Multi Latest Steam & General Gaming Bargains: Read first post!

I've got GTA IV as well and whenever I'm logged in and check the GTA IV Complete page it shows me owning that. Obviously that isn't so. Probably a glitch in the database or something. I'm actually a bit pissed about EFLC. Usually EFLC costs about as much as GTA IV Complete and I don't want to buy the game twice (GTA IV Complete) nor do I want to pay that much for a simple extension (EFLC).

As for FO:NV Ultimate Edition, I don't think it'll be in any Easter sale, if there is such a thing. I wouldn't be surprised finding it in the Summer sale, though. Still, the current offer is _very_ tempting. I really have to restrain myself.

 

Today's deals.

The price on LA Noire certainly comes as a surprise to me.

 

Obviously it's not very popular... doesn't surprise me; I'm sure most people that were interested in it bought it on a console... combine that with how many forcibly installed bits of DRM it has, as well as Rockstars track record for PC game support and optimisation and you've got a fairly bitter pill to swallow.

Bioshock is a great game, the 2nd not so much. I hoped Dead Island would appear in the sale but it is the same price as the Daily Wishlist Giveaway sale so not that great unless you get the 4-Pack. Hitman Collection is decent if you don't own them and Magicka is a bargain price, its a great little fun (and funny) game which I can easily recommend.

As mentioned L.A. Noire is a good price but frankly I wasn't that impressed with it on the PS3, still if you like this style of game read a few reviews and go from there.

If you are considering HOARD it goes without saying do not buy the 4-Pack, the price is higher than the single price, instead of the usual lower. (Steam and their adding skills again! )

 

Picked up GRID at £2.74. Thought it might be fun to play on projector.

 

bought nothing at all this sale suprisingly, though got alot of money off vouchers off things I dont want

 

ive bought dead island before xmas and been really enjoying it. Is it worth £15 if you want zombie rpg then yes. But if you want dead rising style game then this isnt the one for you.


has anyone played the Dead Island Bloodbath Arena dlc

Ref la noire i played it on 360 investigation was walk round till pad vibrated. With suspects it didnt matter what questions you asked. Two of my biggest issues with the game is the person you play is a total dick. ( seriously I was happy when I got him killed). Then the rockstar farce chases where you cant catch the person till you reach a certain point. Yeah great for replay total rubbish to play. One case your chasing this fat old git and its comical this ex marine running in slow motion not to catch him.

Plus as already stated rockstars support & ports for pc is terrible.

 

Don't know if anyone has noticed but you can get the Heroes of might and magic V pack which includes: Dark Messiah Might and Magi, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East, Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate for just £3.74.

Seems like one of the best bargains in this year's sale.

 

I can at least vouch for Dark Messiah of Might & Magic being a great game. As opposed to the other games it's more or less an RPG/FPS hybrid and a pretty entertaining one, in my opinion.

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!

 

Thanks for the noire review, will not be buying now.

 

Deus Ex for 6.85 http://www.shopto.net/DOWNLOAD/SALE...3_1325389914_c2900cf2e79147291080071718a2c482

 

If you have not played it then I recommend Bullet-storm, I am loving it. I doubt that I would have paid the full price but for £8 or so it is definitely worth a punt.

 

Sure, if you ignore the fact that Heroes V was dog turd. Tempted to get VI at £14.99, but i'm waiting for a random map generator first.

 

I know its not most of you chaps scene.......... but being an old fart who can remember the first film at the cinema I picked up Ghostbusters: The Video Game in the Steam sale.

This game is based in 1991 after the events of the second film.

I'll admit it has 2009 graphics but I am happy to pay £3.49 (50 percent off) just for the voice acting of the original cast. Not a great game but fun for me because I like a bit of nostalgia sometimes.

 

I personally enjoyed Heroes V, didn't really see/have any of the problems reviews mentioned, probably because I bought it quite a while after it came out, with both expansions, which apparently solved a lot of the bugs etc.
Also got Heroes VI, quite like it, although haven't put the time in to really judge.

 

Dark Messiah would have been a lot better without all the escort missions with sucky NPC AI. That's it... stand between me, and the person trying to kill you, so that you get hit with arrows from both sides. Classic AI for 'quest essential' characters, right there!

Yeah, I'd agree. It's obviously a console port, but I quite enjoyed it. Far from the best game I've ever bought, but far, far from the worst. A bit of spoiling your inner child doesn't hurts occasionally... and it amused me for a while.

 

Today's deals consist of the "Encore Day" aka. the ultimate letdown. Can't even be bothered listing the deals...

Recap day, basically whats been the sale, few minor tweaks here and there. Some of the Serious Sam indie titles are cheaper, more Total War games are on offer this time (Rome & Medieval). Still a few good buys if you missed them earlier in the sale like Magicka, Bastion, Orcs Must Die! and Portal 2.

 

Wow...that's great.
How is Shopto? (don't know them here)
Would I be able to buy the DLC for this game on steam when I buy the game on shopto?

 

I bought FM2011 from ShopTo a while back and just activated it through steam. Would've thought this would be the same but maybe someone else will know in more detail.
