G2A random keys

[Pskovanion]

Hey everyone,

So lately i found myself on a game shopping spree and after digging around on G2A (a legal site to buy cheaper games) i bought 10 random games for $2,78. At first glance i thought that this was an awesome deal because surely one of those games had to be good, right? right?

Well turns out it isnt, all the 10 games where quite bad/small and i really didnt get my moneys worth (even though it wasnt much). I was wondering if people have an actual good experience with this random game thing, because to me it looks like its a good way to sell bad games!

Tell me your experiences/opinions on this

NOPE!

We did it at the same time and I got some pretty awful, non-heard of, games. I'd be curious to see if anyone's actually got anything good out of them, maybe we just got a bad batch? haha.

Yeaa those were quite awfull. After our bad experience im wondering if there is anyone out here who actually got a good/mediocre game! It doesnt have to be Elder scrolls Online but at least someone should be able to get a game worth $10-15 right?

Wow, that sounds awful, sorry to hear that guys. I have no experience with this G2A, but I am actually curious, can you say the name of the games you got that you considered bad ?

 

[Adam Fernandes]

I wouldn't trust the random key thing I'd just buy the discounted games

 

[TheAimGames]

As @Adam Fernandes stated above, the same goes for me. There's a heck ton of cheap games out there and the chance of getting a good game is pretty slim. It just depends on luck, I'm afraid.

Although, it could be an amazing idea to start off a video series. Have one day as the day you play random games by buying a random key from G2A. Whatever comes up is the game you'll be playing. You'll get to try out the game, review the game and entertain your audience at the same time (If you're a channel that plays multi-genre games that is).

 

[Adam Fernandes]

If anything, it should be a tiered idea, you know a 50p key gets you crappy games, £1 slightly less, £5 is better and so on and such

 

[Nolan Westmore]

From my experience, I am pretty sure G2A just uses the money to buy the games from other sellers. So they're getting a cut of the cheese while you're getting games that you would've saved on if bought individually.
Even the "premium" keys are pretty bad.

 

[Adam Fernandes]

G2A seems to be a very half and half website, the deals are good, yes but the random stuff is pretty crap

 

[Pskovanion]

Sure, the games i received where:

Ring Runner: Flight of Sages
Lilly and Sasha: Guarding angels
Particula
8-bit commando (the only game i already knew due to @FlamingMonocle )
Tobes Vertical adventure
Pillar
Stellar 2D
War in a box: Paper tanks
Yury
Cubetractor

All of these games are so incredible small and unknown to me. It costed me around $3 but still xD

 

[Adam Fernandes]

I have not heard of a single game there, I don't think you're losing money but you're not saving much either

 

[Stretch AdventureKS]

Haven't heard about any of them before, did check them all a bit but most of them seem like flash games that I would normally play on a website, they are too simple for me in concepts

What'd you expect?

I did 5 random keys for something like $1 and got a few games worth $3 and $4. Sure they werent AAA games but they were basically free. xD

I haven't tried the random keys...
I get enough cheesy games I don't really want when buying bundles...

(Says the guy who bought the mystery monthly bundle)

 

[Pskovanion]

What'd you expect?

Yea yea yeahhh, @McGahan made me buy them xD.

In all seriousness, i expected it to be a lottery where you have a small chance on a really good game!

Do you know what "lottery" means? LOL. Lucky you didn't get 10 DLCs for games you don't have lol.

Let me tell you this funny thing. They use keys from free games and sell em or games on sale for like .50 cents. Never expect anything about 5$

Allow me to be skeptical and ask you to provide some kind of proof detailing your official status.
