Steam Sales

It also gets you $9 credit towards Kingdom of Amalur which looks interesting.

For those of you who were waiting for Dungeon Siege 3 to drop to $5, it just happened! (not sure for how long)

Got it! Thanks!

Activates on steam too.

Even at $5 I would not touch that game.

I got a 5 dollar credit toward another game in January as well, so is it worth 0 dollars?

Nope.

[Timman_24]

Nope.

If the demo is anything to go off of, I agree.

I said I could hold out until $10, and $5 is obviously half that, so I bit. It takes a tremendously bad game to not even be worth $5.

Steam Sales have forced me to be more selective in my tastes. In addition to cost I must also consider time. With a back log of 20+ games, I can't justify acquiring mediocre games even if they are cheap or free since I have so many high quality games waiting to be played.

I'm more selective now as well, especially with the indie bundles that seem to be popping up like weeds lately, but as I mentioned the art style is intriguing to me (hooray for admitting to being a marketing casualty!) and I've been wanting something a bit hack and slashy. Also, the game has gotten some decent reviews from a few other boards I mention; nothing groundbreaking, but good enough.

To each their own. My personal opinion is its not a game worth wasting my time on.

Once in a while I like a game that lets me just turn off the brain and start hitting things with swords, so I'm hoping DS3 will at least be that for me.

It will do that. I finished the game twice. I played it on 360 and enjoyed it. At the time I was completely bored of shooters and was at a busy time when I didn't have much time to game and playing it in 30 min chunks here and there worked good. Some of the combos were fun but zero replay ability. I did it solo then couch coop with my son and sold it.

I played through DS3 about a month ago. It would have been horrifically boring alone, but honestly, with a friend it was fun. I bought it specifically because you can co-op the whole campaign locally on PS3.

One tip though - the game is super easy, but if you want any kind of challenge at all, don't pick Reinhart. He may start off slow on the damage, but once you pump and synergize his skills, he single-handedly wrecks everything. I went with him because I wanted to play a caster, and my friend playing the warrior gets really annoyed because I can wipe everything off the screen before he can get more than 1 hit in. I have to sit back and do nothing just so he can have fun too.

Admittedly, I'm pretty liberal with what counts as being "worth it" for video games. I'm considerably more stingy in other areas of my life.

For example, never signed up for itunes because I can't imagine spending a whole dollar per song. I still buy CDs for that reason, because I can find used CDs with 12-15 tracks on them for $6 or $7.

Then just rip them to iTunes. You know you can check CDs of music out from the library...just saying
