They are not, BUT it would be fair to lower the price, then.

OH GOD I HATE THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH when it comes to media D:
Look over the gifting thread then. I guess these packs can be gifted too and the games have no region lock?
Plus, $70 is like 50€ so even with generous tipping, you'll be better off.

I've gotten several $60 PC games at launch in the last two years and paid less than $50 for all of them.


Yeah, I'll wait till release day.

Has it been confirmed if Skyrim will be steamworks? I remember there were rumors about it.

rage for $60 is just too much for me though. don't think i can buy games at full prices anymore, when there's so much variety/backlog to fill me in, but yes, rage looks damn amazing.

If you are in the US, you can pre-order RAGE: Anarchy edition on Newegg for $48.00 right now. Use the code below at check out.

Did you buy them on Steam, on a pre-order, with hats?

Direct2Drive, Greenman Gaming, Origin promo codes and retail discounts.

All but confirmed... I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.
 
I haven't heard great things about the game or the store but if anyone in the UK or mainland Europe is interested, Red Faction Armageddon is £10 /12.5€ on zavvi.

edit: and it's Steamworks, hence my post here.
 
Looks like I'm canceling my pre-order of Rage from Gamestop to get the Steam one for them sexy items.

Also, how much is Quake 4?

Its one thing to see Skyrim at $60, but RAGE too? LOL Not a chance in hell.

On the steam game wikipedia page it has Rage as a steamworks game so just wait for a sale before or after it comes out.
 
Forkball said:
So Skyrim isn't confirmed for Steamworks? What about my plan to get it for cheap during Amazon's Black Friday sale?!
Most Steamworks games don't get the info added to the store until release. I'll be surprised if Skyrim isn't Steamworks.
 
The problem with the pack is the iD part of the catalogue, its a compendium of old outdated shooters. Don't want to sound like a spoiled ungrateful bastard but at 70 is to much for me.

The disscount by preordering Rage and SkyRim is a good idea that falls apart with the 60 premium of both games.

Then hold off for specific bundles of stuff you want.

Doom and Quake is today, presumably we'll see an Elders Scrolls and Fallout one within the week.
 
I would be hesitant to preorder Skyrim or Rage right now. They're both almost certainly Steamworks, and you'll be able to get them for less than $60 elsewhere before launch. You can even do that now, actually.

Yeah I don't have any interest in any of those shooters in the pack and I already have the Fallouts so basically I'd be paying $70 for the elder scrolls. Guess I'm waiting for the elder scrolls day.

That's the good part of the pack.
Not even you believe that :D

The market of today is driven by FPS, so you have too many choices to consider the iD skeletons of the genre. Hell, most people complain about the generic FPS's of today, what then about generic FPS of yesterday?

You relly think there's a chance that will happen?

You may GIF to your hearts content but you know its the truth. Back in the day they were giants, today they are midgets, old ones at that :D

Thanks for the advice Stu.

Need some advice:
Fallout New Vegas for $15. Yes or No?
Yes. So much content.

But yeah, if you have lots of other games to play at the moment you might as well wait for an eventual daily deal.
 
I highly doubt Q4 is gonna drop at all. It comes with a rocket launcher, and they know they can milk out the $20 if they include that for the TF2 freaks out there.

if you can wait 5 years for Q4, you can wait 3-6 months for it to go on sale ;)

I actually finally played the entirety of Doom 1 just the other year. It held up damn near flawlessly. The gunplay was perfect, the level design was top-tier, and it was an absolute blast to play through. I finished it in less than a week.
 
Yeah, the problem is that I want to play Quake 4 AND I want that rocket launcher, but I don't think $20 for both is a good enough deal. Yet, it would be extremely time consuming to craft the rocket launcher. So i'm not sure what I want to do.
 
Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues worth buying it now for €7.49?
Odds of it going on sale this week?

How much is it sold for in the US?
 
All I need is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition and Quake 4... Hopefully they'll be cheaper

it has a slightly different stat from the Rocket Launcher, but that may be enougn of a difference for Valve to give it an easy recipe later
 
dammit...I really want that Rocket Launcher even though I havent been playing too much TF2 lately.

I have retail Q4 somewhere (or it may have been lost in a move), But I never finished it....I dunno about $20 though.
 
Doom 1 holds up.
I'm not sure they all do.
Also if you weren't around to get some nostalgia for older shooters I can see how they might put you off.

If you can get past the old graphics, insanely long levels, and keycard hunts they are some great white-knuckle fun.

Problem with Bethesda/id sales for me is that I already own all this stuff on disc. I want it on steam so I can play it whenever with zero effort but...the prices are too damned high. Quake IV for $20? Seriously?

edit: Oh, and I hate Heretic. Always have. Hexen was pretty neat.
