I was wondering, do you still need to restart steam for a preloaded game to install? Street Fighter V launches at like 3 AM for me and was wondering if I'd wake up with it installed and updated or not.

Should I have bought Duke Nukem Forever when it was 80% off? Hope it doesn't go down on me now. I own all the others that were taken down.

Hahaha right do you have any stats to back this up? I did try to look at achievement data but nothing can be drawn from that conclusively. I mean I could make a statement what I think people are going to do but that would be a load of bollocks dreamt up in my own head or what I would do. So really the only thing I can do in a slightly scientific way is compare the modes from the last game to what's available in V and the effort and potential for replayability, which feeds back in to engagement, is greater in IV than V. Whether Joe Gamer gets more out of IV or V isn't something I can categorically say but if you want a bit of perspective go have a read through the review thread here. End of the day time will tell how things pan out much better than either you or I could say.

Street Fighter 4 (PS3) - 6.6%
Super Street Fighter 4 (PS3) - 11.7%
Ultra Street Fighter 4 (PS4) - 13.7%

I would say that this would at least show's that the player bases got smaller with each game with skill level going up.
Also the trophies for thing's such as beat arcde mode with Yun, Yang, Oni, Evil Ryu, Elena, Rolento, Hugo, and Poison without a continue were all at about 1% or less. Which we could say is due to the player base having no reasoning for such things and just sticking to VS. Considering the stuff for winning a ranked match is more common.

Eh.. Does GFWL even stop you from playing the games you already have? I know for a fact that I can still play Fallout 3 from the Disc. What's your point here?
GFWL is 100% broken garbage.
I cannot play my GFWL games at all any more, GFWL keeps throwing up random errors.
No, I'm not going to fucking crack my games to be able to play shit I bought with real money.

It's fucking shameful MS hasn't released their own patch yet that neuters it (since most games have other DRM anyway), but it's not like anyone's expecting anything from them anyway.

are you serious? its plot is worse than FO3 and i say that as someone who liked FO3's story but fully understands that the plot is just straight up dumb.

Yeah, I'm serious, as someone who played FO4 and hated the writing. Tomb Raider is no more deserving. So sorry.

Ok? You've just listed a load of percentages with no context, no attributable information, any install base numbers per SKU to compare against and forgot that Ultra is an upgrade meaning the trophy/achievement set is essentially shared amongst 2 version of the game.
 

Hey guys!

Want a giveaway for my cool new video game?

No?

Well here it is.

Well, I'm assuming that there is nobody left at Microsoft that worked on the game and knows about GFWL. Nobody left to clean the mess.

First off I want to say i feel like you're taking this far too seriously. I'm not trying to do anything to win this conversation. I just figured I could add some additional information. I never said what I am offering is fact. Just that we could see it that way. I'm sorry if I bothered you, for I wasn't trying to do that at all.
 
Jawmuncher you cheeky bastard.

Maybe I'll do another giveaway, depends on how week 1 goes. We already have about 60+ keys to give out to cast, crew, press, etc.

XCOM 2 finished last night. Great game but tragically buggy and runs like total trash. The ending has single digit framerate drops, multiple crashes, and the cutscenes desynced the audio. Not going back until DLC and patches are out.

Got me in the mood for more strategy/rpg though. Anyone play Homeworld? Darkest Dungeon any good? Maybe I'll just wait till Danganronpa to get into anything.

People who played the latest Homeworld liked it as far as I know. Darkest Dungeon is also pretty good.

Apparently there are people who have already completed ~30 games this year.

Oh well, I'm still well on track to have 52 done before Summer Seal. Good enough for me.

I'm at... 3 :(

Though I ran through Dragon's Dogma twice (and the other one is XCOM 2, which is also a pretty long game)

Beat Shadowrun Dragonfall

Now, I don't find it quite as thoroughly amazing as it was hyped to be, but I'll say this, the last 2 missions had some pretty impressive storytelling.

I've never felt dirtier and more horrible during a moral choice situation as I did near the end of Dragonfall (maybe aside from NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer). When the dialog options came up, I had to get off my chair, pace around the room and really think what I wanted to do.
