Alot of games, some of which I'm not sure I'll play

>.< damned steam sales.

but I mostly stick to MMOs, the F2P lot, easier to get most my friends in a game with such a low bar for entry. That said, if you want one that's different from the heard of WoW clones, Vindictus

Edit: I already have the stuff that was in the humble THQ bundle so yeah.
This is a little anachronistic, but pick up Battlefield 2. The expansions are free now and it's brilliant, it's so brilliant that it makes 3 feel more than a little disappointing. Prepare to spend a lot of time dieing at random to begin with though...

I also highly recommend anything STALKER and getting Valve Complete pack off of Steam.
Never looked into STALKER much, elaborate? As for Valve I own most of the Valve stuff I want already, since I'm not too big on Half-Life or Counter Strike...

I'll look into BF2. BF3 was hugely disappointing to me because Bad Company 2 was better =p

Open world games set around Chernobyl and Pripyat. Very big, quite hard, often frightening and full of Russians.
I thought it would be Ukrainians?



Also I got over 250 games in steam sales and humble bundles since I got a new PC two years ago.

Well as the Brony's would say, welcome to the herd.

You have entered the world of endless game titles, cheap sale prices, and mods. You know what they say, once you go PC you never go back....wait..that didn't rhyme...damnit.

Hey, no need to be exclusive. Play what you want. I personally love all game systems, but its the PC i constantly keep coming back to.

As a general rule, I would recommend to look into the kind of genres that barely or not at all exist on consoles. Strategies, point-and-click adventures, MMOs, sims, etc. You might not like all of them, but you might like some of them.

Getting more pixels out of Skyrim, or more easily controlling Portal, might be relatively good reasons to smugly laugh at console gamers, but in the end, it's the entirely unique experiences that justify the PC platform.
Company of Heroes is amazing and I wish I had more time for it @__@ MMO's are not my bag, I like being in the same room as other players so I can hit them for being a dick.

But RTS, I'm up for some of that so long as it isn't boring like age of empires.

No need to bar oneself from the great games that exist on consoles, it's just that for strategy or fps the PC is the better format.

Not a cent, and that would me more than they deserve.

GoG, Humble Bundle, Indie Royale and Indie game stand have been mugging me repeatedly all month long. Pushing over 100$ in, which for one month and my entertainment budget is absolutely insane.

I think its fantastic myself. Remember a while ago when pc gaming was spelling all doom and gloom? so much for THAT! No more paying microsoft for keeping multiplayer hostage! no more overpriced eb games. Microsoft Arcade has been left in the dust and curb stomped due to them way overcharging developers on their arcade games and bullying of indy games.

I lost all respect for microsoft to the point where I won't even consider buying their next console.

To contribute in this thread also, I will post the Videogame Bundles some sites have. This binbles worth it, sometimes you can take like 6-7 for 5 dollars or less. Plus sometimes with the games you take awesome indie music :)
Here is the list:

B Indie Budle http://www.indiebundle.org/
Built a Bundle [Groupees] http://groupees.com
Bundle In A Box http://bundle-in-a-box.com/
Bundle Stars http://www.bundlestars.com/
Buy Game, not Socks http://www.buygamesnotsocks.com/
GameDev Bundle https://gamedevbundle.com/
Greenlight Bundle http://www.thegreenlightbundle.com/
Indie All-Stars Bundle http://www.indie-allstars.com/
Indie Bundles http://indiebundles.com/
Indie Buskers http://www.indiebuskers.net/
Indie Face Kick http://bitg.gamingallthetime.com/producthome.php
Indie Fort Bundle http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle
Indie Gala http://www.indiegala.com/
Indie Game Bundles http://www.indiegamebundles.com/
Indie Royale http://www.indieroyale.com/
IndieGameStand https://indiegamestand.com/
IUP Bundle http://iupbundle.org/
Little Big Bunch http://www.littlebigbunch.com/
Summer Batch http://www.summerbatch.co.uk/
The Indie Bundle http://theindiebundle.com/
The Humble Bundle http://www.humblebundle.com/

Most of them doesn't work, but if you search a little you can find good deals as I said.

Also a BIG winner is the Gala Store Beta site. You can buy games for Steam or DRM-Free VERY CHEAP.

For example, If you buy "Chaos on Deponia" in Steam, you will pay now 9,99 euro
http://store.steampowered.com/app/220740/
However if you buy it from Gala store NOW, you will pay only 6 euros
http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/adventure/chaos-on-deponia.html

Here is the site:

http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/

This have many good offers to buy, but you need to be patient and seach for new deals every now and then.

If you like you can see other sites with good offers to my thread I create:

I hope I helped ^^
