The NON-Steam Bargain Sale Mega Thread of Savings

[Metro]

FYI I just got off the phone with Paradox.

We're going to extend this sale through the end of the week (6/2) since it is doing so well.

More importantly though. Everyone who purchased the Plentiful Paradox Package, and everyone who chooses to purchase it this week, will get 2 $23 promotional credits, 1 for

Europa Universalis Chronicles

and 1 for

The Hearts of Iron III Collection

That will make both of these games $6 each for those of you looking to round out your Paradox Grand Strategy collection.

Just a note that we won't start giving out the credits until tomorrow likely. There are a couple of people that I need to click a button here and there to turn the promotion on...and I think they are eating burgers right now...

Cheers,
Tony

Anyone knows if Frayed knights is available only on the dev site or are there other options for getting it, too?

Edit:
It's on Desura, as well, and even a bit cheaper it seems (unless some tax will be added on check-out)

 

[Gragt]

As far as I know, it's only from the dev site.

Desura and Indievania.

For someone who's totally new to those types of games (uh, hardcore strategy I guess?), which of those two would you recommend (EU or HoI3)? Basically, which is more newbie-friendly?

 

[Captain Shrek]

EU definitely.

 

[The Ticktockman]

Thanks. Purchasing now. I'll start playing all these Paradox games once I finish up with Dragon's Dogma.

All Ultima And Wing Commander Games 2.99 each. Sale ends in 3 days.

Gothic series seems to be on sale at Gay-mer's Gate. $3 for G2+expansion.

 

[Turjan]

Not sure whether it's a good price, but Risen is $5.99 on amazon this week.

 

[Metro]

Best I've seen it. Eventually it might hit $5 but, meh.

 

[Secretninja]

The DRM for risen started working near the end of the game so I never finished it. Too bad for them that by all accounts the last part is the weakest part.

 

[mck]

Just play risen using gamersgate's void thing. It actually works great.

You can buy DS3 75% off http://getgamesgo.com/category/dungeon-siege-iii-sale

and Guild franchise http://www.getgamesgo.com/category/the-guild-sale

 

[Humppaleka]

I really wonder if DS3 is worth the price. On the edge of buying but everything about is is so mixed I don't know.

 

[TripJack]

it's not

don't do it

 

[Metro]

I got it for $5, it's not terrible. The combat is decent but it's entirely linear, itemization is pretty bland, and the story is fairly generic and uninteresting. If you do get it don't bother with the expansion -- it's just more of the same and you really won't be dying for anything more than the 15ish hours or so the base campaign delivers. Played it once and since have had zero desire to go back and play again as another character/class.

Oh, btw, it is Steamworks so if you have some Gabe-a-phobia you don't want to buy it as Steam is required to play.

DSIII is the worst game I've played in years.

- Boring story.
- Boring characters.
- Boring setting.
- Boring action in an action-game.
- Interface is a fucking mess and that is being nice.
- Gameplay is all around shit, really.
- I thought the aesthetics were crap, but that's just me.

Amazon has the Plentiful Paradox Collection for $12.45 ($135.94)

1. Crusader Kings II [Download] 4.7 out of 5 stars (17) 700 MB $9.99
2. Magicka Collection [Download] 3.2 out of 5 stars (10) 635 MB $4.99
3. Magicka: The Stars Are Left DLC [Online Game Code] 4.0 out of 5 stars (2) $5.99
4. Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter [Download] 2.2 out of 5 stars (11) 2.0 GB $7.49
5. Swords of the Star - Complete Collection [Download] 3.8 out of 5 stars (10) 1800 MB $4.99
6. Victoria II [Download] 3.1 out of 5 stars (20) 500 MB $10.18

Note that most require you to install on Steam (blast!), but I mention this because Sword of the Stars Collection requires... an Impulse account?! At least according to the top comment on Amazon. Weirdsville, never heard of that before. True Steam haterizers can buy Sword of the Stars individually for $4.99, while true bros will buy the whole set and gift the vile steam games to their Grandma. (Steam's for grandmas, yo.)

Awesome! 4 Steam keys and two standalone games. That's really a great deal, especially as I didn't own any of those games before .

I just got a message from amazon that they now added Steam keys for Victoria II and Sword of the Stars Complete, too. That finally perfects this deal.

Two Worlds 1 is in that 'vote off' thing on GOG -- if it wins it'll be $4 tomorrow.

 

[Zeus]

Yeah, I voted Two Worlds. Own a boxed copy but the DRM is a friggin joke.

FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS!

http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/

Score an OMG FREE copy of UnReal World RPG, the Finnish iron age survival sim roguelike. It's awesome.

P.S. To assuage your fears, Giveaway of the Day is totally legit. You just have to install the game during the 24 hour period. Which, in the case of UnReal World RPG, is over in like three hours. GET ON THAT.

For anyone who missed out on the deal, don't bother bitterly pirating a copy. URU has an awesome tiered payment system: it's a shareware game you can register for $3. You won't get any updates, but you'll be able to play it enough to tell if updates are something you'd be into, or if your soft buttery ass can't handle the soulpunishing wilderness.
