Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

It didn’t work at first when i started by checking greed for trade in, just recognized it as a $0.50 game.

lordkosc · 2012-09-07T18:44:36.000Z

Just pre-ordered, worked fine for me… I had a $2 credit, so I got it for $35.99.

I think one day GMG will pay us to pre-order a game. :)

Maybe you have to use the link on the front page where the deal is posted?

Murbella · 2012-09-07T19:05:33.000Z

Yeah, that is what worked for me.

I was just saying that for me, when i went to my games list to check if i had greed, selected it as trade in, and then added x-com to cart, it would not realize there was some deal. I had to clear my cart and do it in one go with the front page link.

Just a reminder, Sunday (today!) is the last day for this Amazon sale, so act now if you’re interested. All the linked deals here are still active plus a bunch of other stuff:

Brad Grenz:

Amazon’s huge Labor day sale is now live. Goes through 9/9.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3 are down to $15.99. Syndicate is $10. Unlocks in Origin.

The Paradox bundles are back. There are some Ubisoft bundles now. All those 2K bundles are still going. Lots of games to sift through.

Brad Grenz:

Looks like Amazon has added some Ubisoft deals including an Assassin’s Creed pack for $20 and a Prince of Persia pack for $12.50. No Steam on those, of course, and I’m not sure if they’ll unlock in Uplay.

Also noticed a Dead Space dual pack for $8. Should unlock in Origin.

lordkosc:

GMG has price matched Amazon on XCOM Enemy Unknown.

Hell, I paid less than that in 1995 :) .

Any chance Stronghold 3 has been improved to be worth $10? I have no interest in playing a below average game, even a city/castle builder at a bargain price!

DeepT · 2012-09-10T12:13:23.000Z

I am interested in Stronghold 3. Unfortunately every new game is worse than the last. I have been waiting for someone else to buy it and let me know if it was any good. So far, no one has. So if you buy it, please post your impressions here.

Giaddon · 2012-09-10T12:20:45.000Z

I haven’t played it, but RPS’ Wot I Think seemed like a fine description:

Rock Paper Shotgun

Wot I Think: Stronghold 3

Castles are amazing. Even their ruins are mightier than the tallest and most robust of modern buildings, and they have dungeons, which are like cellars but with skeletons instead of a toolbox that I never get around to actually using. Yes, castles...

Haven’t heard of most of those. Any gems?

Giaddon · 2012-09-10T13:18:19.000Z

Dark Scavenger is a quite a thing.

Nightgaunt · 2012-09-10T13:33:32.000Z

Yeah, I haven’t played a single one of those IndieFort games. Definitely been eyeing Survivors of Ragnarok on Desura for awhile. If someone can suggest two other games that are worth a dollar I’ll probably snag them.

3079 is worth a buck. I’ve messed around with it for a few hours.

BrianRubin · 2012-09-10T14:39:48.000Z

Black Market is a fun light spacey trading/combat game, kinda like Dopewars in space with slightly more interactivity.

legowarrior · 2012-09-10T16:49:03.000Z

Having a hard time deciding on the games. Anything that should be avoided?

How’s Telepath?

Fenris99 · 2012-09-10T17:23:59.000Z

Do a short survey on GOG, get Realms of Arkania 1+2 for free.

Greybriar · 2012-09-10T19:43:48.000Z

Thanks, Fenris!
