With my birthday coming up next week I'm likely to buy a lot more in here but the fact is, most of the stuff I play is never full price because to be blunt, I like to play really old games, crap, or really old crap! :D

Battlefield 3 and Crusader kings 2 come to mind...I'm positive there are others, but alas, they escape me at present.

Yep, same here. My last full price purchase was The Witcher 2 Collector's Edition, which was also a pre-order. Tomb Raider will probably be my next one.

Not many over my years..

NES Willow
Might and Magic VIII
Diablo III
Savage
Myth II

I think that's about it.

You remember the last NES game you bought!? Color me impressed! I want you on my team for the next trivia contest.

Depends what you mean by full price.
There are a few publishers which acknowledge the lower income for my country and release their games at about 30-35$. Those companies are Ubisoft and Square Enix (got Deus Ex: HR for about 20$ on preorder for example).

So the last full price games I got where Assassin's Creed 3 and Hitman Absolution, both in the 30-35$ range.

Off the top of my head:

- Sam & Max Season One
- Penumbra Collection
- Knights of the Chalice
- Machinarium
- Samorost 2
- Gemini Rue
- The Shivah
- Puzzle Bots
- To the Moon
- Time Gentlemen, Please
- Puzzle Quest
- Blocks That Matter
- Wizorb
- Home
- Retention

So generally only quite inexpensive indie games, except maybe for Sam & Max, because I was so excited about its release (but I payed part of the price with a gift coupon, not sure if that counts :D ). I didn't really regret any of these purchases, they were very much worth it, except for the last two, which fortunately were also the cheapest of the bunch. And I didn't manage to advance a lot in Penumbra, but maybe one day I'll try again.

Most other games I've bought were from the bargain bin, budget editions, second hand, cheaper re-releases of older games like here on GOG, slightly discounted pre-orders or release promos, on sale or included in a bundle. The most money I ever spent on a individual game purchase was 40-45$ and that was for a bundle of (nearly all) Telltale adventures and for a second hand copy of an imported, original language Icewind Dale Complete (1&2), in the days before GOG was around.

None. :D

For the last few years, not many. The frequency of sales and them contributing to my backlog has made me far more of a cheap ass when it comes to buying games. In the last year I think I've only bought 3 games without a sale or mark down, and they were cheap to begin with.

Symphony on GOG, though I did get a 10% pre-order discount. $8
Fez on 360 $10
Sonic CD on 360 $5

So yeah, the whole too many sales makes people cheap theory does work with me.

My last full priced game...


probably Skyrim or something.

Usually wait till they get cheaper. Don't want to just waste money on something that might
turn out to be disappointing.

The last one I bought was FTL: Faster Than Light for $10, an hour after it launched.

Blood Blowl (Normal Edition) because I wanted to play online with a friend who bought it as well.
How many times did we play, you ask?
Well twice in total...



Back when I didn't had a Windows gaming rig I bought most of games at full price, but games "felt better" or "more worth their money" back then.

Only game I bought at full whack in the last ten years was Call of Pripyat - and even that was at a competetive price with a bunch of free stuff, otherwise I'd have left it until the sales.
In fact, I've often bought second hand until DRM and shops suddenly purging their secondhand sectioons ruined that.
Good job theres GOG - the prices are comparable.

The last full priced game i bought was Dungeons of Dredmor and the expansions from Desura last week

Maybe I'm weird, I pay full price for around a dozen games per year. I'll pay 20-30 for 5 or 6 more around the big holiday sales.

The rest I pick up used or on discount.

I purchased 3 season passes in 2012, so far they've all been nice (still waiting for the bulk of the AC3 content).
