I agree. In fact, unless it's a title I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for, I'll usually try to give it a few months, and then pick it up for half price from eBay or something. I scored Bioshock, Dead Space, and Metal Gear 4 for a total of less than $50.Steady Mooobin said:
Did you even finish Dead Space.The controls on the PC are bad but the graphics are great as well as the storyline.
Yes, I finished Dead Space. I liked it a lot and will likely play through it at least once more. It flew under the radar a bit, but I think it's probably the best "survival horror" video game I've played since the original Resident Evil.ETA: In regards to the controls, I played the PS3 version, and had no trouble with them.
I actually loved this game, even though it didn't get great reviews. There's an enhanced version coming out in a couple weeks with extra levels and stuff for like $35. I sold my original version a couple months ago, but will be picking up the new version probably during the post-Christmas sales.The game gets sort of easy once you level up a bit and get completely badass with the Force, but I still enjoyed it. Lots of cool stuff you can do with your Force powers. I think I played through it twice. There are two separate endings, one of which might have been the most disturbing ending to a video game that I've ever seen.
They do that with the Star Wars games where you can follow a light path or a dark path. Did you play Knights of the Old Republic? Going the dark way has some disturbing things towards the end.
I popped in Fallout this past weekend.
For the first time, I'm interested.
Mirror's edge is awesome! Love that game. Campaign was fun (wish it was longer). Time trials are addicting.
Lots of talk about this in the Fallout3 thread. Tenpenny Tower is one place unless you bring that down too.
Forgot to mention I took that out, but not before nuking Megaton.
I used the BOS Outcasts site for storage a bunch and never lost anything. I'd just leave it on the floor by the entrance.
The Force Unleashed was the first Star Wars game I've played in at least 10 or 15 years.
I'm sure you can find a clip of just the ending if you're more interested in the story/ending than in playing the game itself.
From what I remember, you can dump stuff more or less in any container. With my evil character, I just got the apartment in Tenpenny Tower and used that.Edit: OK I see you took out Tenpenny also. I think you're just going to have to find a non-random location to house your stuff. Maybe one of the satellite installations? I'm no help whatsoever.
I thought the game was pretty cool, just heard it was very short and a lot of people said they were disappointed. Now that it's cheap, I'd like to give it a go.
It's basically a hack n' slash, but the Force powers are pretty cool. It wasn't a particularly long game, but I didn't think it was all that short, either. The original version can already be had for around $15, and I'm sure that price will drop even further when the Sith Edition is released in a couple weeks.
I'm borrowing that from a friend and I just can't get into it. Having played and finished GTA earlier in the year, I just can't bring myself to play it.I'm officially done with that genre. (affirmation baby)
Yet another game I have barely touched.
At least it was free with the yourfreexboxgames.com deal.
i wouldnt lose sleep over missing the first game. it was a decent experience that showed a lot of potential. but it was very repetitive. The 2nd one is looking better.Yet another game I have barely touched.At least it was free with the yourfreexboxgames.com deal.
I should just bite the bullet and trade in a few games for some credit. No way I will ever get to them all. Assassin's Creed, R6:V1 or 2, GRAW 1 and 2, etc.i wouldnt lose sleep over missing the first game. it was a decent experience that showed a lot of potential. but it was very repetitive.

i wouldnt quite say that. Graphics and animations were awesome. The environments were really fantastic (albeit a bit drab in terms of color pallette) The AI and mission structure needed work.IMO, the series still has a ton of upside.
Graphics is no way shape or form make up for ultra-repetitive and unimaginative game play.
Assassin's Creed 1 is $5 on Steam right now. The PC version has much more to offer than the console version. Of course, it's pretty hefty on the system requirements.
Will do - I dump everything after I play it. Between that and using Goozex as a way to trade stuff for profit I've managed to keep my expenses pretty low this year. I get everything I want on release day and am still under $300 spent on games this year.
I like the SR franchise better than GTA, but playing both is probably overload. I tried to play GTA4 after a lot of time with SR2 and I just got bored with it about halfway through.
PC or console?
You know me, man. PC all the way.

Yea, the repetitive gameplay was disappointing. But to me, the clunky controls were the biggest problem with that game. I hated that you had to "lock on" to something, or to hold a button to ride your horse a little slower. Or the way the buttons were mapped - even after hours of playing, it never become natural (like most games do). I had to constantly stop and think "ok, now I have to lock on to attack"... "now I have to hold this button to sneak", etc - it made playing the game feel like "work". I abandoned it about halfway through. This game would have been infinitely better with a little simplification in regards to the overall mechanics, etc.ETA - am playing Uncharted 2 now, and it's easily one of the best games to come out this year. Cannot recommend it enough.
Some of the assassination missions were entertaining, and it had what I thought was an engaging plot. The fact I got it for free from the free360games deal probably didn't hurt. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
cool, you are going to love it! Hope you ordered the GOTY edition.You know me, man. PC all the way.
I actually just completed Assassin's Creed two days ago. I wanted to play it before the 2nd one came out. The game was definitely repetitive but you didn't have to do every side mission. So all you really had to do was two investigations and then you were allowed to do the assassination. You can blow through the game quite quickly this way and get good experience out of it. As mentioned before the graphics are great and I personally found the stealth killing to be very satisfying, but the thing I was shocked with was how good the story was. They really allowed you to connect with the character and the morals of everything you were doing. I'm definitely looking forward to the second one now if only to see where the story is going.

what comes out on 11/10?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
A massive "Up Yours!" to PC gamers.
