I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
To each their own. I personally love the timer and how based on what you did with that time with certain objectives you got different endings. Plus it wasn't like the timer was forcing you to do the objectives. You could easily spin one playthrough slaying nothing but zombies and bosses and leveling up and then another playthrough with your now leveled up character trying to get one of the other many endings. It's the beauty of Dead Rising's newgame+ timesystem that I love.
It was also easy as shit to get the S endings on your first try.
if you include more than one game, you will be blocked from entering
So that only applies to having more than 1 game in 1 message?

Unless you're holding onto your bought copy during the sale until after the shutdown, they'll still be functional.
Send four PM's to modbot. Because, yes, you'll be blocked from entering if you add more than one game to the PM. It's stated in the directions, dude.

Dude it's $15 for the expansion and you're getting a rebalanced game, 5 new characters, and 6 new stages. Also along with new modes too.
Also nobody will play vanilla AE after Ultra comes out on neither console or pc so what's the problem?
In theory yes but I've personally had issues with offline mode in gfwl, there's no guarantee that it will be a viable solution for everyone.
xliveless and cracks aren't exactly common knowledge and I imagine a substantial amount of people won't even know of these alternatives.
PS I'm not even sure if xliveless works with anything other than GTA and Red Faction, from my own testing it doesn't.
So what about the people who don't activate the games before then? Too bad? It's even worse in that scenario.

It's worse in the case that they'll still work? And who are these people sitting on already bought games they know are going to at worst be unactivatable until the shutdown?
I believe its the mod used for Fallout 3 as well. I was just stating it as a possible option for certain releases.
Between Xliveless, offline mode, cracks, and developer patches, GFWL games should still function.
The real issue is games like Gears of War, Halo 2, Viva Pinata, and others that don't exist anywhere else. I would love to see all 3 of those titles show up on Steam.
Don't you have to activate a game before you can even use offline mode? I haven't used gfwl in a while so apologies if my information is wrong.
I admit it's not very likely but it is a possibility, not everyone will be aware of gfwls impending death. Has it even been officially confirmed by MS yet? I remember they tried to get rid of any information relating to it and declined to comment.
I highly recommend both Bionic Commando games. I can't say anything for Dark Void, though.

That is the final credits screenshot I took from Shadowrun Returns. I finally beat it. I had to re-do the last hours of the game, this time I managed to get all my members alive for the final boss part and it was very easy in the end.
...
Either way the game was really fun to play. Great art style, loved the setting, the city and the rain. The characters are interesting and I like how the story is written. Details to what someone is saying or how they react is always a nice touch.
I believe there are some random/pointless skills. I started to play my game and I leveled up all my Charisma because I wanted a polite character instead of a violent one. It was interesting to see, actually. (I always go for these types of skills which is why I want to play Fallout NV + all DLC soon but right now I have no proper hardware for that so the game will remain in my Backlog...) For my main gun during fights I went always with the Shotgun, very satisfying to play with. Magic and anything similar is less fun in my opinion.
...
I really loved the turn based part since I like games with this sort of combat.
Early in this thread I mentioned how much I enjoy Planescape: Torment. If you haven't played it yet, and based on what you liked in Shadowrun, I think you would love the game.
The setting, the art style, the characters, the details, and the story. Oh, the story.
Since you mentioned Charisma, in Torment, your main stat in the game should be Charisma and will provide you with the greatest choice of options.If you haven't played it, I believe you are doing yourself a disservice. Don't let the age of the game deter you from it. Pick it up from GOG and treat yourself.
Edit: Would any kind Gaffer mind inviting me to the Steam group? Additionally GAF friend requests as well. (As of now, I don't qualify for the beta) Thanks.

The more I see about this game the more I want to play it, I'm a big fan of Telltale's stuff and the comic so this is pretty much a dream pairing for me. It looks amazing.

I don't care about those things and I barely play online, why would I want to pay $15 for something I don't really want?
Besides, I got SSFIVAE for half that price and it should keep working even if a newer version comes out.
Change your FOV. Early games had horrible FOV that would make people dizzy.
thanks! is weird, but I get dizzy with quake too
I don't know how to enter developers mode in hl to change fov
~
cg_fov 90 or something like that. Google "Half-life console commands" and it should be a console command.
So then, don't. I doubt Capcom is going to leave SSF4 people out to dry when they patch/port Ultra over. You'll probably be grandfathered with a patched copy but locked to Ultras characters.
But really, you should update to Ultra for the new characters anyway.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Then if you don't care about online or any of the new stuff in Ultra then you shouldn't even care about them removing GFWL tbh. When GFWL goes down you'll still be able to play with a offline profile and it's not like there's anything unlockable in SSF4AE besides colors and titles for online.
It's not really Capcom's fault GFWL is shutting down. Regardless of GFWL, AE online becomes obsolete when Ultra comes around, so if you're actively playing AE online, the upgrade is a no-brainer. You'll still be able to play locally and offline if you want to stick to AE. So, I don't know about "forced."
I don't get it; if you don't play online and don't care for new content, what are you complaining about, exactly? How does Microsoft (not Capcom) killing GFWL, or the release of Ultra affect you in this case?

I'm not complaining about Ultra, I'm complaining about GFWL. Didn't know you could play the game with an offline account to be honest.
I treid pressing ~ but nothing happens
1. Go to the HL shortcut properties and add -console to target ("hl.exe -console")
2. ~
3. default_fov <n> where <n> is your desired FoV number.
I really hate how devs hide the console at times. Crysis even restricts what you can do with it at times unless you enable developer mode. :/
Word, GFWL sucks, but if they don't have something in the works for a transition to painless offline once it shuts down, that'll be a shitstorm for sure.
Then don't upgrade. Your game will still work.
I would be surprised if Microsoft doesn't release some kind of patch on their site.
Would be as simple as

Won Mafia 2 on SG before I saw that I could get codes from GMG. So now I've got 2 codes, giving one away. Have fun!

Figured I'd play RE5 what with the recent sale and all.
...oh my god, what a terrible game. The controls are vile, and anytime I die it's either because I can't turn around fast enough, or because I'm stuck in place due to reloading or because the enemies are all bullet sponges and won't die as they're running towards me and taking five headshots. I've lost count of how many times I've been hit from behind because I can't even see where I am in relation to anything due to the claustrophobic camera. I don't even understand why it's zoomed in as much as it is, if it was fine as it was in RE4.
I expected a lousy game, but not THIS lousy.

Early on is rough, but you get enough health that once later hits, you're upgraded weapons and ammo surplus lets the game be pretty fun.
Yep, RE5 is a really shit game with a laughable corridor and enemy design.

I love the FABLES books yet The Wolf Among Us wasn't even on my radar *adds to wish list*
Looking forward to getting that.
OTR is the rebalanced version of the game with Frank West replacing Chuck from DR2. Oh and a free roaming sandbox mode that isn't present in DR2.
