I wish I had your problem.
Even though the poster is terrible... probably worse than that of The Host, even.Abomination

If you put it like that, I guess not. But what version do you preferre? the PC version, or the console version.
I myself do not like the console version. I just can not aim fast enough where I want to shoot with a joystick. KB/M all the way

Not sure whether this has been discussed at all yet, seeing as it is a few weeks old, but reading the Kingdoms of Amalur thread reminded me of it, and it may be of interest here not only for Amalur, but also for the future of games like Rise of Nations on Steam:
Assets of 38 Studios being auctioned off in November.
EDIT: see also http://www.hgpauction.com/auctions/29297/38-studios/

Finally, something will come of this!
Edit: I wonder who'll snap up Amalur. Larian could do a sequel justice, I think, though I doubt it has the cash to splash. Depending on the price, maybe Nordic will expand its portfolio that little bit more.

Not much if you can score some foil drops.
You can be as patient as you like, but it'll still be difficult. Unless you're playing with a guide, there's just so much you're not going to know your first time through. And if you're playing with a guide, then you're ruining a lot of the fun.

Frankly I'm not even sure what kind of appeal this IP could have.
It's not particularly good (subjectively I would actually paint it as terrible), it's not even successful and chances are it's going to be relatively pricey too, given how much they spent on it.
did you read the previous posts? we were only talking about how commercially successful the game was vs CoD or BF
anyway:
And that one security measure will be removed in Dark Souls 2 - people will be able to invade you anytime. I hope they get it right, because I think Dark Souls is amazing when it stands right on the line between severity and unfairness, without crossing it - that's how it feels most of the time, but yeah, in some rare instance it does feel unfair (
walking up the ledge while being sniped by Black Archers in Anor Londo comes to mind
My first playthrough I died to environment than I ever died to mobs.
Though that first BK owned me a few times. Than those OP arrows in londo.
But the environment deaths where some times hilarious....not paying attention and just roll off the cliff haha.
I'm looking forward to the tale of your encounter with a certain doughy gentleman and his lithe accomplice. When you fly with Air Londo, the only thing you need pack is plenty of clean underwear >
You're not the only one, my dear.
I'm telling the same story but in Italian (and more often because with him I don't give a damn) to a friend of mine who finished DS on PS3 years ago and is replaying it on PC right now so he knows everything about it and of course, when I bitched about the two gargoyles on top of the Parish, he referred to those guys I think, with those names that looks like a jewish law studio or something.
I believe that episode of LTTPDSAC will be a good one.

I don't understand why the quick save/load feature is not directly built in the game. However, thanks to Durante's fix, we can have a similar feature based on:
- frequent auto-save,
- possibility to skip the intro videos,
I used a mouse and keyboard on the PS3 version of Counter-Strike: GO
I assume the 360 version is the same?

EDIT: btw dear lord gaben, if you're reading this, please acknowledge that I really deserve a Titan GPU, because in the last 4 years I've been playing with a crappy Macbook Pro and the last gaming PC I had, I sold it to buy a Sega Dreamcast day one.
"son, how the fuck are you supposed to study and other stuff without a PC?"
"but the Dreamcast, it has the INTERWEBZ, dear father! it totally can replace my computer!"
"but the Dreamcast, it has the INTERWEBZ, dear father! it totally can replace my computer!"
No it isn't. Because MS actively stamps out any attempt to put keyboard and mouse controls in their games.
I'd say any interested parties are acutely aware of Reckoning's sales performance and so even if the IP has an inordinate starting price it'll be reintroduced at a lower value (not unlike everybody laughing at Atari wanting $3.5m for Rollercoaster Tycoon). The game's made Rhode Island over $700k on Steam alone since 38 Studios bit the dust despite being on sale only once (as a Daily), so if the price is right I can see a company snapping the Amalur IP even if there's no desire to expand the franchise.

HL3 confirmed then unconfirmed.
Bioshock 2 ditched GFWL for good and free Minerva DLC for people who already owned the game.
Ikaruga on greenlight.
Other stuff maybe.
Half-Life 3 was "untrademarked".

Is the Green Man Gaming 25% off of pre-purchases code still active? I wanted to pre-purchase AC: Black Flag yesterday, but had to hold off... And now I can't find the code anymore.

I might need a new display soon.
I have some money I could spend but I'd rather save that for games and I haven't decided if I want just one or two for work. Or I could just keep the Samsung I have right now for that and add a proper good screen.

I've been meaning to upgrade to a 1080p computer monitor. Right now I play my games on a Full HD TV, but I'm starting to wonder if playing on a computer monitor I can effectively use in a dualscreen setup without fearing for burn-in isn't a better idea.
I've got another 360 pad question for you guys. I finally got a wireless one, was wondering if under Windows 7 it's possible to keep it always connected and showing in the devices list, even when it's off.
Problem is, joy2key is set for starting with windows (I need it running at all times to control the desktop from the couch, which I do often), but when windows starts the controller is always off (turns off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity or so) and when joy2key can't find any controller it just shuts off when launched. I could always turn on the controller as soon as windows starts and then launch manually joy2key but it would be cooler if all of this was always ready for use, of course.
I hope that was clear enough but I somehow doubt it :/

You can mod that.

Square Enix really should have done it themselves, though.
... I still bought it.
Did they finally? Great.

The first one isn't necessarily true. HL3 was trademarked, then later it got removed, but in the meantime there was another Jira leak confirming again that Valve have people working on it.
Also, just yesterday Valve detailed their Steam Machine prototypes, which save for one config are pretty high-end with Titans and all.
Hello fellow GAFfers, have anyone in here tried Haunted Memories? The first Chapter is on Steam and it's FREE so you can download it and try it for yourself. The game is in Early Access right now so bugs and other issues are expected.
So far it seems that the game have several problems. Frame rate is a known issue, if you play with the 360 Controller you may see your character auto-walk for a moment every now and then specially when you are turning around (which also have a strange animation).
The game seems to look good but I can't really comment on it since I do not have proper hardware to see it for myself. The audio is really nice, the sound of rain and the constant storms at night really add to the experience.
Saving your game is similar to the Resident Evil games, you found a Typewriter and you save your progress. At the start of the game you will have a Flashlight but you will need to get batteries when you run out of juice.
There's also the creepy feeling. I got scared twice out of nothing because I believe I was lost so I wanted to turn back but soon as I did BAM something was just besides me. There was also a moment that it was too creepy for me. Something was in front of you but it was a bit far way, it seems it was looking at you, just staring... I didn't like that, I was saying to myself "Just go away man, just go..."
I climbed a tower, for a really long time at the start of the game (turn left and climb the mountain). Yeah, don't go there.

I have five Sanctum 2 steam keys to give away ModBot seems a bit scary tbh, so I'll put them in email tags here. I suggest only taking one key so as many people as possible can enjoy the game! I assume there's no region locking thing, but in case there is, the codes are most likely for EU.

Thanks, I took the first one which is kinda funny because I tried every key from the last one to the 1st and they're all taken.

OK, so, I bought a second hand copy of Prey and it's got a Steam-valid activation key. I understand the game isn't available on Steam anymore and I already have it on there, so what's the best thing to do with it?
Except this is a 7 year old turd from an established company.
They're never going to give out steam keys.
Trade it for RAGE.
(Don't. By all means, trade it, but not for Rage.)
