It's a much better stealth game than Hitman Absolution tho.
Of course, GTA 5 is a better stealth game than Hitman Absolution.
Listen to this man.

Well ok, and I thought you were being hyperbolic when you said 50GB, they aren't even trying to compress the assets now.

I'm not stuck with a 500gb drive in my PC. I have had multiple terabytes for yearsssss now.

It's still 50GB you have to download. Imagine If you had to do it for every game :/

Requiring 50gb free doesn't always mean you have to download that.
Yeah, that's my biggest issue with this coming gen: The increase in size of games due to the blu-ray standard on consoles. It's going to be absolutely insane for digital-only buyers, no matter the platform with the current ISP bullshit.

Well me too, but come on now, CoD is no 500 hours non-linear RPG, it's a game with 6-hour campaign and a multiplayer with some maps.
You got me excited for a second there. You're thinking of Fallout 3.
This is the price you pay for quality fish AI.

Nah I mean the ghetto store entry for Skyrim GOTY.
I expect that for most next gen releases.
Bioshock 2 accepts old GFWL files after the patch, so hopefully you are in luck.
I saved my Dark Souls save file, so I can always bring that over as well.
You mean Mirror of Fate on the 3DS?

Get Volgarr and have some fun.

never play mirror of fate on 3ds... wait for the HD port...
Not a fan of the art style, but the trailer looks like it could be fun. If it's $5 I may bite.
I wouldn't mind paying 5 to 10 dollars a year for Steam to start a service that mails install disks in little paper slips to me for especially large games that I don't want to have to download.
I'm hoping it's a pre-purchase incentive for LoS 2.
When I first go to the fight I thought it was an odd difficulty spike but then I realised I was just playing the game "wrong" and managed to cheese my way through most of the game.
I've exceeded my bandwidth for that .gif, luckily EatChildren's got my back:
I can't stop looking.
Sleeping Dogs? I want to play that game, but I'd rather wait until I have a new PC so I can max it out.
It doesn't take much; maybe you can already. I tend to assume we all have pretty alright builds except for Sajjaja, though.
Anyway, I like the gif because of the compact road, sense of speed, and neon signs.

listen to the mad man
When Canadian telecom regulators were considering a policy change that would have essentially allowed major ISPs to pass along some pretty major costs to minor ISPs (the reasoning behind this relates to infrastructure ownership and is not important for this conversation), one smaller ISP pointed out that it would be cheaper to buy a hard drive, mail a hard drive to your ISP, have them fill it up for you, and then have them mail it back than it would to download the comparable amount of data. Just embarrassing.
No, I can't. I had to run the demo on min-med, and it wasn't very smooth. Don't know if the full game will run better, but I doubt it.
Dishonored GOTY Edition comes out tomorrow for $39.99
I should probably play this sometime.
pretty nice
I was really liking the dlc too before it bugged and fucked up my save
gotta try the brigmore bitches too

I'm thinking more never play Mirror of Fate period.
I remember that shit show. I want to say the small ISP was TekSavvy. I'm just barely out of their service area and it's super sad. Not a single ISP near me without caps.
I'm thinking the same thing!
Ah nuts
Well, it'll be a great game to try your new build on. It was the first game I tried on mine last year.

listen to the mad man
It was Acanac but TekSavvy was also forcefully protesting the move.
Only if you're one of those "omg guys, games are sooooo easy and for like, little kids these days! Remember when games had no lives and made you restart from the start every time?" people.
I feel like Salsa would really like Volgar.

Anyone who enjoys great level design and tight controls will enjoy Volgarr. Some gaf reviews from the last weekend:
I fired this bad boy up yesterday evening and had a great time. This is without a doubt one of the most quality and well designed indie games I have ever played. I often feel like indie platformers don't get the level design quite right. Like it's missing a certain something. The level design in Volgaar, however, is so finely crafted. You can tell a lot of thought and care went in to the creation of the levels.
I'm also a big fan of the brutal difficulty. It's tough but fair. When you die, you know exactly why and 9 times out of 10 its simply user error. I never feel frustrated because I got cheated. You definitely need to keep your wits about you, though.
My hats off to the developers. I look forward to whatever else they cook up.
Holy carp, is this one fishing awesome game!
Just picked this up a couple days ago with a Steam coupon. I had seen videos, but those videos really don't sell how great this game actually is. Incredibly tight, thoughtful design. It reminds me why procedurally generated levels will never scratch the same itch.
I've made it to the second boss. And I just saw above in this thread how to "warp," but I've gotten good and fast at the first level now, so I don't see the need. This game reminds me what it means to "learn" a game. It's the sort of game that I'll play in five years and my hands will remember what my brain doesn't.
Highly recommended.
It's all about the ducking attack.

Well I looked into them once I originally saw the coupons. I enjoy a nice indie title as much as the next guy but they both looked awful to me. I like DD and loved Hotline Miami but those two just seemed boring as hell. Plus their respective Steam pages don't make any reference to the coupons. I was wondering if it might have been something related to your Steam level. And also let's call a spade a spade, most Steam coupons are shit. Every time I've gotten one it's either "oooh 25% off Serious Sam" or "hey 15% off Sanctum 2".
A PC version was "seriously being looked at", which is PR speak for "there will be one but we can't talk about it just yet".
Good man.
Volgarr the Viking is a game you can imagine would have been on the Mega Drive if nostalgia blinded you to all the technical limitations and quality of game techniques.

As luck would have it, I just "finished" Volgarr about 30 seconds ago.
It isn't perfect. The controls need to be remapped from the defaults and even then they are a bit fiddly. The jump arc never feels completely right and quirks like rolling making you face the other direction seem like odd choices (as if they did it just for one boss).
I'll also say the challenge is a little uneven. The first world is a learning curve and the second world is extremely tough. But after that it is pretty clear sailing till the end and you don't really hit anything new or taxing.
However those negatives really don't tarnish the experience. Basically it is still a complete joy to play from start to finish. The graphics, the music, the diversity of challenge...everything is designed in the right way and there was a lot of skill that went into the overall production.
I recommend it highly.

I've been playing Unholy Heights
The game is a mix between apartment management and tower defense. You play as the devil who owns a tenement building that he rents exclusively for monsters, you need to keep they happy buying stuff for their apartments and in exchange they fight for you and pay the rent even though some of the monsters may be later with the rent.
Each kind of monster has different attacks, some are melee, some ranged and others use magic so it's important to know how monster you "call" first to defend the build, the monsters status are affected by weather, their currently humor or if they have a lover. Other interesting thing is each monster has a job and are out of the building in different times.
The art is cute and the music is very catchy, the game cost $3.99 and has steam trading cards.
