Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

Brad Grenz:

The big 7 game Square-Enix pack for $10 teased earlier is now live.

Includes:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition plus Missing Link DLC
Just Cause 1&2
Quantum Conundrum
Hitman: Blood Money
Supreme Commander II
The Last Remnant

All unlock on Steam.

Pack also gets you $5 off a preorder of Hitman: Absolution, so if you were gonna buy that it’s an even better deal.

Whelp, I hope anyone who wanted this got in early. It spent a lot of Sunday and Monday going up and down due to issues getting enough Steam keys, and Amazon finally had to kill it. Deal was supposed to last all week but it was so popular they couldn’t keep up with demand.

They do have Aliens vs Predator for $3.74 right now. It’s the 2010 game, not the original, and it unlocks on Steam.

The Bard’s Tale is 75% off on Steam

Includes the original trilogy now too, according to inXile’s press release. Haven’t figured out how to access it yet

Seems like it should just appear in your library - that’s how it’s always happened for me when non-catalog games are included.

The Indie Royale Bundle have To the Moon, Oil Rush, Blackwell Deception, AVSEQ, and Reprisal, all Steam keys except the last.

Yeah, I see the new one, but not the originals in my library.

That’s an interesting bundle, bought it & a few gifts for people. Time to see what everyone seems to love about TTM. :)

They’re launched from within the new version.

The Humble Bundle book thing just added 5 PDFs to the mix that I got for free because I already bought it. Seriously, my $25 has gone ridiculously far on this thing…

Magic for Beginners is, for serious, one of the best short story collections of the last decade. It will always be worth more than you pay for it.

Wow, that’s high praise. I’ve never been impressed with short stories overall but there have been some notable exceptions. One author I found to be incredible at writing short stories is Connie Willis. Both of her early short story collections had some amazing stories that have always stuck with me. Hopefully Magic for beginners will be of the same caliber.

Wow, just picked up that Indy Royale bundle; thanks for the heads up. I got it just for To the Moon, which I discovered last week, and then after purchasing found out I also got a Populous-like game in the bunch! Bonus!

Kind of annoyed that the Humble Book Bundle adds some things I’m interested in, but only at the beat the average price which is high enough that I’ll be giving it a miss.

WarrenM · 2012-10-16T14:42:06.000Z

… The average is $13.

Feh, $12.99 maybe, but $13? Fuck no.

HB has always been like that. They usually give whatever they add to all customers, but new ones only get them if they beat the average. Buy early if you might be interested, but not enough to BTA.

And?

Usually what I do if there’s anything that interests me, but this bundle was a pass until they added the xkcd book for me.

Warlock is five stupid dollars on Gamefly. Steamworks.

Thank you. I missed the sale on Steam. It’s great how I was able to download it using steam.
