Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

steam addiction is a very serious condition. recent estimates show that nearly 5 million people are affected daily

Think of it like if you live in gaming Alaska... and you travel to town to pick up supplies once every 6 months, then retreat back into the snowy mountains. You need to pick up enough games, to keep you going until then next Steam sale.

I'm starting to think I might only buy games during the holiday season. I have enough to keep me entertained till at least late next year. I'm about 74 hours into Skyrim and that alone should late me another 40+.

So is pirating a videogame like rape, then ?

[–]Draber-Bien 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have never felt so dirty for pirating games before:( And I wasn't proud of it to begin with

Imagine what aussies think when they go into a store and see $110 for new games.

[–]Dongface 1 point2 points ago

That price is silly. Just silly.

[–]SlurmNator 1 point2 points ago

I don't go in to stores. I buy overseas @ $30-55. But I pity the fools who go to EB Games etc.

[–]theblitheringidiot 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can hardly believe that I used to go to Best Buy or GameStop to buy ps3/x360 games. Going now and looking at the prices I can't help but feel they're ripping people off. Shopping for games at a B&M is for those who are impatient, bored, ill-informed or technological impaired.

But I will be fair, I did buy Other M online at BB for 5 bucks and also bought AC: Brotherhood for 10 with in-store pickup. I'm not saying it's a horrible place but if that's someones main way of buying games I feel bad for them, they're most likely being ripped off.

Hell, I'd rather pay the same amount so long as it means I won't be badgered by an in-store employee.

[–]SlurmNator 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah i buy overseas too. But yeah nothings gonna change unless the people that buy from EB games find out that they are getting double charged.

Someone's buying. Otherwise, it wouldn't stay like that.

[–]SlurmNator 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah the aussie buyers don't know about overseas prices. So no one will reduce prices as there's no point.

[–]Pequeninos 3 points4 points ago

I'll feel like this in a few month or so when I'm finished with all the games I bought.

[–]chinonozu 6 points7 points ago

Finish your games?! in your dreams! HAH!

[–]cjhelms 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's right. I'm lucky if I even touch half the ones I buy. Between Steam Sales and Humble Bundles, I don't even know if I will be able to start some (most?) of them!

Shouldn't you have enough games to last till the next sale?

Y'know, "gaming" means playing those games, not just collecting them. Playing usually does take quite a while.

"Honey, why are all our credit cards maxed out?"

"Why, it's because I saved over 500 bucks on games during the sale!"

[–]thedarklordkyp 5 points6 points ago

Just wait till march. That year's going to kill my totally crappy live savings.

  • Mass Effect 3
  • Diablo 3
  • New Silent Hill
  • Max Pain 3
  • New MGS
  • Ninja Gaiden 3
  • FFXIV Online

And then... December again...

  • Halo 4
  • Starcraft 2
  • Monster hunter Freedom 3
  • Prey 2
  • Bioshock Infinite
  • Far Cry 3
  • Luigi's 2
  • New Fable
  • Borderlands 2
  • Paper Mario 3DS
  • New Resident Evil
  • New Animal Crossing

I still don't get how they're going to put Paper Mario on a 3DS... Isn't 2D kind of the main point?

[–]thedarklordkyp 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The paper part is only an aesthetic quality. With 3D, they continue to appear to be made out of paper. Just the things further in front will pop out more.

Super paper mario just didn't quite live up to the paper mario name, that one was different. The new one is once again not a 2D plataformer, but a 3D RPG... in 3D... like the other paper marios. (There's two types of 3D there, the 3D where you can walk around things, and the 3D where things pop out of the screen. :P Kinda confusing, I know)

[–]darkrom -2 points-1 points ago

Mass Effect 3 is Origin exclusive...either I pity your computer for installing that shitware, or you can save money by pirating that one. Seriously, fuck Origin.

[–]thedarklordkyp 0 points1 point ago

Good point! Money savings it is.

[–]Cadvin 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you spent as much as a new game costs, if you pace yourself you should have enough to tide you over until the spring sales. And then the cycle begins anew.

[–]arachnophilia 0 points1 point ago

i have enough games now to last me at least until next year's sale. if not until the year after that.

[–]theblitheringidiot 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not really that bad, especially if you waited to purchase your games during the holiday sale.

Take my co-worker as an example - he has to buy all the new games as soon as they come out.

So I bought the following

Dead Island I paid - 10 He paid - 60 Deus Ex 10 60 Bulletstorm 5 60 LA Noir 12 60 Batman 20 60

I bought all those games for the price of one of his brand new ones.

I've got like 50 games that I either haven't played or haven't played much of, so I'm really pretty set for awhile.

[–]CF5 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, the 50€ msrp is ridiculous. For Europeans it's never worth buying on steam unless it's on sale or the game is several years old.

[–]Dongface 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This so much. I can get boxed copies of brand new games delivered for €30. Them publishers need to sort they heads out.

[–]TierOne 0 points1 point ago

I got at least 20 games, I'm going to beat them before I buy anything else...

Ah, but.. there's a surplus of coupons now! THE SALE CONTINUES...

[–]darkrom 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Should have stocked up. I pretty much have at least a years worth of unplayed games on my steam account at all times. Stock up excessively during the sales, save all year long.

Can people stop complaining about the cost of gaming, it is the one thing that hasn't risen in price in like 20 years. Current trends permitting we would be paying A WHOLE LOT more than what we are now!
They might realize they forgot and screw us all ;)
