This sincerely blows my mind.
Were you born anytime in the last 5 years? Because if not, there's just no excuse
If you haven't played any of them, I'd say go for it. You may find them outdated, but they're still a blast to play.

I intend to play and probably beat every game I've bought so far. Only bought 13 at the moment, which I'm sure is on the lighter side for some people here, but I'm playing them all and already beat 1.
Yeah but there are mods to make it an infinite play.
All for anything I'm interested in at the moment. Thankfully no cheevos this year means I'm not buying anything I don't want!

Wait until you start doing impulse purchases. Omg, this game is 75-85% off, must get!! lol. Spiraling out of control and your backlog grows.

Oh dear god yes, quick before toma gets to you.
I did, but it's great either way.
Yup, like me with the Orcs Must Die franchise pack 5 seconds ago. I really shouldn't have bought it, as I won't get to play it for a long time, but a friend got it a couple of days ago, and I wanted to be able to play with him.
Oh well, it's going to next month's CC bill, so everything is fine.

Well, ok. It's a third person shooter. But it's pretty close.

it's great that Far Cry 3 is now on sale. When most of us have run out of money.
Bastards.
Bastards.
True, but there's a saturation point somewhere down the line.
Since I started to focus more on PC gaming after getting rid of my japanese gaming fever, I'm building up this huge backlog of PC games. I think it's the indies which tack numerous games upon a backlog, especially thanks to humble bundle which add a huge pack of games.I've got 45 games + expansions and DLC. It's nowhere near as bad as it look, even if a couple of them are potentially hundred of hours like Morrowind, SF IV AE, Oblivion, Xcom or Civilization IV and V.
No, that would be Vice City. It's the perfect size, has some awesome humor and better music than SA. San Andreas is too bloated. It's simply too big for its own good, though it did have some great additions to the formula. But as a whole, I'd rather replay Vice City than San Andreas.

Hey GAF!
Question: Is Men of War Collector Pack really worth it? Can I dig it only for Single Player?
Question: Is Men of War Collector Pack really worth it? Can I dig it only for Single Player?
Beyond the Sword is highly recommended.
The only thing VC did better was the music and the feel of driving around in 80s Miami, and that stuff is due to how awesome the 80s were over the 90s. As a game SA is vastly superior and has a lot more content and better mission diversity because of the added content it has. It wasn't possible to jetpack or fly planes in VC so they couldn't make it in the missions obviously.

No I'd say that's a rip off for the pack.
Buy one game, Assault Squad and see if you dig it.
Personally, I love the series, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.
I payed like $4.99 for AS back when Steam had good sales
.Ok thanks, can Warlords be ignored then?

I want to buy the Mass Effect bundle, but the standalone price for Mass Effect 2 is easier to swallow. Is the digital collector's edition worth paying extra for? Should I look around for a better deal on Mass Effect 1 or just bite the bullet? I'm looking forward to working through the trilogy for the first time, Mass Effect 3 included, regardless of the unfavorable reputation I've seen associated with. Thanks for the help!
...and then comes the day after you become a veteran of several sales, feeling generous and you go verify your account on SteamGifts and it tells you "Your account has been verified, with 594 games, valued at $6,566.13". And I've finished 11! I want to cry.

Not happening until Steam starts getting more Japanese games.
Holy crap that's a lot of money and games.

Alright WTF happened to Codemasters?
We used to be able to get good deals on their games and now..............it's laughable.

They were so destroyed by Dirt 3 keys driving Steam's prison economy that they have to make up for it in other ways.
It is. There are ways to remove GFWL though.

I'm sure I'm probably not the first one to post this but:
Cheaper to buy individually than in the pack?
Edit: lol
Same here in euros. Had to travel 3 pages back to make sure I wasn't reposting this.
And still not fixed.
Oh well.
Can you save and play online with it removed?

Civ 5 vanilla or GOY edition?

Lucky they got the pricing right in Australia. $50 pack or FC3 alone for $52.49. hmm.
Well thankfully didn't spend that much. Roughly $ to £ exchange rate is .61 so around £4,000 and I've very rarely paid full price for anything (Arkham City and Deus Ex: HR only come to mind) so say £1,500-£2,000 in total. Though does draw some interesting facts like the contents of my hard drive is worth more than my car! Was umming and ahhing over whether to get Far Cry 3 but told myself to stop being an idiot as I've still got to finish it on my PS3! I think I might try the backlog challenge next year and not buy anything and just plow through but short of coming into a large windfall or being made redundant there are not enough hours in the day.

Looking for someone in the US to host a Payday 4 pack. I'll pay for the 3 remaining copies.
hey guys, has Evochron Mercenary been on sale yet? Its the last game on my wishlist but i'm not sure if i've missed it or not. I remember it being on sale maybe during the summer or thanksgiving sales for like $5-7 but I didn't bite and now I sorely regret it.
Anyone know? or anyone think it will go on sale?

GOTY edition, the expansion in particular adds a bunch of stuff that was missing from the base game that was in previous Civs.
No idea if it will be or has been on sale this low again, but I picked it up from GetGamesGo when they ran a two for 12 deal on Ubi games a few weeks back.

Still no Fallout deal
There will be a Fallout deal, sure as the rising sun.
Men of War, Red Tide, and Assault Squad were rated well. The others not. I lack Assault Squad.

Steam price is best for ME1 as far as i can see and the DCE version of ME2 really isn't worth it.
ME3 is on GMG for 78% off atm and you can use the 30% off code on top of it and the only bad thing about ME3 is the ending, the rest is top class.

It's not showing up as 75% off.

Thanks. I'll save $5 and just buy Mass Effect 1 and 2 individually on Steam. The money I save can go straight to Mass Effect 3. Appreciate the help.
I can't find it either
