Support NeoGAF

[Tektonic]

So I entered the key into Desura and got a completely different game.

what game? i created the giveaway, and cardinalmind won a key - that didn't work. I'm emailing support now - some of these bundlers are just terrible..

Amazon's checkout system doesn't cross-reference billing info against user account info unless the product is flagged as valid only in North America.

With that said is amazon ok with people buying things cross region?
I've always been a bit wary.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

edited: I'm pretty sure it's not IP, it's the card location that matters.

I don't think either matters. To buy from Amazon.com I just had to create a second amazon account where I claim to live in a McDonald's somewhere in New York. They don't care that my credit card is from Austria and is also registered on a european amazon account, and I obviously only buy keys or music downloads.

Absolutely. I've had many orders manually verified without issue. The address "loophole" is something Amazon could close very easily if it actually wanted to, as evidenced by the recent change to Take-Two (2K and R*) products.

So it seems that the mobile ports of San Andreas had to remove certain tracks due to licensing. That would explain the missing tracks in the new beta.

To compare:

PC Beta (missing songs):



Mobile (missing songs):



It's almost identical.

I'm gonna backup my current version just in case.. This sucks if true.

what change? They region locked on Amazon too?

living inside McDonald's must be tough. So much noise and bad food too (><)

 

[Knurek]

Would be great if Rockstar put some songs in place of the ones they removed from San Andreas.
Heck, there's loads of public domain demoscene songs, if they don't want to splurge on new licenses...

 

[Oreoleo]

So I sent an email to GMG/Playfire about my Playfire rewards not showing up in my GMG account, and it turns out they are literally unable to do anything about it because, even though I used the same email for both accounts, one begins with a capital letter and the other does not.

I am at a complete loss for words. What year is this that they can't work around case-sensitivty?

Seriously. What the fuck. Absolutely incompetent.

 

[liezryou]

12 keys is the lowest price on that, though. Not really worth it when you consider that the DLC is just $2.97 all up.

Your russian is overcharging you, by alot.

 

[toddhunter]

I still don't understand how Amazon works if you are in EU. They don't accept paypal, and your credit card info includes your actual place of residency. It just doesn't make any sense.

Basically it works because Amazon gives no fucks and is big enough to get away with it.

If that ever changes it'll be a sad day indeed.

The keys themselves aren't region-locked, but, as I mentioned before, Amazon's product listing is.

I'm referring to existing spares. Prices tend to go up after a sale since it becomes a seller's market, and there aren't a lot of cheaper spares as the sub isn't available on Eastern European stores and so it requires the cross-region purchasing trick to purchase, which (relatively) few partake in.

 

[Tizoc]

Is there any way to improve texture quality in Enslaved? I followed the guides that stated to edit the ini file but the game...leaves much to be desired

 

[TheLetdown]

I have my sources and yes it's reliable.

RE: 13 dollar Witcher 3...

Are they region-locked at all? Steam gift or key?

I'm currently playing through the Witcher 2 (on Act 2) and recently finished the first book. I was seriously considering plunking down for the game at its current price on Steam, but if there's a way to save $30-ish dollars...

Nope. The PC and PS360 textures are identical.

The Eastern European sub is still completely free and has never actually been region-locked.

Someone with the exact same name as me at Google HQ sure loves to buy digital games from Amazon.

Weird.

Don't get your hope up. I highly doubt I'll be able to flip those Alien codes to buy you all Witcher 3.

Looks like I might have to throw down some money to try and buy 10 copies. Gotta start saving now.

I mean, at least sell one copy of Alien and pick up a bunch of copies of Bad Rats to give away

A shame, as while the character models and faces are good, everything else is rather...PS2 era-ish heh.

Witcher 3? But I want Divinity: OS

That's might be more feasible. Considering I might be able to get Divinity for a bit cheaper..

@Cheddahz. Oh there will be some Bad Rats regardless.

I'm actually more interested in the Alien game. I just couldn't get comfortable with the ability menu wheel in Witcher 2... Made it a lot less fun for me.

I've gotten used to the ability wheel. The inventory though. That thing is an abomination.

edit : on the topic of W2, did they remove mutagens from a patch or something? I can't find any skills that accept them in the tree. I have a bunch sitting in my inventory and can't figure out how to use them.

 

[tioslash]

The steam store page for The Witcher 3 has been updated with all the languages that will be available, or is it already showing like that for some time?

Last time I checked it didn't. Probably come as a bless for all those people freaking out on the steam forums about the game not supporting english haha, or the RU version only being in russian.

 

[liezryou]

13$ for witcher 3 is quite the stretch. Maybe 14$ if someone is selling to you at literally no profit to themselves. But i doubt anyone would do that for 44 copies.

 

[alr1ght]

Just wait 2 years.

Ooooo are we talking about Witcher 3?

You guys know the Collectors Edition is the only answer... Come on.

This is the first Collectors Edition of a game i've ever bought.

Well it can still be had cheap, just not that cheap.

GMG's support is dog shit, the only way I get results is by posting on their Facebook page so I suggest giving that a try because that response don't make a lick of sense.

No, no, no, I'm totally down to buy it myself. I almost went full price (minus pre-order and owning the other games discounts) on Steam just from being on a Witcher roll. 13 bucks is just such a drastic discount that I'll have to track down a seller... or a middleman...


In gaming news, I've been on complete edge for a few weeks on the personal side of my life, so when I beat Sinh

the gnarly dragon!

in the DS2 DLC the other week, I was shaking so badly that I had to put the game down. I really want to jump into DLC2 and maybe re-roll, but my nerves just aren't feeling it.

I already have both now... lol... what should I say ?

 

[kiyomi]

No worries. It's called In Between. Never heard of it. :3

Oh, sorry. Depth Hunter.

ok, i've emailed them again. sorry about that - garbagedump by name and nature it seems.

(p.s. it's dailyindiegame that seems to be giving out either a) used or b) totally wrong keys - what can you expect for $1 and change)

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.

Right? Unfortunately the taxes here for games and in general anything related to software or hardware are ridiculous.

Never really got into the indy craze and im looking to dip my toes further.

Wasteland 2! Here's hoping it's half as good as Divinity OS.

hardware revealed. there doesnt seem to be anything that would make me reconsider AK5 as my #1 weapon choice

There are some recommendations in the OP. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is my favorite so far.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter looks pretty interesting
