FLASH SALE! Offer ends in 11:49:43
-82%
$138.76
sale $24.99

good deal even with DRM?

also is what is said here true?

"-5 machine limit
-10 installs per machine
-5 revokes maximum
-new hard drive/GPU/Windows counts as a new machine
-tied to Steam and GFWL accounts so you can't even buy the game again if your activations ever run out. You're banned from playing for life."

yeah it ok if you don't already have one of them. I though the would have been on sale individually for 75% off. but i am not gonna wait and find out.

And who cares about DRM. You will always have to play it thorough GFWL on PC anyway.

the franchise itself is the same price as batman AC + DLC so if you wish to maximize get the franchise

From what I've heard Quinn's Revenge only adds about an hour of gameplay. Not worth it even at 66% off. I will probably pick up the challenge map pack for a $1 and possibly the Nightwing DLC.

Will AC go 75% off? I'm thinking of getting the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC but should I get it now at 66% off or hope it goes 75% off?

I have Asylum retail, so can't comment on how it is on Steam.

For City, the "DRM" is just a minor inconvenience the first time you launch it, as you have to log into GFWL. Once you do it the first time, it automatically does it every time you subsequently launch the game, so no worries.

Be aware that you don't get unlimited revokes. Only 5. Should be enough for most people, but if you're a zealous re-installer of Windows, you won't be a happy shopper come this time next year...

Does the american version of this include all Batman AC dlcs? Some dlcs were blocked in my region, so I can't tell. The pack is the same price, but lacks robin pack, skins pack and challenge pack.

once you hit maximum installs, revokes etc., you have to contact customer service and have them enable it.

Alright, looking for opinions:
Asylumn and City = $17 right now, and Harley Quinn DLC makes it $21. Is it worth $4 to get the rest of the City DLC + Imposters and the absolute fuckton of DLC that they have included for that game?

Well since nobody has an opinion, I decided to honor the spirit of the Summer Sales and just buy the damn franchise package. Even though it galls me to have technically bought "XP boost" and other stupid DLC

Comment has been collapsed.

It's hard to tell you whether the DLC is worth it without you having played the games. If you think you'd enjoy the challenge maps, then the other DLC (Challenge Map Pack, Nightwing, Robin) are definitely worth it).

If you didn't own either BAA or BAC, then I think you made the right move just getting the Franchise Pack, even if Imposters winds up sucking.

Yea, I don't own any of them yet. Been drooling over Asylum and City for quite some time now, and since my willpower is at an all-time low due to the summer sale, I figured $4 for an extra game that I may or may not like, and a ton of DLC is probably worth it. I still hate that I was forced to buy an XP boost DLC though. That crap is such a ripoff.

Thanks for the input though!

Even if I could use my funds on account right now, I couldn't buy the DLCs. What the fuck, I remember they WERE in my region.

Thanks for the heads up on the DRM... I was considering buying the bundle, but I won't get any game that requires GFWL. Just freed up a ton of cash for other games ;)

The DRM is a slippery slope. If you never draw a line, you'll never keep control. I happened to draw my line on the good side of GFWL.

I drew my line at Starforce. And we all know how that went down. I haven't had an issue with anything else.

GFWL isn't much different than Steam, Origin, etc. Yes, it sucks that we need two at once (Steam + GFWL), but really, your standards aren't "higher", you simply have misplaced anger :P

GFWL is much buggier than Steam. Haven't used Origin, but if you want to say it's the same as Origin, I won't argue.
