Game Deals and Subscriptions 2017... err... 2018 now

[Neil Koch]

I didn't renew my PS+ this year and don't regret it.  I don't play online and any of the few good free games are usually offered on deep discount PSN sales anyway.

[Craig H]

I'm interested in Darksiders 2 at least. 

[Cliff Hanger]

The Yogscast-curated Jingle Jam advent bundle is up on Humble.  $35 for 24 games revealed one per day, 100 percent to charity. Last year this ended up being a pretty great deal IIRC. 

 

They also revealed that the Monthly for January 5 has 3 games available early instead of 1: Quantum Break (Jesus how much drive space does that need?), Long Dark and Dawn of War 3.

[Cliff Hanger]

Holiday megasales are live on Gog and PSN.

[J.T.]

If you are an Xbox Gold member and haven't done it already, you have TWO DAYS LEFT to download Tales From The Borderlands Complete Season.

[Craig H]

Oh shit! Gang Beasts is finally on PSN?! Awesome! It's a part of the PSN sale, but no Plus discount. Even still, I'll buy that for $16 instead of $20.

Hitman should be way cheaper. Way fucking cheaper. I'll just get that on Steam.

Damn, that's about all that stuck out to me after this first day of deals. Hopefully there's better stuff to come.

[Jiji]

I agree on Hitman's price. I was thinking about picking it up but not for that price.

I remember you posting about Gang Beasts like 2 years ago? And I was so excited then and I'm so excited now to finally play with the buds on Mondays. Looks perfect for just picking up and playing with the homies.

[Casey]

This is why I like Gamefly - I can keep GOTY edition Hitman for less than $20.

[Tabe]

Good idea to pay attention to Humble Bundle, GOG, and Ubisoft. In the last few weeks, I've gotten Watch Dogs, Company of Heroes 2, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag for free. 

[AxB]

There's a PSN bundle of four Telltale games for £9.99 GBP. 3 Walking Deads (1, 2 and Michoone) and Seven Days to Die, whatever that is.

[Craig H]

Fire Pro World is on sale on Steam for $13.39. BUY IT!

Yes it is definitely worth checking them out. Layers of Fear is currently free for the next day and a bit.

[Cliff Hanger]

For those with Twitch Prime (which basically means "have a Twitch account and tether it to your Amazon Prime"), Steamworld Heist and motherfucking SUPERHOT are free right now.

For anyone who's playing Just Cause 3 on PS4 - the DLC packs are on sale on PSN for £3.99 (was £19.99 last week).

[Neil Koch]

They are on sale on the US PSN as well - the wingsuit one really changes the game a lot, as it turns it into pretty much a jet pack.  The mech one is useful for some of the bigger bases/camps.  I haven't found much use for the boat so far.

That's much better.

[The Unholy Dragon]

Given that I think a lot of people slept on Batman: The Telltale Series, I'm jazzed to see it get some more players from this.

So far, they have only freed the PS Vita version of Psycho Pass. Not sure if the blog post was an error or the non-unlock.

[Zimbra]

FYI Civ 6 plus a couple of pieces of minor DLC are the early unlock for next month's Humble Monthly.  $12 gets it for you now, plus whatever else they announce next month.

[Raziel]

FINALLY CIV6 on Humble...

 

 

I mean, awesome!.

Not surprised that they chose the shittiest of the VH games or one of the worst Ubisoft games ever to give away for free.

Games With Gold for XB1 is so hit and miss.  I'm beginning to suspect that releasing Tales From The Borderlands last month was a clerical mistake.

[RandomAct]

TellTale Batman is a hoot you guys.

[Basara]

For anyone in the UK wanting XBox Live, Microsoft are currently selling 6 months for £12.49. And if you have auto renewal turned off before redeeming it, they offer you an additional month for turning it on.
