Hell of a sale they've got on! With the £10 voucher:

Control - £13.99
Satisfactory - £14.29
Borderlands 3 - £14.99
Anno 1800 - £14.99
Watch Dogs 2 - £4.99
AC: Origins Gold Edition - £8.74
AC: Odyssey - £6.49

Each time you buy the voucher you get another. That lot comes to just over £60!

Satisfactory is absolutely awesome, for anyone at all who likes Factorio I cannot recommend the game enough. Its basically 3D Factorio and the ability to build in 3D makes a huge difference to your conveyor belts and machinery etc. I actually prefer Satisfactory now over Factorio.

Witcher 3 GOTY edition can be had for 49p lol

I have been trying to access the store for free GTAV but the store won't load, it's been like that for hours. Will try again tomorrow

I managed to access it earlier for GTAV but the d/l speed is limited due to high demand.

I've only snagged 15GB out of 94(!) since about 8:30.

Reckon it should be done sometime tomorrow at this rate!

Ah , so it is...its slightly different to the Christmas coupon deal they did then, that one could be used on anything

Was looking at AC: Odyssey prices the other day.. cdkeys £30? £6.49 will do nicely

£6.49 for Odyssey is a ludicrously cheap price for the size of the game, on the £ per hour scale, its off the chart

got AC: Odyssey and the season pass for £18 which seemed fine. Just got to wait for the 95meg download of GTA to finish!

Is Assassin's Creed Odyssey good?

Quite tempted for 6 quid!

Amazing that using a coupon just nets you another one to use all the way up until the 1st November also.

Also, apparently Civ 6 is the next free game!

It's massively bloated, but yes, it's one of the better AC games.

There's almost a month to go on these sale coupons so no need to rush. That's what I'm telling myself after looking at the amount I've spent on gaming this past fortnight. :eek:

Ive read its more like the Witcher and a proper RPG rather than a traditional Assassins Creed game. Is that generally true?

RPG elements it's not full blown. Some choices/upgrades/crafting etc. It's a good game.

McPhee · 15 May 2020 at 14:02

Open-world action game would probably be the most reasonable description. Quite comparable to TW3 if you strip out alchemy, etc.

I tried to set that up before gtaV was released (day before) and it never came. So I just went with the phone number one.

How do you do the phone number?

Should be an option to choose it on their website when you login onto your account through the website.. Though thinking about it, there may be an email confirmation before that, if I recall correctly, it took some time to come through. Then another one never came through.

Well this is annoying, downloaded around 50GB of GTA V, shut the computer down and after restart it didn't save any files and starting all over with 94GB to go?

Weird, worked OK for me. Are you sure it's starting again, it's a weird layout, it starts from where you left off. Looks like I had download nothing, but looked closer and it said 0gb of 70gb, since I'd already downloaded 24gb, probably not, but worth a double look.

Do I need a rockstar account as well then? Not done that yet.
