Iyou could probably just set up a throwaway GMG account with the CVG email address to get around having to vote all over again

Thanks, this solved my problem and the game just arrived.

Why the hell did they want both CVG and GMG accounts to have the same email, and why didn't they say so?

Are they really minor? Haven't played it yet, but I dislike hipster Dante like every human should! (><)
I do plan to play DmC though, to see what all fuss is about.

Well it's from a completely different company, so obviously it's very different from its predecessors even if the basic concept is the same... I'd say get 3-4 and then play DmC after that.

Just got SSFIVAE+2 refs for 2 keys (&#8364;3,48) on TF2outpost, that's a pretty great price! Especially compared to the &#8364;4,99 EU price.

Hell no it ain't minor. One of the biggest cons is that the combat has a good amount of depth taking out and not being as fluid. This leads to the combat becoming stale as shit quick 1/2 of the game later. Then there really annoying ass color coded enemies forcing you to use specific weapons which you can somewhat style on but it's ruins the flow so much.

Second if you thought the original DMC franchise story was bad then wait till you play DmC which is filled with terrible dialogue unlikable characters, and more.

Also the most bland boss battles in the franchise.

There's a crapload of things wrong with the game that I can go into tbh. With that said I still enjoyed DmC. It's a meh DMC game but it's better than a lot of other hack n slashes on the market(which is not a whole lot these days sadly). Also the level design like the club level is pretty awesome tbh.

Ah ok!! Thanks for the heads up!

Definitely won't buy it then.

Not that I don't appreciate DRM free copies, but I like my collection on Steam as well.
Click to expand...
The developers usually price-match the Steam sales price on their site (Humble Store, includes Steam key and DRM free), so they might price match this as well later on the day (they haven't yet, but considering it's 6:30 am in Toronto that's no surprise).

Street Fighter X Tekken for 4,23$ - yay or nay?

Already have SSFIV: AE and planning to upgrade to Ultra, so Im not really sure.
Click to expand...

If you are buying for online MP - No

The game's fate with GFWL shutting down is still uncertain, and the MP in that game never worked great anyways, I frequently can't connect to others despite having no issues in Arcade Edition

That sounds pretty major, yes. Thanks for description.
Although my question was kinda ironic, it's really hard to tell on internets (><)

Thanks storm :). Always wanted to try Two Worlds 2 since some people told me it's a good rpg and others told me it was shite.

insanity! pure insanity!
now, don't forget to play them all! (><)

I might get there one day seeing how things are going... from not using steam at all to double dipping left and right without any reason. Already have +200 games and I constrain myself, at least I try.
I must say, that steam have gotten addictive, especially with cards and badges. Gog save me!

Most of my titles are double dipped, which is great, because i'm going back to the games I've missed out on, I never beat GTA IV on console, but when I retried it on PC I put 168 hours into it. Partly due to being able to generally edit games to my liking, through either mods or otherwise, I hated GTA IV's Radio selection, so made my own station using Independence FM with 500 or so songs

I don't want to be negative, but AC3 made me want to hate gaming. Not just AC games, but every single game that has ever been made and ever will be made.

So I would lean towards no.

Wow! After reading so much negativity towards that game it's lovely to see someone enjoying it so much. I am not a great fan of Rockstar's output so have no desire to play that game but it's just really nice to see someone enjoy a game so much that they put so many hours into it :D.

While the story isn't great, it's still enjoyable for sure, and multiplayer is great (provided you can get a game going)

Themed, or not (with so many tracks probably not)?
TBH I wasn't a big fan of GTA IV's radios, but I loved The Journey. I basically hardly listened to anything else.

Too bad fairy bloom lack the enemies/stage variety, I haven't really played it for too long though.

I hope they make a sequel, I'd probably pay high price for it if it has better stages like viewtiful joe.

Nah, I only theme radios in stuff like Vice City, where I match time periods, otherwise I have a general mix and match

Eh, I do what I can but I find it difficult downloading stuff while at work.
Nevertheless, since yesterday I started idling games on the office computer, so hey, Italy should be back on track in no time!

Germany is PC land, always thought it to be exaggeration of sorts, I stand corrected. Also UK is slacking, Italy is hibernating (><)

What's with bandwidth usage spikes?
