Somehow I have a free copy of Frozen Cortex in my Steam inventory.  I already own the game.  Anybody want it?

I had to get a refund on a game from GOG because it wasn't compatible with Windows 10, so now I have $5.99 in store credit to spend. Any suggestions?

If I haven't played a FIFA game since 13 and I'm only really interested in career mode because I know exactly nothing about this sport other than "kick the ball in the other side's net," is this worth picking up?

It's not a revival but it's a start maybe.

Personally i've learned to just wait for the entire season to be finished before picking the game up. As much as I want to play them when they come out, It's infuriating to wait 3-4 months for a new episode to get released and you lose half the plot.

By the time the whole season is available there is usually a decent Steam sale, too.

I think that's fair for the most part - it would help to alleviate some of the DLC cost at the same time if you do end up enjoying it.

I also don't have time for online multiplayer until probably summer, and it seems like that's what the game is mostly for since there is no campaign(seriously how the fuck is there no campaign) or galactic conquest type mode.

After watching the Angry Joe review of this game, I think I'll wait until it goes on sale.

I think Open Worlds are great for those who have time to play video games like that. I think part of the reason I'm not so fond of them is that I don't have the time to really sit and play and appreciate how awesome it really is. I feel like I'm turning into that adult that merely plays sports games or something.

It's like we're the same person.

X-Men Legends is a good suggestion too.

Wut. Half the map on Fallout 3 is linear. Once you cross into the city, there's only one way to get to places.

In my experience, I have not much enjoyed "open world" games because I like to be told a story. I get my game enjoyment from how the story is told to me. When I play a game like...heck, even Call of Duty...I enjoy being told "You are *character*, then investing myself in that character, taken from place to place and be told my story. I don't care much for open world games that don't "end" when the main story finishes (At least Fallout 3 and NV did that).

The biggest problem I have playing open worldish games like Fallout is that it's great having the freedom to dally and do side quests at my leisure as I go through the main storyline, but I never know when to then get on with the main story. Also because I can go anywhere, I can stumble upon higher-level areas before I'm "meant to". Usually when I play through these games I struggle to do anything other than "roleplay myself". I guess I've just lost my childhood imagination.  I'm starting to enjoy games like Fallout more, but these are still quasi-open-world compared to stuff like GTA - at least IMO.

I never got to the city.  I did a ton of side questy stuff and got bored with it because it felt like most of the game I was just running somewhere.

I got bored with Fallout 3 very quickly for the same reason.

Blitz The League was so damn good.

I've been playing Blitz 2 recently and it's just so fun.

I'd kill to see a sequel to Fight Night Champion and a new Blitz: The League game.

2K Sports has been releasing sports games with awesome career modes for years but EA Sports still can't be bothered to actually do it with Madden.

Is there an American football sim similar to the OOTP Baseball series?  OOTP was doing Beyond the Sidelines Football but that game seems to be either dead or a very long way off.  I've got Football Mogul but I just can't get into it.

They've probably had to deal with lots of complaining and refund requests from people that buy a game on sale the day before it becomes cheaper for a flash sale.

Universe is $60 for a worse EWR that lets you play the matches.

How'd you fare on the shoot fight ladder scaffold match?

In the one I remember, being thrown off the scaffold is how I broke my neck.

I've yet to actually get a good result in that game, too.  I've finished it twice.  Once resulted in a broken neck and I forget the other one, but it was a shit ending too.

SLAMMED! is really good. It is a text based choose your own story kind of thing, and actually really well written.

This.  SLAMMED! is awesome, if a bit bizarre at times.

This really needs to be announced for PC.

Maybe I'll pick it up on a Steam sale then.

Anyone know if this is coming out on PC at the same time as consoles this year?

Damn.  MyCareer is my favorite mode.  I guess I'll skip this year.

I can't afford PS+ to play the beta.
