Why would that make you angry?
I bought Minecraft way way back when it was pretty new and nobody was talking about it for about $1.50. Like a month or so later, they dropped the survival update that put it on the map.
Got MC for something like $10 in their early alpha/beta period. Probably my most played game over the last 10+ years with how many times I’ve gone back to it and dived into one modpack or another. It’s just astounding the amount of momentum that game has had, with both Mojang developed content and fan developed.
Minecraft is grand! But I got kinda stumped when Microsoft bought Mojang back around update 1.8. 0, and instantly tried to screw up all the modders.
Some of the mods have come back, and many new created, but it just doesn’t feel the same to me. :(
I don’t think I got into modding until after that, after it got much easier to use. There are definitely some fantastic mods and packs being released these days though. It’s definitely still a vibrant scene.
Yup, a friend harassed me into buying the alpha two days before the deadline, while it was still 10E
I think I paid 12.99 and it’s crazy in this age DLC that I’ve gotten 10 major content updates completely free… I fucking love MC. Got 2 of my kids hooked on it too so far
I got Days Gone for $12. Didn’t play it for 6 months, then when I finally did it was the only game I played until I beat it, and it’s not a short game
I don’t like open world games anymore. I don’t stick to one game ever and I don’t usually bother with games over 25 hours but holy shit. Such an amazing game
It’s taking everything I have to just not start a new game + immediately
I liked this game too. I had to mod it right away to first person view, and after that it was enjoyable. Runs well on Linux too.
Days gone was an absolute banger.
I also bought it on a steam sale, and then let it sit for several months.
Well, more accurately I bought it, downloaded it, installed it, and then spent hours trying to get it past the boot screen without crashing. Finally fixed the issue. Spent the next hour or so posting the issue fix to various forums unlike the last 500 assholes who fixed their issue and then fucked off.
Then I played about half the game and got burned out.
Sat it down for about two months and when I picked it back up I couldn’t put it down again.
Had the same experiences with ghost of Tsushima, and last of us.
I also really liked this one. I’ve seen other people complain about aspects of the story, but I felt like the story hit me way harder than it had to to be serviceable.
The story was great. I liked the world. The score was fantastic.
Again, I hate long games. Like >25. I finished this at 72. I wanted to do so much
KOTOR. Bought it in 2012 for 2.24€ during a steam sale, not only I’m still playing it to this day, but its plethora of technical issues pushed me to learn new things about how linux works internally.
I bought Left 4 Dead 2 for $5 and I kinda feel bad about it in hindsight
Pretty sure the whole Orange Box goes on sale for 99¢ these days.
You can get every game Valve’s ever made (aside from HL Alyx) for like $8 in a bundle. It’s insane.
To celebrate Steam coming to OSX, Valve had Portal on sale for 100% off (as in, free).
Titanfall 2 for like 4$ cuz it’s rare to find it not on sale these days
Hands down the single best fps I’ve ever played. And an amazing campaign too.
Unfortunately the multiplayer has massively inflated skill curves now and is getting ddosed 95% of the time.
But still my favourite game of all time

Within this genre I’d add Halls of Torment for $5.
It recently blew up in early access and I’ve really enjoyed it.deleted by creator
It was closer to $10, but Wandersong was worth every penny. It’s a puzzle/platformer game where you play a bard, the main gimmick of the game being that you have to sing your way out of any problems you encounter. It feels like something that should get stale, but the game is always thinking up new ways to use the mechanic from communicating with ghosts, to making plants grow, to convincing bugs to move rocks out of your way. Great characters, great story, good soundtrack. Definitely worth trying if it’s sitting in your library from a bundle or a sale.
How about $0 for CS:GO?
I have not spent one red cent on that game and I have 1600 hours on it.
I got it for $3.75 and I’m at something like 2700 hours. Completely destroys the dollar per hour ratio of any other game
I am having fun playing defense grid: the awakening. It was $5 in a recent steam sale.
Brotato - such well spent 5$
Dave the Diver is 20 bucks, not a dollar, but it’s super relaxing.
FTL - Faster Than Light is my favorite game of all times and i`m not overstating. Its regularly on sale for around 2 dollars on steam.
I got it for a little over a dollar in the summer sale. It’s suprising just how fun the game is. Money well spent.
And, when you’ve finished the base game, try Multiverse. It’s a mod for FTL, really well made, and so big on content that base FTL is essentially the intro!
It’s a small game that people rarely ever heard of but https://store.steampowered.com/app/406150/Refunct/ Refunct is simple and awesome in its movement mechanics.
