    In case you're curious about Assassin's Creed, all the games save Revelations are 75% off - Revelations itself is only 50%. Also, none of Revelation's DLC is discounted. AT ALL.

    It's a bit confusing, so here's the link on Steam.

    And here's the link to the Canadian Indie Bundle.

    OK, question. Does anyone know anything about this 'Hamlet or the Last Game Without MMORPG Features, Shaders and Product Placement' thing that popped up yesterday? Because I am seriously tempted to grab it, if just for the name alone. It actually looks quite charming. Anyone heard of it or know about it?
  • edited October 2012
    I agree. It looks pretty nice. I don't know anything about it, and I couldn't find any real reviews of it, but it's also on BigFishGames.com, so you could play it for an hour there before deciding whether or not you want to get it on Steam. If you do, let us know what you think of it.

    I'd never heard of it until it went up yesterday, and that's probably because it seems to be a port of a mobile game*, you probably aren't going to find someone here who knows about it. It seems to be free on mobile platforms, I'm not sure if that's ad-supported or involves microtransactions or if it's just free?

    *I don't really follow mobile gaming because being on a mid-range Android device for the past few years has sort of cut me off from that space.

    Hamlet was reviewed over at AdventureGamers when it came out quite some time ago:

    I think that subtitle is new, which is why you might not have found much about it

    Thanks guys. I'm thinking I'll give it a pass unless it goes on sale proper.

    EDIT - Daily Deal:

    capsule_467x181.jpg

    £2.67(ish) / $3.39 / €3.39

    It's very much inspired by Cannon Fodder, though not as good, and is actually worth getting at this price.

    Somewhat interestingly, today's Daily Deal is:

    capsule_467x181.jpg

    £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99

    The Weekend Deal:

    spotlight_image_english.png

    Both games are also 75% off, which makes them £3.24 and £3.74 respectively, or 4.99 each in other currencies, or a flat £5.74 / $7.49 / €7.49 for the pair.

    And for something completely different, I present possibly the clunkiest name for something I've ever seen:
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier Arctic Strike DLC.

    I would have bought Deponia but Daedalic pissed me off twice this year with their Steam releases. They will not get my money for at least the rest of the year.
  • edited October 2012
    Other Weekend Deal:

    spotlight_image_english.png

    It's a good game. DEFINITELY worth trying.
  • edited October 2012
    hmmm... sounds like Marble Madness or Super Monkey Ball to me.

    Not really my kind of game.

    WTF is... Rock of Ages. Give it a watch - you might be surprised.

    Daily Deal:

    capsule_467x181.jpg

    £1.74 / $2.49 / €2.49. And no, I've never heard of it either.
  • edited October 2012
    I think it was in one of the indiebundles I never bought.

    Daily Deal:

    capsule_231x87.jpg and capsule_231x87.jpg

    £1.74 / £2.49 / €2.49 and £2.99 / $3.74 / €3.74 respectively. The second one won't play on WinXP or lower.

    As far as I know, Rayman Origins has no DRM (I know the Steam version can launch without Steam running and with no internet connection, and Ubisoft used the lack of DRM as a selling point when the PC version was announced).

    A browse of the internet reveals no-one reporting it as a Steam redeemable option.

    Here's the full list of special offers at Get Games. Most don't activate on Steam though, FYI.

    EDIT: Working late tonight - Daily Deal's gonna be up a bit late.
  • edited October 2012
    I'm not even going to tell you the price of today's deal. You don't want it any way. Seriously. Don't.

    Oh fuckballs. It looks like Steam's having a Halloween sale. This will not be fun.

    I'm just gonna post the best deals, rather than all of them, so bear with me. This'll take a while.

    First up, the Daily Deal:

    capsule_467x181.jpg

    £1.99 / $2.99 / €2.99.

    Now for the best Halloween deals, all of which can be seen here:

    Alice: Madness Returns - 75% off
    Dead Rising 2 - 75% off
    Dead Space 2 - 75% off
    Killing Floor - 75% off
    Prototype 2 - 50% off
    The Darkness 2 - 75% off
    The Walking Dead - 40% off

    There's almost 60 titles on offer in total, so check 'em out.

    God this sale sucks. A ton of games I already have, a few that are unavailable (without me caring too much) and a lot of bad games on sale.
    I was so hoping for a Nancy Drew game that hasn't been on sale yet.

    bought:
    Home
    They Bleed Pixels
  • edited October 2012
    I'm looking at DLC for games I already own - Dungeon Defenders & Magicka, specifically. They're all at 75% off - apart from the recently released Dungeons & Daemons Magicka DC - so it's actually sort-of worth it now.

    EDIT: Oh wait, I already own them all. Well, shit. This might be the first major sale where I don't actually buy anything. That just seems wrong somehow.

    Already got Home from an Indie Royale bundle.

    In fact, I've got it from the current Indie Royale bundle.

    The Walking Dead - 40% off

    Yoink.
  • edited October 2012
    Also I'd like to point out that if you own Divinity II: Dragon Knight Saga on steam, then you get a free copy of Divinity 2: Developer's Cut. (At least I did... >_>)
    It shows up as a seperate title though, so I'm redownloading it. (Good thing I didn't stat the game then! XD)
  • edited October 2012
    Oh yeah! When'd that show up?

    EDIT: It was today, as evidenced by everyone else on Steam going "why do I have this?". The reason for that is because the rest f the Divinity series has been released on Steam, which is probably why there was a 'pay what you want' offer on GOG not long ago.

    Oh, no, wait - it's because that 'pay what you want' offer happened that I won't be getting the rest of the series on Steam. My bad!

    No one posted the daily deal yet?

    header_292x136.jpg

    €3,24 / £2.49 / $3.74.

    Looks like a very generic action game to me, but it's got a metascore of 77/100, so it can't be all bad I guess.
  • edited October 2012
    Sorry, got offered some overtime at the last minute. Work's not been very good with hours lately. Half term and only 8 staff throughout the day? Yeah, someone screwed up there.

    Sounds obvious, but there's no Midweek Madness due to the (rather lacklustre, to be honest) Halloween Sale.

    Thanks. Keep forgetting to say if/when I'm gonna be back later than normal. I should be good for tomorrow.

    A deal I only noticed today (possibly because it's new?) is The Halloween Adventure Pack.

    Freaking have been waiting for this forever.

    Also, I already have almost all games on the Halloween Adventure Pack. Guess which one I'm missing?

    Hint: It starts with Kaptain and ends with Brawe.

    didn't notice it because it is not in the German store. I own all of the games though.

    Hang on...

    ...nope, there it is, in the 'Half-Life' category. Phew. REALLY didn't feel like getting punched.

    EDIT: Just noticed that Postal 2 Complete is now available. I'd buy it, but I already own it twice, so...
    More importantly though - HOW THE HELL DOES THIS COUNT AS AN INDIE GAME, STEAM?
