The NON-Steam Bargain Sale Mega Thread of Savings

[Infinitron]

Ok since this thread is apparently not Steam exclusive, here's a heads up to the Deep Silver Deals. Warning, just a few hours remaining:

http://www.greenmangaming.com/deep-silver-deals/

I'd absolutely recommend Lost Horizon and Tunguska 2, if you're into adventures (one of the finest contributions to the genre in the last decade; still shit compared to the previous one though). There's also Tunguska 3 but can't say anything, haven't played it yet.

And as for Risen 2, seems I'm defending the damn game on every forum on the whole damn internet, but I stand my ground - after the combat patch, it's NOT a terrible game. It's more flawed than the first Risen (fucked up chardev balance is the biggest problem) but if you're a Gothis/Risen fan, then you've no excuse not to grab it at the 75% off discount.

This thread is Steam exclusive. Other sites are posted only if they offer Steam keys.

^ That. Although a lot of Deep Silver games are Steamworks.

Ah, NOW I see the non-Steam bargain sale thread. Great.
Time to go to sleep.

EDIT: Yeah, turns out Risen 2 requires Steam, so it's not completely OT.

 

[Rahdulan]

Good god, Amazon sale has begun. Shame I'm not really interested in most of the games and both Cyanide RPGs are still at only 50% off with a high base price. Soon, my dear. Soon.

Looked at Dark Souls and the Batman games there. Dark Souls description says:

Additional info: Steam account and Games for Windows Live required for game activation and installation

OTOH, Batman games only mention Steam. Did they finally get rid of GFWL and SecuROM, or is Amazon just being inconsistent in pointing out DRM?

Batman stuff still has GFWL and Securom. Re: Dark Souls, if you're not interested in online PvP/co-op experience you can just make an offline GFWL profile.

meh don't see anything worthwhile

not even a decent heart of darkness discount

 

[Bruticis]

Tempted to get the C&C collection from Amazon for 10 bucks. Pretty sure that's the cheapest it's been so far. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009IR1SR0

 

[Deuce Traveler]

After watching a Let's Play of it, I'd like to one day get Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble, but is it worthwhile as a $10 game? Also I don't know much about Show Me the Games. Can you purchase DRM free games off of there?

i got excited for a second then i saw origin

 

[Bruticis]

Pretty sure Origin is your only choice for that collection. It was published exclusively for Origin.

 

[Rahdulan]

You may as well get the First Decade collection instead which you can find at retail, considering the later quality of C&C games. And you don't need Origin for it.

 

[Overboard]

Gamersgate has the Jagged Alliance games on offer for a pretty hefty discount.

 

[Tigranes]

Ah, I missed Hitman: Absolution. $10 is the max I can afford at the moment, would anybody pick from:
Bully
New XCOM
Old XCOM Set
Dark Souls
?

I'd buy that if it had the original documentation and what not. These stupid collections with PDF docs suck.
This is how you do it

 

[Garm]

So does anyone know if you can buy the Cities XL 2011 steam code and use that to get the 85% off deal for Cities XL Platinum on Steam?

The Nordic Games games are 75% off at GreenManGaming.

http://www.greenmangaming.com/nordic-deals/

I'd FINALLY buy Dungeon Lords to see for see for myself the extent of D. W. Bradley's decline.
There's also Spellforce dirt cheap (Spellforce 2 is weak sauce though).

 

[Sergiu64]

King's Bounty is on sale at GamersGate, including the latest one:

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-KBWN/kings-bounty-warriors-of-the-north

 

[Metro]

Not worth it. Just pick these up in a bundle for a couple of bucks. Warriors of the North is just a reskinned AP which is just a reskinned Legend.

 

[Gragt]

You may as well get the First Decade collection instead which you can find at retail, considering the later quality of C&C games. And you don't need Origin for it.

C&C, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun are available for free online though. Yeah I know, everything is available for free online but I mean legally here. It's good to know in case you are mostly interested in these titles.

You can get links to the freeware files on the front page of the CnC wiki: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/EVA_Database

Not worth it. Just pick these up in a bundle for a couple of bucks. Warriors of the North is just a reskinned AP which is just a reskinned Legend.

I'd say if there are people who loved Legend and AP and still aren't tired of the formula, then WotR is absolutely worth it. Just more of the same good thing (although, I admit, there's about 20 % less love and care in WotR then in the prequels).

 

[Metro]

I suppose but I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't be tired of it by now. Big reason why I'm looking forward to Legends of Eisenwald. A bit more polished and something a bit different in the genre.

Gamersgate is having a Swedish developers weekend offer on a lot of games, including:

Hearts of Iron (various)
Dominions 3
Hotline Miami
Conquest of Elysium 3
Magicka
A Game of Dwarves
etc.

 

[octavius]

Bought Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for a few euros in a thrift shop.
Thus my CRPG collection is complete, I think.

While at it I also bought CoD2, Battlefield and Shogun Total War, each for a few euros.
