The other 2 are stand alone "expansions" so I can understand why they didn't include them.
I'm also curious as to if titan quest includes immmortal throne. |

SpectralMeat wrote on Dec 10, 2012, 09:02: New game prices drop pretty drastically shortly after release these days. That depends on publisher and game. For instance, skyrim is still listing for $60 (although its had a few 50% off sales, it still took quite a while from release to do so). MW3 really only had significant sales after BO2 came out from what I've seen. |

Thats a good point. I wonder if they charged EA an arm and a leg, and then when EA paid, they figured they could do it to everyone else too. |

| I tried some of the HOMM stuff after like 3 and wasn't impressed. Also, the always on DRM means if I ever do get any of the other HOMM stuff its going to be like a $5 sale. I did that with the latest settlers game and that always on DRM still prevented me from playing the game I purchased on occasion. |

I RTFA and got this:
There will be no disruption in service to GameSpy's current customers and contracts as a result of this acquisition by Glu. If rebellion has a contract about the service they could probably sue to get it back on, especially since they can show they said publicly it wouldn't change. |

| Protip: Use steam and things like this can be avoided. I think GFWL was in existence even back then, so even that piece of crap could have been used and probably gotten a kickback from MS. |

repost of my comment from OOTB with an added comment about another game:
xXBatmanXx wrote on Dec 7, 2012, 11:39: Miner Wars 2081 80% off today at GMG Don't forget: GMG25-CZPYL-D5MQ6
25% off code works on it making it $3.75 !!!
Edit: http://www.minerwars.com/SteamKeys.aspx Apparently its one of those games where they have a separate login thing you have to create. Anyway once you do, you can get the actual steam key there, after entering in the key from GMG.

Quboid wrote on Dec 7, 2012, 14:55: How good is Windows 8? I'm building a PC for my mum and I'll need to buy an OS; she's used to Windows and won't fancy switching.
Specifically, how good is Windows 8 without Metro.
I know Metro is appalling for keyboard/mouse users and I would be disabling that. However, Metro's received so much attention that I've no idea if the rest of the OS is any good. Is Windows 8 - Metro better than Windows 7? Remember that you won't be able to disable metro at boot without a 3rd party tool, MS disabled all the registry ways to disable metro on boot when they did the final release version. Also, you will still be missing a start menu, again a 3rd party tool will take care of that.
Without a 3rd party tool you will have to enter desktop mode on every bootup and be without a start menu. MS really really wanted to force people into metro.
You can still get win 8 for $15 (details are on slickdeals). So fortunately its cheap enough you can still pay for the 3rd party tool without too much issue.
Alternatively one can generally downgrade as well. Not sure how the details of that are handled.

Its a DLC. And its optional. I think it sounds cool since I like sci fi, but I know some people figure it doesn't have any place in a fantasy setting and those people can pass on the DLC.
All that aside, anyone tried the base game? "A Game of Dwarves" ? |

http://www.gunpointgame.com/ Looks amazing, the trailer is really nice! Instant buy when it's available I agree. I like how he talks about trying to make sure various levels of solutions are there, including super complex ones for people who just like to play around with crazy ways to get past things, or simple ones if you buy a gadget and have charges left, for those who just want to beat it. |

The box office record set for feature films in 2009 by "Avatar" was $1 billion in 17 days Jeez. Better than the best selling movie. Plus the movie probably cost much more to produce. |

And yes it is soon. They shouldn't have bothered until it got a little more optimized. They are more likely to scare away people at this point. |
