Someone tell me about Terraria. Is it worthwhile for someone that doesn't have a lot of gaming time these days?

Dark Souls is an amazing game, but it's on sale every other day. People who vote for it because they themselves still don't have it have only themselves to blame. It's Ikaruga's time to shine now.
I voted for it cuz I want FROM to get as many sales as possible so they continue to love PC.

Well June has been an expensive month for me. Think I am done for this sale (unless an amazing deal pops up). So far I've bought the following.

Steam:

Borderlands 2 GOTY
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Darksiders Francise
Dead Island Riptide
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut
Deus Ex: Game of the Year
Don't Starve + Reign of Giants
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Far Cry 3
Hitman Collection
Marlow Briggs
Outlast
Payday: The Heist + Wolfpack DLC
Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds Survivor
Spacechem
State of Decay
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II
Torchlight II
Valiant Hearts - Got the last one for 2 tf2 keys.

Origin:

Mass Effect 3
Crysis 3
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 3
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Uplay:

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Child of Light
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Splinter Cell: Blaclist
Watchdogs

GOG:

RaceDriver: Grid
Zafehouse Diaries
Knock Knock
Magrunner: Dark Pulse

To Buy:
Witcher 3 (GOG)

I don't normally buy games on release, but the guys at CDProjekt RED are just awesome. Not only do I get 27% off for owning both Witcher games but they will also give me back $12 in vouchers as part of their Fair Price Package.

I really want to support these guys because they are one of the few developers that truly seem to care about the gaming community.

If time is a concern to you then no its not but it is a good game. It's like a 2D Minecraft but with stuff to aim for like bosses, getting all the NPCs to move in, and events.
 
So GTA IV is $5 / 75% off despite the community choice listing $4 / 80%? And this isn't the first time the voting page listed different prices than what the actual sale turned out to be. It doesn't affect me personally, I already bought GTA IV complete a couple weeks ago when it was on sale for the same $6, but if the community choice votes are actually supposed to be meaningful they should really have accurate information.

For a brief moment, it was GTA IV + San Andreas for $5 I think.
 
If you're planning on buying the Redux versions of the Metro games now is a good time to grab the originals for the 50% discount. 2033 is currently at 1,99 euros and will save you 10 on the Redux version.

VOTE FOR IKARUGA should be added to the thread title.

For the future.

For the love of PEWPEWPEW.

For justice.

For Treasure.

And for my wallet.

I don't get it... Bioshock triple pack is 10,19€, but BioShock + BioShock 2 Pack is almost as much - 10€?
It makes no sense...

Look at it this way: There are 75+ million steam accounts, discounting smurfs/alts/whatever, how many of those are actually gonna be in the know enough to think it through that much?

That doesn't make me feel better. : /

The
Steam
democratic experiment has clearly failed.

We need an autocrat to take the reins and guide us into a new era of enlightened sales.

Who will heed the call?

Uh, I'd like to nominate myself for Universal Steam Overlord. JaseC can be my prime minister.

It makes no sense...

There are actually such big pricing differences in EU stores? Bioshock Triple Pack is 14.99€ for me (german store). I could get another game for the additional cost.
