Purchasing new console (and sometimes PC) games.

[Eric is God]

PC Gamers out there have to admit that Steam has made gaming much cheaper, even with paying for DLC. For example, over Christmas I bought the following on Steam:

Batman: Arkham Asylum $25

Fallout 3 - Game of the Year (original, plus 4 expansions) $37.50

Grand Theft Auto IV $7.50

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition $13.50

Left 4 Dead $7.50


Those are some pretty sweet deals you wouldn't see on consoles. Of course games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare will never drop below $50, but I try not to support asshole developers.

On the flip side, I did spend $8 to get some Dragon Age DLC that added a whole 2 hours of content which really annoyed me. Not to mention the release of an expansion WAY too soon.

it's the only thing i've been playing whatsoever lately, pc version of course. best multiplayer game i've played since team fortress classic. just can't get enough!

omg i still have team fortress classic on Steam rofl, which class did you play as? i played soldier usually....it took me so long to learn how to use those bombs as a medic to be able to fly across map....also loved to pretend to be dead as a ninja then stab a noop

They're dropping a map pack for $1500 for Modern Warfare 2 lawl. It's 3 original maps and 2 re-hashes from COD4. What fuckery.

I seriously hope that was a typo for $15.00

Also: Counter-Strike in space

Looks pretty interesting. No tie-down from the MMO type of deal. Just jump in a ship and fucking slaughter eachother in space.

JOIN ME, MY OCTAVIAN BROTHERS!
PS: It's a leaked video of the Octavian race's opening cinematic. There's the Solrain and the Quantar cinematics too, but I want you all to choose Octavian, so I'm only posting this one B)

I had a chance to play Star Craft 2, and sure it was fucking awesome but each campaign is like $60 meaning that its going to cost me SEVERAL hundred dollars to play the complete game. People bitch about the monthly fee of games like WoW and Darkfall but game servers cost money, updates to content cost money, there's no difference in someone paying $100 a year to play a game and me purchasing a 12 month subscription for $100 a year.

Aion tanked, Mortal Online looks worse than the original Everquest, and Darkfall is the only decent MMO pvp game I've played in years. Fighting in spaceships just isn't my thing, sure Continuum is fun once in awhile but games like Eve or Jumpgate don't appeal to me. I like being able to shoot a bow, swing a sword, and yes I want aim to factor in the equation. The tab targetting games like WoW and Aion blow, if you're a higher level than someone you're most likely going to kill them. Once Darkfall's dead I guess I'm on hiatus for the next 3-4 years until another full loot, sandbox, pvp game comes out. Star Wars the Old Republic is the only game I'm currently keeping my eyes on.

MMORPG's shouldn't cost anyone a cent given how easy it is to turn your items or accounts into real money. I've yet to come across an MMORPG where aim ever really played a factor in swinging a sword and I've never understood the appeal of PVP in these games. The only skill ever involved in PVP is the skill needed to notice what class or skills are the most unbalanced. Full loot PVP is a great idea as long as you ensure it's restricted to the 3-5% of assholes who take pleasure in ruining the gains of others (present company excluded of course) :grin:

While SC2: Wings of Liberty will be most likely $50 (pc games are generally still 50, while console games are 60) and it's only gonna be the Terran campaign, I don't feel too ripped off. The campaign will be a good, long chunk of gameplay and will be worth the 50 dollar asking price. The multiplayer is fully featured as well, from what I can tell in the beta, including achievements and a great deal of stat tracking.

dameon, is your avatar Castle, of the ABC show Castle?

the more i see jumpgate, the more it looks exactly like freelancer...which is a good thing. however, i will do what i do with all mmos and wait 2 months to see if they die a horrible death, it has prevented me from investing time and money into shit that just tanks.

You've yet to come across Darkfall then, because if you suck shit at aiming a person with half your skill can bow you down or magic you down. PvP should be a balance of a persons abilities mixed with their characters skill, meaning that regardless of how hard you hit it doesn't mean you're good at hitting someone.
