Amazon Summer Sale July 1 | Not steamy but very hot (non-US buyers: read OP)
- Thread starter Nelo Ice
- Start date
Tab and space bar respectively. I had to figure out the tab thing out pretty quickly or I was going to skip all those prompts. You gotta hold down tab for the options to show up just like on the controller though.
I used kb+m for the entire game except for the part near the end where
you're controlling the big robot, because that was really fucking frustrating to control and I had to keep dragging my mouse

Any idea if Guild Wars is going to be included? I'd like to try the older ones out prior to the sequel.

Tony has never said a single word about non US purchases. People who use a fake address to purchase games from outside USA are bypassing the system and as an Amazon employee he simply cannot endorse it or provide any support. All he can do is completely ignore it, which he does. I don't understand why people keep asking him about it every 2 pages. I thought this would be the most obvious thing in the world.

Want to announce some new deals?

If Amazon starts blocking non-US purchases, I'll blame you.

I've found that people on Neogaf don't read the OP. Even if the title of the thread says to read it.
That and apparently I have to spell out everything in the OP step by step.

It's not even about reading the OP here. It's a matter of common sense. Using a fake address is borderline fraud and we're lucky that Amazon hasn't cracked down on it. And asking an Amazon employee to provide support for it... what the fuck?
Yes, it's a Steamworks game.

Nah its a good OP just people are lazy, or dumb. But I chose to be optimistic and say lazy.
Ya Tony is awesome about that type of thing. I'm glad we have someone around here to do things like this for us and sending him a PM to help him on fraud is a quick way of things like this thread never happening again.

Hopefully Monday! Going to be calling people like it is my job tomorrow...see what I did there?

You mean someone is going to ask if an easily googled questioned, already answered 20 times in this thread, and in the OP about Binary Domain being Steam activated?
I've seen the thread in CAG long before this, and I just don't know how Tony does it. Responding to the same questions over and over again, every page.
Games like the Total War Bundle are saying Unavailable. Sorry if this was already answered, but I have noticed several unavailable games/bundles but no mention in the links. Does this mean that the available keys are gone? Would it be possible (now or in the future) to get Steam keys for the other games in that bundle (or at least Total War Rome + Alexander, don't care about Medieval). Loving the sales and glad I have been following this thread since Day 1.

Hey there,
Good question.
The Sega bundles were available through 7/6 then the individual pricing reverted to 50% off.
As for the Steam keys, we may eventually get them for all Sega titles, but if we do we won't likely be able to provide them retroactivley. This isn't 100% but I can't make any promises as of yet.
Cheers,
Tony

Is Need for Speed: The Run supposed to be on sale right now? It's showing up in the "Best Deals of July" list for me, but it's still listed at $40.

I bought Sonic CD and it runs fine for the most part until I get to the special stages. They are really sluggish on my setup.
Phenom X4 820 @ 2.8GHz
4GB of DDR2
Gigabyte 7850
1920x1080
I did the normal stuff, update drivers and update Direct X but it is still sluggish. Any suggestions?

Yes the game gets really good.
The voice commands are all about enunciation, broseph. Sound those vowels and consonants!
I don't. I have a boston/maine accent so...

Grab the demo on steam and see how you like it.
For some reason the game runs super weird for me. I have way above the specs required, but I get terrible framerate. Uninstalled and reinstalled too, no change.

The Warhammer stuff goes off sale in like 2 hours FYI. If you want it grab it tonight.

My bad I saw this and wanted to comment. We've kicked this idea around a couple of times and are shopping it internally. Don't have any takers yet though, if we get some you guys will be the first to know

That's weird; I have a ghetto ass 2008 Macbook Pro with an 8600 and I played SCD at 60fps steady. I don't know what to say. A background process interrupting, maybe?

awesome XD
Edit: oh also tony have you all considered a deal on rayman origins?
Could be the fact that the game is likely running in an emulator and intel processors are hands down better for that sort of thing.

Everyone should be buying Binary Domain. If you were a fan of Alpha Protocol, then you should DEFINITELY be buying Binary Domain - lots of similarities between the two in terms of feel and tone. Also very evocative of Ghost in the Shell in the overall atmosphere (not to mention the fact that they're a group of ex-military smart-asses tearing through Tokyo).
Earlier in the thread, Tony asked for feedback on why we thought Binary Domain didn't do well initially, and my reasoning after playing a bit was chiefly because it was marketed as a Japanese Gears of War clone. Now that I'm almost at the end, though, I think that it has less to do with how it was marketed, and more to do with the developers doing great things in areas that are simply difficult to market. Things like writing likeable characters and entertaining banter, interesting cinematography, environmental atmosphere, the general feel of playing the game, and other things that don't generally work well in a trailer are what keep me loving it. Take all that out and you're left with a generic dudebro third person shooter. I'm not too sure what Sega or any other publisher could have done to make these things more apparent in the advertising, which is a shame because I'm sure the budget for the game was no small matter.
tldr; game fucking rules buy now and tell your mama i loved her

That couldn't be it. Sonic CD wasn't an emulated iso, but the rewrite using Taxman's retro engine, thankfully.

I have to say, Amazon never disappoints with its digital download sales. Thanks Tony! I picked up a few games over the past few days, including Max Payne 3, Binary Domain, Warhammer DoWII Complete, Bulletstorm, Space Marine, and X-COM (as if I don't already have a million games in my backlog).
Specifically however, like many others, I really have to recommend Binary Domain. It's fun gunning down robots, and the dialogue is very entertaining. I've enjoyed it more so far than any Gears game I've played (yeah, the inevitable comparison to that series). Highly worth it, pick it up if you have any interest at all in third-person shooters. You won't regret it.

Don't do this.
