OK, so in the Humble Origin Bundle, you now get The Sims 3 and it's DLC as redeemable codes for thesims3.com (see your bundle page for instructions). If you didn't make a note of your Sims 3 Origin code, then it's gone I'm afraid.

Anyway I was wondering... for people who own The Sims 3 on Steam. It may be possible to get the DLC on your Steam version because the game still makes you login with your thesims3.com/EA/Origin account right?

Could anyone who owns The Sims 3 on Steam and bought the Origin Bundle BTA test this?

You can't. You have to buy the Sims DLC on Steam to use it on Steam and you also need the base from Steam.

You can take your Sims 3 CD keys from Steam and register them to thesims3.com and then they autopopulate to Origin but you can't do the other way around. Ever.

If you want anything Sims 3 on Steam you have to buy it all on Steam.

Full Mojo Rampage is overpriced at $20. Even the $10 Humble glitch doesn't make it appealing. Developers made NyxQuest and that wasn't anything amazing. This just looks like a generic isometric arcade shooter with some very light rpg elements.

Thanks for the recommendation! I bought it from HB store. Sometimes I just need a simple game that I can fire up and play for 30 mins or so. And having a randomly generated levels means I won't get bored of it quickly.

This one is on my wishlist, and I know it's a new release... but I think I'm holding out. I've read some complaints about the game and, well, backlog...

Everyone probably already has hundreds of golden keys, but Randy Pitchford has been posting 3 Key codes for the last few days during the DLC4 head releases. They expire quickly, so you kinda have to keep your eye out for them.

theres a PT3?!

Sure, the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. You can start that at level 50 after TVHM is complete.

I normally breeze through the story mode for the first two playthroughs, avoiding all but the most interesting side missions. If I need to pick up some extra XP I start a DLC.

Once you get into UVHM all missions and enemies stay at your level - it's impossible to "over-level". Everything has 4x health, shields and health regenerate. Slag is a MUST. Special builds and great high-level equipment is necessary. It's simultaneously the most fun and most frustrating mode.

It's according to the game for me. Several games I'm likely to only play once, usually non story-driven FPS's (Binary Domain, Homefront, Syndicate, etc.). Though, with some I may solo add-on content such as Syndicate's co-op stuff. Others like Borderlands, Skyrim, Mass Effect Series, Deus Ex:HR...I love those games so much and they have such high replay value IMO, those games alone could probably support my game addiction for the foreseeable future. I just finished my first play through of Borderlands 2 last month with all characters and I'm at least going to take them all up to their level caps just like I did in Borderlands, so that will be a minimum of 3 plays each. Skyrim I have like 14 characters between 360 and PC, though with that game I usually only play till level 40-60 until I restart. I did have a lot of fun with my Paladin, so I may play her past level 81. Mass Effect, don't even ask how many Shepards I've created...it's a lot.

Well, that's ALSO probably true (that I don't finish 90% of the games that I own), as well.... ;)

EDIT:

NvaderJim said:
Don't feel bad I have trouble with single
Click to expand...
For me, that depends on the game, too - so yeah, I go through this, too.

Dark Souls PC, anyone? ;)

Also, sometimes a single play-through can be tough if I buy a new game I am dying to play and just abandon game that I was currently playing.
EDIT 2:

I think the reason I often don't do numerous play-throughs is b/c my massive backlog keeps haunting me to move On To The Next One. ;)

"I got a million games to play/Choose one."

I've only done multiple play-throughs on a handful of games. The Mass Effect Series, Fallout 3 and 4, KoToR 1 and 2, Star Wars Battlefront series, and Bastion. 

So basically just my favorite RPGs. I'd add the Elder Scrolls games, but I don't think I've ever actually finished one.

Given the amount of DLC's/expansions, mods, and sheer amount of content in an ES game...

...I don't think one ever truly finishes an Elder Scrolls game. ;)

If anything, we just eventually wind-up moving On To The Next One.

I actually went backwards. After playing the Solstheim DLC for Skyrim, I loaded up Morrowind again. It is impossible to escape these games!

No, I'm the same way.

Borderlands is a bit different for me though, since the story is only a part of the point of the game. The gameplay, loot, and enemies change so much from lower to higher levels that it's a lot less like repeating what you've done before and more of a continued growth. Particularly when you factor in how reaching the bottom of multiple skill branches can change the game.

 
MysterD said:
So, what drove you back to ES3...?

The setting? Mods? OpenMW?

Some of the above? A few of the above? All of the above?
Click to expand...
The DLC just reminded me how much I liked Morrowind, and I had it all modded already. So I just picked one of my half complete characters and played a bunch of hours.

I'll have to check out OpenMW next time I get into it.

I spend a lot of time with the games I really like.  I play games to have fun, and I have fun playing those.

Regarding BL2 playthroughs:

PT1: (EZ-mode) bang-bang-lulz (and the first half waiting enough skills to unlocked to have the start of a build.

PT2: (new-normal mode)gotta be more careful than PT1.. applying the right elemental effect is more important... more skill points to really open up interesting builds.

PT3: (new-hard mode/old-normal) It's not *that* rough, but it is me-against-the-world and I need to be focused, prepared, gear and skill point allocation is important.  Yes, slag really helps (in PT1/2 slag wasn't worth switching weapons for).

I've respecced my mechromancer more times than I can count.  Respeccing is cheap.  There are a lot of different skill synergies depending on playstyle.  The mechromancer skill trees have some of the most interesting and varied synergies I've seen in recent memory.

I recently started a playthrough of UVHM with some friends, and I didn't expect the difficulty jump to be that big. Your last sentence is something I highly agree with.
