why would you do this

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!

why would you do this
The 35% discount is due to BioInf being Aussie Taxed; it's not available elsewhere (Edit: well, not in the US, at least).
Edit edit: And not in the UK, either. Aliens: CM seems to be the Weekend Deal elsewhere.

This was before I knew GMG even existed, in my defence.
Either way, I'd like to check what the regular price is for the US, and whether or not that price with the persistent 25% vouchers is cheaper than 50 bucks AUD.
The 25% off vouchers can't be used in the US on Bioshock Infnite but they can be used in the UK, which makes it £22.50.
It's better than nothing. Combine that with a voucher and you can get some very nice deals.
I'll probably never play Ninja Blade or the other free games that are given away this weekend. So even if I only get 1$ or 2$ for some of the games, I'll use those to buy a game I really want to play.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Are you being serious? It's free... How does it matter so much that it's not a Steam key... It's not likely to get free on Steam...
It doesn't have any weird DRM either, once it's installed you can do as you please, never start the Capsule again, etc, afaik.
I obviously got it for free, It's already on my account. I'm just saying I wish it was a Steam key.
Since it isn't, it just means I'll have to eventually buy it on Steam.

So I just bought Bioshock Infinite due to the discount and its given me a key.
Whats this key for as the game isnt out until March?

Probably just to redeem on steam for the preorder, unless it says otherwise.

So I just put it in that site?
I'm just worried I'll end up invalidating the key they've given me.
Its for a little flash game on the website. You won't get a key for the actual game until much closer to launch.

Ahh ok, Thank you.
I didnt think it was the key but didnt wanna try it without asking
Edit:
Is it worth doing those mini games? They look mind numblingy boring.

I want to preorder bioshock on GMG.
Want to pay around 35 euro max
37.50 Euro :O mmmm I think I can wait a little bit longer.

I don't really see the point. You could just add a shortcut in your Steam library to the Ninja Blade application and use the grid icon from the Ninja Blade store page on Steam.

As much I'd like a free Ninja Blade, I don't want give personal information to sign up for another shitty service I'll never use. Besides I'll probably never play the game anyway.
Yes, but you won't get the key until closer to release.

Or I could just buy it for 2,50-5 bucks on Steam when it goes up. That way I don't have to handle multiple digital distribution game stores, with multiple backups and multiple accounts for me to keep track of.
I will literally pay upwards of 5 dollars more if I can get the game on Steam instead of Capsule, Origin or DRM-Free copies of a game.

Consolidation. It's the difference between having to log into GMG, download the client through them, set up the shortcut, or just opening steam and hitting download.

Same thing here wasnt going to bother until I realized I already had a a playfire already.

I've heard both some people seem to enjoy it, but it's definitely something not for everyone.
Can't comment on Otogi since I never played it.

I'd rather save some money and deal with the wee bits of hassle.
Someone needs to invent a digital barcode scanner though.
You buy a thing, leave it at the store and then have to remember where you bought the damned thing. This eventually grows to be troublesome. It's a stupid problem to have.

Honestly, I think this has more QTEs than Dragon's Lair.

WOW Ninja Blade is complete crap. All it's doing is making me wish I was playing Ninja Gaiden. It wasn't nearly worth the 45 minutes it took to download. I want my time back 
It took me less than that and I still feel ripped off.WOW Ninja Blade is complete crap. All it's doing is making me wish I was playing Ninja Gaiden. It wasn't nearly worth the 45 minutes it took to download. I want my time back
I can see how it could've been a good game, but as it is... it's just bad. And the graphics options were just weird. Spot on, it just made me wish I was playing Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta or something. But it's From Software, they should've done better!

It feels like Asura's Wrath except with combat that's somehow extremely worse, failable QTEs and horrible blurry graphics (I spent 800 bucks on this pc From wtf).
I seriously feel offended that GMG is giving this game to people. This kind of tripe shouldn't be experienced by anyone, not even for free. Nuke it from orbit and delete the source code.
Yup. The fact that if you fail a QTE, it doesn't give you a different outcome or anything like that is ridiculous. You miss a button, it just takes you a few sequences back and asks you to do it again... and again, with a really small window.
I didn't realise it was one of the freebies and was a little excited when I saw it (because I remembered looking forward to it when it was due out... but then forgot about it completely) but now I just feel ripped off.

Yeah, I uninstalled Ninja Blade. But I'm quite happy with my Kingdoms of Amalur purchase. Very solid game. Not a classic or anything but at least it doesn't have the sims shit and super narrow paths of Fable 3 or the shit combat of the recent Elder Scrolls games, it's actually quite fun and some of the quest lines are somewhat involving too. It's kind of surprising all of the dialogues, even for minor quests, are voiced yet not grating (though I still skip them as I read faster than they speak). I was actually doing a faction side quest line and I thought it's the main quest due to the solid production values, number of quests, choices here and there (who to fight or if you can avoid fighting altogether), etc, until I checked my quest log which marks them accordingly. Worth the ~11 euros or whatever I paid. I'd probably be happy even if I had paid the current price.

Worst part about Ninja Blade is setting it to 60 FPS can fuck with the mechanics.
So stuff like this happens:
And certain jumps/wallruns are impossible to make because the main character shits himself half-way through and falls to his death.
Maybe it's just me though.

Thank you for taking the free bullet for me.
It was because it was set to 60fps? Fuuuuuck, THAT'S why it played like shit!
Did look okay though. Hell, looked okay enough for me to post a few screens in the PC screenshot thread.
