The Groginati Sales Thread

GameFly has a couple good deals.  Steam keys...

Stardrive - $8 w/ code GFDSEP20
Rising Storm - $5.43 w/ code GFDSEP20

Ooooooh!  I've been waiting for a Stardrive sale!  Never used Gamefly before though - what would I be letting myself in for?

Was it ever fixed?

Sounds like its on its way to being fixed, but it may be a while.  Skip down to the "Update" part in the following thread.

tl;dr Zero is porting SD to another engine (Unity), it will have better graphics and will have much faster updates when it gets there due to better workflow but you will have to sit tight while he gets to the same level of progress that he has with SD on the current engine. Multiplayer should be much easier to implement too.

@ Huw -- GameFly used to be Direct2Drive.  Its no better/no worse than most of the other online stores.  At worst, you'll probably have to download the GameFly client app to get the Steam key.  Once you have the key, you can uninstall the app...

Cool, thanks Steve.  I think I'll probably jump in then.  It already looks fun, development clearly hasn't been abandoned, and I haven't played this kind of game since Endless Space.

[Huw the Poo]

As it happens I didn't even have to download the client; it was a Steam key.  Steve, thanks again for the advice and for providing the heads-up.  I've been waiting patiently to play StarDrive for ages. :)

Thanks Steve, I finally pulled the trigger and got Rising Storm.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it out tonight!

[Huw the Poo]

I'm hoping the same thing, Republic; I finally acquire StarDrive and my lady decides to start playing some hidden object shit. :(

Sounds like you need to surprise her with a new laptop :)

[Huw the Poo]

If only!

I'm pretty sure the guy announced that he was creating a sequel for Stardrive.  So further development may require a whole new purchase to benefit.

The last I read, he was porting StarDrive to Unity before continuing development.

Hey guys, I just saw this.

JustFlight is having a very awesome sale: buy any two airliners (from the offered selection) for $29!

So for example I'm looking at the MD-87 and L-1011, and the total is $29, a savings of $46!

I'm actually considering buying 4 planes for $58 because the price is so awesome.

I haven't flown any of these planes, so I can't give any feedback on their quality.

Good God, man!!!1one

It's fourteen bucks!  You know you wanna!

Besides.. they're starting to put the Managerial facet into the game.  It's already a blast just in the sandbox sim & rocket builder!

I am just not sure I am intelligent enough to play this game:)  It is tempting with the career stuff starting to sprinkle in....

Steve, I did pick up CC after all, thanks!

I already had the Tomb Raider reboot, so I picked up the most recent WW2 and modern Medal of Honor games, although I recall them being not especially well thought of. But they may have been finally swamped by Call of Duty and Battlefield, so... All the CoD games were on sale, but not enough of a sale for me to pick up anything after the first WW2 games (which I already had -- I think it's weird that CoD3 wasn't released for the PC, but the expansion pack to CoD1 kind of counts.)

One of these days I need to go back and finish working my way through the first Brothers in Arms game, and then its two sequels. I hit a desperately hard mission through an occupied village in the first game and didn't want to permanently downgrade the difficulty because I like seeing the unlocked extras of how they designed the game. But that isn't overly rational. ;)

Meanwhile, I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger on the Kerbals yet, even though I'm sure my nieces would go crazy for them, since I'd rather have the management structure and that will be a while. Good to see it finally moving along to that, though, even if in bits and pieces!
