A Video Game Deal Thread (All Systems)

Preliminary thoughts on PS4 freebies:

 

Tabletop Racing is low-key fun, something I can play for ten minutes and do something else.  It's a good freebie, wish it were the one on Vita.

 

Switch Galaxy Ultra is Minecart Level: The Game.  You done been warned.

I REALLY wish I could have gotten the Gamecube Rogue Squadron games on the PS4.  Are they in the Steam deal?

Sady, they never ported the Gamecube games/

Just to follow up on the XBone "price drop"

The 500GB bundles are the ones that are $299

The 1TB ones are $349

Doesn't really help me as the games I will want to buy for XBone will probably have insane installs.  More storage is always better.

The 500 GB is what I have and I had 8 installs (including the pre-installed Master Chief collection) and only then did I start worrying about space.

Then I dropped like another $60 or $70 on a 1 TB HHD so I am good to go (plus the stuff on my HDD loads slightly quicker).

So for like $20 more - I ended up having 500 GB more in space plus the games from the 500GB Bundle (which tended to be better than the ones coming with the 1TB one)

Plus - you shouldn't have Destiny clogging up space like I do

True.  I think my Destiny grinding days are done.

I just looked up the complete install sizes of all XBox One games and of course the Master Chief collection is the largest one around (almost 63 GB)

The initial GTA V install is 49 GB but I think that is up to 60 GB with the online DLC

I expect Mass Effect Andromeda to clock in around 60 gigs and probably be closer to 70 with DLC since it will be a content and graphics nightmare.

Yeah - but that is still 9 months away

If you fill your entire hard drive before then you really have a bigger pile of shame than I do

If both of these consoles get hardware upgrades and also have to accomodate the older hardware, I expect install sizes to keep ticking upwards. Granted, what is the max disc capacity for a BR-D these day? Is it 80 GB?

Civilization V with all DLC is available on Steam for 12.75 till the 16th, if you never want to see your significant other and children again.

I can't pass that up.  Fuck my pile of shame is fucking huge,

And...

 

Steam currently has the Witcher trilogy for like, $30.  My system apparently can't handle 3 at all, but it can 1 and 2, and *those* total under $5, so yeah, more to the pile.

I know nothing about Steam games - can you transfer them over to another system if you get a better computer? Witcher 3 is just fan-freaking-tastic - great story, both similar enough to and different enough from Skyrim to make it a fantastic game to the Skyrim fan.

Anyone know if The Golf Club is any good?

It's halfway decent. It has a course design tool in-game which is interesting.

Knowing me, I haven't really spent too much time with it -- but I will once I want to start trophy hunting or playing it for fun then trophy hunting.

Yeah Steam is tied to an account, not a particular machine.

 

Also, it has a built-in option for backing up your games of choice when moving between machines so you don't have to download everything all over again if you have an external hard drive. Top left menu Steam > Backup and Restore Games > profit. Hugely useful for when you buy a new rig, or if you just have more than one computer around.

 

My backlog is so large that at this point I've abandoned all hope. It's not my fault some of my old games are good, massive time sinks.

Gohastings.com has a 44% off sale on used games and movies right now. Uncharted 4 and Doom were both 30 bucks before selling out.

I have already gotten my $1.79 out of Riptide GP.  It's a blast! Had never even heard of it till 15 minutes before I bought it. Super-fast  jet ski racing with fantastic graphics. And zero loading time. Everything is optimized for fast action and it shows. Great stuff!
