PSA - MEA already on sale

It'll probably be on GOG in two weeks.

I hear Witchers are good at solving problems, so I think you could cure my ignorance on this

What is GOG?

Wait for the GOG Drm free version with a heavy discount.

Good Old Game - GOG.com, the home of most awesome games like BG 1&2, Fallout 1&2, Theme hospital etc. All products are DRM free version, so you don't need constant internet connection to play a game on the hard drive. They also use local price system, so all and all it is great.

Which part of "good" and "old" this game satisfies?

It's funny yeah, but the last time I checked their website they didn't have many bad games, most were pretty good. I guess at least that part should stand true.

The premise was to re-release older games like today would be ME1-ME3 without any DRM. I didn't know they would be able to do that to newer titles too, maybe it's something that has started in the last years. Since then I was also thinking maybe they should have rebranded themselves to something more descriptive like for example NCS on youtube. But the name already stuck now.

To all you haters, the game is good. Is it a perfect 5/7, nope - but it's still good. Voice acting is superb, planets, many of the sidequests, the characters, and hopefully the plot too when done, are great - and the world actually feels alive. Something DAI didn't do, at all. Best way I can describe this game is ME2 and DAI had a child, got divorced after some years, mommy married a decent guy, The Witcher 3, and even though the child strongly disliked the new guy in her life, she eventually came around, and he got to influence her a little growing up too. Did the child inherit only the good parts from parents/influences? Nah, not really, but it's a decent mix, with the positive traits outweighing the bad - becoming a stand up member of society, yay!

Now, excuse me while I go enjoy a good game.

As others have said this is from Greenman Gaming and it is not unusual to see a 20% to 30% discount during launch week. I think it has to do more with regional buying and then reselling on their website, but I have no proof of that.

You go to key-selling places you find games for cheap. Like instant gaming or g2play. I'm planning to get Dawn of War 3 and Syberia 3 for cheaper.

lol @ "games journalism".

This.

GMG was discounting ME:A for around 20% off before it was even released/reviewed lol.

Really, it's obvious gaming sites get more traffic / clicks when there is alot of bullshit, controversy, or a hate train around a game.

This way they can get people's attention easily, like this.

"oh no game is so horrible (because we the press say it) that it's already on sale! will go free to play like battleborn (which didn't XD)"

Then we come, and say game has been even cheaper than those 46$, not after release, but before release.

Beat me to it: I bought game from instant gaming. It costed 42€, and I got a 10% discount for using paysafe card. I paid about 37-38€. Then, somehow, game price in instant gaming lowered to 40€, so they refunded me (added to credit) like 2 euros. Total price paid: about 35-36€.

Before the game and even any review was out. But hey it's cool to feed on the hate train / fake catastrophe to get more clicks!

I got Dishonored 2 at -27% on GMG with an special discount (anniversary or good customer, I don't remember) almost a year before it released.


This "not news", feels like some news site are trying to pain MEA as a failure to me.
