You know what... I think I'm going to build me a nice pc rig, they ALWAYS have some kind of sweet deal going on. I just never see good deals like this for console games.

All devs want to do is stupid crap like online pass, instead of competing with used games sales directly by doing there own price cut/deals like this.

You don't need any special pc to run this game, it is very light if you want to try it.

falout4717d ago

I recently bought a new pc at best buy, was told it was a good pc so I dropped $500 with monitor to find out it's garbage not strong enough for games like this just bs flash games and solitaire. Def learned my lesson with that store.

Yea it can be somewhat expensive building good gaming pc, but if you are patient you can run into some ridiculous deals out there. Especially on steam.

Charmers4717d ago

Just as an idea, why wait ? If you see a good game deal then don't pass it up because you have a weak PC. Simply buy the game and then download it once you have a decent PC.

Most DD sites allow you to download the game whenever you like, there is no "limit" and you certainly do not have to download the game right after you have bought it.

This is especially true of Steam. So if you see a game deal that is irresistible and whilst you don't have a good enough PC yet but you intend to get one then take advantage of the deal.

Oh! I did not know that, great idea. When I got that pos pc the very first thing I did with it was dl steam since I always wanted to try it out with my 360 controller or ps3 pad if supported. Then when I seen the specs and my pc specs I was pissed, ready to bring the crap back but couldn't.

I really got it for my wife for school so when she found out why I wanted to bring it back it was just not going to happen all she kept saying was you have the ps3 360 wii iPhone psp and ds for that and I just couldn't argue that.

I would love to build a pc and plan to just dont k ow by when since I'm working on my car now so I may not get to those games for a long time. I just wish consoles would do things like this with DD.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
