    €5 for BF4 absolute steal. Have 1 of the 2 DLCs they've given out so probs gonna buy.

    Thinking about getting BF4 and BF Hardline. Is it worth getting the Digital Deluxe edition or the premium editions in either case? They cost an extra €2.50 or €5 respectively.

    They're giving out the DLC's for them free. Not sure how many you've missed by now tho. I paid full price for both Day 1. Bf4 premium is worth it but 90% of the time, people still play the core maps so it's not really necessary.

    Hardline season pass, I don't think is worth it at all.

    Depending on how you feel your luck is, Green Man Gaming are doing Mystery Bundle packs. 0.99 for one; 4.99 for five and 6.99 for ten.

    For a laugh, I went with the five game pack (why looking back, I didn't just plump for the ten for an extra two euro, I don't know. Will use that for coffee in the morning.) Four of the games I got were a bit meh. Sci-fi side scrollers that got mixed ratings on Steam. Something I might mess about on the laptop with perhaps to kill some time. I did however get a key for the Witcher 3 out of it. A game that I have been considering for quite some time. So even if I do bugger all with the other four, I got well worth the fiver in the Witcher 3.

    Just have to find the time to sit down to play it now...

    So having seen this thought I might as well give it a go (absolute sucker for a lucky dip). Had done the 5 game one before and got 4 <$1 games and a duplicate. This time:

    BROKEN DREAMS
    SQUARESROUTE
    BRIDGE CONSTRUCTOR
    FARCRY PRIMAL
    CITY OF CHAINS
    LEGENDARY
    NEON SPACE
    SURVIVE IN SPACE
    BLOOD OF THE WEREWOLF
    TOMCLANCYS THE DIVISION

    *Caps from copy paste

    Mostly have no clue but to get The Division and Farcry Primal is surely ridiculously good luck? And a massive fan of Bridge-builder type games for years... Delighted with that :)

    To get one of those two is pretty lucky. To get two is unreal. Might try this later when i get home from work. No doubt everything I get will be shít.

    Between this, Origin Access and a couple of humble bundles my transition from 80% Console to 100% PC gaming has been made much easier. As the last poster said, just got to find time to play them all now!

    fupping lewl.

    I bought two 10 packs - because, what not?

    BROKENDREAMS
    DEMENTIUM2
    ELEMENTSSOULOFFIRE
    SHATTEREDHAVEN
    CITYOFCHAINS
    SHIPLORD
    DATAHACKERREBOOT
    SURVIVEINSPACE
    BLOODOFTHEWEREWOLF
    STATEOFANARCHY
    BROKENDREAMS
    VELVETASSASSIN

    SHATTEREDHAVEN
    CITYOFCHAINS
    INNERWORLD
    NEONSPACE
    SURVIVEINSPACE
    BLOODOFTHEWEREWOLF
    STATEOFANARCHY

    What a waste. haha. Although a combined Steam value of €105.30. If you could sell any on for more than .01 cent you'd be doing good though xD

    I bought 2 and got two copies of the following:

    SHATTEREDHAVEN
    CITYOFCHAINS
    DATAHACKERREBOOT
    SURVIVEINSPACE
    BLOODOFTHEWEREWOLF

    So 7 out of 10 were dupes for me.

    This is actually meant to be pretty decent, if a bit of a buggy mess. I'd love to give it a go at some point myself.

    They said it would say in your email what they are. I have to wait until later to check and see.

    Email doesn't say anything and the games list in my account just says "Other DRM" which means nothing to me...

    My guess is a few keys to the early birds who then, with no bad intent, promote what they got and then garbage, garbage, garbage. That might just be the cynic in me though and someone will post a huge haul right after this post :)

    You're quite right I'd say, I think its a way for GMG to get rid of a load of shovelware by dangling the possibility of a big AAA title in front of their noses.

    I was gonna post the same sentiment earlier, but they way I was wording it sounded very negative! So I decided against it.

    You got it spot on :)
