Greenman Gaming have another 24 hour deal, this time on Alan Wake (Steamkey) £7.80
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/action/alan-wake/

Cannot recommend this enough; the CE price isn't live yet but I recommend getting it once it is (Should be ~$11-$12) as the OST is worth every penny.

American Nightmare is great too but I'd wait for a sale (I didn't and don't regret it, but it's SALE SEASON).

Crap, there is a CE? does the regular edition not contain the extra episodes?

 

[JaseC]

Both editions come with the same in-game content. The CE extras are:

- Developer Commentary Videos (delivered via PiP, IIRC)
- Illustrated PDF Book
- Soundtrack

I saw that and it's like $10 by itself. Not worth it.

 

[abracadaver]

Will the sales start on monday ?

What? The CE is $11.88 and includes everything the regular edition ($10.18) has, plus the stuff in JaseC's post.

Oh phew. I have the stuff from the console CE so I am fine then

He's referring to the upgrade available on Steam.

Edit: Here we are.

It would have been nice had that been the option when I bought Alan Wake earlier. It was listed as an "upgrade" that was $10 by itself, no discount.

This was on gmg

 

[RibbedHero]

No one knows, or will know, until it actually starts.

 

[Chittagong]

Here are my wishes for the summer sale

- Alan Wake American Nightmare
- Assassins Creed Revelaitons
- Max Payne 3
- Witcher 2
- Skyrim
- Mass Effect 3

Spoiler

cries

Will bite if any of these are on good offers. Also, Ridge Racer Unbounded is a buy if it's 75% off

 

[JaseC]

I wouldn't pay more than the price of a movie ticket for Max Payne 3, because you'll spend far more time spectating than playing.

Edit: Spectating, not speculating, haha.

Edit 2:

[The frequency of cutscenes] really is ridiculous, and the entire game is like that -- at no point do you play for more than 10-15 minutes at a time (excluding retries, obviously).

 

[matrix-cat]

Alan Wake bought. Hopefully it'll only be a few days before it turns out Steam has it even cheaper

 

[Family Fry]

Man, when I posted the deal with Alan Wake I didn't know the Collector's Edition was due to be discounted also, they hadn't put price yet. Sorry.

 

[Tess3ract]

Yeah that's what I was saying. I missed out on the CE version because it was as an upgrade, and didn't count the base game.

 

[Cade]

Ah, right, I forgot that was an option. The pricing on that is a rip-off, yes.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Alan Wake bought. Hopefully it'll only be a few days before it turns out Steam has it even cheaper

Yeah, that's why I'm holding out. That deal is ONLY 66% I will wait for 75% during the summer sale lol. Don't get wrong $10 is great but I've played it on 360 already lol wouldn't mind another run through though.

You could get it for $7 if you haven't used the Disciples 2 trade in credit yet.

 

[Visualante2]

Only thing I'm really hoping for is Rayman. Expect it'll be a daily but hopefully one of the earlier days. It's so depressing waking up and thinking, the Steam sale is probably the only thing I have to look forward to.

++ I'm hoping for Rayman too

 

[Stop It]

Yep, I had that + Dark Sector to trade in because I had never played that so only paid £3 or so for the collectors edition. I still think Steam will probably end up with the game at 75% off next week or something but because of my credit GMG is cheaper.

Edit: Went for the CE because I'm a sucker for a soundtrack.

I bought that for £10 in the last Steam deal for it, well worth that too. If it goes to 75% off anyone with half an interest in platformers should buy it, no question.

Finally got to level 4 in Grimrock. Effin' spiders SUCK! I recommend people pick this game up during the Steam Sale if they are the least bit interested. This is the game that finally pushed me over the edge to get a new PC and I haven't regretted either purchase one bit. So great.

I love this PC renaissance we are experiencing. What is old is new.

 

[wutwutwut]

Got a giant bonus from work just in time for the sale. Yay.

Im on floor 9 now. Some of the intricate transfloor pathways become very interesting.

 

[Relax.MX]

I've had in recent weeks and a lot of work and not been aware to sales or anything, for example what is "Disciples 2 trade in credit"??

It's a promotion that Green Man Gaming did where you could buy Disciples 2 for $0.00 then trade it back in the next day for $5 credit on the Green Man Gaming store. Any discussion of that promotion in this thread relates to using that free $5 voucher on Steamworks games on the GMG store.

 

[benjipwns]

Played a bit with Sweden, game crashed, beat Prince with the Celts and am now playing a Prince game with Carthage.

Cheers for these updates, I didn't bite because I was leery.

Going to stick to Vanilla and NiGHTS for now, maybe try some other total mods.

I don't know what happened but I only have $3 (I used to have $5)

 

[kaskade]

Actually one of the games I'm most excited to get during the sale is Portal 2. I never bought it for the Xbox since I figured I would rather play it on PC which I finally now have.

You haven't played Portal 2?

Try and find some other Portal 2 virgin to play co-op when you get through. It's even more fun that the already great single-player.

 

[Relax.MX]

Mmm AW now or in the Steam Sale??? mmmm

I don't know what happened but I only have $3 (I used to have $5)

Gracias "amigo" por avisarme sobre esa promocion

 

[Sysgen]

Haven't played it either. I play all of my shit backlog games 1st.

 

[Twinduct]

Oh well, seems that there is still some region locking going on with Vindictus.
SA here, account is fine, but once I try to 'start the game', inside the main menu, I get 'Blah blah, can't authenticate account, try re-logging into the website first'.

Even running the client itself without steam, I get the same error (although I have to input my username/ pass before getting the error).

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[ShaneB]

Count me as well as a Portal 2 co-op virgin Played the SP around christmas time, but wasn't really able to play co-op because I was back home for christmas and pretty busy.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh god the AI hasn't changed much in Civ 5 expansion? Damn! I really hate it when you can't improve your relationship with them and it ends up with spamming denouncements.

 

[Levyne]

My 360 version of portal 2 was stolen before I could play the co-op. Not sure I liked the game enough to want to re-buy it though. It'll probably be too cheap to not replace on pc though

 

[SteveWinwood]

It'll be like 5 bucks. And you arguably missed out on the best part.

 

[Volcynika]

Vessel 67% off is the daily.

Nice deal

Oh, awesome. One less game to buy during the mid-year sale!

 

[gdt]

Okay, is something fucked up, or is Driver supposed to look like this?

The car models look great, just the weird peds and building textures.

Most definitely the former.

 

[gdt]

Most definitely the former.

Shiiit, I'll just reinstall.

 

[JaseC]

Shiiit, I'll just reinstall.

A clean install of the latest AMD/nvidia drivers couldn't hurt.

Edit: I'm probably too late, but try verifying the cache before uninstalling the game; it's entirely possible that some of the texture files are corrupt.

Edit 2: Bah, I can't type tonight.

 

[Joe Molotov]

That's the way Driver is supposed to look....if you're playing Driver 1 on the Playstation.

 

[Speevy]

I'm going to freak out if this sale doesn't start soon.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Looks awesome. I'll try out the demo to see what it's like.

http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/action/alan-wake/

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... My no sale policy... How big are the chances of this being cheaper in the steam sale?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... My no sale policy... How big are the chances of this being cheaper in the steam sale?

Look at Alan Wake's MSRP. Realize that it will be 40-60% off for the summer sale, 66-80% if it is featured as a daily deal. Compare the numbers.

The only real exception for this is games that might end up in bundles. For example, there might be an Alan Wake + American Nightmare bundle that is even more aggressively priced. Or if you want to buy, say, Battlefield 3 Syndicate ... Just Cause 2, you might also find that there's a full-publisher pack that's more aggressively discounted (say $49 for 30+ games from a publisher)
