nope
 
I'll wait for steam sale to get batman then. fuck gamefly client. They can give out keys or they can continue being irrellevant
 
Has anyone ever seen LA Noire elsewhere for that price? I was totally going to pick it up but I misread "6/7 11:59PM" as being "7 11:59PM". I thought the last round of sales ended tonight; the only reason I held off on LA Noire was because I was seeing if Amazon would PM (they're too busy to PM anything right now, according to Tony).

But yeah, has it ever dropped this low before? Hoping it goes up for this price again. :whistle2:(

Steam will probably have it marked down during the summer sale.

looks like you may get another chance
 
Gotta say, as good as these prices are/were, GameFly is the biggest pain. They sent me a message saying unless I called them by phone within 48 hours, my orders would be cancelled. Really cool when their offices close at 4PM (give me a break, 4PM?) and I'm in Hawaii. Apparently that is standard protocol for any new buyer using a credit/debit card. Never had to do that with any other company; ever. Really stupid.

Also, the downloader is slow as sin. Through Amazon's downloader (as crappy as it is) I could easily get 1000kbps+. Through GameFly I'm lucky to get 300kbps... Honestly? Oh well, can't complain for the price.
 
I would have jumped on Prototype (always been curious about it, but heard it wasn't good enough to mess with) if I could have activated it on Steam. I already have Steam and Origin; I do not want to have to use a third game client, especially if it is as slow as everyone is claiming.

Apparently it isn't a game client, it's just a downloader. Once you've downloaded the game you don't have to use it at all (from what I've heard).
 
Having dealt with them extensively, they suck. They're great at saying "We want to help, contact us", but nothing beyond that. I'd go into my horror stories dealing with them, but the numbers on that site speak for themselves:

336 Negative Comments out of 406 Total Comments is 82.76%.
 
To anyone wondering how the client works, I've downloaded a couple games now and I can say for certain that:


1. You "download" the game through the client; this is extremely slow (200-300kbps on broadband).

2. You "install" the game through the client; sometimes pressing the "install" button will simply launch the same setup you'd see if you ran the game from a CD or used the game's default setup program.

3. You select the installation path before or (sometimes) during the setup; this will install the game files extraneous from the GameFly client.

4. When you first launch the game, a GameFly window will popup and automatically activate the game; if you do this offline, you simply need to check in your purchase history for the game's activation key and put that in.

And that's it. The GameFly client is NOT a game client like Steam or Origin, it's simply a downloader/installer. It's slow, yes, but beyond that it's really no big deal and it's easy enough to navigate (and also allows you to specify the installation path, which is nice).

If you're offline and trying to activate a game that DOESN'T come with an activation code (like VTM: Bloodlines), the popup will give you an "unlock request code". You need to contact GameFly support and give them this number, they will get back to quite quickly (only took a few minutes for me) with an activation code you can use.

All in all, I'm pleased enough with how they do things. Steam is nice, but my gaming laptop right now CANNOT go online whatsoever, so it's impossible for me to play Steam games. I'm happy that GameFly gives offline gamers a chance to play.
 
The speeds didn't seem too bad. I bought two games the other night, started them up before I went to sleep and they we're both done when I woke up. TOO easy.

Max Payne 3 on steam however took forever...
 
Downloading overnight means they took quite awhile to download, lol. Personally I don't really care how long it takes to download something anyways, like you said, overnight downloading isn't a big deal.
 
Excellent price on Shogun 2. I got it, and it's product key is usable with Steam. Has it ever been lower than $9?

Nice price on Civ V. I'll get that too when the sale happens.

It's pretty much constantly been 7.50 in sales for the past few months.

Yeah, I couldn't remember whether or not I remembered it being $7.50 during Amazon's Mayhem PCDD Sale. It's an awesome game at either price.

For those who are perhaps buying The Witcher, GOG.com is letting you use the product key from The Witcher (doesn't work with Steam), to have the game on GOG and download it through them. Their downloading client is about 3 times faster than Gamefly's.

It does work with Steam if you go through the verification process on this site: http://www.thewitcher.com/backup/

It has Steam instructions.

No, that should be for GFWL. It doesn't register on Steam.
 
Loving Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines so far. To anyone considering picking it up when it goes on sale again (on the 19th was it?), it installs with the official v1.2 patch, so there's no need to grab that online.

A lot will tell you the fan patches are better (and I can't say otherwise), but it seems to be a common thought that the official patch fixes things up fine for the most part.
 
Not sure where you're getting that common thought from. The basic fan patch fixes like a zillion bugs. Can you even select most widescreen resolutions with the official patch?
 
I've seen multiple gaming communities say again and again that it's not that big of a deal to play through it with the official 1.2 patch. I really haven't run into any bugs yet myself, and the ones that remain don't break the game as far as everyone says. The fan patches also change things that don't need to be changed from what I hear, such as a line being changed to "Oh wait, Troika didn't finish making that weapon, lolololol" or something. Kinda makes one rather play it Vanilla first (I'll try Wesp's patch after I play through the game once, probably).

As far as the resolutions, I've got it on my standard laptop resolution of 1366x768, so it's good for me.
 
I bought one game in the gamefly client and one game on the gamefly website. I had to wait an age for the website to confirm my order, but the game I bought in the client activated strait away. Not sure if this was a coincidence, but it might be better to download the gamefly client and buy the game from there. Can anybody corroborate?

I bought Assassin's Creed II on the site, and almost instantly was able to start downloading it from the client.
 
[quote name='Outrager']I don't think the Crysis ME was actually put on sale because it was $14.99 even before the sale started.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, only reason I changed the price to $4.49 because of the stepsister thread over @Slick Deals had that price written down and the editor was saying how great of a deal it was for that particular game. I've changed it back since so as not to mislead anyone.

While I got incredibly bored quickly with Assassin's Creed 1, I'm thinking of trying 2. Seems like a good price and I know quite a few people that hated one and loved the rest.

EDIT: Never mind, it's back up to $19.99... That's what I get for waiting.

I cant buy anything from GameFly since I'm in Argentina and they have RESTRICTIONS. With Direct2Drive I could purchase some games, now I cant buy any. fuck.
 
So, this is coming from someone who is a complete noob when it comes to PC gaming (my laptop is ~7 years old and the concept of trying playing a game on it terrifies me) but I'm planning on getting a new system in the next 2-3 months and I had was wondering, when purchasing a direct download online, how important is the source? I've heard a lot about Origin being a pain, Steam being pretty awesome, and beyond that a few games having DRM issues that ruin the whole experience, and frankly it can be a lot to filter through. I guess my question would be if I purchase any of these games through Gamefly, say for example Crysis ME, would there be any reason why I'd be better off purchasing it through Steam or even the disc based version? Sorry, I'm sure its a pretty basic question, but I'd like to get it figured out since I feel like I've missed out on some good PC games by primarily sticking to my PS3 & Xbox 360. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

If you are thinking of getting Crysis (even from Steam) you should look into SecuROM first it uses this DRM. Personally I wont fuck with it even though I really would like to play Crysis on PC. I am pretty new to PC gaming as well so I cant give you much in the way of help other than that. You can Google; "*Game Name* DRM" and it will usually give something to go on.

The best advice I could give to you. Buy games digitally from: Steam, GOG, and HumbleBundle/IndieRoyale/Groupees/everybundleontheforum.
Almost all PC games require activation online so its the same to buy it physically and digitially. Steam and GOG every now and then have terrific sales and the bundles posted on this forums are DRM Free, Steam Codes or Desura Codes (Desura is a client similar to Steam but its games are DRM free and support a lot of indie developers).
Thats it.
