Portal 2 is well worth it. Far more expansive than the first and much funnier (if you like Stephen Merchant).

I've just got Metal Gear Solid 5 in the sale and spent the underwhelming first hour crawling on my belly escaping a hospital while surviving many improbable explosions. I've never played a MGS game before and have obviously missed crucial bits of the lore, but I didn't realise there was so much supernatural crap in it.

I'll definitely get Portal 2. I don't know if I'll get anything else. I don't have a huge amount of time for gaming these days (says me who's reserved Valve's VR headset) and I still have some free GoG games I haven't even tried.

Oh cool, yeah L4D is fun. I bought it on sale years ago, not sure if it was 1 or 2. I played it a couple of times but haven't really made the most of it.

I've now got Portal 2 for 53p as I've already purchased Portal 1. Thought I might as well add Elite Dangerous as it's only £5.99.

FCND is in my library.

Hey, at least I didn't drunk-buy it.

X3N never came back  :-O

Reading through, I had to check the date to see how old this thread was! Portal 2, L4D? Go for it!

Is it ever not on? (fail)

The Talos Principal. £4.49. Fuck. That is all.

Is that the one Manthorp mentioned when I thought he was talking about Obduction? Tempted by that I think.

...and £25.50 less than I paid not 4 weeks ago.

Ouch! I take partial responsibility for selling it too big, though my conscience does not extend to even partially reimbursing you.

I console myself with the thought that I've wasted far more beer tokens elsewhere and that in the grand scheme of my profligacy it's a drip in my gin glass.

Also, it is quite a fun game.

There are three special, halcyon maps which owe a considerable debt to Roger Dean. I absolutely love the piece of music that accompanies them. The climax of the game is great, too.

...easily worth £30.

Did he try to sue them?

Does that mean you get 6 times as much fun from it?

Sadly not. However, I do feel obliged to try harder now.

6 times the pressure to actually play it :) You might not bother if you'd only spent £4.50.

I played the Elite Dangerous training missions last night. It's complicated. Mouse and keyboard controls are interesting. I'm sure a proper controller would make it easier. I managed the first combat training but failed miserably at advanced combat.
