    UPDATE 10/15 8:16PM PST: Apparently the keys for Supreme Commander 2 we got from Square are actually activating Supreme Commander 1. I am now going to pull the buy box and email Square. I'll update again when I have more information. This panda is sad.

    Fuck! Missed it again.

    I figured this would be the best place to ask, but I've had an issue with Green Man Gaming. Last night was the last night for the $5 back or $10 GMG credit deal for XCOM. I placed the order, everything went through with my Visa authorization thingy, but the browser was stuck on the last step of confirmation. After about 8 minutes of waiting I just clicked out to see if I could do the purchase again. My bank still shows the transaction as pending, but GMG doesn't show the game as purchased. I submitted a ticket, and have yet to hear back (which I gather GMG is pretty terrible about responding to tickets submitted through their online support system.)

    Anyone have any experience with dealing with GMG in a similar situation?

    That reminds me. I was moving books about and found a copy of Magic Sword Kings. No idea where it came from, as I've never gotten around to buying it, and my siblings have never expressed much interest in the PA comic.

    What if I paid more than the average back when the average was lower?

    The Penny Arcade books are worth it for Jerry's commentary on each strip. I've gotten really good ab workouts from reading these books.

    I like the idea of the PA books being in HD .pdf format, it's a shame they are not sold that way on the PA store.

    What system is NHL 12 for? It's 16.19 for me on 360 and PS3.

    edit: Never mind, 8.99 on PS3, I assume you had 5 gamefly bucks too.

    Is Syndicate worth the 8.99? What about new Ghost Recon for 16 bucks?

    My iMac's HD died, currently in the repair shop. If it was here I would actually get this though. How do we download the bundle? Is it through the App store?

  • DarlanDarlan Registered User regular
    My 360 just red ringed(Its easily more then 3 years old). Are the bundles we see right now the same as on black friday, or should I wait to replace?

    edit: This is available, but I dont give a shit about the games, maybe I could sell to recoup some of the costs?

    That $250 is probably more than half of the cost of a Xbox 720 or whatever they're going to be called, do you have a gaming PC/PS3 that might tide you over until next holiday season or so? It might be worth contacting Microsoft and seeing how much they'll charge you to repair to limp on until then as well.

    Yes and yes.

    Syndicate is really fun, and Ghost Recon is a tactical shooter that plays almost lile a puzzle game.

    I found syndicate to be a surprise. It plays kinda old school, but the boss fights are pretty badass and challenging.

    Syndicate is really good.

    Ghost Recon is...if you've just played through Spec Ops: The Line, it is the absolute worst next game to play.

    Ha, yeah... don't do that. Probably shouldn't play anything with Nolan North as the lead, either. I went from Spec Ops to Uncharted 3. Parts of it were uncomfortable.

    Picked up Binary Domain for $9 with a coupon - I wanted to try it when it came out but never got around to it, and aside from the multiplayer being dead it looks pretty enjoyable.

  • Ah_PookAh_Pook Registered User regular
    i thought syndicate was pretty boring and not worth the $10 i picked it up for, but a lot of people liked it. i mean for $9-10 why not just pick it up and see for yourself.

    also best buy is doing b2g1 on all games 59.99 and under starting on sunday. if you cant hold out til black friday, it might be a good time to grab some games.

  • SimpsoniaSimpsonia Registered User regular
    Amazon has posted a coupon code that gives 25% off all digital download games except Borderlands 2 and XCOM (SQRLUVOC is the code). The nice thing is this code works on the Borderlands 2 season pass despite not working on the game itself.

    So should I pick up that Mass Effect Trilogy for Ps3 when it comes out for like 60 bucks, or just pick up 2 and 3 for like 10 bucks each from Gamefly and then get Mass Effect one when it comes out for however much on PSN?

    Mass Effect 1 will, I'm pretty sure 2 and 3 won't.

    In fact have they ever released a GotY version of Mass Effect 2?

    No, but they were still releasing DLC for it close to ME3'S launch, no?

    The PS3 version came with the Kasumi, Overlord, and Shadow Broker DLC if you count that.

    Yes- Don't bother using GMG if it gives you an issue. They blame the bank, bank has no idea, around and around. Maybe you'll get lucky, but if all your payment options fail the first time you're probably screwed.

    So, Darksiders II is $20 on GMG with a voucher. Worth it, or do you guys think the holiday Steam sale will bring it down even lower?

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Darksiders II is definitely worth $20. I doubt you'll see it for less any time this year. But I have heard the tales of the crazy shit Steam gets up to, so I dunno...

  • SteevSteev What can I do for you? Registered User regular
    I feel like I'm being kind of weird in that I played through the first Darksiders on the 360 and that's the reason I want to play through the second one on my 360, completely ignoring any sales for the PC version.

  • DirtyDirty Registered User regular
    I would totally be all over Darksiders II for $20 ... if it weren't for the fact that by the time I get a PC that can run it, the regular price will be $9.99.

    Anyone already mention that Best Buy and Target are supposed to be price matching Amazon, at least until Christmas? Not a specific deal, per se, but an opportunity to combine the savings of online shopping with the instant gratification of B&M stores.
