Games you paid "full price" for

Post » Thu Jan 06, 2011 2:09 am

Deadly Premonition
Alan Wake
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout New Vegas
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the starry sky

I believe that's it. The sad part is, aside for New Vegas and dragon quest, none of these games are in my collection. Why is this? Because I sold both Alan Wake and Deadly Premonition in order to help purchase what I thought was going to be my heavy hitter(Red Dead). Was this the case? No. Not quite. Beat it then sold it within two weeks. Now I just wish I could play the others again. Bad trade.

Tiger Woods 2012

at full price for sure, other games might be on that list too but I don't know.

Skyrim I might get the CE of, so yeah full price there too.

There haven't been many. The first Half-Life. Oblivion (only to wait several years for a PC that could handle it). Dragon Age. The upcoming Dragon Age 2.

When Guild Wars 2 comes out, I'll probably buy it at full price instead of waiting for the price to drop. Skyrim also. (Even though I bought the Guild Wars Trilogy edition and the Eye of the North for a combined price of about one new game, by waiting for years until last summer.)

I've gotten all 19 of my XBox 360 games brand new.

I think 5 of my PS3 games are new, 4 are used, and 1 came with the PS3.

In other words, I can't be bothered to list the titles.

I rarely buy games at full price, owing to an epic backlog. :wacko: Really. The last game I pre-ordered / paid full price for (prior to this past month) was Left 4 Dead 2. Which came out in 2009. And before that...I actually can't remember.

If I do pay full price for a game, it's because it's one I'm really looking forward to and want to play on release day, and there's just not that many games I feel that strongly about. With most I'm willing to wait for a sale. This year, on the other hand...I've already got pre-orders in on:

Portal 2
FEAR 3
Crysis 2 (...although this one wasn't technically "full price"--I used an Amazon gift card when I pre-ordered, so it was only $38USD instead of almost $60.)

I'll most likely pre-order Skyrim when that becomes an option, although I don't know if I'll splash out on the CE. Almost pre-ordered Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood full price, too, since Ubisoft finally scaled their DRM back to something approaching sanity. But then I realized the PC version of AC:B comes out three days before Crysis 2, and I still haven't played AC2. So...you lose, Ubisoft. :P Better luck next time.

For Skyrim i might even consider buying the collector's edition. And i never buy a Collector's Edition. You best be worthy of this honor, Bethesda :stare:

About all I can think of right now. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Tales of Graces f, The Last Guardian, Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are ones that I'm planning on buying around their release dates, though I may wait on Mass Effect and Deus Ex for the inevitable Steam sales.

Let's see how many I can remember:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout: New Vegas
ModNation Racers
Fallout 3 GOTY Edition
BioShock 2

Wow, that's less than I thought. As for the games coming out this year, I'll most likely get Portal 2, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, and Infamous 2 on release date.

Probably end up canceling a few preorders if certain Atlus games are announced soon.

Past year:

Fallout NV, twice. (PC and PS3.)
Fable 3. (Yeah yeah, say what you want, I like the Fable series! :P)

Future:

Skyrim or any TES/Fallout for that matter.

Any TES/Fallout related game I will gladly pay full price on release day. There a few games I would spend that kind of money on at release. Sometimes I get an itch, like with Fable 3. I did regret the steep price ($80 Can.) at first, even left the game unopened for 3 days after I bought it, but I finally did open and play it.

Using a gift card still makes it count as paying full price.

Not even Skyrim!

Nope. Faith and optimism are alien enough concepts to me at this point that "knowing a game will be worth it" is something I find outright ridiculous. Past games in a series, company reputation, and general hype are all things that have never been any kind of quality guarantee.

Last year: none

In general: first Call of Duty, Oblivion, Destroyer Command... and that's it I think, I mostly buy games in cheap re-editions.

The last game I paid full price for was Half-Life:2 - Episode 2. Before that it was Oblivion. Before that it was Half-Life 2. Those are probably the only games in my entire life, for which I paid full price. :shrug:

Reach and Fable 3.

I've had a lot of fun with Reach's multiplayer.

Fable 3 was a mistake.

Hmm... Darksiders: Hellbook edition. Imported it from England, got it for Christmas last year. Still haven't played it, aaaarg! :dead:

I think that's the only game I bought "on release." Everything I bought at lower prices (i.e. after a few years or a steep discount). My price-point tends to be $20 for a game I'm really interested in buying, $10-15 for something I'm not sure I'll like, and less than $10 for something I'm really unsure about. Like Two Worlds, though from what I've heard even $1.00 is one dollar too many! :P

I haven't bought any games on 2011 but I'm planning to get Skyrim, Witcher 2 and Shift 2 later this year.

The only games that I got in 2010 were S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Call of Pripyat and New Vegas.

I've paid full price for almost every 360 game I own except Hitman: Blood Money.

Wasn't satisfied with a lot of them, but I sold them later, making it okay. :dance:
