Hmmmmm now I'm in two minds do I buy all the DSII DLC I'm missing which is just shitty disposable weapons mind and the soundtrack or do I just suck it up and take 80% off or do I wait until the thing is out in the wild and see how that goes and pick it up later on down the road at an inevitable discount for probably the same amount. Saying that the wording does seem like OG Darksiders II might be getting removed as of tomorrow unless I'm interpreting 'this version will be offline with release of the Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition' wrong.

Milamber alert!

wooooooow
I'm not following this exactly -- you only get the remake of Darksiders II if you bought the franchise pack on Steam, otherwise it's 80% off?
So if it's a $40 game, you can "upgrade" for $8?
I don't think they're going to get a lot of upgrades that way...
You would think so, but almost nothing in life is guaranteed...
I've subbed, but I expect I will get 0 games I don't own and will end up disappointed outside of being able to gift my friends some decent games.
Does that work?
Can you buy the soundtrack if it's all your missing from the franchise pack content?
Or are they talking about the actual sub for the franchise pack being tied to your account?

It's a 30 dollar game.

guess I'll be getting the new Darksiders II version for free (bought the Franchise Pack from Bundle Stars last year)
I don't like messing up with a VPN.

Ok, so... $6 for the upgrade or $5 for the soundtrack... still iffy. The lack of owning the soundtrack (or the lack of having the actual franchise pack license), shouldn't prevent them from doing something for previous owners.
Oh well. Will wait to see what happens with people trying to upgrade by just grabbing the soundtrack.
Games I've seen mentioned as guesses:
Beseiged, Gat out of Hell, Valkyria, Sunless Sea, Rogue Legacy, Torchlight 2
Probably late, but GOG has startet "Big Fall Sale".

That's one hideous site, I think I'll stick with gaf.... at least until it becomes niche too.
Valkyria Chronicles, Transistor, Rogue Legacy, Saints Row 4, Besiege
edited: so what exactly we get? I'm talking about Darksiders, wording is rather confusing.
A 10% discount? It's like they don't want me to buy it.
Sometimes yes as I've had it where I've bought all apps for a sub (I think Civ V complete or something) and it shows you are owning it despite you buying them piecemeal. Other times it doesn't like Borderlands 2 GOTY edition as I own everything from their but it doesn't register as me owning that particular sub. Some Ubisoft titles are the same too but with DLC items. For example I own everything AssCreed on Steam but apparently I don't own the individual DLC Items that show up on the store for III or Black Flag due to getting them granted to me via their season passes. End of the day it's a gamble that could be pissing away money and probably wont work at all going by madjoki's post about getting them individually from Amazon.

I almost wish they would have done a Free 2 Play weekend with no discount.
Just so we could shake our heads even more.
Yeah it's not worth the gamble to save 1 dollar. Since either you save a dollar, or you end up paying 11 for your 80% discount technically.
Unless they PC price is 19.99 but looking at the current Darksiders 2 price, that's doubtful.

Too late. GAF is already niche. Just not as niche as some other things.
And if you own Darksiders II, I think you get an 80% discount on the "Death"finitive edition.
If you own the Franchise pack, you get the upgrade free, I think.

So I have to buy all these Blands skins individually from Amazon? That's a pain in the dick.

I'm surprised Kyd still does game soundtracks.
He has always been superb. I would have thought he would have moved to greener pastures of hollywood by now.

damn.... I should have picked dlcs
wait, that doesn't count as buying full pack, does it?
edited: I mean I have both games but only one dlc.
That's not normal, I think you should see a doctor.

All the Borderlands 2 skins were free on Amazon. I managed to get 24 out of the 30 that were free, the rest were OOS.

Looks like the Free stuff was a mistake, they seem to be fixing it now.

Guess that would explain why half my orders are failing. Grabbed a few anyway.
I've finally completed the first mission of Knife of Dunwall after two unsuccessful attempts (the first time through I realised I'd forgotten to buy the favour that gives you an additional rune to find while the second time I encountered this issue). Just as well, too, as I'd settled on dropping the idea of playing through the DLC if something went awry yet again.

'HD' Releases of Games Nobody Wanted The First Time Around™
I can't wait for the PS4 version of Resident Evil 6.
That reminds me a screwing up a Deus Ex HR Pacafists run because the stupid game killed someone I popped to the side of a wall I punched through as a shortcut. I very carefully knocked them out and made sure they were very gently put down but no bullshit game screwed me out of the achievement which I only worked out when I saw it pop up on the results screen and had no decent save prior to that.
Still not as bad as Mad Max 3 totally dicking me out or the Hard difficulty and no auto aim achievements on 360. All because I dared to enter the settings menu.

I'm currently plying Old World Blues and plan on playing Dead Money and Lonesome Road as well, but I'm not when should I finish the main quest? I know you can't continue playing after you've finished it so that's tricky. I don't know how many possible locations or quests I'm still missing around the map and I wouldn't want to finish the game without doing those
Is the explorer perk worth taking so I could see the locations I haven't discovered yet?

I can get no free stuff these days, indiegala wasn't sending me Lucius activation, when it did, "giveaway is over now" activation message appeared, none of Amazone freebies were available for me. *sighs
probably it's time to let free stuff go
Would love that. I liked RE6.
Owning all DLC isn't enough, you need to have bought Franchise pack as a single steam code. (At least Amazon gave separate codes).
Most loyal fans wouldn't have bought that, they would've bought games separately. Which is why decision is very weird.
Even Neocore is doing this with Van Helsing Final Cut, so it can't be impossible as they say.
if that's the case, that's a mean thing to do as it screws all early buyers me included, otoh business as usual. That will teach us to wait for franchise packs.
My initial thought was, "Eh, 80% off is good enough", but I just remembered that I bought the franchise pack a while back as it was (and still is) the only way to get the Darksiders OST DLC. The DLC's own store sub was yanked shortly after going up as the soundtrack is included in the game's installation folder by default.

managed to get 22 of those Borderlands 2 skins
That's what I find a little odd as although Neocore did alluded to it being a little difficult and they might need to work things out with Valve they do say just buy what you have missing games wise and they'll grant youy Final Cut free. Even Daedalic managed tiered discounts for owners of Deponia titles at varrying rates per owned title.

"I wish our games did Capcom numbers" said no publisher ever.
Everything is hard to do when you don't particularly want to do it in the first place.
They probably just are trying to avoid giving it away to buyers of bundles, that indiegala bundle had separate keys, not a franchise pack, no?
That's only reason I can think of.
Hmmmm, is this a good thing or ehh thing?
wooooooow
Man Rise of Tomb Raider better be long game because people are streaming it left and right (official streams by IGN, Youtubers etc.).
Also i heard that Fallout 4 map is "small". Some guy apparently walked across the map in 11 minutes. Maybe is only tutorial area or something like that i don't know. I don;t have real source for this except my friends word that he saw it somewhere (reddit, stream...).

I always find such measures pretty meaningless. Same as "biggest open world map ever". Who cares if there is nothing in it, or only bad stuff.
If I see any more ROTR footage I fear I'm going to do something very stupid.
I'm sure it's because of technical reasons

Literally says you have to own the franchise pack in your library.
So obviously redeem it if you want the free deathinitive edition of 2.
Has to be today, wont be around tomorrow.
It means that you'll only be getting the game for free if you activated/bought the franchise pack, otherwise you'll have to settle for the 80% loyalty discount.

Is there an easy way to compare prices in different regions on Origin? I want to get the Ultimate Edition of Battlefront as cheaply as possible.

He has mentioned before that he has more freedom in video game soundtracks than any of his TV or film projects. When he comes to a video game projects, studios often say they want electronic or orchestra in general but that's it. Often companies will bend over backwards to match his music's beats. In film, the director will often come in with an existing piece of music and say they want a new piece that sounds exactly like it, just changed enough to avoid copyright and matches up with a moving picture, which they will be editing while he makes the sound track.
