Seems a bit egotistical to be asking for myself here something that can't really be scaled to others (never mind that I have a strange sense of deja vu that I've asked this before), and also something that doesn't really involve GOG or the games it has, but I want to branch out the games I would play...
So I'm basically looking for recommendations of stuff to keep an eye out on when they dip below my buying threshold.
What I'm looking for is AAA (or at least not indie) games at least 2-3 years old (i.e. the point they get cheap in sales, but not too old, because I've got gog for that) games that I have not played. I realised a thing with my buying pattern that I want to change a bit..if I AM going to buy a game, it should be one that I have never played before (instead of buying only for nostalgia, or to keep something I already obtained and completed through...err...other means).
I'm mostly looking for Steam stuff, because gog doesn't really have AAA games younger than a couple years ago, and I can get indie games directly, or through here, or through humble bundle, and since I'm already dealing with Steam, I'd rather not have to deal with double layers of DRM or DRM from other distribution services (uplay or origin) unless the games are REALLY worth it.
So what games have I played/own already (and what sort of AAA games do I tend towards)?
If you can be bothered to go through this, try, although it is not complete, otherwise:
All the Elder Scrolls, all the Fallouts, all the Hitman games, all the Max Paynes, all the Thief games, all Half-Life, all the Telltale stuff, both Mass Effect 1 and 3, Darksiders 1, all the Civs (except the expansions to V), Walking Dead Season 1, all the Bioshocks except 2, all the Batman: Arkham games except Origin, all the Saints Rows games except 4, XCOM Enemy Unknown (but not Within), Borderlands 1 and 2, both Two Worlds, Deus Ex 1 and HR, all the GTAs up to and including San Andreas, Spec Ops: The Line, Alan Wake, Dragon Age: Origins, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dishonoured (but not the DLC, which I hear is good), Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Sleeping Dogs, Prototype (which I got in the summer sale using this same criteria), Saboteur, Assassin's Creed 1 and LA Noir.
Thanks in advance for indulging me.
