Battlefield 4 preorder on GMG for $48 when you use this code: TAREM-BF4NA-PROMO. You get the key right away so you can preload the game. And use paypal to avoid any bank fees. ;)

I know I will get Saints Row IV at some point, but I’m going to be strong and wait until it is really cheap. I’ve got so many to play already, SR III was definitely my favorite crazy action packed open world game. Never really liked Just Cause or GTA, but SR III was a blast. SR IV is so tempting, but not at this time. OK Tim James, come by and give me some strength to resist!

I’ll stand with you, Backlog Brother. 75% off or GTFO!

If you enjoyed SR3 that much you will most likely get far, far more than $25 out of SRIV.

I don’t doubt that if I paid $25 for SRIV I would be content from an entertainment per dollar standpoint. If I didn’t have 100+ games I’ve bought and never played, I’d be more inclined to bite. In fact I wish I could sell all the games I bought, rebuy the ones I really want to play and then just buy the high quality ones when they go on sale at a good price, like SR IV is now. I wish I never bought a lot of the stuff I did, but what can I do other than try to be better now?

malkav11 · 2013-10-26T20:36:02.000Z

What I’m saying is you will probably enjoy SRIV more than those other games you own right now.

robc04 · 2013-10-26T20:37:19.000Z

Agreed

SRIV is £40 in the uk, for a pc only game that is expensive, in fact only CoD is at that price point. Most start at £30 and pre order at £20. SO even at half price it’s still £20 which is a bit too much for me.

KaoFloppy · 2013-10-27T06:24:48.000Z

robc04: You can set a budget for, say, $20 of games per month, buy SR4 now, blowing your budget for Nov & a bit of December, and then save up money for the xmas steam sale. (Yes I know it’s October still, but I’m sure you’ve already spent more than $20 this month.)

Looking at that page made me realize there are a lot of zombie horde-mode games.

robc04 · 2013-10-29T10:46:06.000Z

Even though it was very unlikely, I was hoping State of Decay would be on the Halloween sale list.

Wooo typing of the dead. I’m trying to teach my kids to type. My 8 yr old isn’t bad and is sitting at 40 wpm. My 11 yr old though isn’t as motivated and is only at 25-30 wpm. Maybe this will help.

Let me know what you think of it. May be too scary or violent for my 9 yr old.
