Those of you that have been on the fence about purchasing Global Agenda should grab your calculators. If the Global Agenda Limited Edition didn’t cause you to break you wallet, perhaps this new deal will. Following the recent (successful) trend of selling multiplayer games in bundles, Steam has just unveiled a Global Agenda four pack. The pack isn’t as sweet as Left 4 Dead 2’s or Borderlands’, but at $137.97 the purchasers will save $15 over normal retail.
As a consumer, I really wish Steam would stop running these four packs after the standard and limited edition versions have been made available. I probably would have purchased the LE for the perks anyways, but at the same time, I would have tried to round up three friends for the the discounted foursome. As a business person, I understand the reasoning behind catching the early adopters ASAP, and then going for the people on the fence.
In other Global Agenda news, Techland.com has a feature touting the sci-fi shooters “femme fatale” quadruplets. The females in Global Agenda break the genre convention of sexy body parts being immune to all damage. Instead, males and females alike will don heavy duty armor to protect them from the bullets and plasma that will be flying their way.
Lead character artist Sean McBride said “It’s a little easier in fantasy games as it could be explained away with magic, or her ability to finesse around the other characters. It’s a little different when you put guns into the mix and think about someone not wearing body armor around their heart.”
The art, and decision, goes along with Hi-Rez Studios “No Elves” campaign of breaking popular MMOG conventions. However, I can’t help but think some of the females are stuffing the wrong part of their armor.
