Fanatical Thread

Fanatical sent out emails today with 20% off coupons that work on anything aside from Total War Warhammer 2 and preorders. Yes, that means they work on star deals and bundles.

PS: If you didn't get one, that means you've been naughty this year

I played the first Homefront after finished Homefront: Revolution. It's your pretty typical on rails FPS. I mean it wasn't as horrible as people say, but it's certainly not good. It's short though and I got a small sense of satisfaction at the end.
Homefront 1 is nowhere as good as Homefront: The Rev, if you ask me.

Homefront 1 takes too long to get going...and by the time it really gets going, which is in the last 1/3rd or so of the game, the game pretty much then ends...like it does. Homefront 1 was a really nice looking game technically when it came out and unfortunately didn't run that hot or well TBH, but hopefully by now it runs well on most hardware.

Homefront: The Rev, even despite its issues w/ character writing-off and not being that deep on storytelling & character development - there's just plenty to do and feels much more fleshed-out than the original Homefront.

serious? I guess I am on the naughty list despite buying stuff from Fanactical/Bundle Stars. Better luck next time.

 
It was all a test. They changed their named to Fanatical to see what morans would still buy from them. Those that didn't, they sent coupons to

Me too (on the Fanatical naughty list).

I guess that's what I get from still buying Bundles and games from them, on and off.

Looks like the coupon is for those who ain't bought stuff from them much of late, according to Reddit from the Prey 2017 sale thread:

EDIT:

How the hell did I miss the Spotlight Bundle 3? Regardless, looks like that's worth a buy at $2.49 (before any vouchers applied such as WINTER10).

WINTER10 doesn't work on the Spotlight or Mystic bundles.

 
Fanatical has a fanatical devotion to precision:

Is it sad that's one of the only halfway decent bundles during bundlefest? The Talisman ones are aight too. The gameplay in those is a bit antiquated, but they're still fun enough. There are some cheap bundles with likely poop games, but they're cheap poop at least!

I'd jump on the Talisman bundle, but there are 3? more DLCs coming out (+RNG of new chars) before it's "over", so I'll just wait a year and get the same bundle from Maniacal(formerly Fanatical, formerly BundleSharts) a year from now that includes all the DLC.

 
How were you able to get the discount code to work? When I try it's keeps saying bundle excluded.
It won't work. try to check out and it kicks the discount out. I had a discount that apparently expired in January that was still showing until I actually tried to buy something.

Sweet, knowing I didn't get one saves me money. Was thinking about buying a few bundles from them. Since I know there is a coupon they didn't bother to send me I won't. Money saved.

Lol. Yesterday, they ran a 10 for $1 bundle. The discount didn't appear initially, and my cart was $130 worth of bundle fodder. I checked again about 30 minutes later to find the discount had applied, but they had already run out of The Anthem keys in just under 2 hours. I checked my cart today, and 3 more of the desired games were out of stock. Also checked Twitter, they never responded to my tweets asking if they would restock.

The moral is that you need a healthy stock of game and bundle keys to actually fulfill orders if you want to advertise "never miss a deal again."

Looks like screwed up that bundle extra good, considering it was supposed to run for over a week, yet somehow ends up pulled within two days.

 
I know this isn't a well kept up thread, but I did like the newer Must Play Bundle 3 they put up. $3.99 for it. I was waiting for Alwa's Awakening to be bundled, and 1775: Rebellion is a board game PC interpretation, and I usually like those.

Waiting for your review as it is a MUST PLAY bundle, so you played them all rite? Or did Fanatical play you?

Very decent Killer Bundle X part of the usual Fanatical Bundlefest. Hopefully these bundles are better than the last fest.

$4.99 for all of the games below, supposedly all new to bundle:

Forward to the Sky

Hive Jump

ICY: Frostbite Edition
PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist

The Signal From Tölva
The Swindle
The Technomancer

Think of the Children
UNLOVED
Zenith
Easy no-brainer. Wanted it for Technomancer mostly...

...but The Signal from Tolva, Zenith, Unloved, ICY: Frostbite and Swindle look also interesting.

 
ICY: Frostbite Edition looks interesting.  The backtracking complaints scared me off of The Technomancer, though.  Not really seeing anything else that would jump to the front of my backlog.

 
2 repeats but lots of new stuff to bundle plus I believe 2 things from the wish list equals a purchase. Little more expensive than the usual bundles, but stuff is more interesting.

 
Three of these are Chinese games, and I'm not convinced Soul Saber 2 isn't secretly Korean, judging by those boob physics; and at least a couple are American. This is a very multicultural bento.
 
Ugh, I forgot to pick up the KIller Bundle XI. If anyone by any chance has an extra copy of the bundle, I'm looking to buy. (Or, Forward to the Sky and The Swindle particularly).
