      That's smart. You still get a steady flow of games, they are games that have just been out for a little while. There is no reason you have to play them at release.

      Exactly. And there are so many games out there, it isn't like you will ever run out and not have something to play. You make the sacrifice one time and from then on you get games just as quickly as people who buy everything as it releases. But you get more DLC, more bug fixes, better walkthroughs, etc. And unless you are an old timer like me and have lived through the entire video game era, you can always just "start" with games from two years ago and never have to experience the lag.

      And there are so many huge, awesome games it can keep you busy for forever. Balder's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, Fallout, KOTOR, etc. The list just goes on and on.

      And if you have old consoles, the list grows too. I bought a PS2 after the PS3 was out for a year. Cost me almost nothing and for like $200 I bought the entire catalogue of games I could possibly want to play on that system. I was stocked.

          I played through all but the last level of KOTOR 2. Never actually beat it. I couldn't put KOTOR down. Played it for the first time on an Xbox I borrowed from a friend, and pissed off my parents in the process as my life disappeared for the duration of the game. LOL

            I rarely buy games until they've been out two or three years. Not deliberately, it's just how it works out. However, with watchlists on Steam, I've taken advantage of those a couple times. I don't know if DA3 will be on Steam though. Last I knew, they were releasing it on Origin primarily. It may be awhile before it hits Steam.

                    LucasArts really had an amazing collection of games over the years. Mostly long ago, but some real classics in there.

                              That's what I really want to see released, Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle.

                                  Holy crap, I didn't realize that Loom is available on Steam. I played way too much of that game when I was a kid. I always wondered why they never released a sequel.

                                    It is? How did I miss that?

                                        Probably one of my all time favorite games as a kid. I enjoyed Monkey Island, but Loom took the cake for me, deeper and much better story. The game mechanic, song weaving, was a fantastic addition to the generic point-and-click.
