My body is not ready.

I find it suprisingly easy just not to buy stuff, for some reason.

I mean, one look atmy library and...

I prefer to not support Steam since I agree with GoG's anti-DRM stance. As a result I'm only getting ****ed in the GoGhole rather than getting double teamed.

Still ****ing hurts though.

Gog's sale was fun until my credit union thought it was placing fraudulent charges on my account and restricted my credit card for the next few days.

Planning to buy Tiberium Wars, both Portal games (should have bought em long ago), QUBE, and maybe Kairo, which my brother has gone crazy over.

I'm probably just going to watch the flash sales on both GoG and Steam to see if something turns up that I really want, or might like that's really cheap - I already bought the Telltale BTTF game off of GoG yesterday and Mashed on Steam just now (hey, it was under a dollar - I can spare that any day!). I mean, I have a backlog of games already on most of my gaming equipment and I was worried about other things I was considering purchasing from other places too...

Although, knowing my luck, Wargame: Red Dragon is going to get some ridiculous discount now that I bought it a few days ago...

MP-Ryan · **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2014, 09:11:06 pm

Due to my immense backlog, I have my list shrunk down considerably and will only be buying Transistor, Dishonored, and DXHR DC, and only if on for 80% or more.

Scotty · **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2014, 10:21:06 pm

Transistor is worth it full price.

I'm so poor. I can't afford this. I have utilities to pay. But dear god is half life 2 tempting

Mongoose · **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2014, 10:32:48 pm

Ha...I was just thinking a bit earlier that pretty much every interested party ever had to already own a copy of HL2 by this point, but apparently not.

Transistor is worth it full price.

It would be if my backlog didn't contain the following which have not even been launched:
The Witcher
The Witcher 2
XCOM: Enemy Unknown

and I still have not finished Skyrim and its DLC.

Scourge of Ages · **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2014, 12:28:48 am

All right everybody, stay calm. Remember the rules, and we'll all get through this together:
If it's not on daily, flash, or community sale, you don't need to buy it until the last day of the summer sale.
If it's not more than 50 percent off, wait until the last day of the summer sale, just in case.
And my personal, general rule for saving money: If it's more than $10, even after the discount, you can probably wait.

Mongoose · **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2014, 01:42:44 am

I already broke the daily rule for something on my wishlist, but it was 66% off and under $2 anyway, so I felt safe enough. I'll begrudge them a few dimes if I get burned.

pecenipicek · **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2014, 06:25:56 am

the only remotely interesting game for me right now is SoaSE: Rebellion, but even thats, eh...

i've found that the number of games i found interesting has dwindled down a lot in the past year. that makes me sad... -.-

[edit] as a side note, just found Carmageddon reincarnation on early access on steam. if it ends up on a sale, i'll be picking it up, but i doubt it will.
[edit #2] red faction guerilla seems like a good buy. i played it before, loved it, could probably get it again...

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2014, 08:04:42 am

the witcher, $3 (or 5 on GOG). worth it? skyrim is the only pure RPG i've ever played. decided it was worth the $7 or so on one of the last sales to try out. i liked it well enough i suppose. steam says i played 200 hours (i'm a completionist and grinder)

CommanderDJ · **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2014, 08:56:19 am

The Witcher is definitely worth that. Whilst it has its fair share of grindy quests and the combat model is somewhat weird, the setting and the characters were good enough for me to stick it out.

deathfun · **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2014, 12:38:49 pm

Well, seems like I'm going to have to cut into my firearm budget

I love disposable income. Bring it on steam and gog. Bring it *****es

SpardaSon21 · **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2014, 02:02:56 pm

If you're getting Witcher 1, before you boot it up get the Full Combat Rebalance mod. It fixes a lot of the complaints with the original's combat as well as some other stuff.
