I'm having waaaaaaaaaay too much playing GW2 to try anything else right now...
Is this like madlibs where we fill in the word? Oh boy, I'll play! How's this:
I'm having waaaaaaaaaay too much gastrointestinal distress playing GW2 to try anything else right now...

Deus Ex: HR being a recent example.
Funny, I'd say DE:HR was one of the best games ever made.

The game reviews are indicating a high level of quality
This is simply not true. That's what I've been saying and what, honestly, you guys should already know.
Game reviews indicate that game reviewers like the game. That's all they indicate. Actually, in rare cases they don't even indicate that (when the journalist is forced to post a good review via management/publisher pressure).
I'm not telling anybody not to buy the game. I'm pointing out that these reviews are completely meaningless, as they always are.

I have no idea how many I've missed (its been a lot since I've gotten ZERO from that), but never again.@NIN Thanks again for the BL2 Golden Keys this weekend man!
No problem! Anytime one came up, I was pinging anyone in the steam friends list who was online. I managed to snag all 5 this weekend, so I'm up to 9...getting harder and harder to wait until 50 to use them.

Guys, do you ever learn?
Of course the game is getting rave reviews. It's exactly the type of game that does so: one that pays lip service to classic games while still making the game, ahem, streamlined enough for journalists to understand and finish it. Deus Ex: HR being a recent example.
Now that I'm over 40 with kids, I see nothing wrong with that. However, being over 40 with kids means I'm not going to pay $60 for it either. Putting it on my buy-a-year-from-now-after-I-finish-Skyrim-and-BL2-and-Black-Mesa-and-DE:HR list.

The game reviews are indicating a high level of quality, the people here are already interested in the game, and they might not see $60 as a huge investment. Why shouldn't they buy the game?

It really surprises me that it's not higher in Steam's sales list. I wonder if a large number of Steam customers now just buy through GMG and thus aren't counted in the list.

I'd blame it on how little information there has been about the game, compared to other games coming out on the same day (XCOM), and a crowded market with BL2, TL2, and the WoW expansion.
Anything's possible, but I wouldn't say there's been "little information." Their marketing campaign has been pretty all-encompassing, and they've had quite a lot of previews on most of the major sites.
I guess there really aren't that many fans of the Thief-type gameplay...

Part of the problem is that it looks like the skills a) slow down the game, and b) are gimmicky and unbalanced (like the 'possess rat' power). Still, I considered it to be worth a gamble because of the discount - I wasn't interested paying full price.
I'm going to watch some Let's Play video's because I still feel like this game misses the mark for me.
