The places you download games.

[mytgroo]

Here goes. I do not like buying games in the store. I prefer to download and play them directly. So far I have bought most of Spiderwebs games by downloading them directly. I also bought Evil Islands from http://www.totalgaming.net . I have downloaded a number of other free games to try them out. I find this to be a superior experience to the store bought game, but then I am an independent games freak.


I have seen a number of new sites come up to download games from http://www.manifestogames.com, http://www.gametunnel.com , http://www.direct2drive.com , I also have seen http://www.fileplanet.com -- which looks interesting. I am not sure which is the best place to go to download and buy games directly. Could it be download.com

I am not looking for free games. I am looking for places where you can buy direct downloads of older games in the $10-20 range. Totalgaming.net was one such place, I bought Evil Islands there. I was looking at the Direct Download of Deus Ex for $9.95 on direct2drive.com . Basically the new games are too expensive. I am not going to spend $40-50.00 on a computer game. Where can I get the older and independent games as downloads at a not too expensive price. I am also looking at Fileplanet because it has a huge repository of older files, and some free direct downloads are included in the membership fee.

I totally agree with buying online rather then going to a shop. However I'm simply ordering the full package rather then downloading games. I'm wondering if there's any catch when playing these downloaded games. Do you need to be connected to this totalgaming.net for instance, to play the downloaded game ? Can you transfer the game to a different machine etc.

Could you possibly explain more about that ?

There is already a similar thread about this subject on TC.

Some comments.

I guess you have to register at the site to use the game. I had to do that on totalgaming.net. It wasn't so bad. It was rather easy. I think Gamersgate has very few RPG games.

I also looked at http://www.downloads.com which has a huge amount of game demos. I noticed that a few of them you can buy the whole game -- Fate 2006 for example. I don't think you have to register.

Because I am a cheap bastard, I will probably buy Deus Ex from direct2drive anyways even though people don't like it.

Steam looks awful. Manifestogames doesn't have anything I want, neither does gametunnel.

Mytgroo- IMHO Deus Ex is prolly the best 'adventury/RPG-ish' FPS of our time. Instead of putting Action in our RPG (a la craphole Oblivion) they put RPG in their action. Sure, the plot is a bit much on crackpot theory, but just finding all the different ways to 'break' the game is half the fun. (Should I try to sneak in, bribe someone, or just blow the damn front door up with my rocketlauncher?) Being a spiritual successor to system shock is kinda nifty as well. Plus, no elves, and that's always a good thing.

Otherwise, I prefer totalgaming and manifesto, but I'll look through my links for RPG 'bargains'... IIRC, the pickings are pretty slim outside of the biggies, and many of the RPGs I've come across end up being crappy GUIs for sub-par roguelikes or worse, Final Fantasy and Zelda clones/knockoffs.

In recent months Steam supplies me pretty well, I also use Gamersgate and GoG. Got some games on other sites(ie. Impulse), usually like one or two, so I won't mention them.

 

[Revenant]

I would say where I download games, but I have 1 warning point already.

Check the banner with letters GOG above your post Oldfag.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Steam, GoG, Gamersgate, Amazon.

This thread is not 6 years old so I'm going to answer the question.
