I can triple confirm me and Mr. Bard went halfsies on the Supreme Commander Gold and both got gold with the keys (he got SC and FA and I got SC since I already had SC).

I would say over all: wii, ps3, ps2, ds, and psp I probably have around 75 games in my retail backlog.

Digital games are like trophies at this point. The more, the merrier!

My retail list is mainly PC. But, yeah - it's pretty extensive.

It probably goes as far back as Thief 2: The Metal Age (from Thief: Platinum Collection - Retail Box)...

Some untouched and/or unfinished stuff from Retail includes:
Warcraft 3 Battlechest; WOW Battlechest; Starcraft Battlechest;
Homeworld 1 & 2;
Gal Civ 1: Ultimate;
C&C Anniversary X; C&C 3 + Kane's Wrath; C&C: Red Alert 3;
Brothers in Arms: Bound in Blood + Hell's Highway;
Civilization Chronicles Box (Civ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4);
Contract JACK;
Blur;
Split Second;
DIRT 1;
Company of Heroes + Op Fronts;
Suffering: The Tie That Binds;
Lost Planet: Colonies Edition;
DMC3: Special Edition;
Overlord 1 & 2;
SimCity 4: Gold + SimCity Societies;
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (AKA Season 2);
Dawn of War 1: Gold Edition;
Age of Pirates 2;
SWAT 4 + Expansion;

Bah, that ain't even tipping the iceberg here of Retail games...

A fourth of my mixed mainly 360/ps3 backlog just got sent to amazon for selling today. 84 pounds and 80 items. Part of me was sad to see it go but I'm also relieved. I'm at a point now where if it isn't on my pc and I don't stop everything to play it when i get it then it's going to the pile of shame.

Unless I can get an incredible deal on a game upon release (think 50% or better) and the game likely will stuff lots of content upon release, I usually wait to buy the game LATER. If there lots of DLC planned or game is from a company known to release LOTS of DLC, it's another sign that I should wait for major price-drops on base game or wait for some sort of Complete Pack.

If it goes 75% off for the holiday sale, I'll definitely buy it regardless of how bad the port it. I also seriously hope modders will fix Blighttown. Console versions had major framerate drops in that area and doesn't looks like it's fixed for PC. I haven't heard of any news for future DLC. I don't think From Software has done DLC before. I think the only reason there's DLC at all was because so many fans requested a PC version, so they wanted to add something special for it.

1. Porting the game to PC isn’t going as well as expected. 2. Not only will there be no high-definition PC version of Dark Souls, the frame-rate in areas like Blighttown will not be fixed. When asked whether PC optimization will fix poor frame-rates, Uchiyama had only bad news. In order to get the game ported to PC in a reasonable amount of time, sacrifices had to be made. No fixes or optimizations to framerates will make it to the Prepare to Die edition. Bighttown will still be lag-town, even on a high-end gaming rig. http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain...abyss-details/

For those who are fans of Pendulo Studio's Adventure games, they are having a kickstarter (different site, same idea) for their new game.

Day One

Also I am kicking myself for not buying Orcs Must Die Sooner. It's like mixing Serious Sam and Tower Defense, ing awesome.

Man, I am liking Desura more and more the more I use it.

Speaking of which, is this off topic? Sure. Any worse than the rest of the thread? Hell no.

Game of the year is here folks: http://www.desura.com/games/banzai-p...-young-century

And $6? I said I want it on sale!

It doesn't go on sale often. $6 (or whatever price gamersgate had it for) is the cheapest price it's ever been.

Well read your post Bigspoonybard, and at first I figured you must have just typed that up for fun. But no, thats what the game page actually says. Yep i'm done here, going to bed.

Dear god please put this in an Indie Royale bundle. I wanna play this, but not for $15. More like maybe $5.

Good job man! I have considered that a few times but have yet to pull the trigger.

Agreed! I mean just read the description:


"When her boyfriend gets kidnapped by the queen of a succubus force known as the ‘Sexilicious Seven’, Pecan’s adventure for love, justice and divine punishment begins! She transforms into the Buxom and Brave Banzai Pecan, with the strength of ten-thousand men and the power of a Goddess hell-bent on Justice! Nothing will stand in her way, be it girls dressed in bunny-outfits or crazed-female demons; all shall be punished at the force of her fist! She will stop at nothing until she regains her love and justice!"

If that's not GOAT I don't know what is!

Starts tomorrow morning

Okay, here's what you need to do. Throw Contract JACK away. If you have played NOLF2, you're set. If not, what the flying hell is wrong with you? NOLF1 and 2 are amazing.

Second, bump SWAT4 to the top of your list. It's not as hard as it might seem, and it's by Irrational Games so somehow they fill with atmosphere a game that should be dry as hell.

And, of course, Thief 2.

Everything else, eh. But these are the sorts of games you should get in before you die

I know that bad language is frowned upon at CAG but gosh darn doohickey heck Titan Quest is good. Really good.

Also, I like Desura too.

I think "as long as...it doesn't crash, I'll be fine" falls firmly in the 'You know your expectations for a game are low if...' category.

I saw but, AHEM MysterD turn around, I don't want the DRM free copy of it. I will wait for it to go on Steam. It looks really interesting though and I hope it gets made.

As an aside, there are a number of kickstarters or similar projects I would have contributed to if the creators had simply promised Steam keys if the game makes it on there. I know there's some doubt as to whether Valve will approve certain games, but I don't see them rejecting a Pendulo game, plus with Greenlight I think a lot more games are going to be let in.

I think it could use a bit of a UI overhaul but overall I really like it. And I say this as someone who was very resistant to using another client at first. I like the idea of an optional client that you don't necessarily need to run to be able to play the games but it's there if you want them organized and updated. I also like that they are very supportive of, ahem, the I word and are not all high and mighty about not wanting to let this that or the other game in.

As much as I like Steam, sometimes their decisions baffle me. They've turned down some games that imho were quite good. Now if all of the games in their store were of the utmost quality I maybe could see it but they have quite a number of stinkers in there like Bad Rats. Once you let Bad Rats in you have no excuse for turning anyone's game down.

Speaking of which, is this off topic? Sure. Any worse than the rest of the thread? Hell no. Game of the year is here folks: http://www.desura.com/games/banzai-p...-young-century

Want!

I mean, I don't $15 want, but I still want. I wish Desura did more sales. They are pretty chintzy about that but I guess they just let the devs do what they want instead of twisting their arm to slash prices.

In case someone missed the sales for it recently at Steam and/or Gamersgate, it is on sale now for $4 at THQ's site. Note that it does not activate on Steam though.

Oh, they made The Whispered World. That game rarely goes on sale, though I found a physical copy at Half Price Books pretty cheaply. I left it on my wishlist long enough to see that it remained at full price through the summer sale.

My concern is that this one, which looks amazing and is now on my wishlist, may also not get any other discounts for a long while. Decisions, decisions...

Edit: Now that I look at their individual store pages, I see that this new one is self-published whereas as TWW has "Deep Silver, Viva Media" listed as publisher. Perhaps there's no cause for concern after all if lack of sales is the fault of those other companies.

I'm going to hope that the introductory 20% off is a good sign.
