If you can wait, well under 5 bucks with that 30% code.
Amazon strategy pack might still be better value depending on your location though, maybe.

With 30% code that will be 3,15€
Damn.

Snagged XCOM for $17

This GMG winter sale is awesome, anyone know when Steam is gonna do one?

 

[Polishin8r]

does anyone think Grid will get 50% off at least ?

 

[Sarcasm]

Yeah I am done with Dead Island FOREVER.

After days of trying to play it I am just done. Nothing from google helps and looks like Techland doesn't give a rats butt.

I like what I could play but its not worth 75% of time trying to get into the game.

Lol. Amazon and gmg have been killing it this time around.

Ice cold.

Everyone who thinks of buying FTL, do yourself a favor and buy the soundtrack edition - the OST is amazing.

 

[Atruvius]

XCOM get! Had 4€ credits so I only paid 13.50€. This was the game I wanted to buy during the sale and GMG to the rescue!

 

[ZenaxPure]

Sounds like more of a problem with your bank/CC company and Paypal rather than GMG.

Yeah, but it's not really. Read through the thread and you will see more than just me is having trouble. My paypal problems on the other hand are a separate issue I just hadn't bothered resolving because this is literally the first time I've actually needed paypal in the past 2 years.

Also what I'm trying to pay with is a mastercard gift card, which a) has nothing to do with my bank and b) has never given me a single problem at any of the places online or offline that I've tried to use it.

Maths edit:
2K Strategy pack: $20
or
Amazon: GOTY edition $12.50 today
GMG: G&K $3.15 on the 30th
or
Steam: Dunno, Straya.

Thank you

But alas, I've put all the money I had on my postepay on my Steam account >__> Sigh... I don't think there's a way to take it back =/

 

[dark_inferno]

Spec Ops for 3-4€? Bought!

 

[arts&crafts]

I know nothing about XCOM, but I hear great things. What is the game that has the most similar gameplay? Keep in mind I have never played an XCOM game.

 

[chixdiggit]

Speaking of Dead Island..the game is great if I can get past the shitty audio and constant crashes.

I run it on

W7 64 bit
I7 3770K
GTX670
8GB of ram.


Audio crackles. It crashes upon load. It crashes during play. It crashes during exit.

Verifying does nothing. I edited scr files and ini's. I give up.

There is -no- support from them either.

Start (in OS not game) Control panel - sound - playback - properties - advanced. Try changing the default format.

 

[Torraz]

The Secret World needs to go on sale by Sunday so I can walk away from this sale.

Ridiculous haul is ridiculous.

Do you know if the 30st or 31st is the cutoff date for the additional bonus stuff?

 

[Sullichin]

I can't speak for him but there's no problem with my paypal account, I use it all the time in different places, and have used it on GMG before. It just refuses to work today. Was able to get X-COM through my sister's GMG account / her paypal somehow though.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Just had the same problem trying to buy xcom for somebody on gmg using paypal.

Your Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue.

 

[gabbre]

L.A. Noire is 4.99$ in US and 7.49€ in Europe. WTF?

 

[kitzkozan]

Xcom probably won't be 17$ on steam until the next winter sale if that goddamn. Gods and kings 85% off + the voucher is too tempting as well.

 

[didamangi]

L.A. Noire is 4.99$ in US and 7.49€ in Europe. WTF?

It's $3.74 in my region lol

 

[gabbre]

It's $3.74 in my region lol

Fuck that shit

Try completing the purchase using a different device. Apparently, this has been met with success for some.

It'll be 85% off on GMG come Sunday and the 30% discount code will stack.

 

[taku]

So... Hotline Miami. Everytime I look at those screenshots reminds me of the old Loaded game for Saturn/PS1. I wasn't very fond of that game. GAF, convince me otherwise.

Bought it and tried it. Next time I tried to play it, it wouldn't start. I fixed that bug, now it starts but I don't get any sound. It seems to be a tad bit buggy at the moment.. seems like fun game though!

So that comes out to $4.50 without a 30% code. Insane.

 

[Fireblend]

Ok guys I have $6 credit on GMG, should I get xcom for $11? I haven't paid attention to the game at all but I'm about to give in to the hype D: is the 360 pad support good?

 

[Isaccard]

Do you know if the 30st or 31st is the cutoff date for the additional bonus stuff?

31st is the cut off. Buying it by Sunday for sure, sale or not.

This sunday for Civ: G&K.

 

[Torraz]

Going to have to get gods and kings on sunday. Insane deal.

I only have Civ 5 base (bought at release). If I add gods and kings, am I missing any significant DLC?

31st is the cut off. Buying it by Sunday for sure, sale or not.

Alright, thank you. Will do the same. Will beg a US gaffer to gift it to me, worst case. 22, 50 $ is still a decent price.

Also 75% off spec ops @ Saturday @ gmg. Together with the 30% code it may be time to buy that game.

 

[chixdiggit]

It'll be 85% off on GMG come Sunday and the 30% discount code will stack.

Well god damn is that a deal. Thanks.

 

[ZenaxPure]

Just had the same problem trying to buy xcom for somebody on gmg using paypal.

This is the error I was getting originally, but, I went and tried it again and it doesn't even give me that. It simply doesn't accept my card and doesn't give any sort of reason why.

To double check the card was working I literally just went and bought something on Steam about 10 seconds ago, worked without a problem.

GMG is just broke.

 

[ShaneB]

My god at those GMG deals. I guess PC gaming is a great thing where I feel like I got a little burned by paying 20 for Xcom, and 7.50 for Gods&Kings. lol. But I've definitely got my money's worth and have played both for many hours, and will continue to play them, so it's not so bad

Will be down to the cabin until tomorrow sometime, so I hope I don't miss any stellar flash deals.

Spoiler

HA! as if! ....

 

[I H8 Memes]

Try completing the purchase using a different device. Apparently, this has been met with success for some.

Ah. Makes no sense how that method would work. In any event I don't have another device, but I appreciate the help.

 

[Miker]

Is any of the DLC for XCOM worth getting at 30% off from GMG? Something tells me no, especially when the money can go towards FTL on Steam.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Wow. Civ V: G&K will be about $3.15 after the 85% with the 30% coupon. That's insane!

 

[Isaccard]

If you're having problems buying from GMG, it's not their fault, it's your banks. Your bank sucks. Call them and get it fixed.

 

[eznark]

Ah. Makes no sense how that method would work. In any event I don't have another device, but I appreciate the help.

Every time I make a purchase on GMG my credit card gets frozen. It's a fucking annoyance that I'm just no longer willing to bother with. I'd rather pay an extra few bucks.

 

[JaseC]

Will be down to the cabin until tomorrow sometime, so I hope I don't miss any stellar flash deals.

HA! as if! ....

I'm still waiting on Miasmata and Primordia to reappear after losing their respective Community's Choice polls several days ago now.

 

[Danielsan]

Yeah! Just made it to sector 5 in FTL.

 

[JaseC]

None of the DLC adds anything substantial.

 

[Wok]

Hum... I have not got a single problem with any website but GMG. And I am not the only customer. So the problem comes from GMG.

 

[arts&crafts]

31st is the cut off. Buying it by Sunday for sure, sale or not.

So the 31st is the last day of daily/flash sales but everything will stay on sale until January 5th?

 

[Snapshot King]

If you're having problems buying from GMG, it's not their fault, it's your banks. Your bank sucks. Call them and get it fixed.

Really. All of the seperate people in this thread and every thread regarding GMG, most of whom have different banks. They're all together wrong. It can't possibly be GMG being a weird shitty website with odd technical problems.

 

[d1rtn4p]

Is Blood Bowl Chaos Edition fun as a single player game?

 

[dantevsninjas]

So the 31st is the last day of daily/flash sales but everything will stay on sale until January 5th?

I believe they were talking about the Secret World event.

 

[ShaneB]

I'm still waiting on Miasmata and Primordia to reappear after losing their respective Community's Choice polls several days ago now.

Yeah, Primordia is on my wishlist.

I guess I'm just having a lot of restraint this sale. No idea when I will play these games, so it feels like I'm only biting on things I know won't likely be cheaper before I am able to play them.

But saying that, I did get a 50$ visa gift card, and it seems obvious to use that to just buy more games. lol

 

[OniShiro]

Its even 100% for me. (WTF are they doing?)

100% here too, but won't let me buy it.

 

[fokkusu]

If you're having problems buying from GMG, it's not their fault, it's your banks. Your bank sucks. Call them and get it fixed.

It might be GMG issue also.

From GMG support forums:
http://forums.greenmangaming.com/topic/2942/?page=8#post-33696

I've had the same problem many times even after calling my credit card company. I think GMG has some issues with their payments. You have to just keep trying and eventually it will go through. I hope GMG gets it fixed because it can't be good for sales.

 

[JaseC]

They're discussing The Secret World, not the Winter Sale:

Buy the game before December the 31st and all the content in Issue #5, which will be released shortly, will also be included and you will receive the Initiate Pack, which includes strong starter weapons, a Blood Raven pet and extra social clothing.

 

[arts&crafts]

I believe they were talking about the Secret World event.

Damn I am slow, you are right. Looks like I will buy it before as well. I bet the company told steam to wait until after that for the sale.
