Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)

I saw them last night, and I was pretty excited too. My only problem is hard drive space. How easy and about how much does it cost to upgrade your hard drive?

by volvocrusher Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:38 pm

I'm glad more of you will be able to play Spec Ops: The Line now. It's just one of those games I think everyone should play whether you're it's target audience (Kubert) or not (Trip).

Please support GoG since they do cool shit for cheap. I like my pc games on the cheap. Or not. I notice a lot of people here dislike pc gaming. I dig it since it means less stealing by emulaters and such. Support shit, correct?

There's also supposed to be 4 free Ps1/PSP games. I guess they're part of the Vita anniversary sale, not PS+

@Bret Check out an online guide to ugrade your hard drive. It's pretty easy, just know that the screws can get stripped easily. The most you will pay is a little over $100 if you want a 1TB hard drive

GoG is the best place to buy PC games. Good deals, DRM free, and you get a ton of bonuses on the side. They just don't have the selection that Steam does

Every once in a while, I trade in a game, and then grow to really regret the decision. Left 4 Dead 2 falls into this category.

If you're a PUR member be sure to check your active offers for some bonus coupons. They're kinda crap and not everyone gets them so don't get too excited. It's not like that bitchin $100 off PS3 they had a couple of years back.

by TripOpt55 Wed Mar 06, 2013 2:07 am

Yeah that is a good list for PS+ this month. Tomb Raider is my last purchase for some time, so this should help keep me busy.

by pspiddy Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:16 pm

Amazon and Best Buy are selling the 32GB Vita cards for $75.

*edit* Amazon has Animal Crossing 3DS pre-order for $35

by ajapam Tue Mar 12, 2013 4:52 pm

GOG has a sale on right now. Pick 5 games out of a list of 20, and you get about 80% off. The eligible games include Alan Wake and The Witcher

by SanAndreasX Tue Mar 12, 2013 5:18 pm

I like GOG. I'm not a PC gamer, but they did sell a lot of PC classics I used to love back in the day for cheap, like Ultima and Tex Murphy, so I bought those.

I'm all for their staunch no-DRM position. I understand companies wanting to protect their games from piracy, but engaging in bullshit the way EA and Ubisoft do and treating your customers like criminals is a good way to ensure that I keep my wallet closed.

by pspiddy Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:50 pm

Starcraft 2 is $20 @Best Buy.

The DLC VR missions for Metal Gear Rising are free until April 3rd!

by Bannen Wed Mar 13, 2013 11:30 am

I'd like to give Metal Gear Rising a shot. But I'd like it to be a cheaper shot...like $30.

by Motinator Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:03 pm

Would it work if you were to download the DLC now without having the game installed?

by avidacridjam Wed Mar 13, 2013 5:20 pm

The Scott Pilgrim game (ultimate edition, with all DLC) is $12 for Plus members. I had leftover funds so I grabbed it. If you have the 360 version (like I do), you'll have to pay $5 for the online MP pack. As far as I can tell, XBL doesn't provide a bundle (big surprise).

by pspiddy Wed Mar 13, 2013 8:09 pm

FTL: Faster Than Light is $4 @GoG.

Does this game have online co-op? I heard it didn't, and that strikes me as shockingly stupid.

There's gonna be a buy 2 games get 1 free at Target. Deal starts on the17th and ends on the 23rd this month. Good chance to pick up some new releases and get a game free.

It does work, I got the free PlayStation All-Stars dlc characters for free when I get the game at some point, so probably gonna dl the MG Rising stuff later on.

Damn, just one more day and I could have got Luigi's Mansion. Oh well, Tomb Raider, MGR Revengence, and Ni No Kuni are looking good. May jump on this.

The DLC adds online co-op. Which I'd be so down to play with other people, it's an awesome game.

by Krubixcube Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:01 am

That game is super fun...I only have the bog standard version for PS3 though.

If I had time to play three games I would be all over this. I've missed out on a lot of games I wanted to get. Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3 and Hitman to name a few.

by Bannen Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:30 pm

Hitman: Absolution bummed me out. It's so not Hitman.

by b.b.hagen Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:36 pm

Really? Well that makes me not care about missing it as much. I thought when I saw previews it looked really different from the Hitman of old, but some people said you could still play it in that fashion.

by Bannen Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:46 pm

You can try, but some of the level design makes it impossible. A lot of the game is one mission broken up into a bunch of levels - and a lot of them don't have a true "target", so there's some stealth, some forced action, and then there are parts that feel like a true Hitman game - but the entire experience is no longer Hit-by-Hit missions.

I was so happy I went with Dishonored instead. Different kind of experience, but close enough to fill the cleverly-dispatch-one-enemy void.
