[Madrugador]

Yeah am I reading that wrong, they are removing BF3 from Origin and adding it to Steam? or is there something I am missing?

A lot of people got BF3 for free thanks to an IGN promotion due to an error they made.

They're now removing the game from people's Origin accounts (only those who got it for free).

 

[The_Monk]

It fails me at some of the games I run just fine, simply because it's not a certain card. What does it say your card isn't doing?

It just says that does not meet the Minimum requirements. Nothing else. You see a message telling which Graphic Card would be the Mininum to run the game and then it says you have "insert you graphic card here" graphic card.

It's true. Can confim that my game is gone in Origins. Never installed it anyway. Don't care.

 

[SuperÑ]

Michael:
I can't really delve too far into it, because their decisions are final. But it states that you received a code under questionable means and, as such, the game was disabled on your account.

I guess our free BF3 copies are gone forever

 

[Wichu]

According to some people on Steamgifts, BF3 is getting removed from Origin if you got it from the IGN promotion.

Aww

 

[zerokoolpsx]

What do you know. Oblivion is the daily deal and its the same price as it was during Black Friday sale. I already own this game. =/

 

[BioHazard]

Thanks, Santa!

 

[mrgone]

He'll know if you do. He'll know if you do.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Makes me want to buy SR3 to make a Santa character.

UK-GAF Possibly region free offer?: Space Marine (or to give it its full title, Warhammer® 40,000®: Space Marine®) is on sale on THQ's site for £12.00 until the end of today.

 

[Card Boy]

UK-GAF: Space Marine (or to give it its full title, Warhammer® 40,000®: Space Marine®) is on sale on THQ's site for £12.00 until the end of today.

I wonder if its cheap for people outside the UK? Since we dont pay VAT? It should be like 10quid for people outside the the UK in theory.

It seems i can buy it in Australia.

Ah, it may well be a region-free offer then! I seem to remember the THQ US store offers being restricted to the US so I assumed this was similar.

 

[filipe]

I should have purchased Payday, that game looks the tits.

Preorder The Xmas Bundle

You can now blind pre-order Indie Royale's Xmas Bundle at a recommended $5+ USD contribution, and a minimum of $3.99 USD.

The titles to be offered will include an exclusive, specially remastered adventure game compilation debut (Steam for PC, Desura for PC, DRM-free PC download), an unlikely-themed multiplayer FPS (Steam for PC), a cult puzzle action game (Steam for PC and Mac, Desura for PC, DRM-free PC and Mac download), and an overlooked sim-action title (Desura for PC, DRM-free PC download).

Those who optionally pre-order now will get game access as soon as the bundle launches, lock in their price, and receive as a bonus Rush Coil's festive chiptune album '8-Bit Christmas', as featured on Adult Swim (this bonus is also available to those who pay enough to drop the price during the bundle.)

The Xmas Bundle will launch fully early next week at $2.99 USD and up - watch our Twitter feed or Facebook page for immediate notice at launch time.

I'm going to guess Dino D-Day for the "unlikely-themed multiplayer FPS"... and The Ball might work for the "cult puzzle action game"... except The Ball isn't on Desura, so that's probably not it.

 

[legacyzero]

So GAF, I got $40.

What should I pick up?

Wait for the holiday sale.

And then buy Alice.

 

[moojito]

People umming and ahhing about oblivion should definitely do it. Not only do you get the game and its dlc, but you get to play nehrim as well. For like 3 quid. Do eeeeet!

 

[legacyzero]

Wait for the holiday sale.

when does the holiday sale start? Like this week?

 

[Semblance]

19th.

19th according to sources, so on a Monday.

looks funny looping like that. It should go back and fourth. Thats just my two cents though.

 

[JaseC]

I prefer the inanimate version.

 

[ShaneB]

I agree. Would look a lot more natural.

I also bit on Oblivion finally. Glad it runs so well on my laptop. I kept trying to get into Morrowind, but I much prefer things being a bit more streamlined like this, and I figure by the time I'll have a gaming pc, Skyrim should be 5 bucks as well, lol.

 

[Blizzard]

I prefer the inanimate version.

Yeah, less animations and are more JPGs are always good.

I would but it would up ending up being over 2mb

Perhaps just some blinking Christmas lights hanging from the picture??

hmm, I'll try and give it a shot, bit tricky but I'll see how it goes.

 

[SteveWinwood]

It's really weird when you "recommend" a game when you review it.

I wrote the equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever gives you cancer and it's all happy that I recommended it.

I'm hoping Gabe will add an avoid option as an alternative to recommend, if anything it would be more useful.

I can't imagine their content partners would be very happy about that.

 

[OatmealMu]

Tempted to get Oblivion, though I couldn't get into it when I tried playing years ago. Any mods that improve combat? I've always been fond of archery in games.

 

[Semblance]

I'd almost be tempted to buy a copy of LA Noire just so I can tell everyone to avoid that garbage.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

What the hell are you people talking about? That steam holiday sale logo is awesome...yes it should go back and forth, but screw the haters.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Anyone ever notice this bug in the grid view? When you highlight a game sometimes the shadow of the play and detail button stays there even when not highlighting the game with your mouse cursor.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

same, this one kinda makes my eyes hurt

 

[Dog Problems]

I might pre-order the bundle if they offer soundtracks or something as a bonus.

What happened last time? I didn't pay attention to indie royale.

 

[Volcynika]

How did they fool you? Because I just remember tons of people complaining they didn't want the games or already had them. And that doesn't sound like being 'fooled' in any sense of the word.

I already had Cthulhu Saves the World/Breath of Death 7. Plus i don't like the idea of not naming the games in the bundle and being secretive about it. What if i pre-order and end up owning all the games?

So my comment still stands. I don't wanna fall for it again.

That was entirely your fault, that's a chance you take. They didn't fool anybody.

I will start making dupe accounts right now.

 

[CrookedRain]

I think people were mad about paying $4 to preorder when the bundle started off at $3.

A dollar breaks the bank, yo. And I liked the music bonus that came with it.
