Just picked these up, an hour or so in and I see why they are highly acclaimed. 80% off on Steam (came to less than CAD$5 for both).

I’ve been doing this for years now. Over the past ten years I’ve probably only bought about five games that were over £15.

Same here. Only 4 for over $10: The Wonderful 101, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes, and NieR:Automata.

Reminds me of the first time I played Portal. I was really excited for the "hilarious song" in the credits that all the reviews were raving about.

Imagine my disappointment when I finally get to the end, only to discover that the "hilarious song" was just Still Alive...

I bought the game shortly after release, but within a week it had already been memed to death and back again. I hadn't been disappointed that much by a game ending since the NES days.

I had the opposite. I played it about 6 months after release, I'd heard all the "the cake is a lie" memes, but somehow I hadn't heard that song and it caught me totally by surprise at the end of the game. It was such a good experience.

The portal 2 song is good too, but nothing like the feeling of beating the first game and hearing Still Alive.

AKSHULLY Portal 2 featured two original songs: Want You Gone by JoCo, and Exile Vilify by The National.

The tiny piece of opera when ascending the elevator at the end of 2 truly moved me. Only game ever I've shed a tear on.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
