?
That is opinionated. I think so. I enjoyed them. It added a lot of content..well except for like the gun stash stuff. I think its worth it.

You should get both! Both are fantastic games, and the modding community is still alive for both. (though Fallout 3 isn't as alive as New Vegas of course.)

Got Pixeljunk Eden, Syberia Bundle, X3: Terran Conflict.
Syberia and Pixeljunk could have waited until the last day of the sale, but they're already discounted so low that at most I'd save a dollar in the unlikely chance they went further on sale.
Hesitant to buy any individual thing over $5 though since I have such a large backlog already. Only a few things I'd bite on at a higher price point. Even then, I probably wouldn't go more than $15 for an individual item. Trying to keep this under $30 total I think, as money is tight.
I guess if you add in M&B: Warband and EUIII which I got for free thanks to codes from Tony, I have a pretty good haul so far on a small budget.

The thread moves so fast that I have to ask - is it worth having all the expansions or just Fallout NV with 1 expansion? I keep reading about only having 1 expansions since the rest are not as good.
