Game Deals Thread

Renzo

The game seems to run really well on my system. It's a pretty nice-looking game, too. It has a clean art style, but it doesn't look sparse. The cutscene animations are really nice, but I expected that from the same crew who made Yakuza.

I've been curious about that game, but with the dissolution of that studio, who is getting the money? EA?

Yay just beat Binary Domain, it was a good game!

The plot takes a maddening turn at the end though

Spoiler:

the hybrids are no different than genetically engineered people born invitro, they weren't robots, they were created from modified human DNA from a single donor

It's piss poor writing that nobody made this argument: genetic engineering is illegal, but if you find a scientist genetically engineered a bunch of babies the law doesn't have you go out and murder the babies. They were just regular people, people calling them "Scrap heads" with a straight face is retarded.

I could see maybe *detaining* them, or even sterilizing them, but murdering them served no purpose other than to force the player to be on opposite sides from the government. Regardless, the decision wouldn't be made by executive order and they wouldn't send guys to go murder them in their homes, jobs, and schools, they would arrest and execute them (which is retarded in its own right, since they pose no threat, beyond them reproducing and subtly changing the human genome over generations)

Its Japanese-ness shines through, still well worth $10

I'll probably pick up Syndicate once it gets < 10 bucks. I enjoy Starbreeze Studio's games,

Do @gamer coupons work online? I'll be far away from a Best Buy during that week.

Shady3011

Coupons don't work online, but they should be good for at least a month.

Brainiac 8

Best Buy is having a B2G1 deal starting today online.

Lawndart

The Amazon deal on Syndicate, as well as the discounted Paradox and Square/Enix packs, seems to be over.

Ah. A cheap way to get the PC Darksiders and Metro 2033. Nice.

Kind of an odd item, but the PSPGo used dropped to 69.99 at Gamestop. I actually picked one up - traded in a few things for it, including my old 8gb 3rd gen nano that was starting to lose the longevity of its charges. Super nice, it looked brand new, had all the instructions, packaging, etc. I would have thought it was a gutted new one if it wasn't for having 4 games already installed. I'm going to use it just as an mp3/media player and some stuff that shall not be named. At some point I'll grab the cradle to use it with a tv, synch up a dual shock and have a mini console.

initiatefailure

i want that for ps1 games on the go but will not pay $200 for one

Lindsey Lohan

For me it was that my Nano was losing it's charge too quickly leaving me without a decent media player aside from my phone. I couldn't really argue with 16gb of storage for the price and the accessories are all stupidly cheap now too (I picked up a component cable today). Combined with already having a few PSOne games in my account from my PSN Plus subscription it all just made sense to try it for awhile.

The only thing I don't like is the lack of Netflix, otherwise it's a pretty neat little device and the size is perfect for how I want to use it.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is only 19.99 w/ free shipping @ NewEgg. No promo code needed.

One drawback to this deal is that I would rather have hard copies of those games.

really? Yay!

Actually, instead of the summer sale, they decided to give me an error:

"Sorry

The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later."

So, really, Boo!

Is there a place to watch Amazon's sales as they try to compete with steam?

Their sale page these days is dumb and I'm not sure what the fuck I'm looking for.

I just want to be able to double check with Amazon against steam prices because I have a lot of giftcard money on amazon.

Local H Jay

ah of COURSE the steam sale would start the day i get paid

Search for posts from the amazon rep at CAG or GAF. Or ask @dirtyboy, he seems to be following all of them

Deus Ex PC download is a tiny cheaper than Steam was earlier, at 6.99

The Amazon rep runs this thread on CAG and he updates the OP with all the current deals and lists how long they last and where they activate. He also answers questions and takes suggestions for future sales and price matches.

I like this rep:

Amazon Rep on CAG wrote:

I am a huge Borderlands 2 fan and I want this to be our best selling pre-order ever. So I've drawn a line in the sand. If, from now until launch, we take 40,000 more preorders than where we were on 7/2/2012 I will get a Borderlands tattoo on my back.

Edit: Yay for night time reading comprehension.

Skull2185

I know RE ORC is a bad game. But for $20, why not? Right?

Dragkonias

Yeah. By Microsoft Store I mean microsoftstore.com. Not the Xbox Marketplace.

Apparently Gamestop is doing double value tradins for consoles right now? For credit, not cash.

http://www.gamestock2012.com/DealsOfTheWeek.aspx

Only till tomorrow or something. I might swing by and see if they'll take my old DSi and buy steamwallet monies.

Spoit

I'm still not convinced you wouldn't get more (in cash) from amazon marketplace or whatever, even with it doubled
