I managed to get Rift from GMG for $0.00. Regretting it as it’s a pretty boring WoW clone.

Keep going with it, it has a cool class customisation system and dynamic massive PVE invasions.

Tried two different PCs with Origin and Paypal. No popup asking for my paypal account info; no purchase. I hope someone lets me know if you’re successful before the promotion is over Monday.

Not sure what you mean but I’ve been playing my copy of Bulletstorm…

Moggraider · 2011-10-23T05:57:09.000Z

Yeah, I know you were successful, but I’m wondering if someone after me is successful.

Steam has a super super great(!) deal on older gta titles this weekend:

With an extra special surprise for those who bother to scroll down the page:

Regional pricing snafu? Otherwise this seems purely designed to create pissed off customers amongst those who miss the better deal.

I think so. In the US, the base price of the complete pack is 49.99, while the classics pack is 29.99.

Did you try using a different browser or disabling an extension/add-on or something?

Here’s hoping your future posts have a much higher signal to asshole ratio than this one does.

Also, Steam’s daily deal for October 23 is Virtua Tennis 4 for $10.20 (66% off).

Giaddon · 2011-10-23T11:23:01.000Z

Amazon is selling Dead Island (digital) for $30. Steamworks, so you can just plug in the code Amazon gives you. US only.

Mr_Bismarck · 2011-10-24T06:44:46.000Z

You still have three hours to get Virtua Tennis 4 on Steam for $10.20.

I’d rather watch boats rust than watch real tennis, but I do like a nice video game of grass pong. (See also : Golf.)

Had a swing of the bat and it seems to be decent enough. Although I’m not sure I was ready to see Andy Murray coated with quite so much digital sweat.

Giaddon · 2011-10-24T09:35:59.000Z

Gamersgate has some scary games (Amnesia, Dead Space, FEAR, etc.) on sale right now! One of those is the phenomenal and almost totally unknown Dracula 3: Path of the Dragon, which is $8. (Mystlike adventure game).

Sounds like a good Halloween themed deal.

Creole_Ned · 2011-10-24T14:35:20.000Z

Slackers!

The October 24th Steam Daily Deal is all the Myst you can eat for $9.99 (50% off). It also includes a couple of other Cyan games like Manhole and Cosmic Osmo.

Giaddon · 2011-10-24T14:37:13.000Z

It has less than half the Myst games. LAME

Giaddon:

As far as I can tell it has exactly half the Myst games: 1, 2, and Uru. III isn’t a Cyan game (and isn’t on Steam), IV and V aren’t on Steam.

Giaddon · 2011-10-24T17:24:43.000Z

True story: I don’t count Uru as a Myst game.

Royal_Fool · 2011-10-24T17:33:30.000Z

I think Ubisoft holds the publishing rights to the other three Myst games, and is only selling them through Ubi.com.

You can not count it all you want, but Cyan sure seems to think it is.
