I dunno. I just went to buy it and saw that it had been applied. You can click on buy and download then back out without any issues.

Maybe it is in your Amazon account.
d'oh!Too late.
Amazon doesn't list the coupons you have. You simply have to buy it, on the checkout page you see whether you have a coupon applied or not
It's not a coupon but rather credit that's applied automatically to any applicable orders. If you want to know if you have any, simply attempt to buy a 2K game or search your inbox for "Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit".
yeah, it is a little bit complicated.

thanks! i was searching for coupon, not credit.
I used it:
Subtotal of Items: $29.99
Discounts/Promotions - $5.00
It's less complicated and more silly. While you can view your promotional credit across Amazon's various departments, there's no further breakdown, so short of looking through your inbox and doing the maths yourself, you've no idea how much of your, say, $250 of games/software credit is for F2P junk versus 2K games.

Just finished Max Payne 3 tonight. Can't believe I didn't play it until now. It's an epic shooting gallery.
It's a solid TPS, mechanically, despite Euphoria getting in the way more often than it ought to (this didn't bother me as much as it did others). I just wish the cutscenes were skippable, although having said that it's been about 2 years since I've played the game at all, so if I were to play through it once more I probably wouldn't mind sitting through them again.

Most of them have been patched to be skippable, last I played. Was still annoying though, because how it places you in the middle of happenings. Thus I stopped skipping them.
(And ultimately stopped playing it altogether for that and other various reasons)
I should try to play through this again some day. I just need to find the willpower to watch all those cutscenes.
I will never understand the decision to ditch the glorious comics...

Would love another Saints Row game. But I gotta buy SRIV first >.<
damn i can't remember who was it here that told me beyond two souls got better at the last hour but i guess we'll have to agree to disagree cos i think it was actually all kinds of terrible lol
david cage, i love your insane mind and your ability to somehow make people fund your stupid games, but damn if this one wasn't an absolute trainwreck :/

lol i don't know what that franchise even is anymore
I recall R* patching in the ability to skip the real-time cutscenes, but not the pre-rendered ones. If you can now skip the latter once the level has actually loaded (instead of the game insisting otherwise until the very last millisecond) then that's great and exactly what should have been the case in the first place.
Whats with the 6s in the symbol? 666 the number of the beast?

With the way Volition ended IV they couldn't think of a proper script for 5 so they're skipping it and going straight for VI.
???
I don't know why anyone would assume Volition is gonna make anything non-SR for a while.

Instead of superpowers, we're getting powers from hell.
Or, I dunno, zombie invasion/hellgate.
Is that even possible after what happened in IV?
Worked for the Leisure Suit Larry series so why the hell not.
Anything is possible now in a SR game.
i don't think canon is something volition will be caring too much about
i hope they add variety in environments in sr5 and tone it down a bit tbh
like i think it would've been much more absurd to actually play the usa president and like take neighborhoods from terrorist, aliens, illegal immigrants, whatever rather than this whole single thing of being in the matrix or whatever
like random shit isn't as funny when everything is random, which is why i enjoyed the humor much better in sr3
Trying to sleep, saw this, noticed I'd received 2 promo credits for NBA2K14 specifically (they are limited to that game and that game alone).
So that's 112.
Anywho, to check credit value, go here. Hit "enter your code." You'll see how much credit value you have.
Oh man, wait, I have more!
Okay, okay. Done.
I think.

I really enjoyed Saints Row The Third, much more than I thought I would, and then when Saints Row IV went balls-to-the-wall crazy with superpowers I thought "where can they go from here?", guess we know now! Will be interesting to see if they keep the powers gameplay from IV or not. I've been working my way through IV after getting the GOTC a while back, feels a little more of a slog at the moment but I can't tell if that's just because I keep doing the side missions rather than moving the real story along.
Yeah I want them to dial it all the way back to SR2 levels. I enjoyed 3 and 4, but 2 is the pinnacle of the series to me, the perfect mix of wacky and realistic.
I don't really want it to be. I would rather the series return to it's roots, it was awesome when it was all gangs and stuff. I miss that.

Hmm, yeah, I don't think I was able to skip the opening credits, but for ex the one in the terrace bar yes. I'm not going to go back and check it though haha.
Let's not forget that Saints Row 2's world also just feels more naturalistic somehow, as if it's a real place, and Steelport never did.
Exactly. SR2 is the best GTA clone theres ever been. Sure it was janky, but in so many ways it was better than the GTAs of the time. If you made me choose between GTAIV and SR2 I'm picking SR2. SR3/4 vs GTAV and it's not even a contest though, GTAV wins hands down.
I won't deny that I loved the superpowers in SRIV, mostly because I hate driving around in sandboxes games for hours, but maybe they could find a way to tone down things a bit and still create interesting gameplay mechanics.
I don't think they're going to do this for SRV, though. They'll probably create something even crazier.
The superpowers were a great novelty, don't get me wrong, but for me at least Infamous fills that niche and does a far more consistent job of it than SRIV ever did. It's hard to explain, but to me SRIV everything just felt gamey (which I guess is fitting considering the simulation side of things) whereas in Second Son I feel like a true super hero (well villain coz screw being good in a game called Infamous).
yeah i think it's important to tone it down a bit because i think contrast is important to comedy. like you need something that's normal so crazy shit looks silly in comparison
imo sr3 was pretty good at that, i didn't find sr2 to be that funny tbh but i haven't played it in like forever so memory might be failing me.
sr4 wasn't terrible or anything but it felt safe as fuck to me and very unexciting too. yeah stan bush and being the president (and some weird character import bug that made my boss be topless during the first part for some reason made everything a lot more bizarre lol) is pretty hilarious but then there's so much that's just references that's just not for me
like getting inside a cardboard box is not funny, it's just namedropping another game that's actually funny :/
I don't think that's a good idea, the best thing about SR4 is craziness and overthetopness of it all!
I'd be content with a SR3 level game. It was definitely a good game too, had some amazing moments and it was grounded just enough that the wackiness still felt wacky. SR2 wasn't really that laugh out loud funny but it had a lot of wacky moments and the world in general was messed up with stuff like Freckle Bitches and the drive through churches that reduced your wanted level. The real joy of SR2 to me (and SR1 to an extent) was taking over the city and taking out the gangs. I don't know why but it was a simple pleasure I really missed in 4.
I dumped all my GMG credit into Wolfenstein TNO when that went on sale, great decision. Such a good game, I had no idea. Got it based off the recommendations here in Steam-GAF, which just goes to show you guys know good games
and bad rats
2K sales all day, every day.
If it is going to be a 2k sales again then they must have deals that are super great. Like everything for 1 dollar
