Hi guys!

$49.99

Not a bad bundle. I was expecting them to throw NBA2k15 into it as well.

 

[trailmix16]

is there a way to see what titles have russian versions on Green Man Gaming? I'm searching for "(RU)" with not much luck

Can't give people too good a deal.

 

[Salsa]

uh I still have to play Minerva's den

so, I own it?

 

[Turfster]

Not a bad bundle. I was expecting them to throw NBA2k15 into it as well.

The... 2011? 2012? version of the 2K bundle was the last one that had sports games included, iirc.
(At least, 2K11 is the last one I had in that bundle I bought)

 

[freshVeggie]

isn't it free with bio 2 now?

No. (from Humble Bundle)

 

[Nabs]

uh I still have to play Minerva's den

You should go play it right now.

 

[JaseC]

isn't it free with bio 2 now?

It was free just for those who owned the game prior to the Steamworks patch since there was no easy way for 2K to ascertain who'd bought it as buying DLC on GFWL didn't confer a key.

 

[Vlad]

GMG is doing a R* sale.
80% off franchise packs, 75% off separate titles it seems
Extra 22% off with 22SLIC-KDEALS-EXCLUS

Nice, time to continue my "catching up on sandbox games I missed last generation" mission. GTA4, here I come!

 

[DmAc2k6]

So GTA 1 and 2 are included in the GMG sale?

They're in my library after buying it. But it didn't say they were included on the site.

 

[Turfster]

Sigh. Oh Volvo.

Weekend

• Tropico 5 75% off FREE WEEKEND

ah well, i still think minerva's den is overrated

it's not bad, it's actually a really good piece of bioshocking, but your life can be complete without playing it

R* made new GTA Complete subs some months ago that lack GTA and GTA2, so you got lucky. It's impossible to say how many "old" keys GMG has remaining.

Awesome. I've been wanting to buy them for a while now.

what can you say that isnt true for

 

[Darth Kupi]

If you get an "old" key will it have GTA VC and GTA SA without the music fiddled with aka the classic versions?

 

[TheLetdown]

what can you say that isnt true for

inb4 LoL.

This actually raises a pretty good question: what game would you consider truly necessary? Not just a favorite or a classic, but something that has to be experienced before you die.

 

[JaseC]

If you get an "old" key will it have GTA VC and GTA SA without the music fiddled with aka the classic versions?

Yes.

Edit: VC yes, SA no because R* got lazy (no, really -- it couldn't be bothered repeating what it previously did with VC and 2K very recently did with Bio2, so everybody got the patch).

 

[dex3108]

Yes.

As far as i know San Andreas update removed music in all versions. Only Vice City survived.

 

[morningbus]

what can you say that isnt true for

If you haven't played Super Mario Bros, I consider your murder an incredibly late term abortion.

 

[JaseC]

Ah, yeah, missed the mention of SA, haha.

 

[Salsa]

man enemy within is still 8 bucks? its time I get it and do another xcom playthrough but I was expecting like 4-5.

its not that great either, is it?

 

[dex3108]

I have corrected Jase it's a miracle!!! XD

 

[LurkerPrime]

It's good. It's very good.

 

[Dio Brando]

man, deciding on what monitor to buy is a pain in the ass. Was using 2 monitors(Samsung Syncmaster S22B300), but one of them broke. Now i can't decide if i want two monitors(probably the Dell S2340L) or get a BenQ XL2420Z for "future proofing", even if i cant use the 144hz on every game, and get used to use different monitors :/

 

[Jawmuncher]

inb4 LoL.

This actually raises a pretty good question: what game would you consider truly necessary? Not just a favorite or a classic, but something that has to be experienced before you die.

MGS1 is the only game I would put there.

 

[Turfster]

Thief 2.
Monkey Island 2.

So many more =p

Civ in some form or another*.

*Revolution 1&2 do not count.

 

[HoosTrax]

What's the word regarding the latest Borderlands games (Presequel or w/e it's called)?

It doesn't seem like it's all that popular for some reason, at least compared to how popular BL2 was when it first came out. Are people just bored of the formula? I got a few hundred hours out of both previous games, so unlike some people here, I liked the gameplay just fine. In fact, I think they could have taken the FPS/RPG hybrid further, and added a crafting mechanic.

 

[Salsa]

wow, Strider controls amazingly. they kinda nailed this aspect with the old ones

 

[Jawmuncher]

Civ in some form or another*.

*Revolution 1&2 do not count.

Wish revolution was on pc. I want the easy version of civ.

If you liked Borderlands 1 and 2 you will like the presequel. It is more of the same + low grav, its fun. I enjoyed all of them so I don't regret my purchase day 1.

So Kojima will leave Konami after MGSV and there is meltdown on GAF.

Not a bad bundle. I was expecting them to throw NBA2k15 into it as well.

Would be a great bundle if they're not too cheap to thrown in the complete/goty version of Borderlands 2, Civ V, XCOM EU, Bioshock Infinite. You'll probably going to buy the complete version of those games again down the line since it's almost always cheaper to buy it rather than the DLC pack.

Anyone interested in buying Bioshock Infinite Season Pass should take a look here. Use macgames5off for 5%off.

 

[Maniac]

Thief 2.
Monkey Island 2.

So many more =p

Deux Ex, Half Life 1 & 2, Portal 2 (imo, the writing is 2gd), System Shock (1 or 2, YMMV)

I want to say Bioshock 1, but it's really not aged well at all imo. And uh... Well, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 1 (+ Broodwars) and Diablo 2 are must-plays to me aswell, but those aren't as must-puhlaaay as them thar shootery thangs I mentioned earlier.

So Kojima will leave Konami after MGSV and there is meltdown on GAF.

Oh fuck off. Silent Hill(s) finally had a shot at becoming a good if not great series again, and this shit happens? Sigh. Bye-bye Kojima-Guillermo Silent Hill, we hardly knew ye.

And to quote one of my good Steam friends "Is Konami run by retarded cows with bollocks for brains?"

I believe we all have known the answer to be "Yes" for a long time.

 

[Stallion Free]

what can you say that isnt true for

anime

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Nyu Media's announcement.

Well, sure feels like I wasted my time editing Python scripts and sweating over syntax over and over again now.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So Kojima will leave Konami after MGSV and there is meltdown on GAF.

Oh well. He'll finally get to make non MGS games and he's Bound to get a new IP going soon enough.

The controls are fine, the problem I had was the lack of feedback in dispatching enemies. It made the game less satisfying, along with the confusing-as-hell map layout.

 

[Stallion Free]

Ori and the Blind Forest is great. I love how punchy everything feels.

 

[Nabs]

You guys need to play Ori.

Was watching the BTA go steadily downward... and then someone paid $100.

 

[fenners]

I thoroughly enjoyed vertical drop heroes HD & Nightmare Co-operative. Nightmare in particular is /hard/.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Yep.

It's going back down now, though.

I like the controls so much that after an hour I restarted on Hard

think im gonna regret this

 

[zkylon]

what can you say that isnt true for

This actually raises a pretty good question: what game would you consider truly necessary? Not just a favorite or a classic, but something that has to be experienced before you die.

probably very few games
super metroid, dark souls, mario 3 (at least that's my favorite), shadow of the colossus, majora's mask, planescape, doom, system shock 2, thief (maybe thief 2, but i haven't played it),

Spoiler

league of legends lol

, and many more i can't think of right now

for all my love of fallout i think u can live a full life without playing it, although it will be much worse life for it

probably a million more, you can't really reduce gaming to a few
