Anyone remember when the fall b2g1 sale at Best buy was last year?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Found it.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Thanks. I was going to hold off on Assassin's Creed until then, but now I'll grab it with the $10 promo

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

So I have a 10% off birthday coupon from Best Buy that expires at the end of tomorrow and I'm having a tough time deciding what to use it on. It doesn't work on consoles, but should work on anything else.

I was thinking about putting it towards one of the Limited / Collector's Editions preorders to get the best bang for my buck. Far Cry 5, Shadow of War, AC Orgins, MvC, etc.

Any suggestions?

I already have a 3D projector and 135 inch screen, so no need to downsize :)

I'm thinking of just preordering AC Origins Gold Edition. Seems like the best bet discount wise. Hopefully skipping last year makes the game feel a little more fresh. It's been rough playing through AC Syndicate.

Not quite that Big...about 94-96" Sony 3D....and I know some like the 4K and all but no-way I can "Downsize" either after playing games that make you feel like it's up close and personal....go ahead and do some pre-order(s)...lots of good stuff coming Fall.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Oddly enough it doesn't look like the coupon stacks with GCU. It's either one or the other. Oh well.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Best Buy is giving $10 gift cards with preorders of Agents of Mayhem. This is different than the usual $10 reward certificates; they're physically mailing gift cards. (I mean "mailing" too; you can't do in-store pickup.) Weirdly, my gift card is currently scheduled to arrive more than a month before the game itself, although I'm sure that'll change.

The PS4 version of Rime is down to $20 on Amazon.

Did anyone ever play it? I was looking forward to it, but haven't heard much about it since it was released.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I did, at least for a while. It's probably worth it at that price. It's pretty if not very detailed. A simple puzzle exploration game. Not too hard - puzzles are simple and logical but don't require you to break out graph paper and do calculus to solve like a certain other recent game that also finds you stranded on a beautiful deserted island.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I played it on XB1. It reminded me of a Zelda game, minus the combat. You're pretty much exploring environments and solving various environmental puzzles to progress.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Mass Effect Andromeda is down to $19.99 at Gamestop (and XB1 at Amazon)

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

:up:

Which game is that?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

The Witness.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Xbox One Shadow of Mordor GOTY is currently $4

Note: I got an E-mail saying that it (regular version?) would be free this weekend for Xbox One and Steam / $3.99 for PS4 *shrug*

Note - GOTY is also $4 on Steam.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I am seeing conflicting information. Major Nelson made it seem like it was only free to play this weekend.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Shit for $4 I bought it. Figure if I get even a few hours of enjoyment, it is money well spent.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

It's Assassin's Creed in Mordor. What's not to like?

I'm even tempted to play it all over again for $4 to A) get rid of my disc and B) get all of the achievements again on the GOTY edition.

Edit: Temptation won.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

You won't be disappointed.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Almost verbatim what my friend told me. Assassin's Creed games never really appealed to me. So far I am enjoying this, though.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I love how ridiculously overpowered you get as it goes along. I figured I was halfway through when the second half of the map was revealed, but...geez, that just flew by since the tactics change.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Wanted to mention that it seems like Amazon has price matched some of the digital games from Xbox and PlayStation's mid-year sale. Your mileage may vary.
