Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

Oh yeah, that Wagon Adventure looks super AND amazing! Looks like I’ll be getting this bundle because an adventure game with wrestlers also sounds like a winner to me.

There is a best of british indie bundle on steam right now, with 6 indie games, including one called gratuitous something or other

Pogue Mahone:

So, probably a dumb question but will Amalur DLC bought on Gamersgate activate on the core game if I own through Origin? I really don’t know if that matters or not.

Answered my own question, the app requires Origin ultimately so it’s all good.

Does anyone know if you get two copies of Frozen Synapse when you buy the British Indie Bundle?

Crater · 2012-08-28T19:38:43.000Z

Taranis, I have an extra copy if you’d like one.

djotefsoup · 2012-08-28T19:48:50.000Z

I already had GSB and it told me I wasn’t getting an extra one so I assume no. I thought it was only some very small set of games (HL2 series, DOW2, couple others?) that could bump an extra license out of a bundle on steam.

I don’t think he was asking because he already had Frozen Synapse, I think he was asking because the game is only sold as a two-pack on Steam normally, so he was curious if it was a two-pack in the bundle as well.

Which I have no idea if it is.

djotefsoup · 2012-08-28T19:56:19.000Z

Oh well, double my bad. I just restarted steam and yep there’s an extra license in my inventory for frozen synapse, the bundle gives you two.

The new IndieGala is also out. It features Ghost Master, Sacred Gold, Achtung Panzer: Operation Star (the sequel to the first Achtung Panzer), Dark Fall: Lost Souls, and Space Empires V, all if you beat the average. There’s some other miscellaneous stuff at the basic level but I would probably not bother if you’re not prepared to beat the average.

Cool, thanks for the info! I just wanted to know so I could gift the extra copy to a friend.

GMGagain has Hitman Absolution for $35.99 pre-order.

Use their codes on the front page!

I’m so bummed GMG is releasing Dishonored on 10/12. I’d love to grab it for $48, but I’m not sure I’m willing to wait 4 days… Really looking forward to it.

Still holding out because I can’t believe they won’t release a physical Collector’s Edition.
I mean the game literally screams for a phat package with art book, soundtrack etc.

It’s Steamworks, so if there is a pre-load, and GMG actually gets it’s keys out on time, you can play the game whenever it releases in your region.

Snagged this pretty much just for Achtung Panzer.

Giaddon · 2012-08-29T10:36:11.000Z

Right, but I think GMG will get the keys out on 10/12.

Steam’s deal today: Homefront for $5.

Vesper · 2012-08-29T11:01:00.000Z

I’m having a hard time deciding whether to preorder Dishonored or XCom as they both come out on the same day.

X-Com.

Though my birthday is in that neighbourhood and my wife has very specific instructions on what I’d like as a gift. :)

Any clue if the multiplayer still have people playing it? It was supposed to be something between Frontlines and CoD.
