Games on SALE!

So GMG has a 50% promo on Mad Max.... but it worked for everything for about 2 hours.

Fallout 4 was like 30$

Missed it by 5 minutes before they fixed it.
 
Yup.

It's good classic CRPG.[DOUBLEPOST=1440563558,1440563321][/DOUBLEPOST]

Still not sold on it. All the early reports I heard (mostly from the Giant Bomb guys) have been pretty negative on it. It's a gamble.
 
There's a game called Blades of Time on the Humble Bundle sale that's caught my eye. Anyone played it before? Any good?
 
Those discounts are crazy! In the Telltale create-a-bundle, Game of Thrones is $14.99 and Tales from the Borderlands is $12.49 individually, or $27.48 together. Add the three 99 cent games and your new total is $10.49 for all five (which I just bought).
I'm really tempted to get Back to the Future (and just to get it cheaper, toss in Puzzle Agent 1 & 2, and Poker Night 2). If the Sam & Max games were included in this deal, I would've gotten them in a heartbeat.

Latest Humble Bundle is a bunch of Tom Clancy games. I've honestly never been a fan of any of the Tom Clancy games, myself, but it's a pretty damn great deal for anyone who is a fan.

EDIT: Ick, they're redeemable ONLY through UPlay. You know, on the other hand...

Bundle Stars has had this amazing deal with Shadow of Mordor for awhile now. It was $19.99 for the game and all its DLC for awhile. Now it's dropped to $14 for the same package. I've been humming and hawing over it for several days now.

GET IT! Easily one of the best Middle Earth games, or just games in general.

Whoa. Bought.
 
a) How trustworthy is Bundlestars? I'd never heard of them before today, and apparently even my work's filter hasn't - they aren't blocked.
b) How valuable is the DLC? I can see myself playing this eventually, but with a GOTY edition or just the base game from a Steam sale at -75% or so - this is more or less the same but is it worth getting all the DLC or am I better off waiting for a cheapo version of the base game?

Can't say about the DLC, since I've never played it. But I've bought a few things from Bundle Stars before. They work just like Green Man Gaming or Humble Bundle.[DOUBLEPOST=1441164866,1441164599][/DOUBLEPOST]

Done. It really is too good a deal to pass up.[DOUBLEPOST=1441165186][/DOUBLEPOST]http://www.bundlestars.com/store/darksiders-franchise-pack/

Speaking of Bundle Stars, here's another pack they're offering: the Darksiders franchise pack. Both games and all the DLC for $11.99. Not sure if that one's worth it, since I've never played them.

Honestly, the majority of Bundle Stars' offerings are ho-hum. A lot of indie game packages. Most of said games don't seem to rate very highly on Steam. For example:

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/infinite-bundle/
http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/cryptic-bundle-3/

I've never played the second, but the first was very good. It's not as good as Zelda at puzzles, and the combat isn't perfect, but it's a lot of fun. If Zelda games weren't such a high benchmark, then it wouldn't make Darksiders's flaws so obvious. The gameplay is solid, if rough around the edges. The story is ludicrous, and verges on nonsensical; while the mythology just jumps right over that line and is unfathomable. Still, the characters are fun, even if the world makes no sense.

Seconded. Good, though not great. Fun, though not awesome. Interesting, though not engrossing. If you're looking for something to play, 12 dollars is a good price.
 
Darksiders 1 was very good. Nice if you like action adventure games with metroidvania/zelda style map progression where new items allow you to access and unlock new areas. You play as basically Link if he was jacked up on roids, and Navi is replaced with Mark Hamil doing his totally-not-the-joker-but-totally-is-the-joker voice. The art style is very nice, too. There is nothing ORIGINAL in this game, whole sections of it are cut in full from other games, but they're all good parts cobbled together from other good games, and I see nothing wrong with that if done well.

Darksiders 2 I never got very far into because it bored me and the PC port wasn't very good. Death somehow has less personality than War, and that's saying something because War has less personality than Plank from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy.

I noticed a 50% increase in my youtube views on the 22nd.

And it's because the Humble Bundle this go around has both Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes and Space Engineers in it (if you spend more than $18).

Space Engineers is iffy, but there's no minimum to get FE:LH, and that's DEFINITELY worth picking up.

Here, just for giggles one more time, is my review of Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes
Fallen Enchantress:Legendary Heroes is 10 bucks on humble now.

Eh? I was really enjoying gat out of hell for the brief amount of time you and I played it.
Yeah but those 3 hours we played was like 1/3 of the entire game. I'd say to those who don't already have it, wait until it goes down to around $5 to get Gat Out of Hell.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the SR franchise, but I'll wait on Gat out of Hell. Not that it doesn't look funny, I just got the impression it was kind of a mini-game, and it cost too much for that.

Basically this. It's fun, though not as funny as The Third or IV, but it's really just sort of a stand-alone DLC.
