Gamefly PC sale: Walking Dead $10, XCOM $20

Very tempted for the Walking Dead. Heard from a good friend that it's amazing.
...but then there's that backlog...

I know it'll be cheaper some day...I think...argh!
 
Still too expensive.

Then you have to wait until they process you purchase. Gamefly is kind of weird with that. They actually called me the first time I bought something to confirm my CC.
Yep, they did that for me today to confirm the order and other details. Kind of nice, actually.

You mean call me on my phone ? o_O
Damn ! I think it will be the last time I buy something on this website. I payed for a game but still no key. Come on !

You didn't pay yet if you have no key. They still need to confirm it.
It's a little bit annoying but nothing to get so upset about. It's only the very first time you buy something.
 
Guess I should've gone for the phone confirmation lol. Very strange but oh well, hopefully it doesn't take too long for them to process a credit card.
 
Damn, I fucked up my XCOM purchase. I forgot to update my expire credit card info on Gamefly (hadn't used gamefly in over a year) and the order went through with my expired card date.

I updated the card info on the site, but now it's saying it could take up to 48 hours for the transaction to go through or something. Stupid me, should have noticed that before I hit go. :(

EDIT: Crisis averted. It just had me update card info and it says the order is "Purchased." Now I guess I just wait for the Steam Key to show up.
 
Good deals indeed.

But wtf is up with them having to verify every purchase i make. Rather annoying. Happened last time with Spec Ops
 
Cool, grabbed walking dead. And to be clear, that includes the whole season correct? (though its obviously too late now either way)

EDIT: NVM, can confirm myself that it is indeed the whole season, all 5 episodes.
 
Bought and downloading now....how well do you think this will run on a i5 with a Intel HD 3000?

I've got a gaming PC that plays the steam demo fine but I was hoping it was playable on my laptop.
 
I'm about to purchase TWD. If I play this before reading the comics/watching the show will I be spoiled?

No, it's a completely unrelated story that takes place in the same world as the comics. Characters and situations are all different.
 
Questions about the walking dead: Is the PC version the best of the 3 platforms?(Bug wise, not graphical fidelity) How long does the deal last?(Don't get paid till Friday) Is it all 5 episodes ?
Console version over the buggy pc version.save your money or buy on console
 
damn, backlog's stupid-high right now but i was enjoying ep 1 of WD from PS+...$10 for the whole lot does sound pretty good

gonna go check that save file thread and see if it's still shitty

Forgot to mention I was talking about xcom.

Should be fine. It is a strategy game so real-time rendering is not a big part of it. The PC I ran it on wasn't so hot and all I noticed was a little stuttering when certain enemies moved on certain missions.
 
Yeah fuck them and there objectively broken experiences. Totally invalid here.

My save broke too. At the start of episode 5 no less. But I had enough perspective to realize:

1) i was in a minority (none of my friends had thks problem)

2) the game doesnt "eat" saves the config file just gets messed up and needs resetting.

I used google and 20 minutes later, problem solved. But even if it hadnt been relatively easy to fix and my choices didnt follow through that wouldnt change the fact that the game is extrmely good. And the frame rate and glitch problems on other platforms shouldnt be overlooked. This is objectively the best looking and best performing version and it's like the price of three beers.
 
I keep telling myself Im going to pick up the walking dead and I never do. Ill have to google exactly what kind of game it actually is. I understand you dont always control the characters directly?
 
Is Crysis an Origin key?

Yes and no. "Yes" in the general sense that Crysis 1 keys can be added to an Origin account; "No" insofar that they can't be redeemed through the client and you must contact Support to have a CSR do it for you.
 
Tempted to hop on the Xcom deal to play with a friend but there are other games I want more that will probably also be on sale during the Steam Christmas sale.
