If it only were that easy, the issue is the billing address mismatch, my CC company blocked my last card when I tried bypassing stuff. It's not good to have a blocked CC at the end of the year.

Amazon doesn't check the address on the credit card at all. They are the most lax about this sort of thing among all the shops. Well them and Nuuvem.

Seriously a shit ton of people on Reddit Game Deals, including other Brazilians, buy from them all the time but whatever do what you want.

Dark Void (which would also be an awesome name for a stripper) is $2 on GMG. No Capsule. Yes Steam. Is it worth that price? I've read it's meh.
Click to expand...
It was $1.24 on GMG a while back. It might have been a glitch though and sold out fairly quickly.

I have the game, but have never played it.

Sniper Elite v2 is at it's record low on GMG w/ total of 80% due to coupon.  $6 is what I paid.  Been wanting to try one of these, but the original is a touch dated for me taste. 

 
A lot of random people are sending trade requests for my holiday cards.

Please mention your CAG username in the message box. I don't want to block people. :(

Hey look, the annual terrible non-game software vote is here! I vote for Fusion because I like the color blue. 

That being said, I think I'll finally pick up shadow warrior, and maybe even age of mythology despite owning it on disk. 

 
'dese deals!  A whopping 35% off eternal Early Access scam Project Zomboid (muh computer was stolen, can't finish development)!  33% off crappy phone game Herp Nerps at Derpies 2!  Antiquated perennials Portal 2 and SPORE!  Oh, Grim Dawn, if only they still allowed cross region trading -- $4ish Russian.  Oh well.  Guess the devs will be at the soup kitchen on Christmas.

3 out of 3 games I voted for came in last.

Luckily, the shit they are having us vote on today aren't even games and thus don't really care about.

Anyone going into a Steam sale with any expectations after spending years here should really stop.  Wait for glitches and/or snoop the other sites.  I'm only hoping for a 75% off Dynasty Warriors 8 still.

They actually check, for 2K/Rockstar games. I guess other publishers apart from 2K/Rockstar and Derp Silver haven't taken notice yet. (Derp Silver games from US are region locked to not activate in Europe, Asia/Australia is fine thought)

 
Dat software...

People still benchmark their hardware?

Fuse is hot garbage. (You don't actually get any useful software with it, you need to pay extra to do any of the cool advertised stuff, making it like a freemium shitty shit that you have to buy and then pay a bunch extra to use.

Stay far away from Fuse.

And that's why I voted for Clickteam Fusion... because I thoughtfully don't care. :beer:

The tears of disappointment are the best part of the sale though.
 
Hmm, surprisingly I don't own Bulletstorm on Steam. So my question to those who do, does the inclusion of GFWL mess this game up? Is it at all playable (not that I really play games that I buy)?

Yeah, I debated it for a good long while before letting it expire... Expecting a complete bundle and it would be pushing what my ancient video card can do. (The one I linked does have Blackgate in it... Which is sort of cool. I want it even though I hear its not that great.)

Does anyone else find this new habit of "HD Remake+" versions coming to PC?  The two metro games re-polished seems like something that'd have been a patch or mod just a few years ago.

Was this before the lockdown or do you have some SECRET METHOD?!?!? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!
Click to expand...
Yes, before lock-down. I think 3 keys for Lichdom and 1 key for Hack'n'Slash+Spacebase.

I wish I didn't skip fall sale, because I was too lazy to contact traders...

There's a secret method that works for fairly small number of games.

Extra copies from 4-packs aren't locked.

That craft the world game looks cool and age of mythology is tempting.
Click to expand...
yea, it does look interesting, but not for 50%, especially when its been cheaper on steam before anyway

thats mythology average price, so unless you want to play it now, may as well wait, as you can see from the rest of the skybox games (AoE2 and RON) it will drop to 5 or less and probably soon

My GTX 260 ran Batman AA & AC just fine. (AC in DX9, because DX11 is broken in that game.)

Metro 2033 supposedly gets some improvements in that, Last Light doesn't really.

As a consumer - it's an annoying trend.

From a business perspective - good way to make more $ off old-products and revamping them. ;)

The problem is - when they re-balance a game, do all kinds of things to them, make more changes it, toss it maybe on a newer engine, revamp the hell out of an engine, use newer better quality textures, or whatever else they do to it - it's likely going to be a major overhaul. So, basically they should add the new version as a new entry to Steam - b/c God knows when they do tinker like that, how much they overhaul. And Lord knows how many old-mods the overhauled-version could break, as well.

I mean, hell - many of us on PC were happy w/ GTA: SA before the HD overhaul. It's great that Rockstar was kind enough to just flat-out give us the HD overhaul (which is what they should do for owners of old versions) - but they should've just added the GTA: SA Overhaul as a new entry on Steam.

I find this trend very annoying, yes. While I'm fine w/ this on MUCH older games and them changing for it on those when they overhaul a lot of stuff, this new trend to do it on very recent-games (within last few years) is annoying.

I think this is being done a lot w/ "hot" games that are also on older-consoles (like X360 + PS3), so they decide to do re-release it on XB1 + PS4; and since many of these are also on PC, they figure they better release PC version here too. Problem is - we often have to re-buy this crap, instead of them just granting old-versions owner for free the new-version.

But, I'd rather it be here than not. I can always catch it later on a sale, glitch, or whatever - if I really want or need the overhauled edition.

EDIT:

I don't own Metro Last Light's DLC's - so for me, Metro LL Redux would be worthwhile for me to namely get the DLC's....If it even hits cheap, of course. ;)

But, yeah - IIRC, they moved Metro 2033 over to the LL Engine when they did Metro 2033 Redux + rebalanced the game a bit to make it easier to also play more stealth-like.

Regardless - those 2 Metro Redux needs to get cheaper, for me to jump in.

Questions for you Dark Souls II players out there. How is the DLC integration? Is it OK to start with just the base game or would you recommend having the DLC from the beginning? I'm not sure if I want to wait for SotFS to release or just pick up the SP if/when it goes on sale. The DX11 update doesn't matter much to me, but if the accompanying patch updates enough significant issues, then I might just wait.
Click to expand...
If you've waited this long, you might as well keep waiting. While not integral, the dlc is excellent. Additionally, there's a fourth dlc pack coming out that will be included with SotFS. I think it's worth waiting for it.

Also the DX11 update might be worth waiting for. I'm hoping they address not only graphics, but maybe return to the lighting dynamics they initially promised.

 
MysterD said:
Are there any new D2D coupons floating around?

Not that I need it, since I own SR4 base-game already.

Us SR4 base-game owners likely only need the GOTC Upgrade Pack that has been $2.49 before, so hopefully that goes on sale at that price again.
Click to expand...
I checked, Game of the Century includes the base game + 29 DLCs, and the upgrade is the 29 DLCs alone.

Yea, I'm guilty of several HD remakes on my PS3 because of selling off the PS2 many moons ago. But I usually only bought them at $20 or below meaning each game was $10 or less. It's more seeing those come to PC and not being, at most, a $5 upgrade for those of us who've already paid before. Buying the game again is the hard part.
