Current Deals, sorted by discount.

If it's a glitch, it's not a good one. It was in Indie Gala June which could be bought for $1.70 from CheapLikeAFox.

Ahh, I thought it looked vaguely familiar... and I really should get around to redeeming my keys from that one.

Edit: Random Notables (not on daily)

NKPro Racing $6.80 66% ($5.44 for me)... this is the cheapest I've seen it. I've read good things about it from sim racing sites.

Mass Effect Trilogy - $20 (it's been this price before, $16 AC on GF)

 

[Idiotekque]

Idiot did get a free t-shirt from Funcom, his opinion is tainted.

Not really, still haven't gotten it or heard anything about it. I felt like a douche asking Tony what was up, and being the nice dude he is he immediately emailed the EA guy and asked, at which point the EA guy said he'd "Check on it" or something. That was a week or two ago.

Not anymore, he ran out.

 

[asheskitty]

Glitch? $0.45 http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SSQUAD/survivor-squad

75% off $1.80 list... it's $9 on Desura.

Yep it was a glitch, it's now $2.25, 75% off $9 list.

 

[Spiricore]

All this talk about TSW has made me want to play it. I'm now convinced that you lot all secretly work for Funcom.

Seriously. I made a joke about ashes mentioning it on the forums at least once a day, and she has yet to let me down. If they had a free trial or guest pass I would give it another whirl, but until then I'm not shelling out any amount of cash for a game I didn't like at all the first time I tried it (beta).

MysterD didn't like the beta much either. Look at him now...

I think any members can give out guest passes. I'll have to remember to send you one tomorrow.

Will be waiting for better glitches...

 

[The End]

You know, with only 4 deals a day, this sale is really kinda pathetic.

 

[PenguinJim]

Doesn't it depend on what those deals are?

 

[spoderman]

You know, with only 4 deals a day, this sale is really kinda pathetic.

Yeah, there need to be like 8 deals a day to maximize possibilities of price glitches.

 

[Pheace]

Doesn't it depend on what those deals are?

Quite true!

So let's see.... Survivor Squad ... was in a bundle recently. Sword of The Stars II, game known for failing massively on release. Dead Island GOTY .... not even Riptide? Anomaly 2, no idea how good that one is.

Can't say that made me feel any better about only 4 daily deals

 

[PenguinJim]

It took me a while to see what your mistake was, Pheace, but I got there! This isn't a one-day sale! 

It shouldn't matter if it's four dailies or one daily or four hundred dailies - the number of sale items is irrelevant. All we need is for two or three great games to get pioneering new prices (ideally without depending on glitches, but I'll take what I can get). It's unlikely I'll buy more than two or three games across all the sales this summer, but when I do get them, the number of other games that happened to be on sale at the same time (or the day before or after) won't matter to me at all.

What DOES matter to me is seeing that Jagged Alliance: BiA at $20 is selling nearly as well as the game + all the DLC for $12! NO! DON'T BUY THE GAME BY ITSELF! THAT'S IGNORANT, YOU'RE BEING IGNORANT! 

 

[Syntax Error]

You know, with only 4 deals a day, this sale is really kinda pathetic.

I could half defend yesterdays deals: DMC was as cheap as I've seen it if you have/used the 20% & UK site and I haven't seen anyone else putting Metro LL on sale at all except for the Amazon one-day. But today's sales are just ass.

 

[hal]

Yep it was a glitch, it's now $2.25, 75% off $9 list.

Good catch. I suppose it's time for me to stay up again until 3:00 am for the semi-annual GlitchGate sale.

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

{Shrug}

That's what I would expect a shill to say.

Also, the sale has a long long time to go so there will likely be some other good deals to be had.

 

[Syntax Error]

That's what we thought about the GMG sale!

 

[madcyantist]

Anyone else having trouble logging into GG?

 

[awestover89]

Hey, I had a couple purchases I was happy with from the GMG sale. Nothing spectacular, but I didn't leave empty handed.

 

[Idiotekque]

I think SotS 2 was fraught with bugs that have (mostly) been fixed by now. Such is true of many, many games.

That said, SotS 1 and 2 were in the same bundle as Survivor Squad. GG is really dropping the ball lately.

 

[MysterD]

MysterD didn't like the beta much either. Look at him now...

I think any members can give out guest passes. I'll have to remember to send you one tomorrow.

I was always fond of the game's storytelling, excellent voice-acting & game-world - from the Beta to the Current Version.

My big problem w/ TSW Beta was performances issues in DX11 Mode (I had to run it in DX9 Mode then); wasn't much into zombies (after just finishing Dead Island + Ryder White DLC); the quests I ran into weren't that varied (always seemed like Kill X, Find X, Find Locations, etc); and especially the combat.

Now, since I got the TSW game recently - totally different ballpark.

I found that toggle for Target Mode (look in the game controls for that - this mode is for switching into a mouselook/aiming mode like you'd get in a shooter), this is all MUCH better for me.

Always able to switch b/t Target Mode and Cursors Mode (like Arx Fatalis did) is awesome, IMHO.

Oh, I also like that I can resize Inventory and permanently PIN that and my Mini-Hotbar (for Items) onto the screen somewhere at all times, as well. I don't have to Hotbar many things - I keep my Inventory ultra-small and got it pinned - and can flip to cursor mode to use an item right off of that no problem. Awesome.

Of course, game runs fine these days in DX11 mode (not maxed, but somewhere in the middle - and it looks damn good). Animations were never this game's strong suit - but the character models and game-world itself looks really good.

And I've ran into all kinds of assortments quests - from stealth type of quests to typical ARPG stuff.

Yeah, this is some good stuff. I seem to bang-out about 1-3 hours per day on this game. Got around 19 hours total w/ it, so far. I didn't play any yesterday.

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

Wartune, aye?

"Your body is a party, let's get it started"

I was waiting for the ad to pop up again, but Wartune girl clearly says "Your body is my party, let's get it started." Much more enticing and misleading.

Ahh, MY party. Much more enticing, my bad.

Yep, that's how I remembered it too. Reminds me of almost every Facebook game ad I've ever seen.

Well if my body is just A party, anybody could be invited. If its HER party then it's a private affair!

Yep, that's how I remembered it too. Reminds me of almost every Facebook game ad I've ever seen.

Candy Crush Saga plasters boobs and ass all over my FB telling me they've got something sweet waiting for me.

That game makes me want to dive right in. Maybe it will be in the Indie Chick Gamer bundle.

 

[Idiotekque]

I'm concerned about where her hands are.

 

[Drabelincoln]

Uhmmm she's making a sandwich like any good woman would be doing

 

[Idiotekque]

(That's true, I do.)

(MAKE LOVE against the evils with her NOW!)

(Where's my damn orgy already?)

(Just her? Sorry, homie don't roll with just one sexy wizard.)

(Note: The game isn't AO.)

(You're invited to the party in my pants.)

And this even more amusing, I'd say.

[Frithsblessing]

Anyone with the 20% discount willing to help a CAG save $1 on Dead Island GotY?

Hooked up.

 

[asheskitty]

Swollen breasts, exhausted look on her face, easy access top... she's breastfeeding.

 

[asheskitty]

Wow the new set of daily really makes me want to cry.

 

[Jon7]

Wow the new set of daily really makes me want to cry.

Wow you were not exaggerating...that has to be the worst set of daily deals ever.

 

[spoderman]

How can you guys resist Circus Empire?

 

[Stronghammer]

There is a small amount of time between them switching out the daily deals and putting up the new ones, so random games tend to pop up. I'm not interested in any of todays deals, but they are better than "Freakout, Circus Empire" etc at least.

 

[stonecold111]

Daily Deals Changed

Daily Deals Changed

33 minutes & 4 posts late! Do you even read posts before you?

 

[stonecold111]

33 minutes & 4 posts late! Do you even read posts before you?

I mean the real daily deals!

Freakout, Circus Empire are all switched out to Crusader Kings II Collection,Dark Messiah Might & Magic,A New Beginning - Final Cut, Sine Mora

You're 33 minutes too early. Did you even check the section again before replying?

 

[asheskitty]

I mean Freakout, Circus Empire are all switched out

They all fliped immediately after midnight PDT.. Spoder even commented specifically about Circus Empire.

Edit: Weird.. never seen GG do that before.

Edit2: 0/5 marks for your communication skills.

 

[Idiotekque]

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

 

[asheskitty]

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

Where?

No, I won't

Fight for the stupid daily deal glitch?

What glitch? There was no price glitch.

I can just feel the anxiety in that post at the thought that you might have missed a glitch

I'd rather have Circus Empire than a GG-only CK2 collection for $20.

How lazy are the GG guys that the extent of their pull with Paradox Interactive is a $20 CK2 bundle?

 

[warreni]

(Note: The game isn't AO.)

I remember reading something a while ago about ESRB pointing out that they do not rate browser games, specifically as a response to this or something similar. I get that guys are horny by nature but, come on, internet, this is just plain silly.

Wasn't GG originally started by the Paradox people?

 

[warreni]

Wasn't GG originally started by the Paradox people?

From the wiki:

GamersGate was formerly operated by Paradox Interactive. It was started with the intention of providing cheap distribution of their games to countries that did not offer them in physical retail stores. GamersGate commenced trial operations in April 2006 and officially launched (entitled "Gamer's Gate") on November 20, 2006. In 2008, after other publishers requested that GamersGate distribute their games as well, Paradox decided to separate GamersGate into its own company.

^_^ I was just setting the record straight, otherwise we're get posts going "What glitch did I miss?" Sloppy and reckless use of the word glitch, which 'round these parts means price glitch. The other poster clearly isn't familiar with watching GG update... they do it by hand in real time... you can watch the games change one-by-one.

They'll still be seeing most of me. Be missing a couple inches at most.

 

[Estbarul]

Does deals happen again in the end of the sale? I'm thinking of buying sine mora but maybe another better deal comes out later.. and if not I could buy it in the last day.
