Dark Souls will be 17 on Amazon. (on the 26th, iirc)

$13 if you have the $5 credit and wait until the 1st of Jan.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Its already 66% off lol.

Oh, Well I knew Walking Dead was $10 from Gamefly, so didn't vote for that

 

[NekoToshiro]

Using a shared PS3 account or charging me practically another copy of Dead Island to get the DLC?

It was a joke I redeem codes on my friends Xbox under my name and just transfer my licenses later. I was going to put " Umm umm ummmmmm" But I decided to be mature.

 

[Shepard]

Oh, I have it and I forgot about them
Thanks.

Hmm, not sure if I want to go through the hassle of finding a US address though.

Are there random generators for that BTW? For US addresses.

I use one of the Apple Stores, and already bought a lot of games from there, no problem until now.

Am I allowed to put up a random address or can I get in trouble for that?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I use one of the Apple Stores, and already bought a lot of games from there, no problem until now.

So like just put in an address for, let's say, the new York apple store?

 

[mannerbot]

I'm sure Amazon really wants to catch all those bad guys that buy stuff from them.

 

[RyL]

// Done! Big thanks to NekoToshiro

It's currently $6 on Amazon. All you need to do is add a US billing address (any US Google office will suffice).

Didn't work. Like I said, both of my credit cards act funny sometimes. At least with paypal I can use Giropay. (WELL IT BETTER DOES)

I meant on Gaf lol.

Yes. You can come to my house (Apple NYC, iirc) if you want, lol.

Edit:

So I still need some help.

That's unfortunate, though on the bright side purchasing through Steam is setting you back less than $2, so it's no great loss.

 

[blindrocket]

Amazon seems to have a really good price on the Crysis collection @ $15, however, I can't see if it activates on Steam or not. Can anyone tell me? Thanks

General rule: If it is EA the answer is no.

These don't work on steam.

 

[Incendiary]

Okay, two questions for everyone:

1. If I've never played a Tom Clancy game, which one would be the best to buy out of the franchise that's on sale right now?

2. What kind of strategy game is Dawn of War II? Is the franchise bundle worth $10?

Activates on Origin.

One of the reviewers says it doesn't work on Steam and its an EA game. Most likely Origin.

2. What kind of strategy game is Dawn of War II? Is the franchise bundle worth $10?

1)
[1] Rainbow Six 3 Gold
[2] Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
[3] Rainbow Six: Vegas
[4] Splinter Cell

2) Yes. Check out some reviews on it. I bought it all but Retribution for $7.50. The first game and first 2 expansions for it are also awesome. It is an RTS that is more squad focused.

1- Def buy Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. If you want a tactical squad game, Rainbow Six 3. A good action squad shooter, Vegas.

2- No idea.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Cool, I'll give it a shot.

Dark souls isn't redeemable on steam though right? Being gfwl.

 

[NekoToshiro]

Activates on Origin.

What do you think about Origin? I would rather avoid having to get multiple services like steam.
Nice hats by the way.

1. I am not the one to answer that.

2. Dawn of War 2 is a real time strategy game that focuses on a small team of hero units (and their subordinates) rather than large armies of generic units. It's sort of similar to Warcraft 3 in some respects. Your heroes have rpg-like leveling systems, but the gameplay takes place on a series of rts maps.

I would say it is worth $10 (I paid more for each piece separately over the years), but it depends if you like the genre.

I would say if you had to choose another service that isn't Steam, Origin is pretty good. I have never had an issue with it and I own 14 games for the service.

 

[mannerbot]

It redeems on Steam.

 

[Rikkun]

Hotline Miami didn't win?!

Yeah, I was quite sure it would've easily win, I'll have to wait

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Steam account and Games for Windows Live required for game activation and installation on the page.

Thanks. Got free games from Origin, but I bought nothing from them. I still stick to either DRM free or Steam.

 

[NekoToshiro]

LOL I just don't care to much for EA. Sorry to say.

 

[Shepard]

Actually it is, just like other GFWL games, you'll still have their client when you open the game (Both Gfwl and steam).

 

[CambriaRising]

LOL I just don't care to much for EA. Sorry to say.

Well if you want to play any future EA published titles on PC, you will have to assimilate

No seriously, it is not a bad service at all.

 

[GK86]

Didn't work. Like I said, both of my credit cards act funny sometimes. At least with paypal I can use Giropay. (WELL IT BETTER DOES)

So I still need some help.

// or I will try it later with a third credit card

Check your PMs.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Huh, that's surprising to me. Cool to hear though.

 

[NekoToshiro]

There whole console thing about no system linking annoyed the living crap out of me. . . and then they shut servers down.

 

[Lasthope106]

The sale has been complete bust for me. I already own most of the must have pc games. Does anyone feel the same way? Sad thing is that I probably haven't played even 25% of my steam backlog.

 

[Incendiary]

Thanks for all the input. I'm partial to Rainbow Six because I loved the book and was eyeing Vegas, but I know there's a lot of clunkers in the Tom Clancy franchise. I'll probably pick up Vegas and Chaos Theory, maybe Rainbow Six 3 as well.

As for Dawn of War II, I'll probably pick that up as well since I prefer squad based stuff to RTSes like Starcraft and Age of Empires where there's a lot of micromanaging.

Thanks again for the help.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I know it's not on sale anymore but Unmechanical is a really awesome game guys.

 

[Dmax3901]

Anyone played Air Buccaneers, is it any good?

I enjoyed playing TC:RS Vegas 2 with people online. Even better when everyone has a mic and you actually use tactics.

 

[Raxus]

Gamefly doesn't accept paypal? I am never going to get Hotline Miami .

 

[SolarPowered]

How does GMG work for someone who wants to be gifted a key? Sleeping Dogs is at a great price, but I don't have enough money in the bank atm to buy it. My steam wallet has enough, but Sleeping Dogs is not discounted on Steam heavily yet. I was thinking of asking my cousin to buy it for me and give me the key since he owes me $60 anyway. Can that be done just fine? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm used to buying these games with my own wallet or card and if I ever get a gift game it is directly through steam, not a key from another website.

This is an easy Community Choice vote, there are only 2 choices. Deponia is 66% for the remainder of the Steam sale, so choosing it to remain at 66% would be pointless.

Oh Jeez

I've been conditioned to look at flash sale percentages over prices, it seems. Yeah, this becomes a muuuuuuuuuch easier choice after looking at the price for Deponia. Nothing changes there. TWD it is. I'm pretty sure it would have won out even if Deponia had been discounted to 80% off.

 

[Kevin]

How is Ace of Spades? Worth the $5?

 

[feel]

I can't decide which game I should vote for. What are the chances that we will see a similar $12.50 price during the upcoming Amazon sale for TWD? I'd say pretty good...

Amazon will indeed have it for $12.50 on the 27th.

 

[BadAss2961]

This time comes for all of us. It's not the sale, it's you. Other than recently released games that are still near full price, you have all the games you want.

For every one of us, there's someone out there with not many games, completely overwhelmed by all the deals.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

TWD will be $12.49 on Amazon at 12/27-12/29

 

[SolarPowered]

Amazon will indeed have it for $12.50 on the 27th.

Oh dammit... I should have gone with Deadlight. Oh well... there are a lot more days left before holiday sales are done. Deadlight is bound to have a nice price drop sooner or later.

 

[Chittagong]

Damn, my Paypal linked to my bank account rejects GMG, guess I will wait for a Steam sale of Sleeping Dogs

 

[scorpscarx]

For every one of us, there's someone out there with not many games, completely overwhelmed by all the deals.

I don't think so, not unless they are too lazy to check Amazon(at the least) before pressing the buy button.

That argument isn't really valid anymore because these deals aren't 80%+ and therefore not all that great.

 

[baconcow]

Yeah, I was quite sure it would've easily win, I'll have to wait

Hotline Miami, for the hardcore savists, is one of those games that might end up really cheap or free in January on Amazon if you have the $5 off promotional code. At worst, the game will be $5, at best, free.

 

[Minion101]

I bought The Sims 3 and an xpac because I had everything. Instant buyers remorse.
