Gaming The Big Steam Amnesty

*Whew* only played 17% of my games with 714 hours logged. Killing floor takes 194 of those hours. I wouldn't want to see the amount of time I put into CSS back in the day. If only steam logged time back to when HL2 first came out.

 

And here I was feeling bad that I've got about half a dozen I haven't installed yet. Plus Humble Bundle 5, so there's another 6.

I totally forgot it was about to be Summer Sale time. Damn you, Steam! Damn you all to hell!

 

Wow, just finished the first portal because I started the second one and felt bad because I met GlaDOS at the start of the game and I felt guilty about not completing the first. Very glad I did, my first unlocked acheivement for that game was in feb 2010!
When I've finished that I have:
Warhammer 40K- dipped toe in
Napolean TW- Never installed
Mass Effect 2- Installed but need to add my ME1 files to it
The Witcher- Never installed
The FEAR sequels, Perseus Mandate and the other one.

I'll complete Portal over the next few days(nearly done I think) and move on to Mass Effect 2. I don't think I'll be buying much in this summer sale thanks to the two other sale purchases I never really played much and have come into their own thanks to the DAYZ mod, (Arma II and OA if you didn't know) once you've been to Chenarus you'll never go back. Survival Horror at it's finest and it's still just an Alpha!

 

Mine's bigger. Over 1100 games on Steam.

 

I love uplink - although I don't have it on steam. I bought it long ago, on CD, complete with the little security card (which, I discovered quite recently, is missing from the case).

I may have a trawl through steam, to see if it's still available; as I fancy another go.

I probably have around twenty unplayed games on my steam account - the usual dross left over from package deals, where 2 or 3 great games were bundled with a bunch of m'eh.

 

Love uplink. It's great for having a sneaky play at work as it doesn't actually look like a game!

Just picked up Deus Ex Human Revolution for £4.99...living the dream

 

I hope ARMA 2 is on sale. Looking forward to playing the DayZ MOD. Looks astonishing when coupled with TS and a few friends!

 

Such a good idea... I have like 60 games in my 'To Play' list...

 

I actually tried Uplink a while ago, but found the initial stages to be very boring. Seems it gets better once you get past the first few. I might reinstall it and give it a proper go.

 

It shows me as only playing 3.4hrs on SR3. I completed most of that game offline, hence why it doesn't show any numbers for it. For some reason they haven't written a local algorithm - guess they can't check it in case the system clock changes wildly when offline. Same with XFire though as well.

Some of the games I have came with packs, and I had already completed them for Gamerscore on the 360, so I won't be playing them on steam anytime soon,

 

Uplink - I thought you were referring to the HL Mod

 

I'm genuinely curious here - why do people spend money buying so many games that they'll likely never play? Is it a Pokémon kind of thing; you just gotta catch 'em all?

 

In my case it is more like a bundle thing. Like game X is let's say 15€, but a bundle with previous 2 parts is only 17€. And in that case many will say "maybe i will play it sometime" and buy the bigger bundle. And then that maybe changes to probably never .

 

I will never play all of my steam games or even attempt to. At 270 "games," that includes expansions and such, some are terrible and I never played more than 5 minutes of, some will never say I played them because I played them long before steam started tracking those stats for games or simply because I bought a cheap double copy of a game I really liked on steam during a sale for only a buck or two and still play the cd versions. Steam has become my digital backup of sorts, true, I might not have my saved data from disc games carried over to my steam account but the game itself will always be there and that's my piece of mind at night, ARE MY VIDEO GAMES PRESERVED FOR FUTURE USE. cuz ya know - steam will be around forever and if it's not mr gabe said he will get us our games if steam ever has to turn itself off

 

Busy playing all my Humble Bundle games on Steam.

Psychonauts falls under the category of a gem of a game which I had passed by until now.

 

I absolutely loved uplink - I did get it when it came out - complete with the matt black matrix-esque CD sleeve where you had to locate the code to validate the copy. Got totally immersed in it. Gave it to my first flame, and never saw it again, so loved picking it up in the Steam Sale, and it's a game that's stood the test of time. Still love it, and having played a fair bit of Cyberpunk (Tabletop) as well as writing a Netrunner fiction I get it so much more now, and still absolutely love it.

When I finish Skyrim, I might go for some Uplink before starting on my next unplayed game...

 

178 games in my library. 24 beaten, about as many are multiplayer only and unbeatable. That leaves . . . many many more that I've been trying to work my way through.

There are many though, that I'm just not interested in anymore. They never held my interest long enough to win. Still, it's been my goal this summer to play less L4D2 and TF2 and finally play my other games.
