First reviews:
"There is a diffrence between making game hard, and unplayable for a player. Unfortunatelly for AoD, it's a second one"
After golden shower of $
"Aod makes something, that we saw already in Dark Souls, but in isometric perspective. Every move may be your last, so just remember that and be prepared for many deaths screens. Truly amazing experience"
Great. If you get on GoG, I will be tempted to buy it there, but if not, I will purchase it from your site.
Essentially.
Discounts? A lot of these sellers give up to 75% or even 90% discounts sometimes on codes. Although I must confess to my ignorance as to how of it. Probably Metro or Multi-headed Cow, our local steal whores, know better.
They many times are cheaper outside Steam. Most of the third-party portals somethimes sells steam keys much more cheaper than steam itself.
Sales.
AoD also requires a proper trailer - a combination of random "hit animations" in combat (but no actual combat system, so buyer wouldn't see it's turn based), one scene 1-2 seconds and screen needs to black out before the next one. Also scenes of enemies dying and pools of blood, then use a female character with very few clothes on (but do not show the actual tits, even though they are in the game). The beginning should have some cool voice saying "The lands of Rome are in peril... are YOU the hero who can change it's fate?" ("change" is a critical word here, AoD is about C&C after all, but the phrase needs to be catchy, so we still pretend like player is the "chosen one"). Of course we cannot forget about quick music. The video ought to end with the title and a background consisting of arena's art and gladiator (dirty of blood) finishing with a sword in both hands another gladiator lying in blood.
GamersGate is also DRM-free.
It's about fucking time Steam greenlit it. They were already too happy accepting such classics as Revelations 2012.
