So, it is around holidays that I stress out. I always stumble upon some money. In this particular event, I got 60 USD. Now, I am dedicating all of that to games. What I buy is the question. I have narrowed down the games I want. DayZ which is 30 dollars, Dark Souls 2 which I can get for 30 dollars, WatchDogs, which will cost 60 dollars and Spiderman 2 for which I can get for 15 dollars. What do you guys (and girls) think? Thanks, and Happy Easter!

EDIT: Dark Souls 2 will not cost 25, it will cost about 30 dollars at the most.

Dark souls 2 and The Amazing spider man 2 all for 40 dollars? Where are you buying them from? And I would recommend DayZ if you want a longer experience

Pretty sure Dark Souls 2 is region locked.

Yea, you were right it is. But I know a guy who will do 16 keys for it and I know a guy who sells keys for 1.8 USD, so its all good.

You know a guy... Dark Souls II? Are you sure that is a safe trade? I'm not at all.

Yeah. He is a friend in real life, so it's all good.

Ok, but if you or your friend get the game bypassing the regional lock, I still would call it unsafe.

No bypassing. I have a ton of games that I wouldn't dare risking.

DayZ is not everyone's boat, it's not my boat since i seriously DETESTED in the mod and a friend let me play the standalone game on his account, i didn't really like it that much, you'll know you'll like it if you are up to wasting time wandering around and then suffer the mind-weight that is "i could have learned an instrument during the time i played that game!"
Dark Souls 2 is also not everyone's boat hahah, it's really hard and punishing so make sure you are good at vydia games.
Watch dogs looks seeeriously fun with all of the hacking'n stuff, it's an original game with some Dark Souls elements like invasions so the game world will feel like it's living and not dead.
I can't judge amazing spiderman, sorry. There's a website named G2A where you can get most of the games for the cheapest price, i got dark souls 2 for 23.99 and i'm really happy, just waiting for it to release D:

** Dark Souls: Hard, be professional gamer first .....
Yeah no. Dark Souls is fun, but holy fuck people, it's not that hard and you don't need to be a "professional gamer" ... every casual can beat that game, if he's not completely retarded that is.

The thing is that i know alot of people that just rush through the game and not carefully explore it, resulting in a rage quit because of seriously dumb death and they may never come back, wasting their money for a game they think is redudant.

So the G2A site, where you got DS2, it is legit? Have you used the site before and never got a game revoked?

If you don't buy from the marketplace, which is the place they let people sell their games you'll be ok since you are buying from the retailer itself.
I have bought 2 times dark souls 2, for my friend and i, still have not received the keys because OFC it's a preorder but used it before with many other games and all have worked.

Just found out that it was 23 dollars because it is the Russian, region-locked version. 41 dollars for ROW.

After taking a look at your account, I must say that if I were you, I would just wait.

Here are the reasons:

  1. Dayz is in my opinion an over-hyped alpha and you might not like it.

  2. I see that you have only 0.8 hours put into Dark Souls and despite the fact that the developers promise that the PC port of the sequel will be a lot better than that of the original, the Dark Souls games aren't for everyone.

  3. Watch_Dogs looks promising, but pre-orders are still risky in my opinion, so I suggest that you save the money and wait, if Watch Dogs proves to be good you can get it after you've read some reviews and saw some relevant gameplay videos.

I only put 0.8 into the first game because the graphics weren't good and I just couldn't get into it. The framerate for me was pretty good. I may just pirate the 2nd one, and if I like it buy it. I appreciate the detailed analysis!

Wait for release + gamers reviews + patch + more patch (+ GOTY)+ sale.

Buy Far Cry 3 and Borderlands 2 instead.

Except if you check my thread, my question wasn't on any random game I should buy, it was asking which of the games I mentioned I should purchase. I already own those games...

I read, pre-orders that you know nothing about(buggy, incomplete, short or bad) beyond what marketing shows...none.
Then remove them from your wishlist.

Except Dark Souls 2 is already out, so I DO know about it. DayZ is also in Alpha, not a pre-order. I am a gigantic fan of spiderman so I will enjoy it no matter what and I was not going to purchase WatchDogs until release, so my statement stands, your answer was far away from what I was asking.

Get Dark souls 2 and Spiderman 2 :P Wait for the sales to get WatchDog, 60 $ is damn high XD
And for DayZ, i dunno, i'd wait for the full release because right now it doesn't look very enjoyable :/
That's all just my opinion :P

Don't preorder anything, or at least wait until reviews come out.

I agree, I don't preorder.

Huh, I would wait for sales instead of spending all my money for full price...
But anyways. DayZ is buggy is hell, you should wait for full release. Watch_Dogs is a good choice only if you really want to pre-order for such a high price. Dark Souls 2 and Spiderman 2 are a good choice.

Half of the games I mentioned aren't full price...
I think I will purchase Spiderman 2. I know I won't purchase DayZ anymore.
