I've been looking at Kairo for a while now, but there seems a lot of crashes. Could anyone that has the game tell me if the game is stable?
 
I'm in doubt about Operation Raccoon City. I know the game is widely criticised, but so was Resident Evil 6 and I really enjoyed that in co-op. Is RE: ORC at least enjoyable when played with a friend?

I've heard it has GFWL though, not sure about that either.

I just bought it. I know it's supposed to be terrible playing it solo but it seems like it's possibly a good time in co-op. That's the main reason I picked it up.
 
Daily Deal is Ticket to Ride Complete Pack at $5.99(-70%)

It is cheaper to buy the game and the DLCs individually.

Even though I'm super broke I bought GTASA + GTAVC to celebrate getting a new job, yay. Can't wait to replay them.

YOU'RE STRAIGHT UP BUSTAH, CJ
 
Anyone else addicted to Sword Of The Stars: The Pit? I just can't find time to play anything else.

Best $10 game I've ever bought, and my GOTY right now.

I haven't had any crashes at all on a normal/older system (Windows 7 home premium, 4GB memory, e8400, 5850). I posted some limited impressions earlier though I have no idea how far through the game I am.
 
So they can feel the complete and utter disappointment.
You post this without any explanation. Am I to assume that you are one of the people who don't like the RTS genre and were upset when the game introduced it?

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hates RTS with the strength of a thousand suns. But if RTS is not a deal-breaker, the style and attention to detail put into the world are worth getting the game in my opinion, especially if you have any interest in metal.

That said, it will presumably be 75% off in a summer or fall sale, so one might wish to wait.

It's not even good RTS. In fact it barely even qualifies that descriptor. Every single gameplay element is half-baked.

Thanks!
How did you force AA? Have you tried using supersampling?

I attempted supersampling and every other option I could find in CCC, but only morphological anti-aliasing (MLAA) worked. If you have an ATI card and use that, you may also want the box filter since I think using edge detect at that point lowered the performance. Bear in mind it is probably not an amazing-looking game. I think it's Unity with the Lightmass shadows, but it's quite simplistic. There are some neat style elements.
 
Heads up, if you are Scandinavian you can buy Dead Island Riptide at 95% off from CDON.

One copy per account and the key is available instantly via "Redownload" on the user account page.

I think Riptide could be worth 15 SEK/2.28 USD.

How can this be? Gotta buy it

Edit: Bought it, and activated as Dead Island Riptide Retail Europe ESD. What does ESD mean?
Edit 2: I didn't even plan to buy this game since it's just same game as the first one ^^

"Electronic software delivery, Distribution of software by digital transfer rather than by physical media."

I have never seen the acronym used before but the North American version is the same.

I don't think that would work anyway. Registering on the site requires Swedish social security number. My Finnish id was no go. Obviously no price mistake on the Finnish CDON site, there never is when the Swedish site has one.

Also this.

I would pay someone who can buy it for me through paypal. I live in EU but i am not a citizen in scandinavia since they need social secutirty number for register.

Isn't it fishy? Why would a web store ask for SSN? To check you are from Sweden? Really?

Man, there are only four days left before I can finally play Fez.
