Support NeoGAF

[Ezra2680]

Well I couldn't do it GAF. I've been idling all day and selling cards to try and acquire the funds to get a game or two I wanted, but it's the holiday season and so I thought I'd use my only pennies giving back to you guys, it's not much but it's all I got :3

Thanks for doing a giveaway with the last of your steam buxs. Just noticed you are going to MSU for comp sci. I graduated last year and remember pinching pennies during school. Make sure your wishlist is in order and maybe santa will stop by tonight.

Now, if Soundodger+ and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes would go below 50%, that'd be great.

Also, don't be discouraged by the learning curve. The new "enhanced edition" helps with it somewhat by guiding you through some early stuff, but this is a game that is not at all obvious or intuitive with it's systems or controls. You also need to earn/unlock a bunch of stuff that would be a given in other games. But once you get the hang of things, the game really comes into it's own.

Thanks, guys, I'll get both.
I guess there won't be a better deal? They're 7,50$ at the moment.

 

[Dambrosi]

So, Tomb Raider's Amazon deal is active now. Could someone help me out with this? I don't want to get charged £1.50 by my bank for a foreign transaction if I can help it. I have PayPal.

Since most of PC GAF is probably in this thread, let me hijack it for a second. Can anyone with an AMD (or Intel for that matter) GPU please download this:

And check if everything works? Thanks!

Works fine on my brother's 5870.

 

[Addnan]

I wonder if the Saints Row IV key AMD gave me is region locked. Would sell it in B/S/T for really cheap to make some of the money back, but not sure if Americans would be able to buy

 

[jshackles]

What's GAF's consensus on Steamworld Dig? Worth it at this price, or wait for a higher discount?

 

[BruteUA]

Dude, don't explain the joke

I'm one of those morons that never enjoyed Futurama and still likes current Simpsons episodes.

 

[Lain]

Good morning everyone. What to vote on between MirrorMoon EP, Gnomoria and Doorways?

Also, anyone knows why the Thief pack on Amazon is 5.99 instead of 4.99?

 

[Ezra2680]

What's GAF's consensus on Steamworld Dig? Worth it at this price, or wait for a higher discount?

It is fun, but pretty short. If you don't intend to play it right away, I would wait for a better discount.

 

[TheOnlyMook]

How is the Mortal Kombat PC port? It's $7.49 on Amazon right now and it's real tempting

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Could you give me an idea of what games I could run well?

Hard to tell. Notebookcheck is a decent place to get an idea of what you can run on your laptop http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8400.93720.0.html

Jesus. Max Payne 3 is 27.3GB.

Merry Christmas you lovely bunch of cocunuts

Some Square-enix deals were readjusted before they went live. Same thing happened to Dungeon Siege III pack, it was supposed to cost 2,99, but it was readjusted to 5,99

I haven't tried it since launch but the online lagged terribly & single player cutscenes were ultra quiet/compressed.

Single player gameplay was fine though.

 

[jshackles]

It is fun, but pretty short. If you don't intend to play it right away, I would wait for a better discount.

Alright thanks. Yeah I've got a ton of stuff to play at the moment: Far Cry 3, Shadow Warrior, Enslaved, and Castlevania. Should keep me busy for a bit.

 

[Atraveller]

Jesus. Max Payne 3 is 27.3GB.

Tons of cutscenes that hurt your eyes.

 

[styl3s]

Bought Splinter Cell last night and it has no achievements on Steam? Whats up with that?

 

[FoneBone]

Bought Arkham Origins and Tomb Raider off of Amazon. My backlog is probably hopeless at this point, but I can't help myself.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Bought Splinter Cell last night and it has no achievements on Steam? Whats up with that?

Isn't it a Ubisoft game? Have fun with UPlay acheevos

 

[Berek Halfhand]

I'm really hoping for Baldur's Gate II to go higher than 33% off.

Uplay doesn't bother me.

It's just kind of shocking.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Playing through Tomb Raider at the moment, bought it a few months ago when it was $4.99 the first time.

It's pretty...I'm just not sure it's fun?

 

[Ezra2680]

I'm in the giving mood this year, so add me on steam and make sure your wishlist is up to date, because I'll be choosing some random people from my friends list tonight and leaving gifts for Christmas.

Merry Christmas you lovely bunch of cocunuts

No no no, I'm from the present and Christmas is more than 11 hours away.

 

[Atraveller]

Uplay doesn't bother me.

It's just kind of shocking.

There were achievements for Uplay titles?

 

[TheSeks]

Tomb Raider for 5 bucks on Amazon is a good deal.

But isn't the TR Collection, is it?

$13 for 10+ titles > $5 for a modern re-re-reboot.

 

[FloatOn]

Playing through Tomb Raider at the moment, bought it a few months ago when it was $4.99 the first time.

I only used the bow. I advise you do the same.

 

[styl3s]

I thought FC3 had achievements but i must of remembered wrong. It's not a huge deal it's just kind of odd that ubi games don't have achievements.

Added, thanks santa Ezra2680!

 

[Atraveller]

You all better have voted Mirrormoon

I voted it simply because tons of gaffer wishlisted it.

 

[Shepard]

Just a heads up from the Amazon sales:

Tomb Raider - 4,99
Mass Effect Trilogy - 9,99 - Origin
Assassins Creed III Steam - 7,49

 

[More_Badass]

Playing through Tomb Raider at the moment, bought it a few months ago when it was $4.99 the first time.

It's pretty...I'm just not sure it's fun?

I enjoyed it. But then again...I like set piece moments

 

[Atraveller]

Assassin's Creed III - 7,49

Finally.

 

[mannerbot]

What's GAF's consensus on Steamworld Dig? Worth it at this price, or wait for a higher discount?

Wait for 75% off. It's not that good.

 

[Kastrioti]

I'm really hoping for Baldur's Gate II to go higher than 33% off.

Same here, I've never played it. I'm going through FF7 for the millionth time, but while playing it last night I really had a hankering to try BGII for some reason. I've heard nothing but amazing things through the years but I've just never played it for whatever reason.

 

[Shepard]

Finally.

Uplay, though, looks like the steam version was pulled? I'm pretty sure they used to sell it there.

 

[bigwinnerx]

I only used the bow. I advise you do the same.

That's fair.

Keeps popping in my head almost every scene where Lara is getting beat to hell.

"Dad, are you hurt?"
"Just my bones...and organs."

 

[Atraveller]

Uplay, though, looks like the steam version was pulled? I'm pretty sure they used to sell it there.

Damn it.
Steam version is here.

 

[Frologic]

Velvet Assassins only $1.25, I'm sure barely anyone remembers this game. Its got mixed reviews but maybe some people will like it

Already own it and voted for it. Beautiful game. (Y'all should vote for Fotonica on Greenlight too, it's awesome: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109260745)

Steam version was there and on sale when the deals went live.

-edit-
Beaten.

 

[honorless]

Good morning everyone. What to vote on between MirrorMoon EP, Gnomoria and Doorways?

I nominate MirrorMoon EP. Doorways is an episodic title that isn't done yet (I think it's going to have four chapters) and Gnomoria is Dwarf Fortress's simpler, flashier younger brother.

Copons would want you to support the fledgling Italian small-dev scene anyway. (Help me remember, someone: are some of the Santa Ragione devs on GAF?)

...Gnomoria will probably win regardless of what you vote for though!

 

[More_Badass]

I voted it simply because tons of gaffer wishlisted it.

It's a great game. The puzzle elements can get repetitive, but that doesn't really matter because the core of the game is exploration and discovery.

It bears repeating: Mirrormoon EP is not about story or complex gameplay or moral choices or brain-twisting puzzles. It's about discovery. In Mirrormoon, space isn't just an expanse of blackness and stars, but a canvas of color and abstract architecture to explore. Every planet offers something new and interesting to discover and maybe you'll leave your mark with a name for your new discovery.

 

[Shepard]

Damn it.
Steam version is here.

Yeah, saw that now too. Strange.
Edit: See below.

Found Assassins Creed III
Here's the Steam one at 7,49
Damn Amazon, why complicate things?
