[KM2]

the Shogo/Septerra Core dual pack.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Mass Effect 2. Been purely digital ever sense. If steam shut down, i'd be screwed

 

[krioto]

Total War: Shogun 2

 

[Kolx]

AoE 3

 

[Chakan]

Witcher 3.

 

[chaosblade]

The Orange Box, I think, since it was cheaper than buying it digitally. Not really any difference in that case since it's basically just a Steam code in a box.

 

[watdaeff4]

Diablo II

Spoiler

was never a big PC gamer

 

[Skunkers]

I bought the Collector's Edition of Reaper Of Souls.

Other than that? Dunno, it's probably been over ten years.... Star Wars: Empire at War maybe?

 

[viewtiful_dru]

Steins;Gate

 

[M3z_]

Witcher 2, Target was selling it for $20 when the xbox 360 version came out.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Probably Diablo III

 

[tearsintherain]

i bought divinity original sin for like $15 at best buy a few months ago, it was on clearance. basically just a steam key in a box (had a disc too, threw that away) but I still haven't played

 

[DocSeuss]

Arkham Knight because Steamworks and sales.

 

[JesseZao]

Starcraft II

 

[eMpTy23]

WoW: WotLK.

Apparently it was released in 2008. I may not have remembered the date, but I can remember the last few hours of that night pretty well.

 

[doctorcdcs]

I have X-COM 2 and Starcraft II pre-ordered for retail. I enjoy buying physical copies of games when I can.

 

[ayob]

Grand theft auto V & steins;gate

 

[Hamster Plugin]

GTA5.

Currently wondering whether to buy MGS5 or a new GPU which would include the game anyway. At €45, buying a physical copy is currently the cheapest way to get MGS5 PC if buying an Nvidia code from someone doesn't count. Digital game prices are ridiculous in Europe.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Oh right I have battlefront pre-ordered as well for the pc through amazon.ca

 

[Dsyndrome]

Wildstar technically as I haven't paid for the fallout 4 pipboy edition yet.




It is?

Zenimax games come with a Steam key (Skyrim, etc.).

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Fallout 3 CE.

 

[Last Hearth]

Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, and before that Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty

 

[JJDubz]

Pillars of Eternity CE

 

[nib95]

Bioshock Infinite.

 

[pottuvoi]

Got physical copy of Eliteangerous as a backer, haven't opened it yet.

 

[BTM]

Sim City 4. I still play it quite a bit actually.

 

[Revolutionary]

Half Life 2. G-Man box

 

[Gen X]

Skyrim and it came with the hardback official strategy book too for free. Book alone was worth the cost of the retail game imo so it was a win/win.

 

[Daingurse]

Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition, I honestly like the tin case. Have it on my work desk.

 

[Macrotus]

I think it was WoW battle chest.
I've been buying the expansions digitally and other PC games on Steam.

 

[Crayon]

Morrowind GOTY. Glad I did, too because I feel kinda like playing it lately.

 

[Cyrix]

Syndicate (2012)

Amazon had new in box copies for like 7 bucks.

HAHA still do: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050SY9WC/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[bobawesome]

I bought Assassin's Creed 1 and Borderlands for some strange reason in June 2011. They were pretty cheap and are still sitting on my game shelf. I played Assassin's Creed for all of five minutes.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Think it was a Hitman Collection (first three) from a bargain bin. Was probably a good four or five years ago.

 

[mjolnirsbane]

Half Life 1

Does this win the internet, cause Steam reasons?

 

[Enthus]

I buy Blizzard Collector's Editions.

 

[Mush]

A copy of The Witcher 2 Collector's Edition that was on clearance.

I've yet to open it.

 

[Rajang]

League of Legends.

 

[mjolnirsbane]

I buy Blizzard Collector's Editions.

Is this where future hard copies are relegated? Collectors Editions?

I mean, let's be fair, there is almost no reason to buy a hard copy of anything these days, unless it's for the swag.

 

[AntiFacebook]

I mean, let's be fair, there is almost no reason to buy a hard copy of anything these days, unless it's for the swag.

pretty much

 

[SolarMystic]

Heart of the Swarm, but that's only because I got the collectors edition. Before that was back in 2012 I think, Shogun 2.

 

[.Anema]

Doom 3 hahahaha

 

[kuYuri]

The Evil Within since it was cheap.

 

[ArclightBorealis]

Last one I bought was a CD Jewel case for Terra Nova Strike Force Centauri that I ordered online. This was in fall of 2013, so the GOG version wasn't out at that point and back then I had little faith it would ever find its way there.

Pretty much my only reason for getting physical copies of PC games at this point is if that they're old titles that I cannot get anywhere else.

 

[Louis010]

World of Warcraft TBC. I don't even have a CD drive in my new pc so I never think of looking at physical copies of games

 

[inpHilltr8r]

Bought the wife the elder scrolls anthology thing for her Alienware Alpha, earlier this year. Of course the discs will probably never see the insides of a drive thanks to the steam keys in the package.

 

[dude]

Pillars of Eternity.

If that Kickstarters don't count, then I think it may be Starcraft 2.

 

[Putosaure]

Arkham Knight.

And I sent it back to Amazon. Does it count?

 

[Justinh]

Definitely a Blizzard game, because I like their special editions

Spoiler

sucker on forehead

so I guess Reaper of Souls?
Well that's an expansion, so I guess Heart of the Swarm?
Oh wait... I guess Wings of Liberty, then.

 

[KKRT00]

Skyrim, but i just used steam-key anyway.
Still map and soundtrack was nice addition, i never used.
It was cheaper than any digital option, so thats that.
