Everyone on GMG spam newsletter list received, like me, this e-mail offer:

Head to Nexus, the prosperous but dangerous planet of WildStar™, and make it your own by defeating a batch of fierce creatures or other players driven by the same goal.

Choose your path now and create your own adventure by pre-ordering this game with the 25% voucher below:

This voucher is specifically for you JoxerTM22 so it's only usable by your very good self. This discount won't stick around for long though as it ends at 16:00 UTC, April 22nd 2014.

And www.greenmangaming.com is currently down.
Till it gets back, I would like to know if someone tried this game and as I'm not buying ESO ever, is Wildstar worth a shot or it's yet another classic MMO "we simply suck at story telling, we can't code a proper AI, bugs are not bugs but features and our games are neverending beta - so we can't make SP games" milkem-and-run grinder?

Amalur is 6€ on Steam this weekend:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/102500/
I have it on Origin but satill didn't give it a shot so dunno if this price is good. All I know about that game is that it respawns both mobs and lootable containers. Endlessly. Although that is a description of a all same all clone MMORPG game, Amalur is a singleplayer game.

A word of warning for those who will, like me, avoid Origin and buy a Bioware Points key on key reseller sites.
DO NOT USE THE CODE IN ORIGIN MALWARE.

Luckily, I was warned about it - instead of 1600, Origin grants you "only" 1100 or 1200 points for whatever reason.
You should use bioware social network, it works properly (profile-redeem promo code):
https://social.bioware.com/redeem_code.php
After you use the code there, Origin malware will have correct amount of 1600 BP.

I'm not telling BS, just spotted this (I don't speak german, but it smells like the same problem):
http://forum.bioware.com/topic/502342-bioware-punkte-fehlen/?hl=+origin#entry16440879
If I'm right, he used 3 codes to get 1600 each, but received only 3x1200 BP.

Ubisoft may be more evil than EA, but at least they don't do stuff like this to customers.

Anyway… Where to buy… Since on Origin you have to pay 16€for 1600 points and on Go2arena.com they're out of stock…
Not sure. I used also this site, you get the key in a few hours via e-mail after the purchase and it works (current price is 15€, I got the lower price in the past):

Not done for today!

You need a jacket from your favorite game? ME3?
jacket-me-n7leather-lifestyle.jpg

Prepurchase it here:
http://www.biowarestore.com/apparel/jackets/n7-leather-jacket.html
Material? Lambskin. They skin animals in ME world for clothes in case you didn't know. Also you get a free hoodie by buying this, the pic is not available, you'll receive it without seeing how does it look. Yea, in Mass Effect everyone wears hoodies.
The price? I don't dare to say.

Look guys. I bought N7 jacket replica before and lemme show you the pic I took this very moment with my (at least it has a use) iPhone:
34ry4wz.jpg


You want to see a selfie? No, sorry, I'm not a facebook creep.
Anyway, no animal was killed for it, from Pakistan to Croatia it travelled just a few days (unlike shipments from USA that I usually wait for over a month), and online store that sells it is:
http://www.celebsclothing.com/products/Mass-Effect-3-Leather-Jacket.html

As you can spot it's not 100% as the one in the game, but keep in mind that if it was, there would be legal actions. The differences (sleeves ends, different N7 symbol, lack of one horizontal stripe) however are pretty much unnoticable if you don't look closely.
I'm unsure what is Bioware trying to do with "the real thing" price, IMO it is abnormal.

Or, send me a quid and I'll email you an Excel spreadsheet in which a meaningless number increments each time you click the mouse.

Your loss then I found the game enjoyable. I think it's time to replay the game once again. I find myself liking games that everyone regularly says not to.

I find that applies to movies also.:)

Anyway after 50 sales posts on this thread your the first to reply congratulations.:celebrate:Usually no one says anything , and it makes me a sad potato.:'(

Yep, if you enjoyed it, more power to you. There's a lot of time to be spent in Amalur. I just found little actual game. But viva la difference!

Firefly.com? Never heard of it.

It's however on sale (less than 2€) on Fireflower:
http://fireflowergames.com/shop/ring-runner-flight-of-the-sages/

I'm not sure about this virus warning problem and also don't want to buy this game (the 6th screenshot is utter rubbish and I don't want to see things like that on my machine ever) so can't help you there.

If you live in Germany and are looking for the Risen 1 Collector's Edition : Ask employees of the Saturn chain. I saw another specimen of that for 10 Euros a few weeks ago in another Saturn store (it was in Solingen, the town famous for cutlery & blades), but forgot to post it here. This leads me to the assumption that there might still be other specimens of that lying around in some Saturn chain shops.

Far Cry 1&2 on GOG, means DRMfree, only today are 2.5€ each:
http://www.gog.com/promo/gem_promo_far_cry_12_210414

----

While I never bought those two games reading about too much of respawns, I can however recommend jumping on GMG and getting deluxe edition of Far Cry 3 for 7.5€:
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/hr/en/pc/games/shooter/far-cry-3-deluxe-edition/

It's a shooter. You hate shooters? Forget all those yuck games they sold you under "shooter" label and made you hate the genre. This is not a shooter like any of those. This is what a shooter should look like. Don't pass this opportunity to buy it on such good price.
If nothing grab it just to see what that crytek engine is capable of compared to other open world engines (and games). Yes, enjoying visuals in this game made me I feel like a graphics whore.
Oh, you hate respawns more than me? And the game has mobrespawns? Don't worry. Mobs don't respawn too often, and there is mechanics to stop respawning completely in areas (liberating bases).

Sadly, uPlay is required, but it's really no reason to skip this game.

FarCry 2 is close too, if not the worst offender for respawns ever.

I really, really like the setting, but that respawning effectively killed the game for me.
And I've tried to play the game on several occasions.
Makes me a sad panda when I think about it.

about Far Cry 3, I concur with joxer, buy it, play it.

Same here for Far Cry 2, respawns at check points killed the game for me, and there was no urgency in the game to follow the story.

Beautiful game engine (Dunia engine - which by the way means 'living world' in arabic), derived from original Cryengine, but bad game design.

There is a Humble Sale on Kalypso games, and in there is 'TDE Demonicon' … is it worth getting for $14?

https://www.humblebundle.com/store/...ail&utm_term=0_990b1b6399-3839e5bb01-93318381

IMO it is.
It's a good game, although not rich with TDE options like Drakensang. But it has some social skills integrated unlike Blackguards. Your character is predetermined and unlike those two games you can't change your class.
It makes saves on "hotspots", you can't save anywhere as you don't have additional playstation chip for saves on your PC in the year 2014., for such option you'll have to wait for year 2104. You may force gamesave on area transition so it's forgivable annoyance.
I can't remember now if it contains endless respawns, but if it does, it's not some annoyable amount as I wouldn't say only nicest things about this game. ;)
Buy it.
