I really enjoyed AC4 even though the other games in the series didn't grab me. AC4 is the first game in the series I ever finished. I was very close to pulling the trigger on AC3 after reading your post. At $5 it's a pretty good deal. Then I thought about it for a second and came to the conclusion that I would likely never play this game.
The chart you posted a couple weeks ago about how few people complete games on Steam made me question my habit of buying just about anything with a decent review score if the price is right. I'm trying to change that behavior. Now I ask myself If I will ever actually play these games before pulling the trigger. If the answer isn't yes, or at least probably, I'm not buying unless it's practically free. PC deals are often great but if you aren't actually going to play the game it doesn't matter how great the deal is. You are still wasting money.
I'm sure I could get my $5 worth out of AC3 but I just have to many games to play to waste time and money on something I'm only slightly interested in. This is especially true with an annual release franchise like Assassin's Creed. By the time I get through my priority games and even think about launching AC3 the release for this year will be out and available to rent on my PS4.
