    I burned out on Rayman Origins pretty quick, but if I had gotten it as a downloadable title I bet I would have finished it due to the ease of firing it up for a level or two now and then.

    You get the codes pretty instantaneous and their service is decent, if at all you have a problem with the code.

    $12.99 - 1200 points
    $16.99 - 1600 points
    $21.99 - 2400 points
    $40.99 - 4000 points

    That is the better of them, money to points ratio.

    I think it says so some web-bot couldn't just scam it out of codes, just like a Google verification I suppose. I did it and had the code in my email in like 30 seconds.

    Okay so L.A. Noire is on sale today, and I looked it up and the download size is...6 gigs and change?

    For a three-disc game?

    How the fuck did that work out?

  • TurkeyTurkey So, Usoop. TampaRegistered User regular
    It has you download the other discs from inside the game.

    No

    As someone who unabashedly loves the first four THPS games and can still get down on THUG and Project 8 and tolerates American Wasteland

    THPS HD is hot garbage from a garbage developer

    After the two Ride games and this, let Robomodo go away forever please

    Dudes, Dust is great. Like... surprisingly so. I didnt think it was going to be bad, but i didnt expect it to be this good.

    I keep getting flashbacks to Muramasa, and its got the whole metroidvania thing going on. Plus the little bits of humor like the first merchant and "mysterious wall chicken" are a nice touch.

    Well worth 1200 funbux. Especially worth it for 600 funbux.

    Hah, I sort of wish I held out for a sale, but I had enough points from the rewards program to pick it up a few weeks ago at 1200.

    Plus, given that it's an exclusive, I can't be the only one who felt like buying it at full price was a good way of supporting that guy's efforts. It's the most fun I've had with a Castlevania-style game in a long, long time.

    Remembering that Dust was made by one dude makes me feel like just the laziest piece of shit

    There appears to be some kind of slide move I need to get through some areas in Dust. Do i get this at some point in the story, or do I need to seek it out? I feel like I should have found it by now.

    Also, can I do sidequests once I finish the story? Is there a new game+?

    I'm pretty sure you need the Slide move to complete the game, so you should be led to it at some point.

    There's no NG+, more's the pity. There's also no free-roam after finishing the story either, so I'd recommend keeping a save from just before the final boss to work from if you have side-quests you want to do.

    After you finish the game, it saves right before the final boss, so you don't have to worry about screwing yourself out of completion.

    Thats good to know. So pleased with this game, everything about it is so fun. Even Fidget, who i found annoying at first, has grown on me. She reminds me of a non-crazy kittybat version of Tiny Tina.

    Yeah, thanks to December sales I now have Mark of the Ninja, Fez, and Dust to play. Will probably have the entire Walking Dead game before year's end.

    Ah crap, missed out on Fez for 400.

    the first episode of The Walking Dead is now free until the end of the year

    also, Rock of Ages is just $2.50 on daily. I couldn't get into it, but a lot of people really like it. def worth checking out the trial

    I wonder what day the rest of the episodes are supposed to go on sale...

  • mere_immortalmere_immortal So tasty!Registered User regular
    Is Fez still worth grabbing for 800?

    It's cheap but from what I've seen people saying a lot of the fun around it was playing it as it came out and chatting about the weird code stuff it used.

    Unless you're unable to resist looking up spoilers and puzzle solutions, there's no reason to not check the game out. It's seriously phenomenal, even at full price.

    Just be prepared that the stuff mentioned is the main attraction

    If all you want is just a good platformer like I did, you'll be pretty sorely disappointed

    I just played through Walking Dead episode 1 since it was free. I don't think I can take four more episodes of that. D:

    Episode 1? That's a pretty happy, feel-good episode compared to the rest.

    It's a good hurt, though.

    Glad I'm not the only one. I really wanted to like it since the presentation is hilarious, but it doesn't seem to go beyond rolling downhill. Even placing defenses doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

    At any rate, today's deal is Counter-Strike: GO.... and that's it. And from what I hear Counter-Strike: GO sucks.

    CSGO on Xbox is fun.

    I went in expecting something like Braid but Fez is actually a lot more like Myst.

    TWD is on sale Tomorrow only! And for anyone getting their hopes up that it will be 50% off, I would temper your expectations. I'm assuming they will be discounted 25% per episode(400 to 300). This would make the whole game 1200 points(since the first ep is free), which is still a great deal.

  • shoeboxjeddyshoeboxjeddy Registered User regular
    Well I guess ignore Lecter because the whole game is $10 now. (Each episode after 1 is 200 points).

  • DrxLecterDrxLecter Registered User regular
    yup, just came here to say i was wrong. what an amazing deal.
