Got a problem with Aliens Colonial Marines:
When i try to install it in Steam it stops at 1% and after 5 min it tells me the Steam servers are busy.

I'm reasonably certain it's completely arbitrary and all three tiers will be achieved regardless of the particular number, which is to say the system is just a falsified method to coax more people into pre-ordering.

I know if I preordered early and it didn't make the top tier, I would be pissed.

Well, the Company of Heroes 2 pre-orders aren't close to reaching the second tier. Which has probably more to do with THQ though. I wish SEGA would ease my concerns.
Groupees Be Mine Anniversary is live.

$90 price tag for a strategy game isn't exactly great idea #1 either. *grumble grumble*
The game has no release date.
Tomb Raider is a few weeks away and is only 48% short of reaching the third tier.Fare Godmace

EDIT: Derp. There's a new Amazon discount code, but it doesn't work on games

Hmm, for some reason I thought it was previously announced for an early 2013 release. Nvm me then!

Yeah it was, then they announced it was delayed and then went bankrupt :|
Sega are apparently releasing it on March 31 but god knows what state it is in.

RE6 rewards tier 1 already at 94%, at this rate we'll get level 3 way before the game comes out.
Garry is doing you a favor, you should be glad.

I see the Daily Deal is now placed above Community Activity. I'm guessing this is new?
I heard they patched the FOV in RE6. Here's a link http://www.vg247.com/2012/10/25/resident-evil-6-patch-to-add-wider-fov-option/

Wikipedia states March 31st, but one of the sources is an Amazon.com listing and the other a Kotaku article from November, when THQ delayed all its known upcoming titles. Has Sega itself actually announced that it intends to keep the 31/03 date?
Wait for a sale if you're genuinely interested. It's truly, truly awful in virtually every respect. The graphics are nice and the game offers plenty of content... but you won't want to play it.

Keep in mind this is NeoGAF, half of them will say it sucks, the other half will say it's good.
I recommened waiting for GMG to have both 25% and 20% discount coupons available and grab it for cheap.

I'm sure they did...but now I can't find it. It was supposed to still be a beta in February and the end of March for the game.
But that could be out of date. Either way it is wait and see time...but I so want it to be real and good :|
The problem is, if I may use American terms, "Good" at $60 is different to "Good" at $40 as a "better" version with updates and some other goodies thrown in.
For some reason I'm drawn to 6. I'm hoping it'll be one of those "go into it with the right frame of mind and have some fun" kind of games.
RPS are quite fond of it (WIT), it certainly sounds like a decent game, I will give it a spin at some point.

you gotta up your pun-game if you want to survive on GAF.
Noted
So apparently Under The Ocean has been Steam approved.
I am kind of curious about how the game got approved, since the game wasn't approved via Greenlight. I thought that Valve omitted the old submission process for indies. Either way it seems like a neat survival/exploration game.

It was handpicked by Valve

Picked up the $3.99 Killing Floor yesterday, this game is fing amazing.

Yeah people kept saying that but it's obviously not true.
Yup, it sounds like a descent game indeed.
Damn you Glass Rebel, I wrote this, then looked at your post, and now my joke is ruined. Isn't it enough that you beat me in the Sniper Challenge bet?
I remember downloading the demo of Resident Evil 5 a few years ago for the video benchmark and to play the demo. It didn't seem like much of a survival horror so much as a zombie-themed shooter. And Chris Redfield looking like he was jacked up on all kinds of steroids kind of added to that feeling.
Not sure how accurate that first impression of the game was, I never got around to getting the game.
(Mind you, I'm not really fond of true survival horror and jump scares, so the above isn't necessarily a negative overall impression)

Your impression is accurate. This is not a bad thing, because the controls are pretty solid, the game is gorgeous and there's a ton of stuff to do. The high production values don't hurt, either. Inventory management sucks big time, though.
I'm considering pre-ordering RE6, at that price. Kind of impressed with Capcom.
Yes.

It says "Third Party DRM: Steam" in big letters on the page. Where there is Steam DRM there is by necessity keys.
I am this close to being done with AssCreed 3; just a few more Benedict Arnold DLC missions to complete and I'll have 100% sync. There's the matter of the George Washington DLC, but it's separate to the main game overworld and thus is not factored into the synchronisation percentage, so I'll just play through it at a later date.

They were rolled into the Season Pass, IIRC.
Indie Royale is the one that lacks milestone bonuses, right? In other words, "what you see is what you get"?

Lol so good. Even watching a small exclusive die feels good.
They sometimes put bonuses. Mostly music though. Last time was another game
Bah. Knowing my luck, if I decided to be a cheap bastard there'd be a bonus I'd miss out on.

Just wanna thank Mr. Orange again for the Sleeping Dogs gift a few weeks back. Just completed it and I gotta say that, in hindsight, it's one of my favorite games of 2012. I'll surely jump back into it for some achievements and the DLC.
Glad that Square Enix made sure this game got released. Sleeping Dogs 2 better be in the works, I want more Wei Shen!

I'm tempted to jump on the Season Pass but will just wait for a 75% discount on Steam itself so I can pick up all the DLC in one swoop.
