PC Games: "Bargain Alerts" - [NO CHAT]

Pac1Man

Objectively it's a very good game but it just wasn't for me. Talk about glum!

"Declan is depressed, cold and hungry."

FFS Declan cheer up. That elderly couple were well on their way anyway.

Could never get into This war of mine. Have tried to play it a few times now.

Did anyone post this? None of the games jump out at me.

What about Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion - supposed to be pretty great, no?

Greenman Gaming  has South Park Gold Edition for Euros 52.34. but if you buy from an Irish IP the game is 67.99 euro
so use a UK proxy.

I'd be one of the 3!

Been on my wishlist for ages.
So has endless legend. So that bundle is perfect.
Another bonus is that I won the pre sequel from the steam gifts group so now I have the whole collection

I think it's because it the Humble Endless RPG Lands Bundle. They add little details like that sometimes, for example, the Humble Overwhelmingly Positive Bundle had Metacritic scores attached.

I would highly recommend them. Borderlands series is one of my all time favourite. I cannot wait for another, when ever that will be.

just on the above

https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/fallout-4-game-of-the-year-edition-pc-steam-cd-key

you can get the base game for similar price on CD keys or if your looking for GOTY edition you can get it above for 22.79

total on gamesplanet would be around 34

Wolfenstein The New Order and The Old Blood are available for less than a fiver each on CDKeys - I loved both of them.

Think they've been hovering around that price for a few months; I picked up both for about €12 total a few weeks back and have been meaning to get around to them (went on a bit of a cheap game splurge!). I won't be getting the main game for a few months until it dips in price though, so plenty of time!

By the looks of the games it's a great price to pick them up for all the same.

Actually the mention of PayPal earlier might be worth investigating...

Absolutely do, I had a similar issue with G2A a couple of years ago - I bought two Xbox live currency cards and one of them was already used. I opened a live chat with G2a and they basically said tough shít, you didn't pay the extra €2 insurance. I raised this with Paypal and it was sorted within a couple of days - G2a then made a balls of it by refunding me the entire purchase amount instead of just the amount for the code that wasn't working the dozy twits - karma!

Yeah it's an absolute bargain for two(-ish, TOB is an expansion) pretty solid shooters.

Hmm seems I might have missed the boat as I opened the claim with Paypal more than 180 days after the transaction was made so it seems my dispute was automatically closed.

So lesson learned. I personally won't be using CDKeys again, but for those that do ensure you use the key you buy ASAP as it's clear they resell unused keys (i.e. don't do what I did and buy a 12 month membership for use later on).

I think you mean G2A? Personally I would never use G2A but I have no problem using CDKeys.

No, I used CDKeys and my key was resold before I used it.

Funny I never had trouble with cdkeys myself but I've heard your story more than once. Looks like it's safe to use as long as you intend to use straight away.

Ah ok, I've had no issues with CD Keys myself but I'd always try the key immediately anyway to be sure.

Wizard of Firetop Mountain was on my steam wishlist but at 20euro was way more that I was will to pay.

Well worth 1 euro though for nostalgia. I used to love those books. No idea what the other games are like in that bundle

Problem is: what if *you* are the second buyer of that key and the original person decides to use the key coincidentally on the same day you bought yours.

Chances are tiny of course, but could happen, so yeah make sure you use it a few minutes after buying

The key was valid when I bought it as I could test it without cashing it in, plus I asked CDkeys if my key would ever expire and they wrote me that no the key wouldn't expire, so I held onto it until I felt I would have more time to use my Xbox.

When I finally tried, the key said it had been used up. Contacted Microsoft and they said key had been cashed in about 3 months earlier (6 months after I bought it).

Couldn't give me details of where the person was that used it, and CDkeys wouldn't honour the promise that the key wouldn't expire.

marcbrophy

Always always always always always redeem any codes you buy immediately.
I'd have the redemption page open on the pc, waiting for the code to come in by email.

mrcheez

Aye, and CDkeys don't keep to their word (or honour it).

Two lessons learned.
