Battlefield 3

Not on Steam. 
 
Basically, what constitutes a good Steam game to buy depends on what your "Too Low Not to Buy" price threshold is. I have around 200 games, and have paid less than $4 on average for all of them (Package deals will save you a ton). I bought all 3 of the Stalker games for around $7.00.  I basically only buy games at the Holiday and Summer sales, and then I just play that backlog until the next sale.  I only buy games outside of those sales if there are specific sales on. Never buy games on Steam when they aren't on sale because they will be at some point.
 
For full price, Skyrim. It's the only game on Steam I've paid full price for. But that's because I know I'll get hundreds of hours out of it. 
 
Edit: Here's a tip, watch for the Humble Bundles that pop up from time to time (they aren't on Steam but people will post about them on here. It's a charity organization). Almost all of the games include Steam keys and you pay what you want for it (always pay over the average because they give you extra stuff). I've got around 30 games for 30 dollars from it, and the games they threw in for paying over the average include Trine, Machinarium, Braid,The Binding of Isaac, and more awesome indie games.

I hope it's HD remakes. If it is just ports to Xbox Live I won't get them because I already have all of the good ones. I still keep a copy of Tony Hawk 4 with all my Xbox games and play it regularly.

Who cares about all that other crap fixes like no more backwards dragons and flammable flame atronachs; THE BOOKSHELVES HAVE BEEN FIXED!!!! 
 
Also for PC people, LAA is on the docket potentially for next week so you can finally use 4GB of RAM without having to do workarounds. A nice addition for me at least.

Cool, I might actually start playing the game again now with all of this (after everyone started unlocking the broken stuff and abusing it instead of actually playing the game things got kinda dull). I'm glad they fixed that IRNV scope, and made it so burst fire is better at mid-long range like it should be.
  
I'm glad they're fixing the AN94. It is absolutely useless in its current state.  The burst fire mode felt awful and overall the gun felt worse than all the other guns.

I liked it. Something about the end of the emperor assassination plot didn't really stick to me, but I think it was a good story, with good twists. I also loved how they managed to portray Cicero's insanity without making him that annoying.
I keep reading all your posts in Day9 voice!!!! 
 
Is there more main questline stuff after you keep doing the missions for the Night Mother enough like the Thieve's Guild?

Started as a Khajiit but bailed on it at around level 10 because I spread my skills to thin (and only levelled non-combat skllls) and couldn't kill anything. Now I'm a high elf.

I've been playing it on the PC since day 1, and even after the patch I have yet to see a single glitch 40 hours in. My magic resist still works too. Am I missing something?

It's possible it is PS3 specific, but that kind of bug looks like it shouldn't be. I certainly have experienced the magic resistance bug on PS3, but no other major issues (not even the frame rate stuff it seemed everybody else had).

Nope. I've tested it on PC and you can totally burn flame atronachs to death now when I know for sure the spell I was using (fireball) never used to damage them in any way. I also tested with frost atronachs and frost spells and the same result occured: they died to what used to not hurt them (and that thing would pop up saying they are immune). My guess is this applies to all platforms.

Nooooooooooooo

Steam updated it even though I set it to manual updates only! AARRRGGGHHH

I quick travelled and found 3 dragons, and none of them flew backwards. However I totally burned my flame atronachs and froze my frost atronachs to test and it worked. :(

Time to disable automatic patching on Steam so I can play the game without it being completely busted.
