This is the first time in a very long I have felt screwed about not being a PC gamer. Oh well, good to see deals like this popping up.

I promise I'm not being cheeky, but you should pay even less attention in the future.

I am far from being one of those folks who appear to derive a significant portion of their self-worth from the size of their GPU, but it's pretty clear that PC games absolutely murder console games when it comes to pricing. This is just another example.

Anyway, I already have Max Payne and the Darkness, so it's really a matter of whether I want to make time for Spec Ops. The demo was pretty ho-hum for me.

 

[Ledsen]

lol, did you just spend the last 10 minutes searching for an appropriate gif?

I knew which GIF I wanted... then I stupidly googled "fuck gif".

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Yeah :/

Someone posted it's cheaper than Steam on the official Bohemia Interactive Store I think. But not by much.

 

[Clydefrog]

god damn! thank you, amazon!!!

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

No chance of getting a hold of keys you can register on Steam? That's what's holding me back from buying it right away.

I wish . I have been told multiple times "no".

I tried searching for Galactic Civilizations 2 on the digital games part of Amazon, but I couldnt even find Crusader Kings 2 with your search... Anyone know whether Amazon offers Galactic Civilizations 2? There are many people waiting on a steam sale for that, not sure whether Amazon even has it though :/

We don't have Galactic Civilizations 2, not even sure what that one is. I'm surprised you can't find CKII though...it comes up fine for me, what are you typing in?

Any chance of some Ubisoft deals like GR: Future Soldier and AC Revelations?

We'll have an Ubisoft sale in August. I pushed for July but it wasn't in the cards .

i loved you guys did that for the saboteur. though i haven't finished it, i'm really enjoying it! i wonder how well that did for you though....moving some is better than none type of situation?

The Saboteur performed "ok" it didn't crush but it wasn't a failure. I'm trying to work it into a $14.99 EA bundle.

Well, in that case...
Any hope for Fallout 3 / New Vegas / Skyrim?

I'm currently working on trading the naming rights to my first child for the ability to distribute those games...

Cheers,
Tony

 

[atomsk]

might nab The Doctor Who Cloned Me depending on the price

 

[legacyzero]

Don't pre-quote! It's a huge pet peeve of mine... at least indicate that the post you're replying to is below your post instead of above it. The amount of time I've spent scrolling up in vain... sorry for the rant

Quote arrow, yo.

Also, sorry, but I didn't think it warranted another post

EDIT: I just saw your response LOL. Just finding out about that, huh? Yeah, it's fuck awesome.

Lol I keep forgetting I grabbed Saboteur from that sale. A bundle would definitely help it in terms of awareness.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

So arma 2:CO is listed as a 49.99 on amazon... Will the deal be 25% off that price? If so, that's a huge bummer considering the game is $30 on steam.

You're looking at the retail boxed edition. DD is $30: Arma II: CO

e: beaten on last page

 

[Toma]

GalCiv2 (92% Metacritics) is a Stardock game, the same company that made the Sins of A Solar Empire series, which you might offer? Anyway, doesnt matter then. Thanks for checking though

Hm, maybe I was on a different language version of Amazon. Popping up fine for me now. Looking forward to the sale

 

[Ledsen]

Can you activate Dragon age 2 on origin?

Loved the 1st game but avoided the 2nd due to the back feedback but at that price ill bite

I was in the same situation a few days ago. I bought the game and just started playing. To me the game seems great so far. Like the graphical style and the the dialogue and overall tone of the game seems less stilted and up its own ass than the first one (which I still really liked).

 

[legacyzero]

I wonder if either Amazon or Steam will be giving a deal on Crysis 2 Maximum Edition?

 

[Stallion Free]

While we are on the topic of EA, is Need for Speed: The Run going to get a sale any time this summer?

 

[El Sloth]

Thinking of the X-Com pack and 2K strategy pack. Never played a civ or x-com game before. Hopefully either Amazon or Steam will have a good sale on Arma II.


Amazon Tony would make a great porn name.

 

[Ceebs]

Was this any good or more of a Frostbite 2 powered "look at the pretties" game?

 

[Shane86]

Damn was hoping for Anno 2070

 

[Stallion Free]

The latter lol. That's why I would need a sale to pick it up.

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

Not this round for us.

While we are on the topic of EA, is Need for Speed: The Run going to get a sale any time this summer?

We had it for like 70% off a few weeks ago .

We'll run it again in August likely.

Cheers,
Tony

 

[Stallion Free]

Damn, how did I miss that? All I can remember is EA doing a 50% off (20$) and that wasn't tempting enough. Oh well, I'll keep an eye out in August (got each Amazon thread subscribed too). Thanks!

Damn, I woulda totally bought that! I wasn't paying attention =/

 

[kaskade]

I think I'm going to double dip MP3. I kind of wanted a physical version just because the D/L size is so damn big.

 

[echoshifting]

Damn, Amazon has my number with that Paradox pack. I'll definitely be jumping on the big one...only thing in there I already have is Majesty 2 but I don't think I have all the dlc for it.

 

[Snkfanatic]

No Ubi till August? Booo I want Rayman on the cheap

 

[Souther]

Any chance on King Arthur II or Just Cause 2 being added?

 

[Kandrick]

No deal on Civ V Expansion ?

 

[The_Monk]

Can anyone tell me how much it is Call of Duty 4 Digital?

I'm in EU and I can't find it, sorry, kinda new at DD.

 

[Of All Trades]

Any chance of Street Fighter 4 Arcade going back to $10? I missed the last sale by a day, and due to a couple specific reasons actually don't want to buy this on Steam.

 

[dragonlife]

The Darkness 2 is tempting.

 

[kruis]

No deal on Civ V Expansion ?

Yep. I'd like that too. I already have the regular game, I just need the DLC.

 

[Solid warrior]

Considering you have never played 1 and 2 go ahead knock yourself out. But if you did play MP1+2 i would of told you to avoid as its not a proper Max Payne game. Expect shitloads of cutscenes and gameplay lasts at 5minutes tops before encountering another cutscene.

Well, MP3 IS a proper max payne game. I'd recommend doing this: IF you're a fan of the game, you should play it in hardest difficulty possible. this is the only right way to play MP3. otherwise, play it in normal which seems to be designed with casual gamers in mind.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Will wait on MP3 for the holiday sales. But will double dip on Bioshocks. I want Vice City but why won't they include 3. The hell with SA. I can't redo that but VC and 3 are worth it, if only for the god tier music.

That's my pet peeve. Shouldn't great gameplay be great on any difficulty? Almost like how running around the castle in Mario 64 is still fun?

Sooo, US Gaf _can_ buy those games for EuroGAF and send over the Steam code, right? Or is there some mechanism at work that prevents that?

 

[The_Monk]

I believe you can buy it yourself. Just put an US Address.

Anyone?

Put in a US billing address, use your European card, problem solved.

 

[brandonh83]

The Darkness 2 is tempting.

I'm getting it. $12.49? Very difficult to go wrong there. The demo was cool and it seems to be an above average game at least.

May also get Spec Ops just because it just came out like a week ago for over twice the price.

 

[Stallion Free]

There is no COD4 digital on Amazon, only box copy.

Yeah I've been seeing that more and more often. That's basically a large reason why I'm considering building myself a gaming PC and consigning my consoles to the "only use for exclusives" bucket.

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

FYI guys, I'm about 10 feet under water today so I can't go back and quote everyone who asked.

I just got sign of from Paradox to re-issue Steam Keys via email for Victoria II and Sword of the Stars Complete Collection to everyone who purchased the original Plentiful Paradox Package.

We'll likely deliver these via email, since it is a Friday though it probably won't happen until early next week. I'm hoping to have emails out before the holiday though (4th of July).

Cheers,
Tony

 

[ACE 1991]

We should have it for 25% off tomorrow. We're out of keys right now, as soon as my Ops guy (see what I did there?) can get our new batch of keys tested and ingested we'll be discounting Combined Ops and putting it back up.

Cheers,
Tony

So is it quite likely this deal will go live tomorrow?

It bears repeating: Dude, great work. I am pretty sure that you yourself are a big reason for satisfied customers and that Amazon is selling a bit more, especially here on GAF.

 

[PaulLFC]

So the address trick for us EU people... has anyone that's tried it ever been contacted by their bank or had any other problems like that? I'd like to buy the Dragon Age pack and the Plentiful Paradox package when it goes up for sale.


Edit: Just wanted to agree with the post above, great work Tony. Even though I'm outside the US it's been good to see Amazon bring some competition lately to Steam and a lot of the deals are very well priced. I think offering Steam and non-Steam keys where possible is definitely a good strategy, it lets people who don't like Steam buy the games and gives us Steam users a good option, so it's the best of both worlds.

I just hope Amazon UK can get their download service sorted soon, it seems to have been rumoured forever at this point, last I heard though it's been delayed again - outside of the US I think only Germany has game downloads at the moment.

I havent ever heard of a problem due to that for Amazon payments.

German here, considering the sales and prices AND that I am saving 20% by buying US games on Amazon instead of German ones (10$=10&#8364... who cares >_>

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SSF4AE/super-street-fighter-iv-arcade-edition has it for 10 bucks right now

 

[coopolon]

I'm another one who passed on DA2 but now that it's dirt cheap I am interested. However, I know there are some DLC for it and I've always kind of told myself to wait till it all gets bundled together. Yet that still hasn't happened anywhere. I guess the fact that it never happened for Mass Effect 2 either does not bode well for it ever happening.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Definetly going to pick up CKII. Will the DLC's be the same 75% off?

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

Negative, the only discounts on the DLCs will be in the 2 bundles (Pint Sized Paradox bundle and Plethora of Paradox Games).

Ok. What do those song DLC's add to the game? What do songs do in the game?

No idea on that one man, sorry . I can look into it but I'm way underwater today it will probably be this weekend.

[Bulzeeb]

is this summer sale PC only or are there any chances of console games during the week?
