thenexus6 Posted January 1, 2018 Because I am a big nerd I thought it would be interesting to keep a record of the games I bought and completed to look back on.

aoanla Posted January 1, 2018 Purchased: 02/09: XCOM2: War of the Chosen expansion. £34.99 26/09: Heat Signature (Supporter's Edition) £19.79 And then just in the Winter Sale: 27/12: Bayonetta Getting Over It (with Bennett Foddy) Opus Magnum £27.22 (total for all three) Completed: Nothing. (I'm about 10 missions or so from completing my first run through of XCOM2:WotC, and only about 15% of the way into a "completely unlocked" galaxy in Heat Sig, having just had sudden lacks of time with both of them and never having picked up the unfinished campaigns. I didn't really progress any of the games I bought Winter last year; and I'm about 80% done in Opus Magnum, and barely 10% done with Getting Over It - I've not started Bayonetta yet.) I've been playing fewer and fewer games over time, and buying even fewer than that - the last few years, the time over the winter holiday period has accounted for at least 30%, if not more, of my total gaming time over the year. I feel like I don't have enough time to even play the games I have, let alone buy more games - it's actively distressing to me that there's so much stuff that I want to play that I'll probably never have the chance to.

eot Posted January 3, 2018 I bought Doom / Wolfenstein TNO in last year's christmas sale, Axiom Verge and VA-11 HALL-A in the summer sale. Fired up VA-11 HALL-A once, but I had to stop playing before the point where it saved my progress so I never went back. Also bought a Capcom humble bundle (Resident Evil, DmC and some other junk). The only game I finished this year was Super Metroid for maybe the 5th time, on my sister's SNES mini over the holiday break. It was also pretty much the only thing I played all year. The SNES mini that is, not just Metroid. Also played a bit of Super Mario World, which I still don't think controls well and Contra III (the top down levels suck too much). I might buy one of those for myself. Why isn't Chrono Trigger on it though? edit: looking through my Steam history, the last game I bought on Steam that I also finished was Stanley Parable in late 2014 Oh, also bought ME:Andromeda but it was for my sister because she borrowed my PS4. Figured I'd play it at some point but now I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VA-11 HALL-A is probably worth giving another shout to, just for the mechanics being interesting - but I did find that it didn't go as deep as I would have liked it to (late in development, they removed a timer which would have measured how long you took to make cocktails - which makes it a more pleasant, chilled, experience to play, but makes a mockery of most of the "tests" people set you, because you have all the time in the world to leaf through the in-game cocktail recipe book...).

eot Posted January 4, 2018 I'll go back to it, I think I wasn't in the mood for what's essentially a VN at the time, and the first conversation with the journalist didn't grab me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cordeos Posted January 4, 2018 I bought a lot of games that I don't feel are really 'complete-able', especially the VR titles, which makes my list seem meager. I am getting better about not having a backlog of unplayed games. I think my most played game this year was Hearts of Iron 4 which I got in July of last year. When the China DLC comes out I will dive back into it. Ghost Recon Wildlands is also really fun despite having an awful story. It scratches my Rainbow Six Vegas 2 itch. The squad controls are not super advanced, but slowly marking and clearing a whole base of enemies without getting detected is very fun. Finished: Total Warhammer 2 #Archery Full Throttle (I still remembered the solution to almost every puzzle) Sniper Elite 4 Tacoma Xenonauts Assassins Creed Origins Purchased: Monumental Failure $10 Blood Bowl 2 $11 Genital Jousting $5 AudioShield $20 Total Warhammer DLC $55 #Archery $20 Call of the Starseed $12 Stellaris DLC $20 Full Throttle $12 Everything $12 Cities Skyline DLC $28 Star Trek Bridge Crew $50 Mountain $0.5 Sniper Elite 4 $40 Superhot VR $22 Sniper Elite 3 $12 Sky Rogue $7 L U N E $2 Shogun Total War $2 GORN $15 Tacoma $18 Total Warhammer 2 + DLC $77 Stardew Valley $15 Rez Infinite $20 Xenonauts $25 Heat Signature $13 Darkest Dungeon $10 Assassins Creed Origins $60 HITMAN DLC $7 Europa Universalis 4 DLC $7 Space Hulk + DLC $15 Castle Crashers $3 Crazy Fishing $8 Ghost Recon Wildlands $40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted January 4, 2018 I bought a bunch of games from the Steam winter sale for up to $20, spending I think around $150+. Examples I can remembmer: Opus Magnum, Rime, Human: Fall Flat, Edith Finch, Grow Up. Then on the last hour I decided to go with it and bought Assassin's Creed: Origin - I think the only AAA game for me this year, even at 30% off (I decided to limit myself to the demo of Prey). I just heard enough good things about it and the last drop was Jane Ng tweeting how she enjoyed the photo mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
