It'd be nice if WB and LucasArts could play nice and offer a Traveller's Tales Collection (the Lego games).

Should ask Salsa to put that info in the OP.

I can't believe he forgot the most important piece of info.

 

[Milamber]

Any Project Freedom impressions?

 

[benjipwns]

Can we buy as a gift and redeem what we want from our inventory?

I would assume the entry is just the "Collection" so you can't do this.

 

[Delusibeta]

No, you can't split bundles.

 

[Komedy]

Needs to be re-posted. Although I wish I'd seen it in time myself. Also voted for it on Steam :/


Oh, and once again:

The Prince of Persia Complete Pack is $15 in the US and even less in Europe: 9,99€

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8233/

Apparently a hidden flash sale. Lasts for another 30 hours.

Thx for this

 

[elektrixx]

I don't like these secret flash sales. How many have gone unnoticed?

 

[jediyoshi]

Wow that Batman Franchise bundle is badass.
I'm almost a little bummed out that all I actually need to pick up is the Harley Quinn DLC.

edit: Dammit GFWL, you gone and went confusing me. I bought some of the DLC through the gfwl marketplace and naturally when you look at the steam dlc page for it it doesn't give you the already owned warning.

 

[catabarez]

No, you can't split bundles.

Dammit Valve!

Spoiler

Nah you know I love you

 

[j0hnny_385]

Thanks. I guess I can wait a little bit longer for a GOTY version of Arkham City or something.

Why? You can get the game + all the DLCs (= GOTY version) now for considerably less than what the actual GOTY will cost at launch.

It's also unlikely more content will follow.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What's up with too common to go on sale games winning in polls?

 

[Tomodachi]

No one. I'm pretty sure it will pop up on the front page as soon as one of the current four goes away or when it will be 6-8 hours close to expiring. It's rather long for a flash sale, it will expire in one day and 4 hours.

Because I'm cheap and I don't like that buying all the DLC will cost more than the actual game itself (UK prices). Seems wrong.

I still wonder if it's a mislabeled daily deal, like they entered 1 instead of 2 into the database.

Either a huge stupid user base or Valve padding the ballot as they please.

 

[dosh]

How many community's choices did we vote for? 10?

 

[The One Who Knocks]

aww crap i STILL haven't pulled the trigger on Dead Island...

Is it worth it even if i am just gonna be playing COOP with one other person instead of 3 or 4? 2 of my friends jumped off

I don't have it so if you wish to ignore my advice by all means do but how much money do you have left and are you waiting for anything in particular?

After the rather mediocre reaction it seemed to have gotten upon release (that I had seen, perhaps I'm wrong) I'd say that if you are short on funds (less than €20) and are waiting on any high cost games (ARMA 2, The Witcher 2, etc.) or multiple smaller games (Just Cause 2, Counterstrike, Hard Reset, etc.) then I would advise holding off at a 66% discount.

You could then hope that it goes 75% off in Winter if you don't need to play it urgently (if you have Left 4 Dead to keep you and your friend occupied then even better) and at that stage you may not be questioning whether or not to buy it.

 

[benjipwns]

Either a huge stupid user base or Valve padding the ballot as they please.

Or people vote for the game they recognize the most.

 

[Card Boy]

To prince of persia complete or not to?

Its worth it just for Sands of Time and Forgetten Sands.

 

[ShironRedshift]

Quantum Conundrum is a bit meh, most of the puzzles rely heavily on platforming and timing, more than anything else, also the the humour in this game is APPALLING.

Really? That's disappointing, especially since platforming in a first-person 3D game is a very tricky thing to pull off well. Those ideas don't typically fit well together and if it's not pulled off perfectly ala something like Mirror's Edge, I can quite easily see those sections getting frustrating very quickly. Kind of more hesitant to pick it up now. =/

 

[Mista Koo]

Well you can try & see...

snip

Oh fascinating.

 

[ClosingADoor]

I'm thinking about grabbing Civ V. Any DLC that is necessary for a better game experience or will the base game do for my first Civ game?

 

[Dreavus]

Got a few friends to buy Assassin's Creed Revelations with me on PC during that flash deal last night - even though I own it on PS3 (that's the first time I've done something as wasteful as owning the same game on two platforms!) and multiplayer is spectacular. I don't know if I'll continue single player on console or just restart on PC now.

Anyone happen to know if the uplay reward stuff (character unlocks) carry over to different versions (PC --> PS3)?

 

[OniShiro]

Do they suport the 360 gamepad?

Just get the base game. Unless you want the extra six Civs, then get the GOTY, you'll save about three bucks over buying individually.

 

[Wallander]

UPlay appears be down/malfunctioning Just after I got ACR.

You still can play in offline mode, but you have to click Settings > [/] Offline mode...
and try logging in again.

Offtopic I know, but I thought this might help someone!

Ah well, time to try out Arkham City!

Just proves that democracy is shit.

 

[davidsaurus]

Sort of, though it's a little awkward to setup I believe. Well, actually I used a PS3 controller.

 

[Cromat]

What are the odds of Skyrim ending up in a daily deal better than the current -50%..?

It's worth it. You will get at least 20 hours of entertainment from that game, probably a lot more.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

AC2's didn't for me when I doubledipped, so I doubt it.

Although the UPlay points you've earnt do so if you've played a UPLay game on console and have unspent points, you can buy the PC unlock straight away.

If you log in to your Uplay account in AC:R you will see that you will have AC:R PC & AC:R PS3. Uplay points already unlocked on that specific version. But unspent points can be used for all titles you have.

 

[OniShiro]

Will wait for the next dailies and then decide. Only 15€ left for the rest of the sale and many days left.

not sure, i mean it IS different from L4Dead though right? They are both zombie shooters yes but i thought Dead Island was more quest based/XP etc. than L4Dead? Plus the tropical setting is appealing to me hmm

 

[j0hnny_385]

Game itself is: 6.79

All the DLCs combined: 7.93

That's a total of 14.72GBP. My guess is the GOTY ed. will cost around 20-25GBP when it comes out.
I bought AC during the Spring sale and just today I got all the DLCs. Incredible price.

But your money, your wallet man...

btw: if you're gonna buy retail, watch out for DAT COVER:

cheers!

 

[derFeef]

It's very different, it's open world questing in a zombie apocalypse. Very refreshing game.

 

[Symphonic]

I still can't believe that that cover is legitimate.

Haha, definitely won't be buying it at retail! I already own the game on 360 but I'd like having it on Steam too, if I didn't have it at all that would be a great price. I imagine the GOTY version would recieve a discount at some point too, I can wait.

 

[jepense]

Actually, you should get Civ IV complete instead. It's much better balanced even if it's older and not as pretty.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Thanks. Going to read up on it and see which one I'll pick.

 

[Leonsito]

L.A. Noire complete edition is 9.99€, how much is in US Dollars?

 

[Nabs]

It's $7.49

 

[Deleted member 10571]

What game is it from?

 

[benjipwns]

What game is it from?

"10 out of 10" - Game Informer

 

[Rickenslacker]

10 Out Of 10, obviously.

Edit: Shit!

 

[Sephon]

Thank you for that post, I was tearing myself apart here after I bought the Civ IV pack and started doubting my decision.

I'm really starting to hate this sale, it's so wonderfully cheap and I'm spending money I don't have on games that I won't play just because they're so deliciously cheap... I need help

 

[Card Boy]

Forgotten Sands 100% yes does with matching 360 on screen button prompts and rumble. The others support gamepad i belive but not native 360 pad you may have to Joy2Key.

 

[Milamber]

10 Out Of 10, obviously.

10 out o... NINJA'D! Damn!

 

[Leonsito]

The CE ? WTF

Can anyone gift it to me ?

 

[Barrow Roll]

I looked into and I read that it has controller support, but you'll have to mess with it to get it just right.

I looked into it as well and it sounds like it purely remaps m/kb controls. So movement is completely digital, not analog. That's a real bummer for a game like this. Am I wrong? Might just track down the Gamecube versions of the trilogy then.

 

[benjipwns]

Here's Civ IV Complete by the way, can be a bit hard for people to find: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4323/

You want Civ IV + BTS anyway and for the same price this throws in Colonization.
