Hi CAGs,

I'm also here to answer questions you might have, get you closer to the developers by hosting Q&As, setting up podcasts, live streaming gameplay etc. If I don't respond to a question you have in thread please send me a PM. These ping my email address and make it more likely that I will see your question and respond more quickly.

FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam.

F.A.Q.S.:

1. Does the game I'm buying from Amazon Activate on Steam/Origin/Uplay? What DRM does the game use?

There are two places to identify DRM on a digital video game detail page:

At the top of the page, below the title:

16hm7a8.png


In the "Product Description" section:

r06ykl.jpg


2. Note on Electronic Arts Games - For the most part, EA games sold on Amazon do not activate on Steam. Most activate on Origin.

3. Note on DRM with limited activations:

Our Policy



4. Sometimes I'll do giveaways.

5. I work with developers and publishers to get fun (or at least what I think is fun) content to share with you all. Here are some examples:

a. Check out the Pax Gameplay videos here: Xcom: Enemy Unknown I played Xcom with Jake, the Creative Director for the game, a few months before the game came out Also, on this page, check out the Q&A, also a community driven event.

b. Check out the interview on this page: Borderlands 2 we did this interview at E3 with Randy Pitchford this year.

c. We've partnered with the ++GoodGames Podcast to feature many of the games we carry. They talk to the developers about the game development process, how the games are conceptualized and managed, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on putting together full link list and will update when I have it.

What else do we sell?

Xbox Live Points and Subscriptions:

1600 Microsoft Live Points
4000 Microsoft Live Points
12 Month XBOX Live Subscription
3 Month XBOX Live Subscription]
12 Month + 1 XBOX Live Subscription

Gamersgate has Need for Speed Run for $5 today. I wish that Amazon would match that price as I have Amazon gift credits. I also wish Amazon would re-run the Need for Speed Collection again as I missed it the last time.

That Arkham City in the pack is not the GOTY edition. It's just the base game.
 
[quote name='Dev518']Does your Laptop use Nvidia Optimus? Make sure that your discrete GPU is selected[/QUOTE]

This. I had a weird issue with my wife playing Sims 3 on the laptop. It was SET to run the game with the GPU, but would actually run it using Onboard graphics. I still don't know how I fixed it, but I tried fiddling with the optimus settings of which.to choose switching which graphical unit used back and forth, I think even upgrading drivers and Optimus profiles. Eventually it stuck. Only time it had ever happened.

One thing that will help is enabling the system tray icon.for Optimus. Black.and white means onboard, and a color graphic means discrete. Hover mouse over icon if you aren't sure, it will tell you.

It was Prostreet, Undercover, Shift, & Shift 2. No reason to stress too much over those entries.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Spec Ops: The Line: This is the first game that ran a little laggy/slow on my laptop :( Even on super low. So either it is really demanding (can sort of see) or maybe not well optimized? This is a fun TPS shooter so far. I love the setting (Dubai) and the shooting is good. Storyline is the strong point on this (not usually the case in shooters lbh) so that is a huge plus. I can see myself enjoying this game a lot.[/QUOTE]
I don't know your laptop specs but it runs smoothly on High with my GeForce 9800 GTX+ so it can't be too super demanding.

I'm really enjoying the game (think I'm coming up on the end) except for two minor quibbles:
(A) I dislike vehicle missions in my shooters. Fortunately this game has them at a minimum but I just don't like it when a game turns into a shooting gallery and takes away the option of movement on your part.
-and-
(B) Those "Heavies" take me out of the game. Not that it's realistic that I can get shot, hide behind a sandbag and heal up in ten seconds, but those dudes taking a couple RPGs to the chest just make me roll my eyes and detracts from the experience. Yeah, I know: Shoot 'em in the face

I'm mainly just grousing though. The game itself is solid and was a great buy for the $5.99
 
@TONY

I really hope you guys can sign Zenimax & Bethesda (RAGE from Id Software; Elder Scrolls series; Dishonored from Arkane Studios; etc)...

Seriously, it looks like from the reviews, Dishonored looks like it turned out awesome...
Please tell me you're going to sign Zenimax & Bethesda!

I thought Run was part of it as well?
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']So here are my mini reviews/first impressions on some of the games on sale:

The Darkness II: This game is just great fun. Full disclosure, the first game is one of my favorites and I finished on the 360 a long time ago. This one is just as much fun, if not more. Just non stop action, shooting, gutting, tearing apart, etc. I heard it's short so I can see myself finishing this one up this week.

Spec Ops: The Line: This is the first game that ran a little laggy/slow on my laptop :( Even on super low. So either it is really demanding (can sort of see) or maybe not well optimized? This is a fun TPS shooter so far. I love the setting (Dubai) and the shooting is good. Storyline is the strong point on this (not usually the case in shooters lbh) so that is a huge plus. I can see myself enjoying this game a lot.


Finally, can barely get away from Sleeping Dogs. Goodness that game is awesome, addictive, beautiful! Seriously, I spend time just driving around sometimes looking at the city. Driving is great fun. Spent 10 minutes beating the wheelie record for my steam friends! Love the steam integration on it. The combat is nice and fun to me especially with the counter system. At first I had a hard time, but once you get the counter system and environment kills down it becomes easier. Honestly, I already played through the first part before on the 360, but replaying it on the PC was just as much fun and I can't wait to see where the story goes.[/QUOTE]

Totally agree with your opinion on these games

Is Ambient Occlusion enabled ? if so disable it
 
[quote name='asheskitty']It was Prostreet, Undercover, Shift, & Shift 2. No reason to stress too much over those entries.[/QUOTE]

Shift 2 was really, really good imo.

For Oblivion - you should ask for Oblivion GOTY Deluxe Version, since that comes w/ EVERYTHING - even including the 9 DLC's.

Oblivion GOTY (Regular) only comes w/ Oblivion + Shiv Isles + KOTN...
It's MISSING the 9 DLC's.

For some reason, Bethesda ain't selling a Separate "9 DLC Only Pack" - which would help those gamers out who ONLY have Oblivion GOTY (Regular) and might actually decide to upgrade just to get those 9 DLC's.

That probably won't happen. Now if they had Fallout 3 and Oblivion for $9.99 or Fallout 3 and New Vegas I would still be all over that.
 
Does anyone know if the key for Grand Ages Rome from the Viva Big Bundle of Games is for Steam? I tried it without luck. I'm downloading the game through Amazon to see if I have to enter that key in the software directly.

The other keys got activated in Steam succesfully (Cargo, Storm Frontline Nation and Shadow Harvest Phantom Ops).

Wow, I didn't know any of those keys activated on Steam. Might keep an eye out on Storm and Shadow now.

[quote name='Estbarul']Is the code still working or not? It says "code is not valid"[/QUOTE]

It is one time use per account. If you already used it once that is why the error is coming up. If you haven't used it at all then the code might be dead.

That PM probably won't happen...

See this - from Tony's Post #2 in the thread about important extra information:
Notes on price matching:

1. Amazon DVG doesn't match physical disc deals
2. AND doesn't match International digital download deals - i.e. Gamersgate, GreenManGaming, GOG & GetGamesGo.

It was a surprise for me too after buying the bundle for $10. Saw the View Product Key thing in my Library and just had to check them on Steam :lol:

Shadow Harvest Phantom Ops requires Steam no matter where you buy it (which is why I didn't).

Steam had them all at $5 (not all of them GOTY) during summer. So I can see Tony donig a moro/oblivion for 5 and maybe the other two (f3 and LV) for say 7.50? You're prob right - 10 is a bit too cheap but maybe 12.50?
 
[quote name='MysterD']OCTOFUN1 = 25% off whatever you buy.
I think it can ONLY be used once, though...


See this post here:



EDIT:
Yes, it's ONE time usage for this particular "OCTOFUN1" code, see here:[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I think I came too late :(

I only wanted Batman AC (already have AA GOTY)... and with that discount it would be a nice price!. I'll wait until next time...

Hey man,

We'll be doing a Need for Speed sale in October. NFS: The Run for $5 will be part of it.

Stay tuned.

The code is done for now, we're analyzing impact and determining if/when we want to run another.

[quote name='Corpekata']C'mon Amazon, release ze XCOM keys![/QUOTE]

[quote name='Corpekata']Got an email that XCOM has been charged. Says I should be able to download, but am not. Guessing there's just a slight delay?[/QUOTE]

You should get your key by 9PM PST. With pre-orders like this we start processing payment a few hours early because there are so many orders.

There's a lot of technical wizadry that goes into changing the release date on a product (pre-load and key delivery are tied to release date/time) and we took ALOT of XCOM pre-orders, we didn't want to monkey around with it so close to release.

Apparently there's been a Chrysalid spotted near the hamster cage. The Skyranger is en route, but the hamsters have to hunker down and wait for rescue. You don't want them becoming zombified, mindlessly charging your account for full-priced copies of console games.

Wait...I thought a bunch of aliens from XCOM tried to abduct Amazon's hamsters...?

Also, I heard all kinds of rats arrived from Dunwall (the location in Dishonored) to take the place of all of them Amazon hamsters...

This is one reason why I wish so many PC games weren't tied to Steam. It is the single-point-of-failure for your entire game library. Of course I am sure that Steam's fast and available technical support helped you get right back into the game, NOT.

Thumbs up on the upcoming Need for Speed sale though especially as those games won't require Steam.

That does look good! Love zombie games, particularly walking dead! Looks awesome!
