Bargain Thread 2013

Is the Max Payne DLC worth it for single player or is it all multi player?

@arrendek

Amazon just price matched Steam on Max Payne 3, and you can also use one of your $5 EC credits that were given out over the last month and change. Throw it in your cart and if you’ve bought something from Amazon recently, it should be $10. Be careful if you want it on Steam or not, there is a PC Download option and a Steam option (Online Game Code). I think. Hard to tell.

According to the amazon page,there are two versions, one without steam and one with it.

Re: DLC, I was looking at the list on Steam and I think they’re all multiplayer related. Does anyone know if the rockstar season pass thing just covers multiplayer?

It’s all multiplayer content. There is no singleplayer DLC and afaik won’t be any.

This thread already cost me 10 bucks now, for Max Payne 3. I was happily ignoring amazon’s $5 credit until I saw that.

Thanks again!

…and I just bought TSW, since it looks like new registrations are still getting the ‘early adopter’ content as of now. Got the ‘Initiate Pack’ in my new account now, but I can’t confirm the Issue #5 content until after I download the client (15.4 GB… ouch) and create some characters.

Just verified that my new TSW account got the Issue #5 content for free. Don’t know how long this will last though, since the extra perks were only supposed to be available up through December.

@KiloOhm

I paid $5 for it on steam - great little game. Not a ton of depth but if you like games like Super meat boy you’ll like it.

Thanks! I’m gonna pick up Hotline Miami too.

Thanks again Arrendek for pointing out that Amazon’s $5 coupon would work with Max Payne. I wouldn’t have thought of it.

Thanks, better I don’t spend more money anyway :-)

Hear, hear. I thought I was done with my holiday purchases but luckily this thread has already alerted me to the deals-so-good-I’d-be-crazy-not-to-add-them-to-my-backlog of Hotline Miami and Max Payne. I thought those coupons were going to go to waste, and yet here we are!

[Papageno]

Yeah, I used my Amazon $5 credit on Hotline Miami. Cool, but freaking HARD.

Yeah I think I will get it also, the DLC for the game is multiplayer only and I’ve heard the community was dead so no loss there.

I just sort of completed it. Like other precise games once you meld with the controls it’s much easier.

I got civ 5 complete with gods and kings, civ 4 everything and stronghold collection for $15 after $5 coupon. It’s the thq strategy pack. What an awesome deal.

Risen 2 is $7.50 on GamersGate now, quite a good price for it.

Hey, the 2012 thread had exactly 5200 posts, so 100 a week. Very nice. Very pretty-like.

This may be an error on Gamersgate part but Settlers 7 Deluxe Gold Edition is now on sale at $5.84.

Still not low enough for me to put up with the always-online DRM of the game. :(

I’m on the first level where you run into a dog. I don’t think I’ll ever beat that one.

The $5 vouchers should now be active on Amazon downloads for anyone that earned them during the sales this fall and winter. Right now the pickings are a bit slim, with the best deals being Mass Effect 3 for $10 after coupon (or $15 for the Collector’s Edition, or $25 for the Trilogy), and $13 for Dark Souls. The Mass Effects unlock on Origin and Dark Souls on Steam. I just noticed The Secret World is also $13 after coupon as well. I think that’s the cheapest it has been, and you don’t need a subscription for it anymore.

The full list of qualifying games is here. Worth keeping an eye on all month since the vouchers will be good until Jan 31st and Amazon may do more sales and/or price match deals on Steam or elsewhere. Last year that lead to some free games after coupon.

The above deals are still good, but there are a couple new items and prices of interest. XCOM is now $20 after coupon. Both Spec Ops: The Line and Darkness 2 are $2.50 with the voucher. Those all unlock on Steam. Another I missed is the Kingdoms of Amalur Complete for $10 after coupon. That unlocks on Origin.

Nice overview thanks :)
NBA 2k13 has also been added. $9.99 after the rebate.

Quite the deal.

[Canuck]

It says $80 for me. How much was it before?
