Pre-Order Borderlands 2 from us for 10% off and help me get a tattoo! Yes it activates on Steam!

I am a huge Borderlands 2 fan and I want this to be our best selling pre-order ever. So I've drawn a line in the sand. If, from now until launch, we take 40,000 more preorders than where we were on 7/2/2012 I will get a Borderlands tattoo on my back.

Are you sure it is SotS II and not SotS I or some other game? AFAIK all versions of SotS II require Steam. I'm not even sure there is a retail version of this game but even if there is for Steamworks games you still have to enter your code in the box in Steak and go through the Steam client.

Yes, it happens. A while back I downloaded Borderlands GoTY and when it was "done" it brought me to the Steam sign in. I was not pleased because at the time it was not listed as being a Steam game. More annoying was when I bought Red Alert 3 from them and it was not stated that it uses Securom :hot:

Okay, that sounds a bit like what happens when you buy some retail boxed games that require Steam. If you insert the disc and run, it sets up a directory and then prompts you to go to Steam for the actual game files. In any case it requires Steam for the vast majority of the setup and files and, of course, to actually run. Naturally, if you happen to know it uses Steam the best way is to simply take the provided key and activate it on Steam, letting it handle the rest.
 
Asking just to make sure is the Magicka Collection page fully up to date? I know the collection on other sites is more updated so before deciding to redeem or not would like to make sure the listing is current.

I wish Gearbox would remove the extra Securom DRM from Zombie Island DLC and Mad Moxxxi DLC for Borderlands GOTY Steam version.
Steam's already DRM enough - we don't need anything on top of it!

SIDE NOTE:
Though, once you DL that Borderlands game through Steam, you can actually boot Borderland Steam version w/out running Steam.
While Steam's closed, just boot the EXE from the game folder or [better yet] make a shortcut of the game's EXE from the Steam folder.
Same games you buy directly from Steam can be run like that - i.e. many of the G4WL games.
Always good to keep that in mind, in case you have trouble booting Steam up or if Steam goes the way of the dodo [it's doubtful that Steam would go away anytime soon.]

I may be wrong, but: I believe since this is a Magicka collection, you should already have the required DLC w/ the game. It doesn't come with extra keys for each piece of DLC.

I haven't extensively tested it out, but I installed this on a separate Steam account last night and it automatically pulled up all of the different available suits that come with each of those dlc packs, so I would assume it added everything else as well. The only content that is not in the Magicka collection is the newest DLC which is why you're given a separate key for that addon.
 
I'm thinking about picking up MLB12K. What are the thoughts on the series?

I haven't played a good baseball game since the MVP series disappeared back in 2006 and I haven't played a PC baseball game since I owned MVP 2003. I could never get into any other MLB series for on reason or another. The controls for batting and pitching felt a bit easier right from the start whereas both MLB and The Show always seemed to take a bit more effort.

Although I've been hoping for any baseball game so I might jump on this deal regardless.

It appears that the Magicka Collection page is NOT up to date. Here are screenshots of the DLC (thanks Donkeymania for telling me how to find this!) that is listed after installing via the key that comes with the Plentiful Paradox bundle (note that "The stars are left" is listed - I installed that via the other key that comes with the bundle):

The above seems to line up with the Steam Magicka Collection page - you might want to take a look at that. I'm still not sure how to access some of the DLC (for example, Magicka: Vietnam is supposed to include new content beyond cosmetics, but it doesn't seem to be available from the menu, whereas "The Stars Are Left" (which I installed via the separate key) is a menu item), but I guess it is installed...

Thanks for checking this out! I didn't know how to check installed DLC until Donkeymania pointed it out to me. I thought I was missing keys because when I start the game, "The Stars Are Left" (the only DLC I had a separate key for) is listed in the menu whereas none of the other DLC is listed, which is what originally made me think something was not right. I'm still not sure how to access the other DLC in the game, but it does indeed seem to be installed.

Thanks for the info.

You access Vietnam via the challenges menu. Couple of the other DLCs are there too, oouple others are PVP maps. The robes you get to choose when loading up a game.

The only DLC that adds any type of continued adventure is "The Stars are Left". The rest of the DLC will add new suits and/or new challenge levels and dueling arenas. They weren't ever very extensive addons which was why those were always

There was a level cut from the console version. Gameplay is a bit different in that the suit in the console version acts more like it does in Crysis 2. Enemy AI is a bit off, in some ways good and in some ways bad. Console uses a checkpoint system, PC you can save whenever.

Maximum edition contains the expansion Crysis Warhead as well, which I don't believe is coming to consoles at all. The single player is not nearly as lauded as the base game (and it's kind of short) but it is still pretty good.

Crysis has the same limited-activations SecuROM DRM anywhere you buy it, including from Steam. Which makes Amazon the best place to buy it: Amazon support will give you a new key if you run out of activations. I don't believe Steam does the same (though please correct me if I'm wrong, it would be a minor load off my mind).
 
[quote name='bobphone']I can't believe this many people didn't have Crysis.[/QUOTE]


When crysis came out you needed a super high pc to run it. I didn't have a super video card at the time so I passed I have been on the fence for the 360 version but at 20 bucks I thought it was too much for a old game.

I am hoping this (maximium edition)is the original plus some expansions maybe.

I haven't used it myself, but EA has this option available on their website. I saw it mentioned earlier in this thread:

http://activate.ea.com/deauthorize/

Certain EA PC games with SecuROM and/or Solidshield digital rights management technology allow users to concurrently "authorize" up to a certain number of computers at the same time to play the games. Users can then play the game on any authorized computer they choose. If your EA PC game was released after May 2008 and has a machine authorization limit, you can manage your computer authorizations using EA De-Authorization Tools!

Once de-authorized, a machine "slot" will be freed up and can be re-used on another computer. De-authorization does not uninstall the game, however, so if you decide you want to re-authorize your computer later, all you have to do is re-launch the game while you are connected to the Internet.
Click to expand...

Seems a little bit easier than having to contact support to get a new license.

The PC version has drastically more foliage. Crysis without trees and grass and shrubs isn't Crysis.
Then again, I didn't get very far in neither Far Cry nor Crysis due to the rather bothersome AI.
 
It will be able to run it, but not very well, skyrim on ultra high isn't very good and i'm assuming you're not using the texture pack. Battlefield 3 on high is ok.

Also NBA 2K12 for the PC's multiplayer might suck, but it makes up for it by the modding community, man it looks so nice.

The pack contains Crusader Kings 2 and Victoria 2, which are similar games. Give them a spin and see if it feels like you'd want more but with different times in history.

Personally given CK2 is probably the best game of the genre Paradox has published (and also the most accessible) I'd say only consider the other games if you're a huge history buff and love the eras involved.

Mine will run BF3 on Ultra, but it's not as smooth as High. My graphics card is a GTX 660M so it's fairly decent. Not top of the line, but I know zero about building a PC and I'm not spending $2000+ for better graphics. I have an Asus republic of gamers and I've been highly impressed with the build and everything so far. Especially since i sold my Macbook Pro for $950 and got that one on sale for $1150 ;)

I believe you have a GTX 560m not 660m. I don't think they even make a 660m. I suppose it could be a 670m, but that is brand new and I doubt you would have found it for $1,150.

I also have an ASUS G series, and I love it. It's a fantastic gaming machine. Don't believe anyone when they say laptops are horrible for gaming. It may not hold up to a top of the line $2,500 desktops, but I'm willing to bet our laptops out perform 95% of all the haters desktops. Enjoy it. :cool:

That's the one I have, it says it's a GTX 660? And yeah I did get it for 1149 before tax at best buy, it was bought and returned so open box, but it looked as if it were used, put back in, then taken back. Still had everything and the full warranty. My specs are identical except BB had a little bit of a custom version that has a 1TB HDD, 8GB Ram, and a dvd drive instead of blu-ray.

But yeah they're great laptops. I am in love with it, personally I'd rather have it than a desktop because I'm not a hardcore PC gamer, and I can take it to a friend's house if we decide to play or anything.

The only laptops I have seen have a 670m. Like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230408&Tpk=asus g75

Doesn't your laptop have a sticker that says what kind of GPU it has? I'm a little curious now.
 
The ASUS G75 series has 2 tiers of GPUs: the GTX 660m and the GTX 670m.
[we've seen this before when the G73SW-BB had a Best Buy gimped GTX 460m (128 bit bus), and the conventional G73SW had a fullon GTX 460m (192 bit bus)].

The lower budget Best Buy G75 model has the GTX 660m; conventional G75 has the GTX 670m. GTX 660m is new tech [28 nm], GTX 670m is just a rebadged GTX 570m [40 nm]
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+17.3%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/5176239.p?id=1218621250769&skuId=5176239&st=asus%20g75&cp=1&lp=1

A better buy might be the new Toshiba Qosmio x870 with a GTX 670m card, but a dual-core i5. Will probably be around $1100 [launches soon].

I too am a fellow laptop gamer :D

Yep it does, it says nvidia GTX 660 ;)


Also I had bought a Qosmio from AWD, it was a total lemon. Wouldn't shut down, wouldn't even go to sleep and open back up. I also don't like glossy screens as much, and the touchpad/keyboard were not as good to me. Not saying they're all that way because they aren't, but ASUS has had a better track record for me in the past.
 
Wow, I didn't realize they had 660m's. I have one of the older 560m models and love it.

I always like to find people who realize the capabilities of laptops for gaming. They are very convenient.
 
Yea they do have 660ms, but their desktop counterpart isnt out yet that's why there's confusion. I can't wait till my 7850 comes in thursday!
 
Hey Tony,
finally got some time to start downloading all these games I have been getting, and I can't say how disappointed I am in the custom downloader.
The normal amazon downloader allowed you to specify a download directory, and it would download them to that directory.
This new one, swvg, it downloads directly to my SSD, and I don't want that to happen! I got over 1TB space for downloads, and that is where I want them.

Why can't they offer a option of where to download it ? This is so frustrating, it isn't funny.:wall: The support section says that it will only do that if space is low on C:. That is some silly logic going on there.

Can you please pass this complaint to the people that make your custom installer?

As of now, I am not going to buy anymore games from Amazon, until this is fixed. :no:
