I didn't have to worry about overspending during this sale, as there just isn't much worth buying. I grabbed Borderlands GotY (already had the second), Fallout 3 GotY, and Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition. I considered Age of Empires II HD, but I still have a lot to beat on Civ V, and I barely play it. The Doctor Who games didn't get cheap, and $6 was still too much for me to bite on Spec Ops: The Line, despite hearing it has a good story.
I was very tempted to buy the
Fallout games but yeah....motion sickness -_- (I know there's a 3rd person mode like in the Elder Scrolls games but I found them to be horrible to look at). Maybe next sale. But with so many games (including Skyrim) I would probably not be able to play the Fallout games until next Winter Sale^^ Can they be modded to the same extend as Skyrim?
Age of Empires II HD looks like it's not really worth if you already have the original game. It's said to have some issues in multiplayer and that it's not HD (just cranked up the resolution a bit, but not worthy of the "HD" in the title.
Personally, I'm not really into military-themed shooters but I've heard some great things about
Spec-Ops: The Line. Baffles me how this game gets overshadowed by games that tell you to "Press X to pay Respects" -.- I really like games that make you uncomfortable and challenge/force you to make decisions against your morality because they want you to experience exactly that discomfort and think about it. Rather than killing off civilians on an airport just to make people talk about the game.
