They're all still too expensive for me. Like Flight Simulator 2020. I do believe the effort they put into it is probably worth 35 €. But I wouldn't play enough for it to be worth 35 € for me. And I'm still salty about the time when they accidentally discounted it by 85 % instead of 15 % and snatched it right out of my cart when I was about to pay.

MODERATORS
I only bought games that cost 1.99 like portals 2 and undertale
That's how I ended up with so many games in my backlog
I don't think I'll buy Stellaris DLC unless it's 90% off
Is the game on sale?
Many DLC are.
Idk about the base game
The latest Indiana Jones game, because it’s too damn expensive. It’s normally $120 AUD and has been discounted to $95 AUD. When it’s below $50, then I’ll consider it.
Ghost of Tsushima amd ff7 remake because I'm waiting for steeper discounts
Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?
Hell Let Loose, simply no time.
I'm not sure if you meant literally no free time to play video games, or just not willing to make time for a perceived steep learning curve, but if it's the latter then maybe you could reconsider. The basics can be learnt very quickly via YouTube and it's possible to have quite a bit of fun casually playing an hour here or there as the Rifleman class simply treating it like a milsim Battlefield without ever diving into the deeper mechanics.
Don't know about what OP meant but for me it's no time (or willpower) to deal with communications. Because of this I never really got into the game. I would play (and a lot) if there was a skirmish mode with bots.
It's actually not a very comms heavy game now. Like some players definitely enjoy their milsim call-outs and coordinating more closely with their squad, but a lot of players like myself are just totally silent. It was added to Xbox Game Pass last year, and that has introduced a ton of more casual players.
Huh, maybe I should check it again some time. Thanks for the heads up.
The former; the gunplay, maps, and strategical aspects seem excellent, and it looks beautiful. But I spend about 20 minutes in gaming spread over Quake Live and FPV. SkyDive. These are perfect to just play a quick match or two.
Yeah that's fair, it's definitely not that kind of game. A match does take quite a long time (although you are under no obligation to stay for the whole thing, again like Battlefield). Hopefully you have some free time to try it out at some point in the future, if it's something you're still interested in!
any sims dlc or kit
I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.
