Done with my hard run on Bioshock Infinite, good times. Had fun coming up with new approaches and playing around with the vigors I didn't use so much on medium. Got all collectibles (PowerPyx has the best guide for this on Youtube), then loaded some chapters to farm whatever small number I was missing for the weapon achievements.

The ones I have left to do now are the two 1999 mode-related ones (Auld Lang Syne and Scavenger Hunt) and the ten specific to Clash in the Clouds. I think I'll leave 1999 mode for when I buy the Season Pass on a sale and tackle CitC, this way I can make use of the exclusive gear in the Early Bird Special Pack. Some of the achievements in CitC seem like they can be annoying though, I'll decide if I'll do those when I get to it.

Would The Bureau: XCOM Declassified ($44.99 at 10% off + $10 Amazon credit) be the best, currently available, non-Dunder deal here?

You can actually unlock 1999 mode from the beginning.

Why haven't most modern games adopted frame limiters yet?

fuckin Sheva AI, worst time to take a nap

I needed a mate to help me with the final level of RE5 as AI Sheva would not do what was required of her. She's an utter disappointment.

Four posts in fifty minutes or so? Steam thread is sleeping, I guess.

Sorry, I'm back now. Something something Saoirse Ronan. Something something Ubisoft sucks. Something something Dragon's Dogma PC.

GMG is offering $12 credit at the same price point.

The store page still doesn't state this, and I brought it to the attention of 2K's resident GAFer more than once prior to release.

 

[Turfster]

Swings and roundabouts, I guess... the booster packs I've received have been practically worthless, so much so that they're still rotting away in my inventory, I think.

Yeah, my foil investments RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF BETA weren't very good...
Sold one for a 50% loss, and I'm still stuck with one that's currently being undercut by idiots to basically 10% of what I paid for mine...

Sorry, I'm back now. Something something Saoirse Ronan. Something something Ubisoft sucks. Something something Dragon's Dogma PC.

Time for me to tag out and go to bed.

Watching the Giant Bomb quick look for Papers, Please makes me want the game even more.

So many games, but I must be strong!

Same, Grief... I've somehow managed to not splurge on any of the August Indiepocalypse titles so far... but it's been hard work.

Papers, Please looks to be a masterful bit of game making, and the GB quick look only reinforces that. The creativity of indie devs to cook up these ideas is astonishing, let alone their ability to then hit the mark so often and make wonderful games borne of those left-field ideas. 'Tis a great time to be a gamer, as clichéd as that sounds.

Oh thanks. I can use that credit towards the other up and comings.

EDIT: Hmm, can't find where you get $12 back.

I know, with the Konami code right? Anyway, it was unlocked when I beat it on medium but I wanted to play on hard before it. I'm just saying I won't play it right after this last run and instead leave it for when I buy the Season Pass on the cheap.

 

[JaseC]

Oh thanks. I can use that credit towards the other up and comings.

EDIT: Hmm, can't find where you get $12 back.

Ah, the deal might be over: I came across it via Google as GMG AU isn't selling the game.

Edit: Yeah, it was a week-long deal.

Yeah, the deal is over, but they replaced it with a 25% off coupon on top of the 10% discount.

GMG25-OGRUH-7SM8H

Edit: For some reason, their blog for some reason doesn't list the 25% voucher as working on XCOM, but the "Coming soon" page on the actual site advertises that it does.

I tried the code myself using Spotflux: it doesn't work.

Edit edit:

Just tried it and the game rounds out to exactly $33.75. Thanks.

Well, that's odd!

 

[Stallion Free]

A lot of games I have played recently actaully have built in limiters.

 

[Milamber]

Edit: Yeah, it was a week-long deal.

Aww, thanks anyway. GMG would have been the way to go as I can use the cash back instantly on new games.

hot and gross at the same time

my favorite

wait no

just gross

Jase, we're gonna find out one day that you're some pale fat dude in a basement that lives with his deceased parents.

Or maybe Saorise Ronan.

I tried it twice to be sure and got this...

Not sure why it doesn't work with you.

I even tried typing the code out manually, but it didn't take. Oh well, good to know it does work!

Excellent, will look into getting this with Kane and Lynch tomorrow.

 

[Salsa]

ah yes, the moment

anyway, finished that. Game's fun, even when the Sheva AI can make it super frustrating sometimes

I finished it on 360, the game was fun, with some nice moments, but overall a bit dissapointing after RE4.

 

[Salsa]

also stupid last Wesker is so disappointingly easy, I beat him with no bullets

The Bureau is back on GMG au, but it's been Australia Tax'd. $71.95.

Great job 2k!

 

[Milamber]

*sigh*

GMG25-OGRUH-7SM8H (25% off) doesn't work for Saints Row IV.

 

[RionaaM]

Are those two worth getting? Heard they were kinda bad.

 

[JaseC]

GMGAU-3J9MF-MUINW knocks it down to $50.37, but it's a joke considering GMG's checkout system doesn't allow codes to stack, meaning US users still get a significantly better deal. If the code could be used in conjunction with a general discount code, it'd be great, but alas the gesture is practically meaningless.

 

[Salsa]

2 is fun and has a cool atmosphere and setting, 1 is terrible

 

[jediyoshi]

*sigh*

GMG25-OGRUH-7SM8H (25% off) doesn't work for Saints Row IV.

Oh wow, was curious whether they'd get it up for NA or not. I have to imagine they'll discount it one way or another before release. If they can beat $35~ they can have my money.

Does that code work for any game?

 

[JaseC]

Does that code work for any game?

It's specifically for pre-orders, although as per Milamber's post above it apparently doesn't work with SR4.

 

[Hesemonni]

Xcom : Bureau looks like a game which is bound to be -60% in max 3 months time. Can't you guys wait a bit?

 

[dani_dc]

Are those two worth getting? Heard they were kinda bad.

Started 2 a few days ago (found a retail version for 0.99 euros and thought it might be worth the risk... after buying it for 2-3 euros a few months earlier and finding Kane & Lynch 1 inside the box), it's a fun game, nothing amazing, but entertaining enough to spend a few hours.

Does that code work for any game?

No, only for the pre-order titles on that page.

They have a 20% code that should work for most other games (with exceptions) :

GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN

 

[More_Badass]

Oh, cool. Now is there a way to search by price or see all the indies on the site not just the selected ones on the main indie page?

 

[Gvaz]

Dragon commander is really short. I'm entirely disappointed :|

Seeing as Enemy Unknown didn't even perma price drop until this year, have fun with that.

 

[Gvaz]

No skirmish mode?

There's a skirmish mode and multiplayer but the single player is like...5-6 hours long.

I just blitzed through it in under 50 turns. I almost had all the dragon skills purchased and all the tech skills were purchased too.

 

[KarmaCow]

With all the GMG discounts, the game is almost already 50% off for a preorder + dlc and extra games.

 

[Blablurn]

is condemned 1 really as good as they say?

 

[Lingitiz]

Dragon commander is really short. I'm entirely disappointed :|

Took me about 12 hours. Certainly not lengthy for a game of it's type, but I wouldn't say it's short either.

I didn't play all that aggressively though early on and I didn't simulate a lot of battles.

I hope you got it from dunder or me not full price

 

[JaseC]

Oh, cool. Now is there a way to search by price or see all the indies on the site not just the selected ones on the main indie page?

You can search via genre and then sort the items by price. Unlike Steam, you can't just hit the search button with an empty field and sort a list of everything.

Enemy Unknown didn't bomb. Bureau will, hard :/

And then there's this.
