Seconded!

Minty · 12-Jul-2012, 23:32

Is it bad that I already own pretty much every game listed there that I would actually want to play, including the ones in the packs?

BBW · 13-Jul-2012, 00:16

Just can't get my head around a downloadable content "sale"...

No!

And bah! I wanted Witcher 2 ;(

Minty · 13-Jul-2012, 02:09

I got that one off gog.com on release day. DRM free with an absolute fuckton of free shit like the soundtrack and an artbook, plus free updates for life. CD Projekt RED really are the fucking daddies.

Chef_uk · 13-Jul-2012, 02:49

Damn this sale. Just got Saint's Row The Third - 75% Off - £7.49 in the flash sale. This better not be a start of things to come lol

It's where they sell downloadable content at a reduced price. It's also apparent that you can't get your head around quotation marks. You can google those.

BBW · 13-Jul-2012, 09:43

What's wrong with my quotation marks?

My point was that it's not like they have surplus stock lying around that they want to shift, it's all the same on a server regardless of how old it is.

Really thought you were done being a cunt tbh.

Inertiaman · 13-Jul-2012, 10:14

You weren't quoting anyone. You were using quotation marks to imply belittlement.

Your point seems to assume digital content works like high street retail. Where retail wants to move end of line, digital wants to reduce prices after demand drops to reincentivize purchases without cannibalising the initial premium sales. It's not even a new concept and far from a hard one to understand.

Publisher gets more money

The long tail of the customer base gets a cheap premium title

Everyone happy apart from you

Classic example of the technique and one that put 30k in each of the devs pockets in a week a year after the games launch.

It's a scare quote. Google it.

Actually, in the case of selling 3rd party content they often buy a bulk amount of CD keys for the content rather than on an individual basis. A sale would help them clear their surplus.

But it's a sale. There's no semantic argument. There are games. Cheap cheap games. You can buy them. It's a Cheap Game Sale.

Eja Cool8 · 13-Jul-2012, 15:22

Zat ist ein lot of games.

I don't know why I came over all German there.

Ahh, there was a German girl in the building I'd like to come all over.

That'll be it

aird · 13-Jul-2012, 15:52

Nothings really interesting me in the sale at the mo

Minty · 13-Jul-2012, 15:55

Aye its pretty enjoyable. Never managed to muster up the motivation to complete it, but the combat is fun and the world seems to be pretty large. Ive certainly got a fair few hours out of it, even without completing.

Gah, tempted by LA Noire but put off by all the dreadful reviews of the port, anyone have it for PC?

RockWhore · 13-Jul-2012, 20:29

I got it a while ago when it was on another offer. I've only played about an hour of it though but didn't notice any massive issues. Mind you I don't know what the reviewers were saying.

Minty · 13-Jul-2012, 20:30

Yeah and I dont think its a bad port at all, but I play on a 360 pad anyway. Oh, the frame rate is limited to 30fps though. Other than that, I really enjoy it.
