Frighteningly low prices
The lead in this week’s Weekend Deals is the recently releasedTitanfall 2. PC gamers can take off 18% at eitherGMGorDLGamerwith a drop from $60 to $48.99 on the second installment in Respawn’s mech FPS series. The Origin keys are both shipped straight from EA and are available region-wide (exceptapparentlyMyanmar?).
Early reviews suggest the underhyped game from EA is pretty good, but you should always run through your favorite review sources before you hand over hard-earned cash — particularly on triple-A games.
Two other Friday releases are getting price drops as well this weekend:Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2andSkyrim: Special Edition. In the case ofDragon Ball Xenoverse 2, PC gamers can again take a big discount. The deal onXenoverse 2is at GamesPlanet, where after a rare coupon code price reduction the game is 27.99 GBP, and since you can buy worldwide, this translates to about $34.19 for apretty big32% launch weekend deal. Not too bad on a Bandai Namco title. The remasteredElder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Editionhas its best discount yet from GMG on PC with a15% dropfrom $40 to $33.99. But if you’re not in a hurry to buySkyrimyet again, we’d wait as a 50% discount will appear sooner rather than later.
