Still need to beat RE4, but that can be arranged.

Amazon will give you a discount on video games as long as you buy some soap.

Hint.

Dead Island GOTY $5 through Amazon, activates on Steam.

Garbage of the Year?

It takes some serious hubris to brand that game with a GOTY label.

Brentai · « **Reply #684 on:** April 04, 2013, 10:19:32 PM »

At some point GOTY just started meaning "with all the expansions". I assume marketing is okay with this because they like to imply that the game won an award somewhere in something besides one of their nephews' e-zines.

Esperath · « **Reply #685 on:** April 04, 2013, 10:27:50 PM »

Ha, looks like someone called it GOTY, at least.

I heard the game was messed up on launch, but since it's a PC game, I'm curious if they ever got that shit sorted out. Any good these days?

I liked it and didn't have any problems with it.

All Star Wars games are 66% off this weekend, whether purchased individually or as a package.

Good timing for me, given that I'm almost done with KOTOR and hadn't bought KOTOR II yet.

EDIT: The offer's only on for another hour or so, so FYI.

Mass Effect 3 free after rebate

Brentai · « **Reply #691 on:** May 07, 2013, 02:01:46 AM »

Still requires an Origin account despite being a physical copy, but that seems to be the only DRM (and is probably enough for a lot of people).

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #692 on:** May 07, 2013, 02:06:26 AM »

For the record: Origin is shitty for various reasons, but it will not break anything.

Classic · « **Reply #693 on:** May 07, 2013, 02:10:48 AM »

My definition of "break" includes introducing security vulnerabilities to my machine when we're talking about software I already don't like.

If we are going to bring up issues that were already fixed, oh hey guys Steam opens my computer up to hackers! This is also where I would put the equivalent link for Uplay as well, but no one cares about it.

Classic · « **Reply #695 on:** May 07, 2013, 03:44:01 AM »

That the vulnerability is essentially the same as a steam vulnerability is mentioned in the Ars Technica article. Though I'd be interested in reading about how EA fixed the problem if I didn't have to google it myself.

Smiler · « **Reply #696 on:** May 07, 2013, 05:25:11 AM »

Seeing as I can't find anything that confirms that either ever fixed the vulnerability, who knows. Probably patched in some blacklists so that buttfuck.tk can't launch steam/origin.

Brentai · « **Reply #697 on:** May 11, 2013, 06:18:21 AM »

Wait, so System Shock 2 is on Steam now too? Does it have the same compatibility enhancements as GOG or what? I've had pretty limited success with older games on Steam.

Smiler · « **Reply #698 on:** May 11, 2013, 06:28:35 AM »

It should run just fine. The only thing different is that the GoG version came with SS2Tool pre-installed, and I think due to a problem stopped including it a few days after launch.

Brentai · « **Reply #699 on:** May 20, 2013, 07:01:30 AM »

Anybody who cares probably already knows, but On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Part 3 is now free.

Google it, I'm not gonna wrestle my phone to link something that should be easy to find.
