    Haha, it's not a very great deal, but you can get a 5$ credit towards Metal Gear Solid Rising when you get any version of MGS HD (I'm just linking to the PS3 CE because that's the one I ordered)

    Considering people are doubting that game even exists, it's not much of a deal...

    go buy it and then go buy Deadly Premonition or Alan Wake, and bam, now it's game related and you'll enjoy both games a little more.


    Wow, that's tempting. I've been really thinking about finally watching Twin Peaks but knowing it ends on a cliffhanger has always driven me away from it.

    Yeah - the very, very end is infuriating. But the one, main, stronger story has a good and proper ending halfway through Season 2. It's absolutely worth it, as the last episode ever, dispite the huge cliffhanger, is just so awesome otherwise.

    If you have Netflix streaming, all of Twin Peaks is on instant view, including the pilot

    If you don't have Netflix, why not?

  • XeddicusXeddicus Registered User regular
    Because that's like the only thing they have for streaming (and I lost interest after the main story point got revealed halfway into season 2, one day I should probably finish it...).

    On topic: What are the chances DNF will be on sale again do you think? High? I think High.

    I'ts ok. I don't mind. Most of my gaming life will be so obsorbed in Skyrim for that month anyway, i'll need a few weeks before something else comes out...But really, a NEW ASSCREED for, well for me, 25 bucks cheaper! I'm sold. (typical console gamer). Especially considering November is wallet rape this year anyway.

    Is ACR Steamworks, or would it be through Amazon's download system? Anyone have any experience with the latter?

    ACR, being Ubisoft, more than likely won't be Steamworks. 1, 2 and AssBro weren't. They used the proprietary UPlay system. As far as Amazon's download system, I'm sorry, I can't help. All the games I've bought (til now) have been Steamworks titles.

    Yeah, same here. Bought plenty of download games from Amazon -- just never used their service. I don't want to miss out on this deal, but I also want to make sure Amazon's service isn't retarded before I grab it.

    Oh, who am I kidding? It's ACR for $35!

    I've bought a few digital games on sale from Amazon(non-Steam), and unless they've changed something, you don't even have to install a download manager from them to download it. I was always able to just download the game straight up. They don't have a client you have to launch the game from, either.

    Can that bf3 order from Amazon be registered on Origin? no Amazon downloads service for the UK so I'm thinking get someone in the USA to but it and send me the key. I'm just musing though, not really on edge over the deal.

    Lat time i checked they keep it for as long as you keep your account active + 2 years. So, 2 years after you account goes inactive, you will no longer be able to download it. Should be good enough.

    Yeah, that sounds fine to me. I am Amazon's biggest bitch, so I'm in no danger of my account going inactive. Thanks for the info, guys.

    On October 25th, Amazon will send you the serial through e-mail that you type into Origin to unlock Battlefield 3.

    It's not required to download the game from them. You'll download the game files from Origin just like how it works on Steam.

    In fact they're taking a 30% hit on the MSRP just to sell the code, not ship any actual product and secretly hoping people won't download the game from them hence using their bandwidth.

    so.

    If you buy a game that isn't tied to a digital download service (i.e. might and magic heroes 6), how do you go about getting said game, and get it in the future if needed?

    EDIT: Or shit, Amazon too I suppose. It's got it much cheaper.

    Amazon lets you download it until your modem is blue in the face.

  • The Dude With HerpesThe Dude With Herpes Lehi, UTRegistered User regular
    Do you just download the file(s) straight from amazon or is there a downloader? I think I saw on GMG there is a downloader.

    Amazon has their own little dinky downloader too. I just fired it up for the first time and it just starts downloading to wherever the hell they decided to, I'm assuming the god forsaken User folder somewhere. It doesn't tell you shit. And the help on their website is a lie: "Users\Public\Documents\Amazon Games & Software" my ass. Oh, guess I have a Mac and didn't know it. Folder is on the desktop.

    A couple pages ago the Arkham City at K-Mart deal was posted ($30 coupon when you buy the game). Is there anywhere that's listed on the site? I'm having trouble finding it, and I'm hoping it will work online.

    Edit: found the CAG thread, but not much about whether it works online. Ah well.

    If it's Steamworks and you want, I can order it for you, but my state has a bit of tax so it would be like 43.28$ or something like that.

    It was $12 3 days ago, too. I'm not sure why they say it's a daily now. Unless it was a mistake then... and I went to resume my download from three days ago and an "error" occurred and I had to re-download their stupid downloader to get it to work...

    How's the SP on ACB? I know the big deal was that it had MP, but is there enough SP to be interesting?

    The SP is just as big as Assassin's Creed 2. It also didn't evolve much from AC2, if you ask me. So it's good, but nothing close to the leap from AC1 to 2.

    Marketing failure. It wasn't a multi-player focused game. The single-player game is just as big as any of the others, and includes a multi-player mode that no one plays any more, just like most games these days.
