I would be surprised if you want to play DR2 more than once.

Yes. I bought both because I wanted Chuck Greene's Story, but I bought OTR because I wanted access to the Sandbox mode.

I didn't install OTR yet for the sandbox mode, but I believe you need to finish the game anyway.

I did finish Dead Rising 2 and it's still a pretty good Dead Rising game. I'll repeat myself, but if you don't care about the story, OTR is the way to go.

Isn't the game designed to be played more than once if you want to rescue everyone?

Doesn't mean you'll want to.

Also, it's much easier to rescue people in Dead Rising 2. Out of the people I found, nobody died. I only let a group die because they wanted me to win a poker hand, and fuck playing boring video game poker.

Is there any way to take screenshots I have taken through a 3rd party program and upload them through Steam?

The reason being is I am downsampling, so I take the screenshot through Afterburner, edit it in photoshop, and then I'm ready to upload.

Like Drizzle said, you can replay the game, but you probably won't want to.

Very subjective opinion there though.

I had fun with the game, but I really have no desire to ever play it again.

Basically, you can replace existing Steam-screenshots with your own, and then upload them.

Worked great! And was actually very easy to implement once you have the system all set up in Photoshop.

Rename Pictures > Save to Screenshots > Resize pictures to 200x125 > Save to Thumbnails

The new pictures also have to be in .jpg format, so have to convert them from .png. Very easy to do while saving.

Glory to Arstotzka!
Bought Papers, Please with card moneys.

I've been taking Dark Souls screenshots simultaneously with Steam and with dsfix, and then just replaced the stuff on the Steam screenshot folder (and thumbnails) with the hudless shots from dsfix.

I also added a bunch of older xfire screenshots to Steam through the method described in the Binding of Isaac guide. Even went so far as to fake the dates for the shots, so now I think I have screenshots on Steam that appear to have been taken before Steam screenshots even existed. :p
 
Just (finally) finished my Dishonored stealth run. Fantastic game, but I didn't realise I'd actually killed someone in one of the middle missions :(. Anyway, I'm going to give it a couple of months, then go for a High Chaos run, leaving no one alive...

Just a heads up on Dark Void Zero for people who are worried about Securom, the developer posted on the Steam forums saying that they increased the activation limit from 5 to 20, so it shouldn't ever be a problem.

It is also very easy to revoke an activation, you just need to add "/revoke" to the games launch options in steam and run it, only takes a second.

Doesn't mention it on PC Gaming Wiki, but that doesn't necessarily prove it doesn't exist

http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_3rd_Party_DRM_on_Steam#SecuROM

Are you sure? Pcgamingwiki doesn't list it as having it either.

The developer specifically mentioned the limit was raised for it, so I assume it is actually there.

Hi everyone, I know that it's taken some time to get this done but the DRM hardware activations limit has been raised from 5 to 20 on this title along with Dark Void, Age of Booty, and FLOCK!. My apologies that we couldn't get this done for the Steam sale, but sometimes these things take a little time. The instructions at the top of this thread should still be used, but hopefully this raised limit makes it a little bit easier to simply enjoy the game.

Went for the Dead Rising complete pack, since I was able to get it rather cheap. Think I would play OTR first, so I don't have to deal with any timer. Think there is mods for 2 to freeze the timer though.

Oh shit, OTR doesn't have a timer? I may pick it up. 2 was a lot of fun but I HAVE to explore everywhere so i always missed timer deadlines and people died :(

OTR absolutely has a timer. I stopped playing the game after my second or third timer miscalculation.

OTR does have a sandbox mode though, if all you wanna do is slice some zombie heads.

If DR3 doesnt have a timer I am going to have to get an xbone.

from wikipedia:

According to developers, the game can render three times as many zombies on-screen at once as its predecessor.[7] Unlike the first two games in the series, Dead Rising 3 does not feature a time limit.[8] Players will also be allowed to save their progress anywhere, as opposed to limiting saves to bathrooms.[8] The game will include a "Nightmare Mode" for those who prefer the traditional time limit and save options.[9] The game will not have load times.[10]

CAPCOM LISTENS!

Has Capcom said something about the GFWL shutdown?

It would be a lot easier to buy their games if we knew they will remove GFWL.

I'm surprised people aren't more upset about this, promoting a bunch of games that at worst may not be functional in a year, or at best have advertised features/content (like multiplayer) removed is pretty shady imo.

If you want GFWL removed from SSF4: AE they are forcing you to upgrade to SSF4: Ultra.

You are also getting new characters, maps, and rebalances so it isn't a total wash.

I don't think enough people know the information, or care to cause an uproar.

Your games should still function using offline profile, xliveless or a crack, so it shouldn't be an issue. Worst case scenario, you lose access to multiplayer.

So.

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (the non-GFWL version, as in "not Colonies") or Dark Void & Bionic Commando - which should I buy, /v/NeoGAF?
