Green Man Gaming (Steam) Deals: 25% Off Hitman

What time do the deals change, I thought it was 12pm Eastern but several times now it's been off. I must have it wrong.

I guess it's one hour earlier than I thought.

If anyone picks up the Bioshock Infinite bundle, and doesn't want NBA 2K13, let me know! Missed the sales on it a couple weeks ago.

Have PayPal, Amazon and Steam Wallet at my disposal.

Got a couple minutes left to debate on GRID. Dirt trilogy would be cheaper if the bundle goes on sale on Steam, even with the 20% voucher, but I don't think GRID or FUEL will get cheaper.

 
Scribblenauts -75% (7.49)

Overlord 2 -75% (2.49)

They Bleed Pixels -75% (2.49)

Bastion -75% (2.49)

Forge -75% (4.99)

DLC Quest -50% (1.49)

Extra voucher 10% off.

And some extra codemasters games on discount, all the Overlords, Rise of the Argonauts, Operation Flashpoint, Jericho, Maelstrom, and Hospital Tycoon

Seems like They Bleed Pixels trading cards are selling for okay prices lately. Not sure if it's worth the gamble, I would only buy it if I could break even by selling cards.

8 cards, 4 drops, look like they sell for around $0.66 - $1.17. Minus the fees, worst case scenario you should break even, if they actually sell

This is actually a new low for They Bleed Pixels as until recently the game was $14.99. I say get it just for its own sake, it's a cool game.

 
I'm taking the gamble for the TCGs and prices for the cards are dropping. If you are going just to make your money back I'd advise against the gamble. That being said, I am finding myself oddly enjoying, so even if I don't break even I won't lose any sleep over the purchase.

 
I'm going for it, even managed to find the Paypal setting to charge me in the seller's local currency. Had to dig through several different menus to find that, they really hide it. Hopefully I get a better exchange rate this time vs what Paypal gave me yesterday.

Is this what gambling feels like? Oh what a rush.

Well, jumped on TBP because of the cards and now they're tanking and not selling. I only spent 25 cents on the game though after credit, so I guess I can't complain.

Damn all of you for crashing the TBP market!

Eh, I just leave my cards up at the price that seems right. They'll sell eventually. I had four Sanctum 2 cards sell today for my asking price from different people that I listed a week ago. Market fluctuates and eventually comes back around.

I picked this up during the last winter sale for $2.49. That being said, definitely worth it if you like action-platformers.

Also, looking for cheap cards from this one. :D

Just one... I just want one great deal to bring back that loving sale feeling.

I'm sitting here like a withdrawing coke addict coming to GMG for my fix and they're going through the house saying "No.. wait... how about baby powder? Will baby powder work?... Wait... how about corn starch?... Gold Bond?...Will Gold Bond work?..."

You just wanna see the site crash again. :joystick:

 
I feel ya Syntax. Winter sale Steam was really meh, but at least we had some good deals from GMG and Amazon (and some epic price fails from GG, for those lucky enough to get in on them)

So far, GMG has been lack luster, Amazon tells you their deals up front and nothing caught my eye. Come on, I need either GMG or Steam to really step up to the plate.

 
Has They Bleed Pixels been in any bundles? I'm considering it, but worry that I already bought it somewhere.

IIRC that's the lowest I've seen GRID & Fuel.

After reading your recommendations I bought both GRID & Fuel from GMG earlier. It seemed natural not to pass up these titles for $3 and $2 respectively. Thanks for convincing me. :)

I have Dirt 2 but have only played it with a kb+m, which didn't work well. Now that I have a Xbox 360 wireless controller I might have to dive back in sooner rather than later.

GRID & Dirt 2 are a wonderful combination.

I really couldn't imagine playing any decent racing game with KB/M. Contoller is the right choice for most. Only hardcore sim stronly benefits from wheel/pedals.

Copied from my old post:


Okay, so I got sick of not being able to answer inquiries about FUEL... so I spent several hours with it yesterday... I'm only a few hours in so this is a little provisional, but I doubt more time would change what I have to say.

Fuel is not a bad racing game. It has a fairly standard arcade physics model. Racing includes dirt bikes, quads, cars (and possibly more). There are two bits that are fairly unique to Fuel. (1) Most races are checkpoint races, but there is no set path you have to stay on, you can take any path you choose. Which leads to (2) there seems to be three basic types of surfaces you can drive on: asphalt, trail, & wilderness. Different vehicles are better (faster is seems) on different surfaces, driving through wilderness is definitely speed-penalized. This means that it's up to you to choose how much to shortcut though wilderness and how much to stay on road/trail. I like this mechanic.

Open World: Yes it seems to be huge open world (without a much variation in the areas I've been to). However getting across the open world is slow and uninteresting. Fortunately you don't have to, races & challenges are all menu accessible (enter and leave a race to shortcut across the map). There seem to be discoverable stuff like liveries in the open world bit. I however believe atm that the open world bit is best skipped, if there were vehicles/performance parts I could put up with it. I now understand why some optional parts of the Refueled mod seem to be cheat-like discoverable unlocks... I'd be tempted... I hate cheating, but if the alternative is sh*t it's on the table.

Technically: Well it's based on some engine I've never seen before. Technically the graphics are okay, not deplorable, not likeable. 4x MSAA doesn't help with aliasing as much as it should (but it does affect performance), I turned off in-game AA and used SweetFX to add in SMAA to my satisfaction. I'm running at 1920x1200 on a Phenom II X3 720 BE OC'd at 3.2 GHz and an OC'd GTX 660 (overkill for any 2009 game). While my framerate is acceptable, it sometime dips to the low 50s without being at 100% CPU or GPU load (I never seem to hit 100% CPU or GPU load in Fuel).

Other tips: You can try any Career race at three difficulty levels: LOL, Seriously?!?, and Putting up a Fight, each level rewards more fuel (currency). "Challenges" are races in different formats that don't have a difficulty selection but aren't any more challenging... but they reward a nice amount of fuel.. don't pass them up.

TL;DR Decent arcade racer. Avoid the open world abyss.

Edit: I'd also add that I'm tempted to try some SweetFX filters to spice up the visuals... I'm not generally a fan of such filters.. but it might give Fuel some needed visual pop.

Edit2: SecuROM + GFWL fyi.
