Game bargains thread

[Captain Poodle Basher]

I just realised I currently have PS Plus so it's still showing £2.99 for me.

The GOTY version has everything on it including the extra missions - the Deluxe one, IIRC, just has extra weapons and armour and nothing else. I got the GOTY for €8.99 the other day.

That's a better deal. I ended up getting Thumper instead. I'm tempted to get the probably rubbish Godzilla game for £4 before the sale ends.

Thumper <3<3<3
one of my favourite games of all time

[Penfold]

I like it so far, only done the first level. Not sure whether to try it again for better ratings or move ahead to level 2.

I was in the mode for a game that would make my eyes go weird after playing Amplitude and Rock Band Blitz at the weekend.

Definitely move forward, the game doesn't overtly show you extra little techniques to maximise score, you sorta figure that out for yourself as you go through it. Definitely play through then come back with your new techniques and marvel at how good you are at the early levels. I've S ranked the first 6 levels, though for some reason it didn't give me the level 6 S rank :(

Payday 2 is going free for a while.

[Van Dammage]

Killing floor 2 free on ps plus for a month. Usually 40 quid.

Not a game but Humble currently has a bundle with the rather good digital illustrator Corel Painter Essentials 5 which comes with the Particle Shop brush plug in and Corel's photo manipulator AfterShot 3. Combined they make for a pretty solid alternative to Photoshop, what it loses in features it more than makes up for in user friendliness. Certainly I much prefer drawing in it than in Photoshop where its so feature dense and complicated that one wrong button press and suddenly your blue paint is drawing orange and every pencil stroke is being saved as a seperate layer.

Usual price for the three is around $120. Now on Humble Bundle for $10. Its a couple years old now but when Photoshop costs $15 a month and the newest Corel Painter 2017 costs $350 you can see that $10 for bundle is a pretty good deal.

Steam sale has started, some nice indie games going very cheap and Doom is only £10

[biggytitbo]

Dishonoured an absurd £1.99 on steam.

[Phil_A]

No Man's Sky down 60%, now only £15.99! Might actually be worth a punt at that price?

[Penfold]

Yep.

According to a PlayStation email I put in over 100 hours into whatever it was, and that was before the two updates that added more stuff.

I still like it. I think there are more updates to come. Probably free, they made money.

[biggytitbo]

Half life 1, 2 and the episodes all going for less than a quid on steam.

Bargain at twice the price. I've just snapped it up on Steam - even though I already have it on PS4 but regrettably never finished it due to me being shit at console FPS games. I'm finding it much better with the mouse & keyboard combo I'm used to.

Plus, although it was an amazing looking PS4 game, on PC with maxed out graphics and unwavering 75FPS (my laptop's screen is a fairly weird 75Hz G-Sync jobbie) it's stunning.

I just rebought Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on PS4 for £5 in-store at Tesco, not sure if it's nationwide or my local store just had a lot of copies. They also had Dishonored 2 for £10 but is it really twice as good as Deus Ex?

[Viero_Berlotti]

The PS4 Godzilla game is currently £3.99 until 19-07-17.

It's not a great game by any means (definitely one for the broken game mechanics thread), but at that price it's probably worth it if you're a Kaiju fan. The monster models and sound fx are probably the best thing about the game.

Baws, I just bought Day o'Sex from Game for a tenner. I also bought Dishonoured 2 because I liked Prey- Game have it on offer for a tenner under their big Prey display.

I already have Doom and am still rubbish at it. It'd be a bargain at twice the price because it'll probably take me three years to finish the campaign.

I've just been having a blast playing this actually, it's not that bad. I can understand why (spoilt) modern gamers probably thought this wasn't good enough and hence the terrible reviews, but for me it really does nail the feeling of the Toho films. Yes, the controls are clunky but you are meant to be controlling a giant hulking monster not some 7 stone fleet footed ninja. The evolution mode looks promising, it seems as if you can unlock extra moves for all the monsters, which are very limited at the beginning. So hopefully that will add a little depth. It seems worth the £3.99 so far, not sure I'd feel the same if I'd paid £40 for it though.

Amazon's Prime sale (on until the end of today, for Prime members only, but you could always do the free trial thing and cancel it later) has some good deals on consoles and bundles, and PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold membership and the EA Access pass for a bit less than usual:

DMC, Dead Rising 2, Resident Evil 0 and 1 HD and Resident Evil 6 (and Umbrella Corps so its not all good) for 5 quid is a good bargain in anyones money.

Telltale Humble Bundle on atm; Walking Dead for $1, looks like damn near everything other than the most recent releases will be on the beat the average group.

$1
Sam & Max: Season 1
Sam & Max: Season 2
Puzzle Agent 1
Puzzle Agent 2
Bone - Episode 1 & Episode 2
Hector: Badge of Carnage
Telltale Texas Hold'em
Poker Night at the Inventory

Beat the Average
The Walking Dead: Michonne

[More to be added on Tuesday, I'd imagine this'll include at least one of their more acclaimed games and probably an alluring franchise too]

$15
Batman - The Telltale Series
Minecraft: Story Mode
Minecraft: Story Mode - Adventure Pass



I've never played the walking dead games and I really liked Firewatch so I suppose I'll get on that at least. Is tales from the borderlands any good without playing the actual borderlands games?

Green Man Gaming summer sale on. Flash sales every few hours.
https://www.greenmangaming.com/es/

Current best deal Resident Evil 7 40% off.

Theres a bonus 15% off if you use the Summer2017 coupon.

Aside: Interestingly you can buy Dungeon Siege for Steam on there which is still bizarrely unavailable on Steam's own store. I have no idea why but there it is.

[LanceUppercut]

As above Deus ex mankind divided day one edition is a fiver delivered for the Xbox one and PS4 from Tesco.

Lots of game there for a fiver

Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition is £4 on PS4 and has all the DLC.

I think if you already own it the season pass is also free is you have xbox Live or PS Plus.

[BeardFaceMan]

I was looking at this, is is multiplayer only or is there single player stuff too?

[Penfold]

There's no single player campaign, so it's bot matches and some challenge matches where you fight waves of enemies. I think the main annoying thing was you can't level up your character without playing online but I can't remember how that affected unlocking gear. I might be wrong about that though, it's been ages since I first played it and I'm waiting for it to download at the moment.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy PS4 Only £3.99 @ CD Keys. Digital Download. £11.99 on PSN.

Decent game but plays the same as the PS3 version.
