Telltale Games

*Darth Marsden* · 03/08/2012, 09:21 am

Today's Daily Deal is Prototype. Fun, but still a little pricey at £7.49 / $14.99.
(not properly converted, but since the UK comes out on top, I won't complain for once, yay)

Also a couple of other deals, so pay attention!

First up is another Daily Deal, of sorts. Football Manager 2012, which is 60% off for yourself OR 75% off if you buy it as a gift for someone else and you already own the game.

Confusing, right? Well, the 66% off bit I can give prices for - £7.99 / $11.99. Can't tell you the 75% off Giftable price, since I don't actually own it (and nor do I want it, I hate football), but take another buck or two off the price and you won't be that far off.

The other offer is the 2K Games Weekend. I'm guessing this is the actual Weekend Deal. Or I could be wrong. Who knows? A different deal every day until Monday, with the entire 2K collection having some form of random discount. Woo randomness, I guess.

Today's Deal is the Borderlands series. I won't do prices since there's DLC and four-packs and GotY editions and whatnot, but basically everything Borderlands related is 75% off, so if you don't already have it and are interested (and I confidently predict that by this point no-one falls under that category), then go check it out.

I will point out a few random 2K titles that have some form of discount, though I wouldn't recommend buying them now. Wait until Sunday - that way you can see if any of them get any further discounts over the weekend.

Anyway, current deals include:

Bioshock 1 / 2 - 50% off
Duke Nukem Forever series - 50% off
Freedom Force series - 50% off
Mafia series - 50% off
Sid Meier's Civilization V series - 50% off
THE DARKNESS 2 - 25% off (hasn't that just come out?)
X-Com series - 50% off (make sure you get the pack if you're interested, it's basically 5 for the price of 3)

Gamers Gate is having a weekend sale on the Deus Ex Franchise, of which Deus Ex: Human Revolution will redeem on Steam, and the cheapest I've seen it.

Deus Ex Collection $17.49 (all three DE games, plus all DLC for DE:HR)
DE: HR $7.49
DE: HR Augmented Edition $9.99
DE: HR Missing Link DLC $3.75
other DLC $0.50 - $1.00

The other Deus Ex games are on sale as well, but they won't redeem on Steam.

Buy now.
Ignore the tactical pack as it is only a few useless weapons. Explosive missions pack maybe as it does contain a new mission. Missing Link is more of the game, so buy.

Just in case anyone actually wants to know the price with 75% off is £4.99 (obviously don't know US price but would guess it's around $7.49).

Borderlands is probably worth picking up if you like FPS games, though it's a bit on the repetitive side. And the DLC is basically free since the GOTY edition is the same price as the normal game.

Ribs · 03/08/2012, 06:06 pm

Borderlands is probably one of my favorite games of the past five years. Definitely my favorite of those I've played in 2009 and a high-ranking game on my top so-and-so games ever. So yes. Buy it. A truly fantastic game, with a roughly 50 hour total playthrough time with all the DLCs included. Well worth the investment.

Alcoremortis · 03/08/2012, 06:11 pm

I played about an hour or two of Borderlands when I first got it and I do intend to go back to it eventually, after I've finished all these hundred hour RPGs that I've got all stacked up all over the place.

F U, Steam!

I bought this at full price a few weeks back with a 10% off coupon I got from my brother, really sucks when that happens. :P

*Darth Marsden* · 03/09/2012, 04:37 am

Dude, Borderlands is always going on sale.

Wait, wasn't one of those coupons from the X-Mas Sale, was it?

Chyron8472 · 03/09/2012, 05:27 am

I find it amusing (and eye-rolling, tbh) that the actual Steam sale says 75% off the Borderlands franchise, when all this really applies to is 2 versions of one game (standard and GOTY), their respective 4-pack bundles, and all applicable DLC.

That's it. It's one game, not a franchise.

Steam's standard wording for "This sale applies to more than one item" has been "franchise" for awhile now.

*Darth Marsden* · 03/09/2012, 09:09 am

Today's Daily Deal is the Hector series. All three episodes for £4.37 / $4.99. Pretty damn good for that price.

Today's 2K Deal is the Mafia series. 75% off the lot, and that includes the DLC for Mafia II.

Johro · 03/09/2012, 09:22 am

The Mafia series was already on a 50% sale. That's pretty odd.

All the 2K games are 50% off, and they're rotating the games that are 75% off each day. i.e. Borderlands is still on sale, just not by as much. It is a bit weird, I agree. No reason to buy anything at 50% off until Sunday.

Yeah, I did kinda point that out earlier, but it wasn't very clear.

Note that the genre for Hector says "casual, adventure". I haven't played Hector but I would not pay 5 bucks for an adventure game that's too easy. And from what I've seen of Hector it doesn't look like my cup of tea.

*Darth Marsden* · 03/09/2012, 01:20 pm

I wouldn't call Hector 'easy'. Casual is very much the wrong category.

Too bad they don't have a British Catergory... Though it doesn't seem THAT casual, then again I haven't played it so I could be wrong.

Hm, strange that they would call it casual. Oh, I just don't know.
In the end I'll probably submit and buy it anyway. Damn you Steam!

Farlander · 03/09/2012, 03:07 pm

Regarding the Mafia 50% to 75% thing - that's how week-long special sales have always worked on Steam. Summer sales, Christmas sales, Halloween sales, company catalog sales... All games that are on sale have a discount, but on a certain single day it's a bigger one. So there's really nothing surprising.

It is rather ingenious actually. I mean, for example today, people will buy shitloads copies of Mafia just because it's on a special 75% sale, and it would net a profit bigger than if Mafia would stay at the same 50% discount price.
