Heads up for anyone who wants to buy Dead Space 2

It has dropped to 40 USD in US. As per EA logic, its still 60 bucks for the rest of the world sad.gif

Make sure you buy from US if anyone plans on buying wink.gif

It was never 60USD in SEA regions for EA games. Check the retail prices. Not the DD prices.

Thanks for the info.

Well I guess that's for anyone who's like me who prefer to own all games through DD tongue.gif

i want mirror edge please  tongue.gif

From what we've seen, this sales will be for large franchise, one each day
We've had Dragon Age franchise, NFS franchise, now Sims franchise

I doubt they can put mirror edge as its just a single game for one day tongue.gif

I think we'll see Battlefield and Mass Effect in the future

I can't think of any other publisher who are doing the same stupid sh*t

The price here are always same with US, except for EA games. mad.gif

Dead Space 2 is quite cheap considering is still a new game
*
It still feels like we're being stabbed when you look at the price difference between our region and US.

I can never bring myself to spend on it knowing we're unnecessarily paying extra.

how can a game in development for a decade be bad?
*
Its not that they spend 10 years trying to improve and polish it, but rather bad management and developers who kept changing their mind rewriting the game for newer engine and eventually the whole project went crashing down and looks to be dead for awhile before its current developers picked it up.

So yes it can be bad.

I think I'll just ignore the daily sales. It feels like valve is just shoving indie games that barely anyone plays at me. Nothing interesting appeared so far.
*
To be fair, OP Dragon Rising wasn't indie tongue.gif

Big publisher isn't going to put their titles on sale very often, not when there's a large herd of sheep out there who would pay full price for a remake of a remake of COD each time they release one. Its only the humble indie developers that would.

Maybe im wrong, but it's just Steam shoving subpar games at people to buy. All the games showed so far are crap so far. Really terrible or unknown games that no one wants to play, so far.
*
If you mean the daily deals, yeah, it has been like that so far.

But I guess its no surprise, since Steam still carry the mid week and weekend deal. Also there's year end sales. If we start seeing those big titles on sale during daily deals, then the bigger sales would be less meaningful tongue.gif

Bought R6 vegas 1 & 2. Hopefully I made the right choice over GRAW 1 & 2.

It is if you like action shooter.

GRAW is more of a tactical shooter, slow paced, difficult and frustrating

What speed are you getting?

Mine usually take about 2 days to install full game, 1MB Streamyx here. If leave it on whole day, I think 24 hours should be enough.

Have you try changing download location?
