They've got Spec Ops keys again, just picked up a copy

Hey, what's that battle DLC for SA2?

The DLC is all the content from the GameCube version of SA2 that wasn't originally on the Dreamcast version, IIRC.

 

[haikira]

Are GMG giving out Steam keys like Amazon for AC3?

Doesn't seem like they're Steam keys. =S

 

[nexen]

My first impressions about the SA2 PC port, posted in the SA2 OT:

It is a shame that the better Sonic Adventure didn't get this treatment. Will probably (begrudgingly) pick up SA2 when it hits 66% or higher off, then.

 

[Lord British]

Would anyone be prepared to trade £2 Paypal + a Metro 2033 key for a GMG Spec Ops key?

If this is an insultingly weak offer, feel free to ignore it.

 

[spindoctor]

I Am Alive should be cheaper in one of the Steam sales right? I'm kind of interested in it but with Hitman, The Walking Dead and Far Cry 3, I won't be playing it any time soon so I was wondering if I should just wait.

 

[Wok]

I don't get it.

There is a new Humble. It has a Steam key.

 

[Jonm1010]

Well that's fucking irritating.

Been trying to buy the spec ops deal because I've been dying to try this one out at a reasonable price but GMG won't take any of my cards saying that the banks I use mislabel them as a gambling site or some shit.

Of course.

See if you can get someone to buy it for you and paypal the money?

 

[Jzero]

Yea but i don't get what we get with that key. just prototypes?

 

[Jonm1010]

See if you can get someone to buy it for you and paypal the money?

Well based on the responses here I seem to be one of the few that isn't seeing it sold out but I would definitely be willing to do that.

 

[zulux21]

Yea but i don't get what we get with that key. just prototypes?

yeah a costume quest prototype and happy song prototype...
oddly enough the costume quest prototype has voice overs (trick or treat smell my feet oh look a kid to eat)

 

[AliceInJam]

Yea I had this happen to me as well. You should call your bank and check the cards that you used to make sure they are still active. My bank immediately cancelled my card after I tried to use it on GMG, fraud prevention. Sucks.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Why doesn't greenmangaming want to take my money?

I have to call my bank everytime I want to buy something from GMG

 

[Wok]

oddly enough the costume quest prototype has voice overs (trick or treat smell my feet oh look a kid to eat)

Plus four other prototypes, maybe one of these for instance.

 

[nexen]

I use paypal for GMG because it hates my credit cards too.
Works fine through paypal.

edit: actually it is my bank that hates GMG, because it is run by dirty foreigners I guess.

 

[Jonm1010]

Man I hope I don't have to sit on the phone for both my cards now because of a 6 dollar purchase.

Thanks for the heads up though! I went from ecstatic to annoyed, to demoralized to now worried. Not sure I'm liking GMG anymore.

 

[Jonm1010]

Awesome PayPal just worked for me!! Got it!

Now to call my banks about my other cards

This just in:

Hey guys,

Quick note, I'll be dropping the Rockstar/Take 2 updates sometime around 11/21.

 

[Miker]

I'm disappointed Amazon is bundling Max Payne 3 with the Season Pass and not just selling it at $10 or so by itself. I have zero interest in multiplayer and even if the bundle was $15, that $5 difference will make me wait for an even lower sale.

 

[xelios]

This just in:

Heh, just edited that into my posts, thanks. Also added these to my full list, will repost the entire list on the next page since it's been a while:

Stated by Amazon representative but still unconfirmed/no link given:

Also Black Friday will include this bundle for $7.49:

• Victoria Franchise
• Hearts of Iron III Collection
• King Arthur Collection
• King Arthur II
• Achtung Panzer 1943
• Gettysburg Armored Warfare

We'll have Steam keys for the games that have Steam counterparts (I think). Need to check with Paradox.

Quick note, I'll be dropping the Rockstar/Take 2 updates sometime around 11/21.

 

[drizzle]

I tried to buy Spec Ops from a Poland site (the ROW key, Rest of the World, just like the GMG one) for 4 dollars, but the order never went through.

So fuck it, I bought it on GMG now for 6 bucks.

If the poland order shows up, I'll just give it away.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Leon Belmont]

Does Spec Ops really worth it? I read that it only take 4hrs to beat is that true?


Also Tony said this about Call of Duty Black Ops

It'll be on sale over Black Friday, but still figuring out what the price point will be.

 

[zaxon]

Does Spec Ops really worth it? I read that it only take 4hrs to beat is that true?

Took me about 8 hrs playing on hard. Wonderful game, though more for what it makes you feel and think than for the actual gameplay, which is merely competent.

 

[drizzle]

Does Spec Ops really worth it? I read that it only take 4hrs to beat is that true?

General consensus is that the game is flawed, but it's worth it for what it does at the ending.

It won't get cheaper anytime soon, as it's the same price on Steam and I doubt it'll get a price drop before the summer sale.

And even if it does, it'll be 5 bucks, as opposed to 6 bucks with the discount code.

I got it mostly because I'm curious about that ending part.

 

[Santiako]

Does Spec Ops really worth it? I read that it only take 4hrs to beat is that true?

Yes, I played it last month, it lasted about 5 hours on normal. The game is short, but fantastic.

 

[xelios]

Fallen Enchantress (Steamworks) is 33% off at Gamersgate -- $26.79 or $22.77 if you have the IGN discount.

Spec Ops is the best sleeper hit I've ever played. It's about 5 hours.

SHUT UP AND GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY

 

[1-D_FTW]

Recently saw a 3D movie of I Am Alive and it definitely jumped up my wishlist (looks fantastic with the Helix mod). Will wait for a little lower though.

 

[Tambini]

Why does Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer just start to download itself whenever it wants -.-

 

[xJavonta]

I never understood why people equate game time to monetary value. That's just me though, if it gives me $60 worth of fun, I'll buy it. I don't care if it's 60 hours or 5 hours, fun is fun lol

Also, what's the deal with that Humble Bundle thing? I'm not exactly sure what they're offering.

Spec Ops is 5 great hours totally worth the price it's at now.

Game length is such a weird measure too, do people always play through games to the end and then never touch them again?

I played Journey through 3 times so in my mind it feels more like a 6 hour game than a 2 hour game and I stopped playing Dead Island after 2 hours so it was completely irrelevant to me if it's 15+ hours long

Amnesia Fortnight is the name for Double Fine’s annual prototyping period. They take two weeks off from whatever they’re working on, split the company into small teams, and each team gets two weeks to make a game. They do this to test out new ideas, and to test out new project leaders who feel ready to have a project of their own. Many of the games Double Fine has released in the last few years have come from the Amnesia Fortnight process. As Tim Schafer says, “it’s really a great morale boost for the team, and a highly effective way to develop new game ideas.”

Double Fine wants you to be a part of Amnesia Fortnight! You can vote for the ideas that get made into prototypes, which will be live streamed during the development process. In addition, 2 Player Productions will be filming the process and posting videos daily. That means you get to see all these games come together from scratch in front of your eyes!

Contributing will also get you two awesome prototypes from previous Amnesia Fortnights, available for Windows (DRM-free and on Steam). Both are an amazing glimpse into Double Fine’s creativity and give a sneak peek as to what to expect from this year’s game jam.

When the Fortnight is done, you can download the actual prototypes and play them yourselves. Contribute now, pay what you want, and decide how much money goes to charity. Then you can decide who wins the award for best prototype of Amnesia Fortnight.

So watch all the videos, read the materials, talk about the games on Double Fine’s forums, and make your selections. Buy the bundle, play the prototypes, let Double Fine know what you think. Who knows? Maybe the greatest game Double Fine has ever done will come out of this process, and you will have been part of it!

People contribute, then they vote on their favorite game pitches, out of the 23 prototype pitches listed, then Double Fine take the top voted ideas and do a game jam. Contributors get two prototypes from previous jams as well as access to the top four winners from this jam.

Bad game, ok story. Read heart of darkness/watch apoc. now instead.

This doesn't count as buying a new game, right? I mean, it's just 1 buck.

I do not replay games. I've got too many games and too many things I want to do during the day, I want to buy something worth my time.

Has anyone tried vpn directly from the router using a dd-wrt flashed router? Maybe that will work to bypass the geographical restrictions?

It counts as 4 games, the bundle gives you the 4 top voted prototypes

 

[JordanKZ]

I can't remember if Sonic Adventure 2 really was this easy/short or because I played it to death as a 12 year old I remember everything about it. Either way, nostalgia trip. Made me realise that game is no way as fun to play without all the upgrades though.

All the THQ stuff is gone; Saints Row 3 is back to $20 and Season Pass $10.

I'd expect to see them lowered again during the Steam sale though, hoping to pick up a complete edition or something.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Picked up Spec Ops just now, all the talk of it on podcasts and on here got me interested. For $6, why not.

 

[Snuggles]

Argh, I hate buying from GMG. First it cann't authenticate my mastercard for some reason, then I can't remember my paypal password and it doesn't let me log in a guest.

Oh well, I didn't need Spec Ops that bad.

 

[Jintor]

I'll try and pick up Sleepy Dogs and Dishonoured...

except for the bet with Glass Rebel

until the month's over. So much for willpower.
