The Polynomial

Yep, easy. Just go to the game menu and select Arena 1 and collect snowflakes.

The defcon one was piss easy.

If you're lucky and Santa just happens to stay on the enemy's cities.

Divinity II is 8 dollars on Amazon. Can I activate on Steam?

You should generally assume no. Only the games on this list (or if it specifically says you have to activate it on Steam): https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

How dodgy is it for me to change my billing address from Australia to the USA to buy Sonic Generations from Amazon?

I know it won't really have any effect from the Steam side, but what about Amazon?

Not dodgy at all; they don't check anything for digital purchases.

Anyone want to trade some coal for my 33% off space marine? I assume it stacks with the daily deal so it would be useful if anyone wants to buy space marine today.

It doesn't. Unless it's gold, you can't use it until after the entire sale is over.

 

[alr1ght]

Rise of Immortals' servers are fucked. Won't boot.

 

[Liquid Helium]

Oh, that sucks.

 

[Grizza]

$10 for Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Amazon is insane. Best deal of the year.

Check the date, most coupons aren't usable until after the sale is over.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Rise of Immortals' servers are fucked. Won't boot.

There is a workaround.

Open the game's folder and boot the ROClient file, not the clientlaucher.

I bought Dow2 retribution ages back with no issue. Just be aware some games like Mafia 2 need a VPN to activate so do some research before buying.

I've done that, It doesn't matter, go for it

 

[Flunkie]

I just can't pull the trigger on Space Marine for $25. I'd like to think I'm saving my money for AC:R or Driver:SF.

 

[Gav47]

Has anyone done the Space Marine achievement yet? Is it hard?

 

[Kuroyume]

Anyone own Polynomial? Looks like it's a cool game. I'm going to try the demo but was wondering if anyone had anything good to say about the entire game.

Hold off for a cheaper price. The SP is decent length. But once it's done, it's done. Unless you're interested in MP.

What's the chance of Alpha Protocol being a Daily?

Oh, really?

Anyone know if Sonic Generations needs a VPN to activate?

I posted about it at the top of the last page in AusGAF, you nonce.

Make a new match. Choose an AI opponent (click the arrow next to its name and add it to your team's color, should be red by default I think). You can click on a name and click on the map to choose each player's territories. It works best if you choose Europe for yourself and China for your ally.

Once you are in the game place all your buildings in your territory (works best if you group them up) Press the advance time key (>>>) to reach defcon 1 quickly. Once you reach Defcon 1, right click your silos to turn them into nukes (top option) Each silo has 10 nukes. Select your silo and click on the ground to launch the nuke towards that area. Better wait till Santa is flying through Europe, as nukes have to travel less, and cover more ground with the explosion. Just anticipate Santa's trajectory and nuke the hell out of him.

Easy.

Thanks Sir! Works perfect!

I bought Sonic Generations yesterday from Amazon for a friend from Melbourne and he had no issues.

Saw this in another site :



Can anyone comment on the chances of this happening ?

*pray that my 16 pre-achived achivements are used*

There's no way to know, but I imagine that for all the games that have multiple achievements, only 1 will count for a gift. Some games have a lot of achievements like Revenge of the Titans.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Anyone own Polynomial? Looks like it's a cool game. I'm going to try the demo but was wondering if anyone had anything good to say about the entire game.

All I can say is that I've played it maybe five times and I don't know what you're supposed to do or what it's about. I think it might be more of a music visualiser than a game...

 

[Turfster]

If you're lucky and Santa just happens to stay on the enemy's cities.

You play a single player game without any enemies, set up your icbms and just nuke the fuck out of everything =p

 

[BiggNife]

That Toki Tori achievement was annoying as hell. The stiff controls made getting some of those snowflakes a lot harder than they should've been.

And of course I got a lump of coal for it.

PAM today had 5 holiday achievements, they only used one. I suspect any game that's featured will only have one. How many unique games are listed?

 

[atomsk]

so far I've only bought Dungeons of Dreadmor Complete and EYE: Divine Cybermancy

hoping Rock of Ages goes on a daily, and I'm pretty much set.

 

[Dice]

So I got a copy of Runaway: A Road Adventure, which I redeemed. I also just received some Christmas cash. Now say, if by chance the Pendulo Adventure Pack is on the daily deal recap at the end, if I were to get that, would I get a giftable copy of the one I already have?

over 70 last time I checked.

Oh, awesome. I've played DEFCON so much because it's the only (fun) thing my laptop will run and I hadn't a clue you could do that.

 

[Gileadxv]

That's a pretty accurate description of my time with the game as well.

 

[Forkball]

I missed Arkham City by about 30 minutes. RADICAL. Please go on sale again during the first week roundup.

Probably not.

 

[Artofwar420]

I must be the only one who enjoys my yearly forray into Toki Tori. Those achievements are indeed brutal, but to me they're the right kind of brutal.

 

[Tomodachi]

So I basically launch nukes all over the map? No way to know where the hell santa is?

Also, defcon crashes a lot for me

 

[Broder Salsa]

Silent Hill Homecoming

You might be lucky it's not available to you lolol

He really is. The game would crash every time I tried changing the graphic settings when it was released, not sure if it has been fixed but if the port wasn't bad enough the game itself is also a terrible excuse of a game.

 

[inky]

Nah, the achievement requires both speed and precision, but the controls are not designed with that in mind. I didn't find it extremely hard, just annoying.

 

[BiggNife]

I don't dislike Toki Tori, just the achievement itself. Some of those snowflakes require a level of precision that the controls clearly weren't made for.

edit: Wow inky took the words right out of my mouth

 

[Petrie]

is deus ex likely to be cheaper than $10 come summer sale time? The reality is I probably wont touch it till then anyways.

If you are the only player, Santa will appear in one of your cities, which you can fire around, and it's a big glowing white outline of a fat man on a sleigh.

 

[alr1ght]

Rise of immortals cheevo, yeah I have no idea what i'm doing so I won't even try.

[Davedough]

I was given it as a gift during the summer sale and I've put exactly 0.7 hours into it according to Steam. Its decent, but nothing made me want to go back because none of my friends played it.

 

[Mulligan]

GreenManGaming are reducing BatmanAC to £12 on boxing day, just a heads up for anyone contemplating the steam deal.

 

[s7evn]

Renegade Ops + DLC is $3 on amazon and can be activated with steam.

 

[pfkas]

Be wary getting DEFCON. It is crashing for me and a hell of a lot of other users on the Steam forums. There doesn't seem to be a common answer to getting it to work. I'm talking about the tutorial which shows you how to actually play the thing.

I've played for years and have never had an issue. Not once.

Not calling you or any of the people on the forums liars or anything, just saying that I never have had any issues. As far as I know the game hasn't been touched by the devs in years so adding a santa in could have fucked something up bad.
