Batman hits the end of this month. It is using too much of Rocksteady's gameplay framework to be a real fuckup. Plus all the trailers have been baller.
Hey, I'm in the mood for some braindead fun, so I will launch Dead Rising 2. But I also have win 8.
I am fear.
Edit : No point in posting too much, so far... so good. Never been one of the most impacted by GFWL bugs, just had a long profile import fail once. So here, GFWL was already installed, I logged without problem, entered the key, the whole thing bugged out on me with a giant black windows for some time when I checked the user agreement, and a patch was downloaded with success. The odd thing is that when leaving the game to apply the patch there was some leftover windows from a microsoft install. Not smooth, but overall without problem for the time being.

Install GFWL client from the Microsoft site and you will be fine.

With all the Pokémon talk this page, I gotta say. I just tried my first Pokémon game recently (Black 2 because it was cheap) and I really don't see the appeal a few hours in. I enjoy SRPGs, so I expected to like it, but I found the world bland and uninteresting. Also the gameplay was shockingly slow, like every action in and out of battle takes forever. Just transferring a Pokemon from storage into you active party takes like exiting in and out of like three different menus, terrible. And the final kicker is that I love SRPGs for the ability to create OP characters via a complex job / leveling system, and I found it really lacking here as well. Pokémon pretty much just grow on their own and you can swap out old abilities with new ones as you learn them as far as I can tell. Maybe I just don't get it.
Non Steam digression aside all the GFWL stuff from this Capcom sale is kinda bumming me out. I get that this is Microsoft's issue, but as the store owner at this point I feel like Valve is doing customers a pretty big disservice by not warning them. Should at least have a disclaimer on the store page.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I guess I won't be Steaming much.
My review copy finally arrived today after the post service I use here in Norway fucked the delivery up. Was suppose to get it 1 week ago. Better late than never though.
They sent review copies to everyone who can grow mountain-man beards first, unfortunately.
Has this been mentioned?
The Dead Rising 2 complete pack is down to $9.99 this morning

Ends in 3 hours.

That's terrible advice coming from you, tell him to wait a while until it's fixed.
Oh wait, it's Capcom.
Well I'm just up to the 6th day and already I'm struggling to make ends meet. My family are cold, sick and hungry and what's more I got a bastard citation because some guy was taller than his documents said. Now I'm getting stress from refugees because I've sent them to the room where they do come out off because she didn't have the right paper work. I've got my own problems lady.
I thought the Steam controller demo was a bit bizarre it had this in it but boy anything to help squeeze in as many inspections before clocking off time is really needed. It's a daily struggle between food, heat or medicine and I always can only afford one of them.
And the bloody landlord keeps putting the rent up.

Options has an 'Easy Mode' that gives you an extra $20 a day

I didn't get a review copy.
I bought this from an RU site thinking it'd activate the RU-specific app, but as it turns out, Sega never actually made any subs for the app, so it's a rest-of-world key. Oops.
OH

Edit: My aforementioned purchase seems to have triggered a freeze on my card.

I don't think Nintendo has enough money to send a copy to every male and female Canadian.

Is it really Capcom's fault? My Batman Arkham Asylum doesn't launch either unless I install the gfwl client.

Thanks JaseC!!
But you are directly spending money on it. PS+ isn't free. Like people said, if you have less than zero interest why in the world would you invest you time on it. It makes absolutely no sense. You have to have some sort of interest in it.

Yeah, but in the future there is a steamworks version of that game coming out so he should just wait.
That's too hard for Cacpcom to do though.
Thanks. Might be a bit too late though as
my uncle has died
Really? Has it come to this now? Buying RU sub items? I think all of SteamGAF needs to have a sit down with you Jase.
Yeah, I agree, kind of doubt they'll do anything about it =/
Fellow gaffer, I am ashamed to call you a fellow gaffer!

Use x360ce. I think it only took me a minute or two.
Edit: For those interested in Knights & Merchants, be sure to install KaM Remake. Some creative liberties are taken, such as removing the Siege Workshop and Town Hall that The Peasants' Rebellion added (explained in the FAQ), but it fixes a ton of niggling issues.
I did but I needed to use an old version for some reason.
Ok, this is by far my favorite one.
Capcom had a range of options and chose the quickest method to port the game online capabilities, granted no one really expect GFWL to actually go away but at least on Capcom's part they should at least fix their games for future replay-ability.
If it was me I would pull all GFWL off Steam until they were all patched with something else.
Yeah if you're talking about removing GFWL, they should really do that, especially if they want more future customers, but it's capcom :<

Absolutely this. If there is knowledge in the publisher community that the gfwl games will become unplayable, then they should be pulled from all sites. Kinda bugs me.
If gfwl is going offline within a year's time, shouldn't Microsoft say something about it?
edit: Furthermore, If Microsoft doesn't have a plan for a "fix" the issue, wouldn't it engender poor faith on the part of publishers whose games tails get cut?

I have still got Lost Planet 1 & 2 in my cart, just waiting for some GFWL removal announcement. Can't see it happening though unfortunately.
Capcom hasn't touched any of the registry apps, there is no evidence of such an announcement showing up any time soon.l
<3
Capcom's official stance is that it's waiting on concrete details from Microsoft before deciding on what to do, which is worrisome. If MS makes it clear that people can still access the SP portions of GFWL games without issue (by way of an offline/local profile), then I don't see Capcom bothering at all.

Wow, awesome, is that the girl from the Girlmore girls?
Yeah, I didn't want to say anything about it, because poor Jase was so happy, but that's my favorite gif thanks to the Gilmore girl and not to Saoirse Ronan.

My trust in you has been shattered.

Sorry man, but the sheer joy of seeing Alexis Bledel NOT TALKING is just too much to handle.
I've been thinking about getting Brothers lately and I noticed that on the game page it states, "Notice: Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons requires a controller to play." I'm just curious: how many games on Steam require a controller? I get why Brothers does, as you have to control the two and I'm not dogging it or anything, but I can't say I've seen that notice too many times before.

I was drawing a complete blank on her name when I was trying to talk about the film with a friend the other night so I just kept saying "that Gilmore Girl".
That's a bingo.
Brothers doesn't require a controller, but it is a bit cumbersome to play with kb&m.
