Green Man Gaming!

Ace Modder · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:26

Hi guys

I have tried green man gaming and it's good.

I can see this being the new steam as the pricing is much better

Tibbz2 · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:27

Yes it seems their prices on some things can be damn cheap...

pooley · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:30

I've had a couple of bargains from them, a bit of competition can't do us any harm.

Skeeter · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:39

If only their site didn't fall over every time they put on a promotion

.

Some good prices on there though.

DougallDogg · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:39

Yeah the pricing has been very good consistently and sometime ridiculous but they need to beef up their infrastructure as when they have offered free deals (Arma II in The Sun and Sniper: Ghost Warrior the other day) it has ground their site to a halt. Like pooley said competition can't do any harm, especially if we're getting good deals for it too

Been using GmG for a while. Had no problems with them and they have great pricing.

GraveYard · 3 Jan 2012 at 21:42

yeah ive grabbed a couple of bargains off there and a couple of free games...

great site, there download capsule thing aint the best tho...

They're a UK based site though which is nice. Although anyone across the globe can use it. Just picked up Dead Island for £12.99.

Might grab Just Cause 2 as well for £6, bargain.

Lol was it.. must have missed that.

I don't like their download application.

They don't hand out steam keys do they?

garsands · 3 Jan 2012 at 22:08

It's good that they waited for the steam sale to end before starting there sale.

arc@css · 3 Jan 2012 at 22:16

I bought Fear 3 on there the other day for £3.49, definitely jumped at the chance for that.

Speaking of bargains, I see they have Condemned : Crimial Origins on sale for £2.48.

I had a greenman gaming thread but it was locked and deleted :mad:

Got that ArmA game free with the offer a while back. Their downloader thing is horrible and ArmA was abysmal too, no wonder it was free.

It i better than origin! At least it saves everything you download when pausinga download/turning off your computer. Origin loses most of it!

But yes, Arkham City for £8.50 was amazing.

Green Man?

I have used it for a few games in the last few weeks and have found it pretty good, once downloaded you can run the games from the exe with no need to run Capsule as well.

They don't hand out steam keys do they?

I have gotten quite a few steam keys from there, Dead Island and Il-2 COD being examples(of a release day purchase and a fairly old game)

LeJosh · 3 Jan 2012 at 22:37

I didn't know you could run the .exe alone. Awesome!

And also awesome to the dead island key, it's a game I want to buy.

Pighardia · 3 Jan 2012 at 22:46

I'm not sure about Steam keys with GMG, It will say on the store page which it is, but I think on some games you get the choice.

I was annoyed because I got Arkham City from there (for £14 on day one with the sign-up bonus and a trade-in :cool:

) but I was starting capsule every time I wanted to play it and it won't let you create a shortcut, then I found out you could just run it from the exe!

So now I only have to put up with GFWL.........
