Their BioShock sale was good, but I didn't post it here since I think everyone has it already.

Well, I have the original and Infinite

It was on Infinite. They had BS & BS2 but those were Mac only as only Infinite is Steamworks.

Bioshock 2 is $2.78 from the Brazilian software flea market if you're so inspired. Which you likely are not but now my conscience is clean.

I'm not. TBH, I didn't like 1 very much, haven't gotten around to trying out Infinite.

Well, my two biggest games to look for were Wasteland 2 and Divinity: Original Sin. And... discounts on both sucked so I guess I'm waiting for the Summer Sale.

I was disappointed that Invisible Inc didn't win the Community choice. I'm not 100% sure I would have bought it anyway for only 40% off, but it would have made me think of it.

The one that won was the only one of the three that wasn't an Early Access title, but was also the worst reviewed of the three. Smiley: frown

Saint's Row 4 and Transistor were the only two games that I was looking at this sale. I bought both. I wouldn't mind a decent deal on Divinity, but it's too new right now to expect anything better for awhile yet.

I'm still on the fence about Transistor -- guess I have 44 hours still to decide. I'm not keen on the 66% but I've barely bought anything else either.

I thought Wasteland 2 was a daily before but I was wrong. So there's still hope for that.

Transistor was a lot harder than Bastion, at least for me. It seemed very unforgiving, even on normal difficulty. And the whole, losing your functions things as you died was a bit much. I think you'd just restart at that moment because losing the functions sucked.

The function system was pretty cool, and of course the art, story, music, etc.

This. Was there even an added discount on wasteland? It was barely perceptible if so.

Joph's favorite Brazilian site (besides the "other" one) has the new Civ5: Space Edition for $24.

Also the first Shadows of Modor DLC "Lord of the Hunt" is $5, which is 50% of the current U.S. price.

Yeah, I thought that might be tempting but... nah. I'll get it for 66% off in the spring or something.

Aliens: Colonial Marines was pulled from Steam. Quick, go find a copy at Amazon or Gamersgate before this work of gaming art is lost forever! Go go go!

Picked it up for pennies on Amazon either last Summer or last Winter during some big sales.

I wonder why it was pulled from Steam?

It was probably affecting sales, since it appears before Isolation in the search results.

Aliens vs Predator 2010 is gone as well. I'd guess they just let the license on them lapse since the games weren't making any money.

If you are into that sort of thing, Amazon still has it for sale for 66% off ($5.09)

There are reports of Origin accounts being accessed and dozens of games bought on them. If you have an account you may want to check your Order History, and turn on two-step authentication in the Security section of the account screen.

Also Dark Souls 2 (game only, not DLC) is $15 again on Steam. You may want to grab it this time Tirith, as the GOTY edition won't be out till May.

Hey, someone put this terrible Crusader: No Remorse game on my Origin account!

I got Watchdogs on sale for cheap for the PS4 (impulse buy, but it was $19.99, which I think is cheaper than it's been on PC yet). But the "exclusive DLC code" for the PS4 content expired on 10/14.

So much for that. Kind of a quick expiration date on a voucher... you win this round Ubi...


My Origin account appears to be safe. The only "orders" in my list for all of 2014 are a handful of free games.

Watchdogs hasn't gone below $20 for the PC yet. Well, maybe it has if you get some shady G2A games code or something, I dunno. I understand that it's pretty much the same across PC and the PS4/X1 platforms so no reason not to save money.

I bought a used copy from Gamefly for my kid and noticed the same thing about the expired PS "exclusive content" code. Pretty lame but oh well.

I didn't know Origin even had a "Steamguard" style option so found it and turned it on. Thanks for the tip, Shaowstrike.
