Green Man Gaming Thread: Save some green, man

DoctorWho said:
According to capsule, Saints Row comes out next Friday. I thought it was Tuesday. UK Date?

Yep that's the UK date. Personally I'm expecting we'll be given the steam key before Tuesday, anything after that is unacceptable though.
 
are games on gmg regional (or steamworks?)? I never bought from them before, I see US/UK/EU version of skyrim at different prices ($60 and one with 10% discount which is $53)

Hey Wayward...any news on when Saints Row The Third Keys will be emailed out?

Came to ask this.

I believe pre-load is up on Steam now correct? I read D2D have sent out their keys already too.
 
About to pull the trigger on Saint's Row 3 from GMG, are they already handing out codes and do we have any coupons for extra savings?

You just missed the coupons for 15% off about a week ago.

We haven't got our codes yet and the game is up for pre-load on Steam.

GMG can we get our codes now please?

Skyrim is special, as are EA's games. Some EA games only exist on gmg.co.uk, Battlefield 3 for example. Not sure what Skyrim's deal is (languages maybe?), but it's not common and it shouldn't be any problem with Steam.
 
So any word on when Saints Row keys are going out? There seems to be a lack of communication on the issue even on their own forums. This and Skyrim just showing up one day without warning, I don't know what's going on but there seems to be a growing trend of no communication at all lately.

This is typical of GMG in my experience. Theres a 12 page thread on their forum asking questions about the SR3 release and the only staff post in it is a boilerplate response from one of the forum mods. My experience with GMG as a whole has been more annoying than pleasant, tbh. The poor communication and support really sours me on using them despite their pricing and discounts.
 
The pricing is the only thing keeping them alive, had a issue awhile back with deus ex and they handled it poorly, only buy because of the huge sales.
 
^ Yes. There's a 15 page thread on their forums with people wondering what the deal is. "It's the weekend" isn't really an excuse once the weekday rolls in

Yep. Another downside of ordering from them is their no refund policy, even for preorders/keys you haven't been given yet.
 
First time using them and well I saved 6 bucks buying from them, but I probably won't use them in the future. If something is wrong just tell your customers. It's a lot better than leaving us in the dark.

Any coupons? I really want skyrim damn hype.

Hopefully there is one this week. I've been holding out for a deal and it doesn't seem likely Amazon will sell the DD version.

They made no promises about getting keys out before the 18th, so if they do then that's a bonus as far as they're concerned. Still, I'd wait till Tue before panicking.

Seriously, seems like if theres any major problem or fuck up they always leave us in the dark.

Still, they should probably say something when so many people are asking.
 
Just recieved this email with no key from them

Thank you for prepurchasing Saints Row: The Third from Green Man Gaming.

You are receiving this email because your game will be available for download on 14 Nov. 2011 at 00:00.


Should you have any problems, simply give us a call.

I know I'm just saying if they answered the question on when we were going to receive the key it wouldn't have been a big deal. Just a simple "keys will release soon" would have been sufficient, instead of not saying anything at all.

BUT I got my key so I'm happy now.
 
Currently downloading Saints Row as well. Or pre-loading? I dunno. Should be able to play it when it's done anyway. Unless the time in the email is GMT or something.
 
I dont see the pre-order DLC for Saints Row 3 when i right click on it in Steam library and i got no TF2 hat.

Did GMG drop the ball?

edit: Looks like Space Marine got removed.

Will be pretty pissed if we don't get the genki dlc...
 
Any of you guys had any luck downloading the new Assassin's Creed game through Capsule? It's not working at all for me, just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem or if it's an issue with my PC.

Just sits there doing this...

Um didn't you hear, the game is delayed till December for PC.

That would explain it. Cheers. Someone really ought to tell Capsule, so it stops telling me that it's available.

Also, these delays on PC releases are really starting to get on my nerves.

You know that Batman also isn't going to download in 3 days time, right?

PC gaming, fuck yeah. GMG really needs to do something about their release date reporting. It's shockingly bad at this point.

If there is one thing GMG has done poorly, its been communicating these changes. It happened with the Australian LA Noire release as well. No communication at all from GMG.
 
Would like to find out if I got the Genki DLC for buying Saints, as stated earlier nothing shows up in steam and I only got one code.

Well based on dead island, we may get our codes when the game releases in Europe. Since we got our bloodbath dlc codes on the Friday it came out in Europe as well.

GMG what the hell is going on?

Delayed sending the keys out, plus I have no DLC for my Saints Row 3.

Yeah they have being behind the ball latetly. If the the DLC issue was THQ's or their fault then a simple message on their fourms/twitter/facebook or on Gaf would of being appreated.

Problem is because of timezones when an ef up happens we in the southern hemisphere are the ones that have to wait the longest for a resolution.

Yeah that's exactly right, plus the DLC was advertised as part of the deal so I'll give it a few days and if it still hasn't shown up I'll start emailing them about it.

I came here to post this. I'm having the same issue.

Edit: WTF? It's been delayed?

Why did it say it was ready to download... :(
 
hello

how do i gift a game to a friend? i want to play lara croft guardians of light with co-op.

i bought a copy for myself and it registered fine. i don't see anyway to gift, and when i try with a 2nd account, it says, paypal address must match email of GMG account.

what to do? or am i just missing something?

Yep, according to their site it was released on Nov 15, according to Capsule it's available now, but it's not there. On the store page with the buy link it says it is now available. At that point it's just misleading advertising. Green Man really needs to sort this kind of thing out.
 
The customer service for them is pretty damn good. I sent them an email because I thought L.A. Noire was a Steam activated game. After I sent them the email, I realized this when one of the users here pointed it out to me. The next day they responded and said "yeah, it is not steam as it is listed, but we understand the confusion, here is $15.00 credit".

I emailed them back saying pretty much I was a dumbass and dont feel I am entitled to a coupon worth 15.00. They said to keep it because they value my business with them.

That is pretty nice of them. Anyways, just wanted to share that little story. I have been saving alot of money with them on new releases.
