Is there a specific time (PST) during the day/night that we can usually expect deals like this to go live?

Last week I showed up about six hours after it had "gone live" and the order page kept going down. I kept checking back over a couple of days and it kept going down as I was about to checkout, apparently I kept showing up right after another batch of codes was gone through or something, many other times it simply showed up as not being available for purchase. My mistake was assuming the deal would definitely still be there after glitches were worked through later on in the week.

I would rather just know for certain around what time I had to set my alarm to wake up so I was around in time for future deals. I don't mean to be another chattering voice slamming you on previous things you couldn't help, it would be really nice to know for the future though, if possible.

The run is good only because its ambitious much more than any other nfs game which are just rehashing the same old ideas

Problem is its just a series of races just like any other racing game. You have to place a certain position in each race

And the QTE crap needed to be gone, at least there isn't too much of it I think
 
If I already have NFS:Hot Pursuit and haven't even finished that, should I buy NFS:The Run? Does the single-player have an interesting story or something?

Does prove the point though that The Run isn't worth getting: why bother when you have two better racers to play? Or burned out on the better entry in the series.

Driver: SF is my favorite racing game of this gen, cars feel real, the story is cheesy, but it's nonsense fun, and San Fan is so much fun to drive in

Yeah, I would defiantly play it over The Run
 
Is it weird that my main driving urge to get KOA stems from The Legend of Dead Kel, and my name being Kel?

It's not a super common name, and I'm curious.
 
I think I'm gonna pass on the run, I already have hot pursuit. I think im gonna get that nfs ultimate collection seems like a pretty good deal.
 
We won't be matching that due to upcoming promotional plans...like DA:U+DA2+Mass Effect 1+Mass Effect 2 for $14.99 and KOA + All DLCs for 80% off ($11.99).

Cheers,
Tony

The chances of any of these games beeing redeemable on steam?

I really want Kingdom of Amalur, but I also don't want to install origin.

Will Steam ever have a Kingdom of Amalur sale?

Seemingly not, unfortunately. Though at least after the 38 Studios meltdown the "buy from Steam to directly support them" angle is completely dead. And probably would've required CoD numbers directly through Steam to save the company anyway.
 
JaseC said:
Probably not. The game was self-published on Steam by 38 Studios, and 38 Studios no longer exists.

It is odd how the game is still for sale there. I guess the state gets the funds and so doesn't get it pulled, but has zero interest in actually participating in a game sale. Or it's just too messy, whereas with non-Steam it's EA and so they can set the sales.
 
I might jump on that KOA for $12 deal when it pops up but I'm still jelly about missing Origin's survey and free games event. I look at the Origin icon on my desktop and all I feel is salty

Yeah, I've wondered that myself. I assumed the game would be taken down soon after 38S bit the dust, but here we are many months later and it's still available for purchase.
