What's the fastest way to turn Amazon credit into steam cash?

I can seemingly only buy a physical gift card on Amazon.
 
Picked up Edith Finch and House in Fanta Morgana tonight after putting it off for a while.

Only put in an hour of EF, but I'm digging it so far. Have an early morning tomorrow, so I plan on wrapping up the second half after work tomorrow evening.
 
So I just got an Amazon gift card for my birthday. How do I turn that into steam cash fast as possible?

On Amazon all I can buy are physical steam gift cards....no digital that I can see....

Any quick easy solution?

I am not sure if you can buy Steam cards with Amazon credit.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201138990

However Amazon does sell Steam games. They will price match some of the sale games like Nier for example. Be careful though as some are for other launchers like Uplay or Rockstar Social Club.
 
AdVenture Capitalist has a achievement for buying 100 Lemonade stands, can be done in about 5 minutes and game is only 235MB so it won't take long to download.

I'm craving a good racing game career mode. Anything worthwhile? I know Assetto Corsa is supposed to be good but that the career mode is eh. I miss my GT3 career.
 
How rough is D: The Game? Does it hold up at all? I honestly cannot recall if I played this game back around it's release, or only played the sequel. Only a little over a $1 plus trading cards makes it seem like it may be worth it overall.

How much different are PoE and Divinity from one another?
Sorry this is a bit of a jumbled mess ...

Pretty different. Divinity is entirely turn-based with lots of emphasis on the terrain environment factoring into battles (e.g., break a barrel of oil with an arrow and then light it on fire with a fireball spell), but with less focus on story.

Pillars is real-time with pause, which changes the flow of combat quite a bit. It also spends more time fleshing out its (arguably) more interesting world. I can't remember a damn thing from the plot of Divinity, but I certainly can from Pillars. That said, the combat in Pillars is good, but probably not as good as Divinity.

Hopefully that helps?

How much different are PoE and Divinity from one another?
key differences would be tone and combat systems

pillars is a really traditional d&d inspired rtwp game, that's generally serious and "realistic". story and characters are really good and the universe is really deep too, although gameplay wise it's kind of a known quantity. if you played an old crpg you know how pillars plays.

divinity is turn based and a lot more mechanics driven, so you can do a lot of fun stuff like teleport around to break quests in interesting and fun new ways, you can do shit like use one character to talk to an npc and get their attention, while another character loots their stuff, and the game is generally a lot goofier so this works really well. the story and world and all that is not that good tho, i found it to be not generic or bland but still uninteresting

also divinity has an interesting co-op system but i didn't want to subject anyone to my glacial gameplaying pacing so i didn't test it out much

overall they're fairly similar games, both are really good and different takes on a traditional rpg

It's about 41.00 more than I wanted to spend....


I'm thinking about cutting out Gaurdians of the Galaxy and waiting for a deeper sale on that. How was that game in comparison to other telltale btw?

I asked something similar about Guardians, I want to buy it but I'm put off by the ridiculous performance issues of Batman.

Saint's Row 2 is one of if not the worst port of all time just so you know!

No point buying it now, they haven't finished all the episodes yet.
 
I feel like Mafia 3 is a spiritual sequel to that one Punisher game that came out on ps2 and xbox.

I got Fata Morgana (hope it lives up to the GAF hype), Half Minute Hero bundle, Umihara Kawase bundle, and TitS FC. I'll probably get Holliw Knight with my next paycheck.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
I hate to ask again, but has anyone played AC: Syndicate, and if so, do you recommend it?

Just finished it on PS4 last month and thought it was merely alright. A lot of bluster about it being one of the better AC games at launch, but I really didn't find it all that different or superior to AC Unity having now played both(especially since Unity is all fixed up from its rough launch).

It's Assassins Creed in Victorian-era London. In the mood for AC? You will get what you expect. No real surprises, although nothing inherently wrong about that either. The grappling hook does make traipsing around the city a bit less tedious than in past games though.

I don't understand this. I've downloaded the Polish language for The Witcher 3 and selected it in Properties but the voice language is still in English when I am in the game. I have also restarted Steam but that didn't work either.

Why would you want to change the voices. English Geralt is superior.
Stick with movie subtitles, mate.

I loved both of those games. The brutality Lincoln Clay exercises almost flippantly against the mob men is a sight to behold. Really wish that Punisher game was on digital platforms , still boot up the Xbox copy from time to time. I wonder if it runs well on PCSX2.

How is Wasteland 2? I'm kinda looking for something to scratch that Divinity:OS itch. Is it closer to Fallout 1/2?

sort of, tho it's more combat driven than fallout and the setting isn't as interesting

also on release all the ux stuff was a giant mess

they've improved it a bunch since then but haven't felt like giving it another shot

So Pillars of Eternity question...

Looks like the AI options are somewhat limited... Is there any ways to suggest/force a party member to stay at range?

The spellcaster companion you get in the first village keeps going melee and takes a ton of damage.

You have to make sure they are using a ranged weapon vs. a melee weapon. It's a bit confusing with casters because their ranged weapons and melee weapons kind of look the same. I can't remember offhand which is which, but that guy comes with both weapon types, so just switch the weapon types.

If you want to get really fancy there are auto AI rules can set for each character - look on the character sheet and you'll see a button for setting them up.

I'm thinking about taking the plunge on the infinity collection with baldurs gate 1-2 and icewind dale and the soundtracks for 30.72. Is there a better deal on that anywhere?

Also planescape torment with the soundtrack as well as a separate purchase. Is the enhanced edition good? I'm so pumped to experience these classics because I didn't play many pc games growing up.
 
Thanks to everyone here and in the hidden gems thread that suggested Cosmic Star Heroine. I'm about 5 hours into it and absolutely loving the game. Been dying for more cyberpunk games, and it's everything I'd want in a cyberpunk JRPG-style game.

I would just get Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape and call it a day. Not sure if I would bother with soundtracks though. You can always come back to Icewind later, and those games are quite a bit different in that they are mostly all about combat. Baldur's Gate 1 is a good game but it's slow and it involves low level 2nd Edition AD&D gameplay which is YMMV unless you are used to it.
