[quote name='Motoki']on The Witcher 2

re: Steam activation

It was on Valve's list at one point because the Russian version published by 1C, and only that version for that area (Steam checks IP location), has Steamworks built in. Valve's list didn't specify this and just said 'The Witcher 2 keys in the format ABC-XYZ-123' and it caused a lot of confusion which is probably why they removed it .

re: TW2 Combat vs TW1

The Witcher 2's combat is much more action oriented and fairly standard to what a modern console game player would expect for the most part. It's very different from that of the first game and I think those who took issue with the combat in the first game will appreciate it here. That said, I don't think TW1's combat is bad per say, just different and it does take some getting used to. The first game is more of an RPG while this one is more an action/RPG hybrid.

re: Enhanced Edition

Since no one else mentioned it, I'll throw it out there. The Witcher 2 is getting a free update coming on April 17th to the Enhanced Edition. This coincides with the release of the XBox 360 version. The developer has said that any additional content that gets added for the 360 version the PC one will get for free and that's what they are doing.

I don't know too much about the specifics of the update, but from what I understand it entails adding some additional content toward the end of the game which some people had felt was rather abrupt. In any case, there's a free update coming in a couple of months with additional content so be on the lookout for that if you buy the game somewhere other than Steam that doesn't automatically update.

re: Steam sale

That brings me to my last point, although I have no official confirmation on this so take it with a grain of salt, Steam generally puts high profile games on sale when there is a big update released. I think it's highly likely The Witcher 2 will go on sale on April 17th, midweek madness probably, which means it's unlikely to go on sale before that. For those hoping to stack a coupon with a sale I think it is doubtful that will be able to happen since I don't believe the game will go on sale prior to the coupon expiring.

This seems to be the cheapest you will get The Witcher 2 for at least the next couple of months and probably after that. Steam has never had it this low and I think that $19.99 (50% off) is more likely for their next (probably April) sale.[/QUOTE]

This info is awesome, thanks man!

[quote name='r9800pro']Maybe my question was missed so I'll ask again
Will I be able to gift The Witcher 2 if I buy it from my Amazon account ?

And Tony, I really hope the 40 games would include Shift 2 Unleashed and Dead Island :lol:

As for Payday, this game even for $10 is totally worth it :applause:

[/QUOTE]

We don't currently have gifting functionality in place. It sounds like some people on this forum have found workarounds but I can't speak to their efficacy because they are just that, workarounds...sorry

.

Right now Dead Island and Shift 2 aren't on the slate for inclusion in Farewell to Feb, I KNOW that Dead Island is a definite no go but I'll re-check on Shift 2.

Also, Payday will be significantly less than $10...woot.

Shift 2 would be great coz I already got Hot Pursuit and The Run and with that XBox 360 Wireless controller for Windows that I got recently (from Amazon btw

) after so many years with KB+Mouse I am really enjoying racing games

If Payday is $5 I will buy some copies for friends to co-op (already got a Steam gift during Holiday sale). The game is awesome :applause:

This review is from: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (DVD-ROM)

The review you're looking at (I think) is for the DVD-ROM, or packaged good, version of the game. This means this guy got a physical disc, and his issue seems to be that he doesn't have an active internet connection.

The version we're distributing comes with a key that you need to use after you install the game, but it is used to give you the bonus stuff seen here:

Premium Edition Contents

DIGITAL GAME
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings digital game.

MAKING-OF DIGITAL DVD
All the cinematic materials related to game - trailers, dev diaries, gameplay footage, interviews and making-of exclusive video.

DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK
in-game music.

DIGITAL WORLD MAP
A map of the game's world.

DIGITAL GAME GUIDE
The Witcher 2 strategy guide for both novice and experienced role-playing fans.

DIGITAL GAME MANUAL
A rulebook and interface explanation to help you get started.

DIGITAL PAMPHLET
A Digital representation of one of the in-game items.

DIGITAL PAPERCRAFTS
Two papercraft dolls - Geralt and one random character for collectors.

From what Atari and CDPROJEKTRED has told me, the need to use the code is patched out after you get your bonus stuff.

Does that make sense? If not let me know.

Here..it does not activate in Origin. You have to download the DLC then apply a generic key code.

download this

Here is the CD Key for it

Before everyone freaks out that is a generic key that EA gives to everyone. It was given to me by an EA rep this morning and is the same key as people were given in this thread

If it says that all the activations are used up. contact EA support and they will give it more activations.

I'm guessing the patch requires installation from the DVD first and then downloading the patch as a second installation. Whereas the download version probably already has the patch implemented within the installation files.

Hence the DVD version doesn't equal the download version.

Even though I am not normally fond of "Buy X game, get $5 off Y game later", I think January's Best Sellers of 2011 Promo worked VERY WELL for numerous reasons. The list was so extensive that you could use the $5 off coupon on; there were games constantly being shifted on and off the list; the prices on a lot of those games were cheap [even w/out the coupon; prices were even better w/ the coupon]; AND you had a WHOLE month or so to find something to burn the coupon(s) on.

As for the "Buy NBA2K12, get $5 off MLB 2K12", that list is extremely LIMITED b/c that $5 off coupon can only goes towards one game. It'd be better if there was a list of games we could use the coupon with - better yet, it'd be better if the coupon went towards a List of 2K Sports Games, to fit the sports theme you seem to have going there.

Well, not that I should have to defend my statement, I will. Most of the games on that list I already had.

W/ coupon...
Civ 4 Complete was $4; Civ 5 [base game] was $4; TW: Shogun 2 was $2.49.
Amazing deals just w/ those alone.
Heck, that was just the tip of the iceberg, during that sale.

EDIT:
I think even Alice: Madness Returns was somewhere around $2-3, if I recall...
I think BF: Bad Company 2 and Vietnam DLC were quite cheap, too.
Wasn't Crysis 2 like $5 at one point, too?

I'm all for Amazon's promotions; to complain about extra discounts, even if you disagree about the implementation is asinine. If you don't care for it, you can always pay full-price at the other Big Guy in the Puget Sound area.

Sorry wasn't trying to make you feel like you needed to defend your statement, I was just surprised.

The reason I asked the question at all is because I'm wondering what I missed. I spent hours researching what deals were in the marketplace before adding games/putting them on promotion to make sure they were the extremely competitive deals in the marketplace before we pushed them live. Again, if you want to shoot me a PM I'd be happy to discuss but I'm curious what games you were interested in on the list that were cheaper elsewhere...i know that no one else was giving away Dead Space, GTA IV, and Assassin's Creed for free...or Alice for $2.49, Crysis for $4.99 etc...those were all prices after coupon.

As always thanks for the feedback, if we run promos that don't sit well I definitely want to know about them so we don't repeat them and waste everyone's time.

When the coupons were up there were very few games that I wanted but that didn't mean it was a waste. What I (and maybe others) did was to get other copies for friends and/or trade later and I for one traded extra DNF key for AC: Brotherhood and MOH for Dirt 2 during Steam's sale

Both DNF and MOH were FREE from Amazon promo

I also bought an extra key of Crysis 2 for $5 and am sure I can make a good use of it

Wow, what an amazing price! You can expect 3 purchases from me.

It is pretty amazing how far Amazon has come in the digital gaming market is such a short time. For four years I only bought games from Steam or Direct2Drive. Mostly steam. Had someone told me last year that most of my gaming dollars would be going to Amazon for the last part of 2011 and all of 2012 (so far), I'd have said they were crazy. But really, I haven't purchased a game from Steam since their summer sale last year and I've bought at least 20 games from Amazon. I bought 6 copies of Dungeon Defenders to pass out t friends and snagged the Crysis deal, Dragon Age pack, Homefront etc...

I hope you guys are making good money on these deals you are handing out. You deserve it. You have pretty much gained a monopoly when it comes to my gaming budget.

Glad you're digging the deals

we're loving how well you all are responding to them. Our promotions like this are definitely a volume game though, so the more friends you tell and the more successful the promotion is, the more likely we'll run a similar one again. It is super easy for me to walk into a meeting and say "hey guys, we should do this, because when we did something similar before we sold a ton of copies and look what people said all over the internet".

I'm not kidding when I say that I pull up the following threads (or relevant threads in the case of Slickdeals) in almost every weekly meeting when we talk about why our promotions are successful and why it makes sense for me to spend so much time building the community here (outside of the fact that you all are awesome to interact with):

Has Amazon thought about 4 pack prices like Steam has for some of its games? Usually multiplayer/co-op. With the amazing deals you're having, they come out cheaper than 4 pack, but for non-deal days, it would be a great incentive I think.

Yeah, we've talked about it for sure, and it is one of those things we've added to our development roadmap. I don't have clear visibility into when we'll be rolling it out though.

Cheers,
Tony

Tony,

Any hints whether Alan Wake will be part of a deal when it's first available on Amazon?

I know you guys are working hard on the upcoming sale, and that you're working on getting Alan Wake up, I guess the question is - will the stars align right away, or are we looking a couple weeks at least before a sale?

Thanks
