I think one of the USPs is that it eats mice and baby chickens whole.

Well I quite fancied looking into Fallout though I heard the console version had a lot of bugs so I stayed away but now I might give it a shot. Loved skyrim when I was playing on me friend's Xbox. I think the best of it all is that some of these games will be dirt cheap since they've been hanging around for a while now
Skyrim you won't get for less than £20 anywhere, it's held its value incredibly well

Along with Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3 :smileysad:

Re: PC Gaming thread.

Diablo 3 isn't worth half it's current price... Inferno wasn't play tested properly, there is no real endgame & the RMAH is just being thrown in your face all the time.

Didn't think much of Battlefield 3 either to be honest.

Starcraft 2 though... I'm just plodding through the campaign at a snails pace. It's alright :smileyhappy:

One thing you have to remember about Sc2 is that it is an RTS. RTS have classically had terribad campaigns, SC2's is probably one of the best in a while, each mission is different and it has a few nice touches like the armory for tech choices on units. Story is a bit bleh though, especially in comparison to SC/SCBW.

 

As for Diablo... Yah. I gave up on Inferno. It's not even the fact that inferno wasnt tested properly, or no endgame, or the AH/RMAH. It's the hitboxes and rubberbanding. Hitboxes are completely broken throughout the game, you can get hit by melee creatures from a mileaway, making any well timed dodges etc impossible.

 

Most PC Games hold value really well these days due to most of them being pretty much digital codes now, hence the actual disks become useless and there's pretty much no used sales market to compete with due to the dominance of digital distribution on pc.

You haven't been able to trade in PC games for over a decade. Even before that, it was rare.

Re: PC Gaming thread.

Alas, I overlooked that one.

Didn't realise they were keeping their value so well. Nevertheless, I suppose they are cheaper.

I was talking about a gameplay POV :smileyhappy: It's the kind of RTS game that I like! I bought the game near enough on release and I hadn't really played it until this past week. Not stepped online yet, as my last real RTS experience was playing Warcraft 3 for 16 hours a day... Ah, nice times.

 

I shouldn't really moan too much about Diablo, as it was free :smileyvery-happy: But you're right, I hate that too... Especially as my Wizard is as squishy as a testicle. I had no desire to continue through Inferno after finishing Act II. Latency in a single player game? :smileyindifferent: A guild mate had made over 450 euros last week, so I guess some people like it :smileyvery-happy:

About time valve did something like this :smileyhappy: Too many times ***** games get on Steam just for having a publisher and then good indie games don't, should rectify it, hopefully.
