Well, my price is $89.97, so I guess I'll give it a pass.

Oh, I wasn't very clear on that. About 40 minutes until it starts, not 40 minutes left. Deal hasn't gone up yet.

Cool, that sounds much better. Maybe, the next lightning deal then.
Edit: Worked like a charm!

Deal's up and running now.
I'm down if you still got one
I got two copies too, if anyone wants.

I have Dota 2 invites, if you're interested, PM me if you want some. Also, if you want to know about their community, it is filled with immature, little shit brains, but the game itself, is fun. As someone who has played both LoL and Dota 2, Dota 2 has a friendlier community, but it's still filled with asshats, like most MOBA type games, for whatever reason.

Ehh... see I can take competitiveness. I was pretty good at LoL, 2000+ Elo when normals were still a thing; and I had the privilege of being on a team that got utterly crushed by some elite, tournament winning squad. It's fun, no doubt. But the people are such incoherent, insane, aggressive and abusive assholes I just can't play that game. And what's confusing to me is that being a belligerent bastard to your teammates is counterproductive. I could never understand why people flew off the handle at their own team at a drop of a hat. It's not Counter-Strike. You can't solo whole enemy squads on skill alone; you actually need to be a cohesive team to succeed. But people still spent every game trashing their own bros. I just never got it, I guess.

Well, Dota 2 is leagues above LoL, *BUT* their community is still filled with asshats, so you just gotta decide what's better. I like Dota 2 because of the uniqueness of the heroes, and how you'll never find a hero like Invoker in LoL, and the ability to deny creeps/heroes is absolutely crucial.

What pisses me off is that it really is just some shitty DLC, mainly armors and weapons, which probably got cut out of the game, that you'll out-level in a few hours anyway. Why not put some damn effort into it and make worthwhile DLC after launch if you're already hell bent on making some? Extra hilarity because most of DLC isn't even covered by their fabled Season Pass.
Goddammit, THQ.
LA Noire went from €50 in November (release) to €12.50 in December last year.
Just release CoH2 and then fucking die, THQ.
They gotta remain afloat for at least 6 months after CoH2 to release all the content they cut to nickel and dime people with as DLC.

And the microtransactions, don't forget them!

La Noire took about half a year or more to get a PC port so it wasn't really a new release.

And a half a dozen patches to make it playable
Darksiders 2 is 66% off.
Metro is already downloading as I write this.

I will admit Darksiders 2 is something I would check out for dirt cheap and bundled. I haven't even bought/played Darksiders 1. If it's this cheap now, it'll be cheaper during Black Friday/Christmas sales. $10-$15 for a bundle of THQ games (the majority of which I'd actually play and not shit like Homefront or the newer Red Faction games) is pretty much the only way I'd go

I already have most of THQ's catalog of crap now so I'm kicking around the idea of buying Darksiders 2. Since it showed up on Gamersgate I could stack my IGN and the G2PO codes on it and bring it down to $13.50 without the season pass. Which I'm not sure the season pass would be worth it since the other "Big DLC" included apparently hasn't been released yet and doesn't even have a release date, which with THQ as it is sounds questionable.
Just dunno though. Certainly a decent price and I thought the first one was pretty ok (Except for the story/writing, holy hell it weirds me out when people act like they enjoyed that) but not all that motivated to grab 2. Especially since it sounds like they put some action RPG stuff in there which isn't really what I'd want from that game. Probably should just hang on to the money and use it to buy more awful indie bundles. $13 buys a lot of physics platformers and arcade-style score attack shoot 'em ups with the occasional arty game with no gameplay thrown in!
