Is Borderlands 2 worth $30 bucks?

I played borderlands 1 but got it for free from a friend. Great for free. Certainly I would flip out and would never buy at $60 bucks.

Dang it missed Crysis 75% off.

Then the question becomes whether it's worth $90.

Honestly, it's a great game, but it's been $30 for a while. Unless you have some friends who want to go in with you on it now, I'd wait for the inevitable "Game of the Year" edition during the summer so you get all the extra levels while paying less than $30 for them.

I have it on PS3 and will probably replay it on PC eventually, just as I did with Borderlands.

Think I am going to gift tropico 4 and modern times dlc to my son....is the game any good?

Is it a game that is very hard to get your stuff built up?

I do not play this type of game, so I need some help

If someone bought the multi-game pack of Borderlands 2 and want to give me one, feel free! :awe:

True, game of the year edition is always a bonus.

I will be playing it alone.

I bought a copy earlier in the sale, and I am completely addicted to it now.

I just bought the base game, but now that the DLC is on sale, I'll probably pick that up as well.

My daughter has been asking me for the game, so I will pick up a copy for her as well.

Edit: I didn't answer the question about difficulty. It isn't too tough to build up, especially if you do the campaign first, since the campaign teaches you how to manage your island. It is a game like Sim City, with additional political gameplay mechanics.

Somehow I've managed not to buy anything from this Steam sale, but I did buy the D&D pack from GOG.

I bought a gifts for other people, but I have not bought anything for myself.

The sales this year have not been that good.

Wow, just wow,,, Doom 3 is up for community vote?

Has there been a single day that Doom 3 was not on sale? And now they want to put it up for vote?

Why are so many good games not going on sale? I would like to gift out the unreal pack, but its not even on sale.

Any thoughts on the best Tomb Raider game in the series? The entire series is $15, which is tempting, but one good title would probably be enough.

To me personally I'd have to say Anniversary, but opinions will vary.

I'd say you should expect 5 or so new deals for the remainder of this sale. Everything else will be a repeat from dailies, flash deals or votes.

By title I've bought far more on gog this time. What I love about the way they are doing sales this time is if you buy the group pack, they discount off the price for items you already own letting you get the deep discount even if only picking up a couple out of the 6-10 offered without waste like steam does.

Next major sale? Summer. There will be publisher weeks/weekends probably and the obviously midweek/weekend/daily deal sales as normal.

I liked Legend a lot, Anniversary is solid too. Can't go wrong buying both imo.
