Amazon PCDD Mayhem Sale 5/16-5/31 (This sale is actually quite good)

Quick, someone talk me out of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. I'm a hardcore Ace Combat fan, but it's probably my least favorite "mainline" title in the series. That price is pretty tempting and there are no other Ace Combat options/games on the PC so I feel somewhat obligated to check it out. Anyone know if the online community is active? I can't imagine there being too many old school Ace fans playing Assault Horizon nonstop, lol!
 
Is War in the North worth $5? I heard not-so-great things about it when it came out, but there's a difference between a game not being worth its original price and not being worth your time.
 
Is Iron Brigade worth playing if you don't play coop?

I found it pretty bland even in co-op and certainly have no drive without my pro friend playing carry for our group.

I enjoyed it on the level of being a total whore for LOTR. As an action RPG it's pretty inoffensive, but there isn't much special about it either.

It's cheaper on steam page itself right now right? I'm not helping I'm just making it worse
 
I have $5 in amazon credit, so if you'd like me to buy something for you to trade for an equal amount of games from the steam store, let me know.

You should buy it on Steam.

I've been a fan of Ace Combat for a long time, I've owned them all except Ace Combat 2 on the PS1 and this game was a blast of fresh air. After the blandness of 6 I really liked this game and it was the first AC that my non-AC playing friends really dug too.

Not what you asked for but what you needed :D

Well if you're offering I've been eyeing Space Marine. I have Mark of the Ninja, Toy Soldiers, iron brigade, and I believe darksiders.

Would trade them all for that.

Sorry, mainly looking for people with extra steam wallet monies. I'm looking to get BitTrip Core and Void. ($2.49 each).

I'm gonna sleep on it. Sale continues for a bit, right? I already own the game on PS3, cleared it once, checked out the multiplayer for a bit, but have never returned to it. I liked certain things about the game, but overall it was a huge disappointment. I'm just curious how the community is. I haven't checked the PS3 version in ages, but I assume it's mostly dead (unless there's some cool, hardcore Japanese group still rocking it, I don't know). We'll see how I feel tomorrow, lol!
 
I really disliked it, both single and co-op. The concept is awesome, the execution is very mindless and awkward, at least in my opinion.

Iron Brigade was too hard in SP. Coop was a blast but i was lucky to play with some really cool dudes.

Thanks, sounds like a pass then. I doubt I'll be able to convince any of my normal crew to buy a tower defense game. My backlog is long enough as it is anyway. :P
 
Does Saints Row 2 activate correctly outside the US?
I have some vague memory that it didn't (gave people the german version), but wanted to know before pulling the trigger.

Also, Sonic Racing Transformed is so bought

EDIT: after some googling, turns out the gamersgate keys were the ones with this issue a couple of years ago, so nothing to worry it seems.
 
Someone help.

Interested in:

Sonic Generations - I feel like steam will do cheaper than 9.99 in a month
Binary Domain - Never seen a steam sale. Been $4.99 on amazon at least twice before
Dark Souls - I want it, but I'm not even 1/4 the way through Demon's Souls yet


WHAT DO??

Don't buy Sonic Generations alone. You can get the Ultimate Dreamcast Pack ($8.49) or the Sonic Action Pack ($9.99), both of them include Sonic Generations plus other games (the Sonic Action Pack actually includes the DLC).

The Sonic Action Pack is a GREAT deal btw.
 
Picked up

Mark of the Ninja
Lego Batman 2
Lego LotR
Deus Ex
Dark Souls

Gonna check back for that GTAIV + Max Payne 3 Combo

Just get Dark Souls. Binary Domain if you REALLY feel it after watching a review, I guess.
 
Sorry if this has been asked or is a stupid question, but I'm thinking about buying a Mac Book next month. Is there a way to tell which games are compatible? I've never done much computer gaming but with these sales, I'd love to pick up a few titles like Binary Domain.
 
Thank you for the suggestions!

Yeah, DS & BD can wait. That sonic pack seems like a good deal, especially with Unleashed Project to try out.

You can check each game's page on steam for the system requirements. For example, Binary Domain is Windows only.

OS: Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66 GHz or AMD equivalent
Memory: 2GB RAM (XP)/3GB RAM (Windows 7 / Vista)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT220 (512MB) / ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (512MB)
Hard Drive: 8 GB free hard drive space


Recommended:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 2.66 GHz or AMD equivalent
Memory: 3GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1GB) / ATI Radeon HD 5750 (1GB)
Hard Drive: 8 GB free hard drive space

It is also a game with pretty beefy requirements for laptops, similar with sonic generations. I would get one of the macbooks with a GT 650m or higher. You'll be good to go for 720p - 1080p gaming.
If your workload is not dependent on the apple ecosystem, I can suggest to you to try this thread of gaming laptops:

Hmmmmm, wonder if I should go for Deus Ex:HR. I played and beat it on 360.

However, I thought of giving it another go and that DLC looks cool.

Any thoughts people?
 
First person to quote this gets a Sonic Generations code. I went to redeem it on Steam and forgot I already owned it. The key will still work, right?
 
I'd like to thank Amazon and Green Man Gaming. I can't recall the last time I bought a game at full price. Just picked up Virtua Tennis 4. I'm thinking about the Game of Thrones RPG, but I'm not sure. Is it worth $15 or should I wait? And how is Lord of the Rings: War in the North?
 
Hmm. Will the Max Payne 3 + GTA IV + LA Noire include the complete LA Noire or just the regular game? Otherwise I guess I'll just grab MP3/LA:N Complete

I've put 318 hours into Virtua Tennis 4. It's a really fun game, but you should know that it's very prone to freezing and random disconnects, as well as not accurately recording your wins. I think most of this is GFWL's fault.
 
Is that Mass Effect 3 deluxe edition about as good as it will get for the game + From Ashes for a while?
 
I'm thinking about getting the Deluxe just to get From Ashes DLC and the DD Bonuses (already have the Vanilla. hmm)

I'm sadly debating the same thing. PC gets dicked over with bioware pretty much never having a sale with it's DLC and still being tied to bioware points.
 
YES! I had $8 credit when I went to checkout while buying Borderlands 2, bringing the total to $6.06. Damn, Amazon is bringing it to Steam with these major sales.

Yeah, I imagine so. Though there's a bundle of the first two games on Steam for whatever that's worth.

Probably going to get the ME3 bundle, I got 1 & 2 on PC when they were $10, and this is a bit lower but fits I guess with how relatively disappointing of an ending it was... but it's still a pretty good game.
