Just finished Spec Ops. Here's a questionnaire you should follow if you are thinking of buying this game:

Do you want a good game ->Yes-> Don't buy it

Do you think war is bad and are you interested in playing a bad game for 5 hours to get a 5 minute cutscene revealing a plot twist that you could see from a mile away ->Yes-> This is the game for you!

 

[XShagrath]

Bought this.

Got a question though if anyone knows: is the DLC Darksiders II DLC - Abyssal Forge contained in the pack the same Abyssal Forge that's part of the Season Pass that's also contained in the pack?

Didn't see this answered yet.

Yes, they're the same. So if you activate the Season Pass, you have no need for Abyssal Forge and can give it away or whatever. I'll probably do the same when I pick up the bundle in a bit.

 

[Deques]

It's not available in the US or Australia from what I can tell. UK, yes. It's $7.69 with the discounts.

Guess it's not available in the rest of Europe either. I dont live in USA

ahaha. I need to come up with something good for my Steam review.

 

[RionaaM]

Is gfwl available in your country. If I recall correctly countries that dont have gfwl cant play gfwl games.

Check this list if your country is listed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFWL#Availability

You can probably be gifted and redeem in your library, but if you live outside gfwl area you wont be able to play it

Yes you will. You just need to make a GFWL account choosing an available country instead of the one you live in.

 

[drizzle]

Why wouldn't you make a GFWL Account from the US, no matter where you live, is still beyond my comprehension.

However, that's another matter entirely.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So it's the 20th...is that sale today or no? I haven't been following this thread lately...been busy.

I used my Hotmail account for GFWL. It was registered a long time ago, around 1998. I don't remember which country I registered with.

Aka, not at all.

Click me! (warning, music)

This should be true.

 

[RionaaM]

GAF, help me here. Should I buy lunch at Burger King today in like 2 hours, or will those 7 bucks be put to better use on a discounted Steam game?

I'm kidding, of course. I'm not THAT obsessed

Spoiler

with food.

 

[Madrugador]

Click me!

Damn, I was using headphones and the music almost raped my ears.

 

[PedroPanache]

In the meantime, take this opportunity to reduce your backlog, because once that counter hits zero, it's about to get a hell of a lot bigger.

You clearly aren't obsessed with food: you're talking about Burger King.

Darksider pack on Amazon...anyone know how many keys you get? Wondering if DS and DS2 have separate keys

 

[Linch]

Ridge Racer on GMG : 66% and 30% coupon applies on top of it : steam key

What is the 30% coupon? Or how do you acquire it?

EDIT: Nvm its on the front page for GMG!

Nice to know, thanks.

First to quote gets a Darksiders 2 Abyssal Forge DLC Key then.

 

[Tizoc]

I have a feeling Borderlands 1 and 2 may get a bundle discount release during the seal.
My friend told me that Borderlands is more of an RPG with FPS elements, but how is the single player campaign/mode of the games?

 

[XShagrath]

Every single item gets a separate key. That means there is a duplicate in there between Season Pass and Abyssal Forge (which is in the Season Pass).

You get separate keys for every items that is listed in the store page

But I was told the story was super clever.

I don't even think people who like Borderlands 1/2 would recommend playing them without co-op partners.

 

[kami_sama]

Someone willing to buy me the darksiders pack? I can't use amazon at the moment.

 

[YianGaruga]

But I was told the story was super clever.

Dear Esther and Spec Ops (probably some others I'm forgetting) taught me I should never trust anyones opinion on videogame stories ever again.

 

[Mavromatis]

The worst part is I'll be probably watching Hobbit at that time and it is quite long. So I'll probably miss the first flash sales.

Essentially, the world is divided into sizeable chunks that you can travel to/from using fast travel points, and there's nothing to do but complete quests that rarely if at all move beyond "Go here and retrieve/destroy this". Loot is supposedly a core component of the game, but not unlike Diablo 3, most of it is useless and it's not uncommon to find a weapon/shield that will suffice for many hours. The games most certainly benefit from co-op play, but I had enough fun with the original to solo the main campaign and the DLC expansions.

I'm sorry. But after Dishonored (which I thought was meh) I couldn't really stand more stealth for some time. I know If fucked up.

It's possible to play both of the games solo (the difficulty scales as more people join), but it's definitely more fun in a group.

Honestly, I've played through Borderlands 1 several times (360 solo, onlive with a friend, PC with another friend), and the story is so forgettable that even now I only have a vague idea of what was actually going on. I found the game fun but more as a run around and shoot stuff and collect a stash of cool guns kind of game than anything else.

Finish work at 5 home by 6 see you soon Gabe.

Dear Esther should be played due to incredible environment design, thick atmosphere, and stunning visuals.

Sure it's a pretty tech demo. It would be nice if there was some way to interact with it though. The dude talking about kidney stones was ruining it as well.

I'm just pointing out that whoever recommended it to you failed to merit the recommendation properly. Playing Dear Esther for the story isn't really something I think most people would recommend.

this. i played a combo of solo and co-op for 1 and 2.

Spoiler

i thought

the gameplay was fun enough to keep me entertained solo...but adding more people just added to the choas, which was great

Playing Dear Esther for the story is like playing Spec Ops for the gameplay.

That's what the mobile app is for.

This is deeper than the stories of Dear Esther and Spec Ops combined.
