Bargain Thread 2013

Is there any way to change your region/currency settings on GreenManGaming? They have a couple of good deals at the moment, but GMG suck at exchange rates. For example, Batman Arkham Asylum & City for £6 with the 20% code. In reality this works out at €7.20 euro but is €10 on GMG. Doesn’t sound like much of a difference, but when you’re buying a good few games it adds up. I’d buy in Sterling if I could, but can’t find a way to change :(

Just LH.

That’s why LH is more expensive the FE.

Is that beacuse LH contains the original FE campaign, or because LH is a vast improvement over FE making it silly to buy & play FE at all?

The second one.

You don’t want to play the campaign.

If you purchased FE you can get LH for 4.99 directly from stardock. Not sure if this is a limited sale…but it’s 5.00 cheaper than the steam sale

I decided to pick up the DLC for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes since they’re on sale. They aren’t really anything I care about, but I figured I’ve gotten three(!) games out of Stardock for my initial Elemental preorder, so I may as well give Stardock something for LH.

Shiny loot has a salegoing on for “Turn-based RPGs”. JA2:Wildfire and the Grotesque Tactics games are on that list.

Some bonus games have been unlocked over at Groupeesland.

1C bundle
Buying it for $1 will also get you: AIM Racing (soon, next bonus), Dawn of Magic 2, Death to Spies (both games in the series), Fairytale, Freight Tycoon, Men of War Red Tide, Reign, Streets of Moscow, XIII Century.

Doujin bundle
Buying it for 75 cents will also get you: Acceleration of Suguri X-Edition (soon, next bonus), eXceed first (buggy on my system, and the options screen doesn’t seem to actually change the options), Princess Edge Dragonstone (a weird beat-stuff-up game), Suguri (soon, next bonus). This bundle is also “free” right now if you pick either of the eXceed games and sell the cards.

Indiegala has bonuses as well:
Darkest Hour, Naval War Arctic Circle, Roaming Fortress, Showdown Effect (again…)

Giaddon · 2013-10-20T06:51:38.000Z

Guild Wars 2 is $30 today.

Nightgaunt · 2013-10-20T08:45:05.000Z

IndieGameStand have Sky Nations for pay-what-you-want. It looks like a multiplayer Minecraftlike with a focus on building skyships. It’s in alpha. Anyone have any experience with it?

What? Wasn’t it 20?

Gigglemoo:

eXceed first

Avoid; the original eXceed is trash, even without the following games in the series to compare it to.

The Suguri games are nice, though, and the rest of the bundle is still excellent.

Moment of Truth is very good, though very hard.

Bandersnatch · 2013-10-21T22:47:40.000Z

I quite liked Moment of Truth too, though the difficulty is all over the place. The first mission is a total beast compared to others in the game, it could have easily been the last level. Ack, that reminds me, I totally forgot about Death to Spies 3!!

Looks like the publisher dropped them and they had a failed indiegogo campaign. Well, that sucks.

Theater of War series any good?

Kildar:

Theater of War series any good?

I’ve only played Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943, and my reaction is based on that. My response was along these lines:

Ooh, this seems nice, I like the look, I like the general design…
Hmm, there seems to be a bug in the second mission preventing me from making any progress…
Meh.

YMMV.

KaoFloppy · 2013-10-22T10:36:21.000Z

Steam deal of the day is Guardians of Middle-earth $9.99 -50%. 5 v 5 MOBA, in case you didn’t know. I didn’t. None of the DLCs are on sale.

Steam midweek deal is Sir, You Are Being Hunted $9.99 -50%. Early access game. “Procedurally generated British horror”. I might just put this on my wishlist.
