The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[The Bear]

All look the same price as earlier to me. Certainly Tomb Raider, Dishonoured and Bioshock Infinite.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

Not long until the Steam Christmas Sale! That's always good for some great deals!!

 

[Alan]

Picked up five games, which is a pretty good haul for me. Glad it's over though as my wallet couldn't take much more.

 

[James]

I played prison Architect at my mates, not really worth it to be honest I'm glad I didn't buy it in the sale.

 

[t3ch]

Why anyone would pay $30 for a game in alpha is beyond me.

 

[James]

He got it for £3.99, it is pretty boring tbf.

 

[t3ch]

You guys must have gotten it cheaper than we did... It was definitely somewhere double digits, maybe $20 not $30.

Either way, paying for a game in alpha = mind boggled

 

[James]

It maybe in Alpha but they need to make it a lot better otherwise it's a pointlessly boring game.

 

[t3ch]

Yeah I thought, watching the trailer before knowing it was alpha, that it looked like an elaborate cell phone game that would give a few minutes of entertainment... then I saw the price and bugs and shut the window.

I typically like the build games, so good to know that this one is to be skipped.

 

[James]

We need another Rollercoaster tycoon now that is the best build game ever.

 

[Carrotdude]

I don't think I'd ever buy anything on Steam unless it was on sale, I now have loads to get me through to the next one!

As soon as it went 3D it lost its charm for me. I still play RT2 regularly.

 

[James]

RT2 took hours of my time but I did enjoy the RT3 P.o.v and chain lift cheat.

+1

I had a wonderful thrill rollercoaster back in the day called The Ringshifter. All my guests loved it.

 

[The Bear]

PS3 + 360 + 9 games + rock band wireless keyboard traded in today in GAME. £215 to go on my Steam wallet!

 

[b3h]

Cracking!!

 

[James]

It seems like a lot at the moment but when you break it down you may have been ripped off a little.

 

[The Bear]

Not really. I double checked everything on eBay to see whether it was worth selling stuff separately and I only saved 2 games to put on there.

P.S. The 25% was only on software not hardware.

 

[James]

I suppose it is worth it depending on the games.

 

[The Bear]

4 of them were the three Rock Band games and Guitar Hero 5, which are all worth a pittance.
