Well if you weren't a fucking idiot you would still have that shit sitting in your closet. No? Well then prepare to fork up some good $$$ to resellers and (((retro gaming enthusiast))).

I haven't bought anything on my steam account in a few years, I was excited a few years ago when I had regular income but even from the word go I had an inkling of doubt to buying games on steam and even gog. I think my account had a few hundred games on it, perhaps 250ish? don't care to check, but I know tons are from bundles. I think one bundle got me like 40 games and only cost me $5. The problem was I knew I wasn't going to play them.
The thought that I didn't own any of the games, the EULA made me question the highly ethereal nature of digital purchases and when I got a cheap PS3 and played a few games I missed out on my interest ultimately went in that direction.
I think the steam user who buys 400 games buy only plays 20 is a common thing, and that sort of wasteful consumption should be shamed.

Chalk it up to boredom, there was some horrible gameplay elements, corridor shooter/empty feeling/no jump ffs but I kind of liked the story hinted at with the first where you unpick that a galaxy wide purge is coming and I had damn-fool hopes that they'd make *some* effort with porting over your decisions into the next game(s) and actually have a branching, varied story that you could see significant differences in. The potential replay value that would have had (if they'd bothered) would have been impressive, as it is they just just said 'Fuck it, your decisions mean shit' harder with each iteration and the ending of 3 is just the cats asshole on top.

Rarely are games worth buying in my opinion. There's the occasional gem that I know I will play a lot and in those cases I will often buy it. AAA never manages it these days and most indie games feel too cheap to spend money on.
The ones I happen to buy are usually dedicated indies who manage to produce a product before they ask for your money or AA studios that just want to make vidya. That seems to be the sweet spot these days, though one is a rare breed and the other often makes games for genres I don't enjoy too much.

Another thing that kinda erks me is how ports on steam are full price, they should at least be half price. I wouldn't mind buying Nioh, but its only worth 30 bucks in my books.
937f0e No.13965477
>>13965465
the price of nioh I can understand, because it's a late port ($30) + 3 DLCs ($10ea) adding up to $60. It's not been a full year since the game was released, and it comes with more content than the version available on retail PS4 in the west.

I buy all my games, save for emulating older games, Denuvo games (because fuck you, I'm not giving Denuvo a fucking dime), and games I already owned on another platform.
As to Steam, I actually have 1500 games, but my goy level isn't as high as you'd think. I was super, super into bundles, I almost never bought a game from Steam directly, so a vast majority of those games cost me well under a dollar each.
I don't buy or pirate most triple A games, why would I waste my fucking time? If I get a bad game in a cheap bundle, oh well, I'm out a few nickles. I can't fathom what drives people to shovel hundreds of dollars for complete shit.

Have you at least put some time into those genres?
Some genres and games might seem slow and intimidating at first, especially ones with slow starts, but once you understand their concept and how they mechanically function theres a great possibility to get hooked to them and enjoy every game of the same genre.

I bought them on GOG, by the way.

Saying "Everything is shit" and taking that as an excuse to pirate everything and feel superior is not completely right. I know it's kinda dumb to believe in "voting with your wallet", but I want to do so.

I bought all the stalker games which is enough to feed the developer team for years yet the company went bankrupt. I bought paradox map painters but they turned into complete shit with an endless flow of DLCs and patches, not to mention I haven't enjoyed any of their games after Victoria 2.
The more I give them money, the more money they have for marketing to attract the "wider audience" which I'm not part of and then they start to change the game mechanics that ruins the game for me. Seems like the only good game developers are those who suffer. Once you give them money they turn their game into complete shit.

Somewhat, yes.
No matter what, I always find myself gravitating towards more 'action' oriented games. From all kinds of shooters, tactical or more arcade-like to games like DMC and Bayonetta and even racing games will do it for me. My main gripes are with turn-based games and strategy games.
The former I know I can enjoy since I enjoyed Disgaea 2, but I still don't know why I enjoyed it over all the others I've tried that I quickly lose interest in. The latter I've never really been able to really enjoy, but I recently got into Oriental Empires and that's not so bad. Still somewhat slow going though.
