Going to wait to see if Dark Souls goes on sale for cheaper then $15 today on Steam (which I highly doubt) and otherwise snag it off of Amazon.

I cannot picture DS going any lower than $15 on Steam. I purchased it and they also gave me a $5 credit towards a game in January.

What's the general consensus for the new Battlefield maps? Armored kill more than anything. PC version.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Well I just grabbed Dark Souls PC for 14.99. I still think it's crazy that us Canadians can still get those codes by just entering a random US billing address. You'd think, if the region restriction was so important, they would have made that impossible by now.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Mass Effect Trilogy for $30...and only played half of the first..guess ill buy it.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Did they change anything for the Mass Effect trilogy on PC?

 

[CrunchyFrog]

that C&C collection is looking fine, if only I didn't have most of those titles already. It wouldn't be callous to wait for it to get closer to $10-$15 would it?

 

[Figboy79]

Just saw the Ratchet HD Collection on Amazon for $19.99, so I snagged it. Sure, it's not $15, but it's not $30 either.

Honestly, I did pretty modestly this Black Friday. I'm actually kind of proud of myself that I didn't go crazy like last year.

I bought:

Dishonored: $25
Ratchet HD: $20
Portal 2 Steam: $5
Rage Steam: $5
Darksiders 2 Steam: $17

Total: $72

I honestly have all of the games that I was interested in checking out for now, so I didn't have a huge Black Friday list. I promised my wife (and myself), that I wouldn't go overboard with spending this Black Friday like I did last year, and I did good, and still got a good amount of games to go in the backlog pile. Lol.

 

[YianGaruga]

Do we know which games will be part of the Gamespot/Amazon Black Friday show later today?

Hint #1 30 year old vet haunted by betrayal attempts to pursue the American Dream.

They didn't list clues. They're only tweeting them, first clue:

Are you not allowed to use the Software/video game credit balances to buy stuff on these deals? I bought Dark Souls because I had 7 free dollars but I got charged 14.99

 

[The Grim Heaper]

First clue is Alan Wake's American Nightmare, maybe?

 

[Wario64]

Depends what the restriction on the credit is I guess



I suppose we should make a new thread on the Gamespot/Amazon deals like before? They can be console deals too

 

[_machine]

So you get 5$ credit from Dark Souls that expires in January or is it only available in January?

 

[GK86]

Only available in January. Can't be stacked.

 

[_machine]

Only available in January. Can't be stacked.

And it expires after January, right? Just wanted to make sure, since I might not be able to buy anything in January and can wait on the game if need be.

EDIT: Yeah got it now, it expires 31st January.

Rayman Origins is $7.50 right now on UPlay and Ubisoft's website. http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_US/pd/ThemeID.8605600/productID.245230300/Rayman-Origins.html

If anyone wants to sell me their Victoria II : A House Divided, Naval War: Arctic Circle or Mortal Kombat Kollection key please PM me. Can Paypal.


Thanks JaseC for the free MKK key!

 

[Liseda]

they also gave me a $5 credit towards a game in January.

How does this work?
Doesn't state any special code for it in the email and says it will be applied automatically when I press "Buy & Download" on something, yet the discount doesn't apply when I try it, what am I doing wrong?

You can not use it yet, only on january next year

Oh right, I should learn to read.

 

[Fjordson]

Think I'm done. Mostly bought older games for my laptop. Some great deals, though.

Civ IV especially. God damn, its noon now and I've been playing since...well I won't say. But it's been a while.

 

[Petrie]

If anyone is looking for Saints Row I have a couple extra copies from back when it was like $12 with all the DLC. Willing to sell or trade them.

 

[MrCunningham]

Anyone else having trouble ordering outside of the US? I am trying to buy the Batman double pack for 10 dollars and it won't go through. I am in Canada, but I am using the American address trick.

nevermind, I got it to work .

I am so glad that they are doing a list like this so I don't have to wonder if I am buying something that I can eventually get $5 cheaper with the promotional credits.

 

[Carm]

For anyone that bought the Paradox War Chest that contains Hearts of Iron 3 Collection.

Is all the dlc individual Steam keys or just one Steam key for the base game+dlc? A friend is just missing some of the dlc and I had mentioned this pack being on sale. I'm assuming he wouldn't be able to redeem if he has other HoI3 stuff already on his Steam account, if it's just the one key right?

Kind of funky the list would be up so soon since a lot of them are already discounted so much, it'd be saving more money to buy now than using $5 credit. Unless there's some other sale it could coincide with in january.

Hotline Miami for $5 after Jan 1st sounds like a good deal to me.

 

[MrTeachwell]

Yeah, looks like I might use extra codes to gift some mates a copy.

 

[Carlisle]

That $5 FFXI Abyssea is pretty tempting. Anyone one know how that works on Steam/POL when you've already got the previous collection? Can you just add the Abyssea codes to POL and activate the new content IDs, or what? It's not listed as Steamworks.

 

[Mavromatis]

I received two $5 credits so I get 10$ off or I have to get two games?

Ok got my answer, it is not stackable. You have to use each for a separate game.

 

[gdt]

How long will NFSMW be $25 physical/$20 DD?

Edit: Figured it out....the day before I get paid .

 

[alf717]

If I own Civilization V (regular edition) and the expansion Gods and Kings. Where do I go from here to get the rest of the DLC without double dipping on the same DLC? I was combing Amazon's site and they have so many different variations on the DLC I keep thinking I'll end up buying the same DLC twice.

Like this: Civilization V: Civilization and Scenario Pack: Korea [Online Game Code]

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HEA1E4/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Then this: Civilization V: Korea and Ancient World Combo Pack [Online Game Code]

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HEA2FC/?tag=neogaf0e-20

and then this: Sid Meier's Civilization V: Korea Civilization and Scenario Pack [Download])

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MZC1NY/?tag=neogaf0e-20

The DLC to this game makes my head spin.

 

[Wario64]

I haven't been catching up with posts on this thread. Let me know if there's any bad info in the OP about activating on Steam/Origin or whatever, or any misc. stuff like region locks

 

[Sober]

You want this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HEA2FC/?tag=neogaf0e-20 (it looks like the first and third you linked are the same, just named differently)

It's pretty much this on Steam

It's bugged in Steam since I bought that but it doesn't recognize that I have the world wonders scenario DLC. Doesn't look like that bundle is on sale on Amazon so maybe wait for Steam.

Posted earlier, Batman AC activated fine on my Aussie account for those concerned about the NA tag.

And the fact that the 5$ coupons aren't stackable can go there but you can put those to the main Amazon DD thread, assuming we have one.
Also the Mass Effect 1 on your OP has too much f on it.

 

[TheMan]

which is better- Civilization IV or V?

 

[Decado]

How is Binary Domain for PC? I see a lot of ppl grabbing it early in the sale, but there aren't many positive reviews and the PC version doesn't sound like a very good port...

 

[Mavromatis]

which is better- Civilization IV or V?

Here is my order for Civilization games. Hope it helps.

• Civilization 2 Multiplayer Gold Edition: Because it feels like a tactical board game, not to complex to grasp but pretty hard to master. Also the mods, scenarios and the not ending games make it more like Risk with some improvements.
  
• Civilization 1 (Dos): It has an ease of playing, it is well built and calculated. Really good.
  
• Civilization 4 (with Expansions): Religion and culture makes up what huge 3Desque isometric graphics took away. You'll never have the same feeling of a Civilization 2 map from a Civ 4 one but the new mechanics help. The resource mechanism still not good enough although it has been added with Civilization 3. This is the one to choose if you need graphics.
  
• Civilization 3 (with Expansions): Lots of new mechanics added but the game somehow boiled down to build as much cities as possible. It can give you some fun if you use CivAssist. It is not as easy as Civilization 4.
  
• Civilization 5: The new grid system and the new graphics tries to lengthen the game. The map is really small and the new city system while breaking the need for spamming cities makes the game a bit dull.

GAF would tell you otherwise.
It's a fine port in any case.

Fucking excellent. All the issues have been fixed, as far as I'm aware. Gameplay is excellent, as is the story and characters.

I guess it was a poor port when it came out but it works great for me. I get 60 frames a second on mostly max settings.

Does anyone know if these credits stack? Like I could use 5 on one game or they have to be used on separate games?

They don't, you have to spend them separately.

Only error I found was this:

Civilization V: Korea and Ancient World Combo Pack - $1.87

It is listed for $7.49 on Amazon. Or perhaps it just ended.

 

[sixghost]

Does anyone know what the Gamefly DD is like? Do they have their own steam or origin like service?

 

[alf717]

Since I am new to this series I found Civilization V easier to get into then Civilization IV.
