I pre-ordered Total War Rome 2 with the DLC bonus off GMG.com for $42.95 I believe was the total price after 25% off coupon. GMG25-5GT67-87HJ9

Not sure if the code is still active, it was for me on Friday. This was pretty much the only game I wanted this year, so I thought it was a great deal.

 

[AsRock]

Man, I saw that. Kinda burns for us who got skyrim for $60 when it came out, lol. I think it was worth well over 300 hours though

Not realy due to your point and it's been around 18 month since release. It's one game i think that was done right with 33% around about a month after release then the price stayed reasonably high till now..

Lets face it most games hit a 50%+ off with in a month so why buy new lmao. I think it's really screwing the people who put so much effort in to these games. As we do know Publishers don't give a flying crap.

Rome2 has day 1 DLC? Really. Urgh another dev gone down the crapper.

No, it is not Day 1 DLC, it is a bonus DLC that will be released later on, and it is therefore free to those who pre-order Rome 2, the DLC will not be ready to play day 1.

Still doesnt change the fact they're following suit of every other dev that minces around with preorder special DLC(because we want loads of preorders in case the game is crap and people dont realise it until after launch, then the suckers afterwards can buy the DLC)

But i hope Total War would NEVER become a bad cash cow.

ummm where have you been? The last several TW games had a crap ton of DLC. Shogun 2 TW had day 1 dlc packs (clans, maps) Napoleon had many, Empire TW had many. DLC has become synonymous with Total War.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

True but day one DLC is free, so who cares, its $5 afterwards at least with Rome II it SEEMS they are changing their DLC plans instead of shitty units modders can already create, they are do new factions / religions and adding new play styles

Rome II originally at Macedon / Egypt = hoplites / phalanx armies
DLC adds Sparta / Athens / Epirus as possible leaders of the Greek City States much like Rome has 3 options as well.

Changing the flavor of the playable factions is a nice addition and is worth $5 as DLC back when they were releasing unit packs at that price those were NOT worth the money since a simple pack file edit gave you ability to make any units you wanted to begin with.

Creative Assembly is getting smarter with their DLC, much like Bethesda had to learn the hard way with Horse Armor, CA is slowly learning. Most of the DLC shit can be placed squarely at SEGA's feet.

Pre-Ordered for $40,

I got over 300 hours out of Shogun 2, with mod tool now working properly with the game engine Rome II should offer me more play time, Ill just wait to grab the other DLC when its dirt cheap on sale.

CheapShark seems to be giving away Sniper Elite V2.

Just saying'
Wing Commander, Wing Commander 2 and Privateer had what they called expansion packs back in the day...what we would call DLC now....This is nothing new and its been around since PC gaming was more than a single screen game...The main difference is back in the day when an expansion pack came out and you bought the game it was included sorta like GOTY versions but not as greedy...

I'm saying that because I see some people are under the impression this is new...its far from new...

Microtransactions though yeah....bitch away about that shit cause it is just that....shit along with selling the people that can afford it better stuff in a game to give them an edge...I'm looking at you Chris Roberts and am hoping that's not what you're doing but why else would you sell a limited number of $1500 ships...

 

[techtard]

Expansion packs used to be a whole lot of value for money. Complete new campaigns and such at a reasonable price.
Modern DLC and microtransactions are all about gouging the customer for as much $$$ as possible.

About to buy, do these games work in the UK?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I went through the entire list of 826 titles and only bought one: Gatling Gears.

I saw a lot of good deals though.

It is very important to read the system requirements and all caps text. Many will say Steam or Origin. If it says neither, you'll be downloading directly from Amazon basically an image of the game (all the contents of the retail disk). You use their proprietary downloader to download it then the setup just like if it were a disk.

Access it through www.amazon.co.uk to be safe.

Pretty sure it says only available to US customers.

Indeed, this looks like the only option at the UK store:
http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B007X1458W/?tag=tec053-21

The download options aren't available (e.g. this one).
