So far I've gotten the Bioshock Infinite season pass, Risk of Rain, and Paper Sorcerer.

I've played and beaten the base version of Skyrim. Is it worth picking up Legendary edition for $13.50 to get all the DLC?

I would say no.

But that is because I found the game faceroll easy (besides the first couple levels) even with mods.

If you are even the tiniest bit of a powergamer, Skyrim is ridiculously easy and you reach godmode about 3 hours into gameplay, which will kill your enjoyment really quickly. With the proper mods though, you can mostly fix that and get a full games enjoyment out of it.

Most Skyrim mods just add tedium and call it difficulty.

i was the same way with skyrim, probably ran the intro scenario like 11 times and every time just got bored and quit in the first hour. eventually i just said fuck it and told myself to finish, after about 4 hours i started to enjoy it and did finally finish the game over a period of a few weeks, a lot of the mods helped make it more interesting/fun and this was after all the DLCs were out. Some of the mods are just nuts, like the extended stories stuff.

still, overall i'd say my enjoyment of skyrim is like 6/10, its definitely a great game but i just don't get too immersed into that world, whereas something like assassins creed or mass effect or Saints Row or GTA is full out 10/10 chubby. probably a reason why i completely despised TESO from the first minute.

tl;dr version - get legendary edition (all DLCs), go to the nexus mod site and install the top 10 or 15 mods that look interesting, and force yourself to play for a few days. you get into it.

Personally I usually play TES games like thief, so if you just run at stuff and bash them to death, it can get boring, but if you utilize all the traps and pick off people one by one, it becomes way more fun, especially with some mods to make the fatalities better. Oh and get some weight limit increase, because remembering in which house I left some stuff can go fuck itself

Wasteland 2 at $40 seems like a no-brainer after I missed out on kickstarter for it so guess it and Van Helsing 2 will be first sale buys

The first Dragon Age is definitely worth it.

Antichamber is a pretty good game if you like puzzles.

These aren't just your Portal puzzles, there is some seriously wtf ow-my-brain shit in this game. But it IS awesome.

I would highly recommend The Swapper for $3 in the flash sale. 3 hours left.

Is Kingdoms of Amalur worth it? $6 for the game and all DLC.

The game itself is decent but I ended up giving up on it after about the 4th time a neighboring zone got level-locked at the minimum because I dared to wander even remotely close to it. Level-locking is awful design at the best of times, but KoA had the worst possible implementation of it.

If you can ignore the fact that a large part of the game will be filled with grey con mobs that drop no items you'll ever use, or you're willing to constantly check the map to make sure that you haven't uncovered even the slightest bit of a neighboring zone and reload your game when you do, then $6 isn't a bad deal for it with the DLC.

Sadly, there isn't even a savegame editor or trainer capable of resetting level locks... I looked everywhere.

I never played any of the DLCs and I played it on xbox quite a long time ago but the combat started off really enjoyable but then just gets extremely repetitive. The main story and a lot of the side quests are pretty boring as well. Also, at least on xbox there was always a ton of glitches in the game, either quests bugging out and not being able to complete them or armor/weapons getting stuck in your inventory and not being able to sell/put them in your bank. As for me, I had fun for about 10 hours into the game before it just got too repetitive/boring/glitchy before I eventually gave up on it. I still have yet to actually beat the main quest now that I think about it...

BL2 GOTY, Wolf Among Us, Tomb raider, Sleeping Dogs, Lone Survivor, Metro Last Light and Natural Selection are all totally worth buying if you don't own em

KOA is ok, same as everyone else its fun for a while and then you just get bored and stop caring/play. Its really stupid they adopted the MMO model of "here are a ton of stupid shitty quests, have fun!" quest hubs. i never finished either lol

good sale day

Did you try using artmoney? That's my go to now since most trainers be shit nowadays and end up fucking up the game.
