    All of you talking about finishing ME3 are big fat liars. The third game hasn't come out! It's like Bioware and Valve have a conspiracy to not come out with a 3rd game in a series.

    Finally, the voice of sanity here in the Steam thread.

    Speaking of Mass Effect, after Dragon Age I want to start my full ME run. I've already finished up to ME2, but never got any of the DLC there.

    Anyone knows if at any time in modern, written history has there ever been any BWpoints discounts? It's just so insane that I can buy the entire trilogy for cheaper than DLCs for only one game...

    Didn't see this posted. GMG has Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara for $3.74. 4 Pack also on sale for $11.24. I'm not sure when the sale ends.

    They've been on sale at Amazon one time that I can recall. I don't remember how much they sold it for though.

    Dangit, now I want to go back and buy the Citadel DLC
    You should. It is so good. Full disclosure, it is fanservice-y. Very. (But as kind of befits a grand farewell that came out a year after its base game.) But, oh man, so, so good.

    I will probably go back and check out the Citadel DLC eventually. I had the From Ashes DLC installed and was pretty glad about it. I also had Levaithan. Didn't bother with Omega; I'm not too interested in where that particular story goes.

    One thing I didn't miss in ME3 was the hacking/bypass minigames. Even though it was improved from ME1 --> ME2, it still got pretty tedious to do by the end.
    Omega's the weakest of the ME3 DLCs, but it's still good. By comparison, I'd say it's Arrival/Overlord good, but not Shadow Broker good.

    From Ashes is a must, and thankfully now can be had cheap as Origin includes it in the "Deluxe Edition Upgrade" that brings the base game up to the CE level (I have the CE on 360, and the DE on PC includes all the digital extras, as well as digital versions of some of the physical extras). Not sure what the price is in US$, but in UK£ it was 9.99 for the game and 4.99 5.00 for the upgrade, or 34.99 for just getting the same thing in one package. Nicely thought-out, EA!

    Yeah, here it is screenshot'd, with the Trilogy set for comparison...
    rkk4xe8up9d4.jpg

    DE/CE's also worth having as it is for Robodog and Shepard's N7 hoodie. (This is why fanservice doesn't bother me. ;) )

    Kind of.

    XBL has sales on points once in a while, which are used to buy the DLC on the 360. There's never been a sale on points as far as the PC market is concerned though. The best you can do is buy the DLC on Amazon, which gives you the exact amount of points you need, instead of having to buy a block and do the math.

    Sure there has. ;)

    Such sales are as rare as a smiling Bad Rats player, but it does happen. Amazon has sold the Bioware points on sale once or twice (like half off?), and [very] occasionally EA or Bioware will put up a discount on points bundles - those tend to be unannounced though, as far as I have seen.

    I believe the best deal Amazon had re:ME DLC was the ME2 DLC collection (game plus points for all story dlc) for $25 (with $5 off coupon) back in January

    It kind of blows my mind that people will balk at paying more than pocket change for a game that will easily give you a few hundred hours (or 1000+ for some people) of solid, satisfying, AAA content...

    Oh Gaben, what have you done?

    48 SEGA Classics games at amazon for $5.

    They do NOT come with Steam keys, however, if comments are to be believed, if you also pick up SEGA Genesis Classics Pack 5 (which does not seem to overlap with the 48 games at all), then put the downloaded files from the above purchase into the same folder, all the games will be accessible via the Steam launcher for Classics Pack 5.

  • Ed GrubermanEd Gruberman Registered User regular
    @Fawst - I don't know what regular price you were looking for exactly but Amazon has the Mac version for $4.42 (66% off)

    Says it requires Steam so, if I understand things correctly, you just get the code and it works on PC too.

    You can also buy a different pack which includes SEGA Genesis Classics Series 5 instead of the Sonic and Toe Jam & Earl games for $6 with Steam keys HERE.

    Also, those packs include separate keys for each of the Classic Series/Sonic/Toe Jam & Earl games.

    Divisive between 'meh' and 'not good' maybe. I don't think the game had a champion the last time we heard from folks who had played it.
