Games on SALE!

Yes.
But quite a few developers didn't bother to patch it out of their "old" games. It's one of the biggest examples of these types of DRM coming back to bite legitimate customers in the ass. People jsut aren't supposed to play games over 5 years old, apparently.
If you mean you don't have the very first game, you'll just be a little confused by the Present Day storyline, but the real game will be just fine. I'm sure you can find a summary of that online, or even a video playthrough of it (which is really just a series of interactive cutscenes. Long, boring interactive cutscenes)[DOUBLEPOST=1471727047,1471726917][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, and if the 3 games you got are Assassin's Creed 2 and its sequels, then got the best of the bunch
Welp, I broke down and bought Assassin's Creed 1&2 through GMG. Yeah, it's uPlay, but I figure I'll probably only ever play through them once. And for that price, it's worth it, even if Screwbisoft shuts down its servers sometime in the future.
Hey @Zero Esc, you're like one of the few people on here that games regularly on a PS4, right? Well, how's this Humble Bundle for ya?
(And, I mean, if there's anyone else that might be interested.)

I was very interested in this bundle! Until I saw most of the games that interested me were PS3 codes, and I don't even own a PS3 anymore. Ah well.
Super Puzzle Fighter II is the greatest.
Shit, so they are. Well that seems completely silly when we're into the next generation.
Unfortunately I own the ones of those I'd otherwise be interested in, but I appreciate it.
The number of PS3 games is pretty weird though.

It's a much better survival crafting game than No Man's Sky
Much more reasonably priced too, I'll bet.
Pocket Fighter is so much fun. You'd think it'd just be a gimmicky cash-in on chibi characters but oh my God it's just the best thing.
GOG is pretty much having a "@GasBandit's pick" sale at the moment, IIRC. Fallen Enchantress, Galactic Civilizations (all of them and their DLC).
Humble Bundle is giving away Tropico 4 if you link your Steam to them, ends Saturday at noon-ish: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/tropico-4-free-game

Bundle Stars has the LEGO Pick and Mix Bundle choose two from a list for $9.99
Jurassic World
Marvel Super Heroes
Harry Potter Years 1 - 4
Harry Potter Years 5 - 7
The LEGO Movie Videogame
Batman
Batman 2
Batman 3
Batman 3 Season Pass
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
Marvel's Avengers
Marvel's Avengers Season Pass
Most of these are also on sale on Steam in the WB Publisher Weekend sale, and for many of them it's cheaper to get on Steam (8 of the 13 selections are $4.99 individually)
The biggest savings from Bundle Stars is for a combo of Avengers and it's season pass. That's $9.99 vs $29.99. Other savings are on Batman 3 & season pass ($11.24 on Steam), and Jurassic World is also cheaper as half of a bundle (it's $7.49 alone on Steam) but has no obvious pairing. Though you could snag it and Batman 3 and hope the LB3 season pass goes on sale again at some point in the future (last time I saw it on sale it was $3.74, but it is not on sale individually right now), or pair it with any other game and still save versus buying both on Steam.

Battlefield also has a thing, giving away all the BF4 expansions for free for all platforms until 9/19.
All the blue and orange you can handle, now for free (assuming you already own the original game).

Still Origin for PC? Pass.
I assume you have to use Origin for the base game, so I suppose anyone taking advantage of this knows what they're getting into.

A few months ago, somebody gave me a copy of GTA5 as a present.
Problem is, they went to a STORE and bought a PHYSICAL copy. You know... with multiple DVDs.
I still haven't gotten around to putting an optical drive in my rig so I can install it yet.

Fixed.
Downloading the ISOs might actually be legal, so long as you choke off the upstream traffic.

As astonishing as it is, I'm actually not running Daemon Tools on my rig. Never needed to load it on this one, in the last 3 years.
I know, right?!!
Plus, I really would like it to be steamworks instead of Rockstar Social Club, as far as DRM goes.

Well, given that I actually HAVE the physical copy of the game, Pat was just suggesting I get a pirated copy as a workaround for being too lazy to install a DVD drive (seriously, the drive is sitting there on the shelf, just waiting to be put in the case and plugged in), but I could still use my own CD key and whatnot so that it would be a "legit" copy, and I'd still get all that stuff. Albeit with the same thing I said before about it using Rockstar Social Club instead of steamworks.
Okay, but I was addressing the "it's still full price even though it's 2 years old" complaint from Frank. I probably should have quoted his post.
