    The most amusing thing was the Braid's gameplay was lousy. I digress! And the longing for a comparable game to a certain film that most people who talk about it never watched. Don't forget that. I mean, http://thecitizenkaneofvideogames.tumblr.com/ exists.

    How much you already spent on Steam Summer Sales?

    $13 roughly. There's been next-to-nothing worth buying that I don't already own.

    Does anyone even buy games full price on steam?

    Whoops. I mess up who quoted what and when quite often. I'm gonna go edit that now.

    Does anyone even buy games full price on steam?

    That makes it even more brilliant. The word "sale" also helps trigger an impulse purchase, because "I don't know when the price will go down again". Making the default price be at that level means that people will hold off because they can get it any time. Going back to Steam as an example...

    Does anyone even buy games full price on steam?

    1) It's harder to replicate a lower price in a retail situation since you have a physical product to produce and distribute. 2) People are more likely to buy something at a reduced price not because the price is lower, but because it's "on sale". JC Penney tried to get rid of sale prices and...

    At full price? I bought Scribblenauts: Unlimited, Crusader Kings 2, and Knights of Pen and Paper +1. So three games out of 187. More than one percent!

    Poll: Who Here Has Played Bastion?

    Normally I'm cynical about indie games, but Bastion is one of the best games ever made.

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    I think it's a tad bit more exaggeration than anything; it can be frustrating to promised a promotional item, then later to find out you already either have it or can't use it. That's why, for example, I find the current set of offerings (released and announced thusfar) on Games With Gold more...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    Oh, your regular library is definitely accessible if you cancel your subscriptions, it's the promotional ones I'm still somewhat curious about.

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    The PSN+ ones are no longer playable if you cancel your PSN+ subscription; however, you can resume your PSN+ subscription any time and get them back again. The Live Gold ones are supposedly "yours forever", but I haven't seen any word as to whether or not that includes if you keep them if you...

    Fable III wasn't THAT bad... was it?

    Please don't speak for everyone. I've already had more actual entertainment in Fable 3 in a few hours than I did with the first one. Relaxing and having fun. Why does a game need to be challenging?

    Worst game(s) you've ever completed

    You make a good point for sure. I always wonder why people put so much time into games they say they can't stand (the ones you mentioned being prime examples). It could also be a bi-product of the best game ever/worst game ever mentality that seems to be quite popular. There seems to be very...
