50% off New 'n' Tasty and up to 75% off Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Exoddus, and Strangers Wrath. And he still can't even.

From humble beginnings as an assembly line janitor, through a very oddventure, till a reasonably glorious hero-status. Abe has left a lasting impression on us all. And it turns out that it's been precisely 18 years since we met. How oddly time does fly, and how strangely discounts work, with 50-75% off the series for 24 hours in <span class="bold">Abe's 18th Oddiversary</span>




Unsettling. Peculiar. Odd. How else can you describe Abe's Oddysee, the story of corporate cruelty, and one man's stand against it all? A timeless tale in a disturbing universe and cruelly difficult gameplay continue throughout Abe's Exoddus with an even bigger, more puzzle focused challenge. Will you save your people, or save yourself? At 75% off, either way is good really.
Then, there's Stranger's Wrath HD - a story twice as weird, half as creepy, and immeasurably fun. The Stranger is a gunslingin' bounty hunter of the colorful Oddworld - full of signature humor and particular art. Live (literally) ammunition, insane mechanisms and mind-blowing landmarks await in the TPS/FPS blend, also 75% off.
Finally, you can see what difference eighteen years make in Oddworld: New'n'Tasty - a true remake of Abe's first game. Eighteen years later, the sounds, the setting and the flavor are still here - all brought up to modern platforming par and beyond. New controls, refined mechanics and restructured puzzles, and a new kind of Oddysee await - 50% off!




You can't even with <span class="bold">Abe's 18th Oddiversary</span>, with discounts from 50-75% extended for a total of 48 hours. The promo will last until Thursday, September 25, 4:59 PM GMT.

Around 1,39€ cheaper on Steam. I wonder why they ask for money from GOG cutomers... :/

Around 1,6 € more expensive on Humble. I wonder why they ask for money from Humble customers for giving a steam key that is currently free.

darthspudius: No it's a remake (a good one) of the original game. If you like it you'd be able to able the sequel quite happily. Different graphics (obviously) but the game play for the most part is the same.
Thanks! No reason not to get it then.

darthspudius: You can happily start from the start with New N Tasty, until the purists arrive atleast.
Too late, I've already bought it. :P

Haha I have been playing this series since day one and I think New N Tasty is the exact arse kicking the series needs. They're currently remaking the sequel also. But I recommend drilling through the other Oddworld games too. Oddysee is a beautiful dark grim game but the gameplay is a little too frustrating by todays standards. It is clearly a trial and error game but has no save option. Drives people to insanity. I know from experience. :P

Friday, right?
why no dlc discount?

apehater: why no dlc discount?
We'll never know I suppose.

eiii: Is there any indication on Steam which games you can launch without the Steam client and which not?
avatar
darthspudius: There is a thread you can search for.
avatar
Grargar: Not on Steam itself. You can find a list here, but it's neither official, nor 100% accurate.
Oh, the thread is on GOG. I was searching in the wrong place. Thanks to both of you!
Damn. This coming at the end of the month. The hubby wants the collection but says he doesn't agree with the price. Would like it a bit lower.

I don't know anything about these games but I remember seeing something about Stranger's Wrath on TV some time ago and thinking it looked interesting. Had put it on a mental list to get eventually if still interested.

Grabbed the one that's free on Steam right now just because. Never know what you might like when choosing something from your usual... Now seeing all this here about there being DLC that's not discounted and another game that hasn't been added here as well.

...I don't understand why there's more interest from developers to just keep updating Steam and putting their games there. :/ Bleh. Guess we'll have to wait it out and see if it comes up during the Winter sale.

I don't know what the exchange rate is in your land but the price seems fine enough here. It's not like you're buying bad games or anything. They're worth every penny.

Norway, so we use Norwegian kroner ( NOK ). The hubby seems to know what he's willing to pay. I didn't grow up with these games myself so I don't know about them.

I had offered to get it since I have some to spend this month still. I might anyway because he was pretty down about it. :/

140.04 NOK it says for us ( have to convert through Google to find from USD to NOK and does a good job of it as long as we've been using it.

I would. The wife bought me New N Tasty when I was down in the dumps and it cheered me right up. :D

Aww, that's sweet! :D

I think I will. Looks like he may have been looking at New N Tasty and thinking that was a bit expensive for an updated game. I hear those games are brutal, though.


EDIT: Aaaand he's happy. xD Alright, so now he has these games. Said he's fine with waiting on getting the DLC for now and will wait to see if Munch makes it over.

haha there you go! New N Tasty has a fairly forgiving easy mode. However I think I had a lot more fun (in a fairly sadistic manner) on the hardest difficulty. Poor Abe!

I do hope it cheers him up haha.
They missed a trick with the DLC Alf's Escape. They should have called it Alf 'n' Safety.
cool
