Amazon Digital Download FAQBlizzard said:Son of a...hmmmmm. Digital download, so I don't have to pay Amazon shipping. How does that download system work? Is there any DRM involved with running the game, install limits, being online, etc.?
Dryst said:Anymore reviews for King's Bounty? Brigandine/FFT are my all time favorite games... does the game stay fresh and fun being able to recruit a bunch of different monsters in your party or does it get reptitive?
Sysgen said:Interested in Lost Horizon? It's $5 on Amazon
TheFightingFish said:Games like Fire Emblem and VC are actually pretty different from King's Bounty. Heroes of Might and Magic is the closest comparison, or maybe some thing like Age of Wonders.

So it looks like they'd come with whatever the retail DRM is. I don't know what DRM Lost Horizon has. Those Amazon prices are quite good for several games, actually. $5 Witcher, $5 Bioshock 2, cheap Mafia II, cheap Civ 4 complete, etc.Trouble said:Amazon Digital Download FAQ
Fairly reasonable terms. If you get lucky you can buy a game that activates on Steam, and just plug the key in and download via Steam. I did that with Mafia II (hat tip to Javaman for the heads up).

Hot Pursuit, AssCreed II and SC: Conviction are notably cheaper on Amazon as well.Blizzard said:So it looks like they'd come with whatever the retail DRM is. I don't know what DRM Lost Horizon has.

STOP THE PRESSES!
As someone pointed out, BOTH ArmA games can be had for $12.50 total on Amazon instead of $20 on Steam for just the sequel. :lol Now I'm tempted!

It's $5 on Amazon by itself. Disclaimer, don't know if that's compatible with Steam...Wallach said:SON OF A BITCH I SAID CROSSWORLDS NOT THE WHOLE PACK
TheFightingFish said:This formula actually worked much better in Heroes of Might and Magic as in those games you had enemy (or other player) heroes actively running around and fighting the same mobs and looting the same treasures. So in those games you actually had a reason to be both smart and picky about who you fought and when you fought them. But in KB it's just you versus the static world so you have no reason not to just safely grind mobs in the easiest fashion. Especially since tackling tougher enemies will just kill more of your troops (even if you win) and thus requiring you to run back and forth to refill your troops even more often. It really just seems like a grind game to me, charming for sure, but just a grind.

Everyone keeps comparing King's Bounty to games that as a former console peon, I have never played. I wish I had a damn clue what makes these games different from stuff like FFT or Fire Emblem.

CrashPrime said:Is it bad when I see the Crysis deal, and wish I didn't already have it (from the last Christmas Sale) because it's such a good deal, and then realize I haven't played more than 30min of Crysis, and I have never installed Warhead. :lol
Gabe, you sly dog you.

fatty said:Have a question about playing Dragon's Age: Ultimate Editon.
Do I need to create an online EA account to activate the DLC?
On the main options screen it gives me choices to redeem individual DLC codes but I only have the two codes, one for UE and one for UE DLC. When I try to start a new game it says I need to log in with an account that has previously purchased the content, and the content I have now is installed but not authorized yet.
I don't care about an online account with achievements, wallpaper, etc., I just want to play the gameb but would rather not create an online account to do so.
Blizzard said:I'm going to wait until the end of the sale on the Sherlock Holmes Steam pack, since I suddenly find myself wanting to play adventure games again. Overall, the Sherlock games are at least decent, right?
I'd also wait for the Aura and Aura 2 games (they seem Myst-like and I saw some decent impressions) but it's $2.50 total on Amazon for them, so I'm going ahead and trying them.
Thanks, I'll ask there!azentium said:.Nimrod and Polk are helping people get Crysis in the gifting thread.
Yeah, there were two sets when I said to install the complete pack, I thought it was weird but left them all checked anyway. Maybe they wouldn't appear if you uncheck the ones that don't affect the download size at install. Doesn't bother me because I always have it set to only display installed games and they aren't on that list.Truespeed said:Is anyone getting duplicate entries of Civilization IV in the Steam game list?
