Green Man Gaming Thread: Save some green, man

So I can't apply any coupons to Skyrim?

Edit: now it's letting me, not sure if that was a fluke or not. $22.50 for Skyrim, glad I checked before buying on steam.
 
NBA 2K13.

I bought it two weeks ago, but I usually just play for fun or when having friends over, so my expectations might be different from yours. The complexity is pretty solid with a buttload of stuff to do/alter (as always). However, there are still issues in terms of:

  • Roster updates and some missing minor players
  • Somehow the AI gets offensive rebounds very easily
  • Opponent AI is somehow a master at going after loose balls, while one's own AI just stands around looking at a loose ball

Those are my immediate gripes so far. There are probably better people in the official thread who can give a more accurate assessment of the game than me.

Cool. Thanks. Seems to be the typical 2K bugs, but since I had to skip out on 2K12 last year and the season has started I've been really wanting to pick this up.

Some of the issues can be fixed if you just mess with the sliders, so it'll probably be fine.
 
I hope it's not Game. It's not like they make much of an effort with PC games in the first place.

There's always been rumors of Game being assholes about Steam. First it was a rumor of THQ having their games blocked before launch on Steam in the UK, and now Ubisoft are playing coy about UK releases.

No smoke without fire and all that.

It doesn't even make sense, how can they be pissed off about a market they put much effort into?

Amazon UK or Shopto (although the latter is happy to sell download codes for steamworks titles) make more sense, but not Game.

No, because each download copy = 1 less physical copy. GAME, Gamestop, etc. make their profits by dealing with used copies.
 
So I tried to buy Dishonored but my credit card, paypal, and my debit card didn't work. Is there some kind of like waiting period to buy something from first joining or something?

I'm probably just going to take the 7.50 loss and buy it on steam.
 
Really loving Dishonored. Great new flavor and spin on the third-person assassin/stealth game that's been a staple category for so many years.

If I knew I'd like it so much, I'd gladly pay the $7.50 extra, hemtae

I want to snatch up LEGO Lord of the Rings but can't find any active coupons right now... guess i'll be waiting :) I love that LEGO LotR has achievements, the first time for a PC LEGO game.
 
Well I'm not as far into Dishonored as I got into Deus Ex but I'm enjoying this more. The boss fights frequently come up as a major complaint but honestly if they'd been up to par it could have been a classic game. Not sure how I feel about the boss fights in this one yet.
