Bargain Thread 2013

Origin currently selling (amongst other things) the Battlefield 3 premium upgrade for $14.95. For everyone who just picked up Battlefield 3 for peanuts through the humble sale, it’s a cheap way to get all the expansions.

Steam has Wargame: Airland Battle at 50% off for another 12 hours, which puts it at $20.

This is part of the “super secret Paris sale” mentioned earlier but it deserves it’s own plug. :)

Dishonored is a little over ten bucks at Gamersgate.

Dishonored is a little over ten bucks at Gamersgate.

It’s £5.10 on the UK site, which converts to around €6/$8.

Brutal Legend is $5 on steam until aug 28th. First time I’ve seen it this cheap.

That can’t be right. I have it in my Steam library…checking…ah, Humble Double-Fine Bundle. Ok I paid more than $5, but for a pile of games including this one.

Bioshock Infinite $20 at GMG. Registers on steam.

Also code GMG20-KCDKK-H4TPB may work for another 20% off.

Just want to confirm that the code does work. Thanks stusser!

Fortunately they’re also running a 40% off sale on the Bioshock Infinite season pass.

Unfortunately the code doesn’t work on the season pass.

Thanks for the heads-up. That reached the point where it’s a buy, and I can confirm that the code works (total of $16.00). Key received immediately and activated on Steam.

[Edit] Guess I double confirmed the code. Too slow.

The first bioshock infinite DLC is garbage, but the second and third promise to be pretty cool. Not bad for $14. I guess I’ll bite.

Is Avencast : Rise of the Mage worth $1? That’s what you’ll pay for it along with Post Mortem, Grotesque Tactics : Evil Heroes and Future Wars in the Magic 10 Bundle base level.

Pay $4 and bring the total number of games to the aforementioned Magic 10 when you add: Nikopol : Secrets of the Immortals, Robin Hood : Legend of Sherwood, Vigil : Blood Biterness, Wasteland Angel, Post Apocalyptic Mayhem and Scratches : Director’s Cut. That’s a lot of colons for $4.

All games are Steam keys.

Also at Indie Gala is the Theater of War Bundle which includes:
Pay What You Will - Theater of War
$3.01 or more - ToW 2 : Krusk 1943, ToW 2 : Battle for Caen DLC, Tow 2 : Africa 1943 and ToW2 : Centauro DLC
$5 - ToW 3 : Korea

I’m skipping the DLC because I’ll play the game once and then it’ll be gone and the DLC isn’t around to play right now (if it was available, the price wouldn’t be right compared to the sale price of the base game). I’ll not have it stick around for any additional stories months from now.

stusser · 2013-08-27T14:46:23.000Z

Oh I fully expect the two new story DLCs to amount to maybe 3 hours of total gameplay. But 3 more hours of Bioshock Infinite is worth $14 to me.

Amazon’s deal of the week is the Call of Duty franchise. Since it’s CoD the prices aren’t rock bottom, but if you want to modernize your warfares or blacken your ops they have some reasonably discounted Steam codes.

But the secret best deal is in their indie section where Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is $3.99. I loved this game on my Vita and would heartily recommend it to anyone at that price on Steam (the Vita version is actually only $2 right now on PSN, though, so don’t miss out on that if you have the hardware!). The same developers latest game Guacamelee is also at a slight discount of $13.49 for a Steam code. It, too, is a smashing fun time with even more beautiful art.

Just a bump to let people know tomorrow is the last day for these prices.

I guess GMG caught on. The code isn’t working for me.

The code does indeed work for an additional 20% off of the $20 sale price.

Maybe for the other stuff, but Avencast is hard to recommend. It has one interesting mechanic (the spells you cast are like fighting game combos, similar to magika) but then they went and made the game a long, grindy slog. The only way I can describe it is Avencast would be a fun 5 hour game that they stretched to 20 or more by making each fight with a single monster take about twice as long as it needed to be. It doesn’t lack for content, but I just got tired of it all. For a buck, play it for an hour or two and then you’ve gotten what you need from it.

Dungeon Siege 1 for $1.74 in Steam.

I’m thinking of grabbing it for the Ultima V remake, Lazarus. How good is Lazarus?

Brad_Grenz · 2013-08-28T21:39:12.000Z

Amazon has the Dungeon Siege complete bundle for slightly less than the Steam sale. You still get Steam codes but it’s 20 cents less at $4.79.
