Same here, games been on my list for a while but I just don't have the spare money to be putting those amounts on a game sadly. That's why i normally wait for sales. Sadly in this case that still results in a price I'm not willing to spend :(

Degica Games Steam Midweek Madness is coming to a close in 17 hours.

http://store.steampowered.com/sale/degica/

Most of these games have been bundled before, but these two haven't and look really good to me:

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds ($2.99 - 75% off)
This one is a classic sidescrolling co-op brawler (like TMNT Arcade) that features chibi-style anime girls firmly entrenched in a very modern day Japanese setting. Reviews say the controls and combo gameplay is done very well, and it also has a leveling system where your characters add skills and progress as you play.

Last Word ($4.99 - 50% off)
Just recently officially released earlier this month, this looks like an interesting take a hybrid JRPG-Adventure game that has strong character work and unique branching gameplay elements that are not often seen in JRPGs.

I'm a bit on the fence whether or not to jump on these two at this time. I have a very strong feeling they will show up in bundles and possibly with confirmed DRM-free versions to boot in the coming months, given that I think every single one of the other titles in the Degica Games sale has been bundled before.

Yet the video they have for the game lists them. A bit misleading if you ask me.

so your swear jar actually swears AT you? That's kind of cool!

Kinda miffed that I owned everything in the first tier, but I guess that was to be expected...anyone know if JAST USA distributes DRM-free builds? Not too interested in the price point and content of the highest tier.

The details on the Groupees game pages says the two middle tier games from JAST USA are DRM-free downloads after key redemption. Word around the web is that the high tier game that uses DRM deploys a pretty horrible rootkit on users machine, so anyone considering top tier be forewarned.

Oh! Thanks, completely failed to notice "Game download is DRM-Free" in the description, haha.

Really? So if I buy Fallout 3 GOTY there, I'll get a ROW version that is uncut and playable in English? It won't turn into a German only version if the key is activated in Steam? Did you buy it yourself and try it? The Steam page says "Cut version - only available in German", but if it's safe to buy on GG without getting screwed like that as a German customer, that would be awesome.

So they removed widescreen support with a patch...why?

It's hard to tell what happens after activating, because maybe steam will only let you download the censored versions... Maybe someone should look into those stupid censorship laws...

Yeah, right, "someone" ...

So far I haven't had any issues activating ROW keys though. Saints Row, Half-Life and Bioshock are uncut in my Steam account. But apparantly GamersGate glitched again, since yesterday Fallout 3 GOTY 66% off was 3 EUR something, today it's 7 EUR. :/

(Damn, GOG is glitchy atm, too. Took me several tries to edit the post.)

I think they actually fixed the price to the right one. GamersGate was the only place that was selling Fallout 3 GOTY with a base price of €9.99, instead of €19.99 that is sold on Steam and other places.

I see. I always wondered why Fallout 3 and Fallout 3 GOTY had the same price. But did have to fix it today of all days? :D
(Not that 7 EUR isn't a good price, too, but it makes me more cautious what with Win 7/8 incompatibilities.)

You should have taken that gamble. :P

Yeah, I guess so. But supposed it would have added the German only version to my Steam account, I might have been stuck with it. Not sure how it works, but it would have sucked not to be able to activate the English version anymore.
