Riddick is fucking amazing. You're only kicking yourself in the head by not getting it.

Let's just put it in the list with sweet games with shit gunplay -Stalkers, Falloutets, bark, bark, etc-

So Snuggler pick it up for the improved visuals and superior control that helps the sucky shooting. :)

Get Riddick people! It has 2 games in one.

It has Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena, people often don't know this. Butcher Bay has being graphically remastered from the Xbox 1 version to be on bar with Dark Athena, It's worth it just for Butcher Bay alone. The games have heaps and heaps backtracking to previous areas, i really enjoyed the stealth system. Butcher Bay reminded me alot of Prison Break season 1, it is godly.

They are set before Pitch Black and are there own stories, Vin Diesel himself voices both games. Took me about 14 hours to clock both games.

You get a Tages activation back every 45 days.

You dissed Stalker's gunplay so I'm not gonna buy Riddick just to spite you.
Takes a little more to push my buttons :)

Im my defense, Snuggler and Gvaz, the Stalker criticism was relative speaking. IIRC back then, Stallion called Metro 2033 shooting "shitty" so by that statement its not an exageration to apply the same judgment to Stalker. I've put more hours to both franchises than i should and loved every second of the experiences.

So to simplify things lets all say its Stallion Free's fault and wash our hands from the matter.
 
I've noticed some of the games I get, under account details, have "ROW" at the end of their name. What does this mean?

Finished Back to the Future, great game. It's a dream for BTTF fans. The ending was soooo good.

I really hope they do a second season.
 
The GB Quick Look finally sold me completely on Serious Same: Double D. Bought it, played first few levels and had a blast. Like he says in the QL...the Gun Stacker is worth the price of admission alone, just to see the craziness.

I think if they were going to have a Labor Day sale, they would have already started it.

Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
Afaik there were no Labor Day sales before so there's no reason to expect one now right?

My gripe about 2033 is the screen tearing. D3D Override wont work on my system(64bit) for some reason. The game seems really fun but I cant get over no vsync.


enable vsync in your video card control panel.

Is it alright if I post a link to a steam group for a dev who is accepting beta testers for their next game(s)? The games are both steamworks and non-steamworks (IOS devices).

Yeah, if you're ever wondering about a particular game head over to Tb's YouTube channel. He's likely covered it.
 
So all of a sudden my Steam "resets" every time I restart the computer. By that I mean the friends window keeps defaulting to a tiny size, my games list defaults to "all games" and no matter how many times I turn game icons on, they keep disappearing. It never used to do this, I really don't know what I've done to trigger it. It's not the end of the world, but is kinda annoying.

Can anyone help?

Close Steam and delete ClientRegistry.blob. It's fixed stranger behaviour.
 
Man, I've been wanting to get Riddick ever since...well, every time it ever went on sale lol. Its just that I'm afraid of TAGES. I've heard terrible things about that one.

Do you often find yourself in a situation where you need to install video games 4 times in a month? If so, TAGES is the least of your concerns.

Playing Fable III and really enjoying it once I turned that horrible AA/blur off. Bought it on a GFWL sale. I like how I can "wrap" non-Steam games in Steam and play them With access to friends, the screenshot function and so on. I've been taking a lot of screenshots lately :)

Did exactly the same thing a while back. It's cool. He stands taller than a few of the mecha figures he's next to.

I played through it on PC. I didn't have FRAPS running, but it was a mostly 60fps experience with everything maxed at 1080p except for the occasional noticeable drop when there were either tons of enemies, environmental changes (like burning rafters falling in the first level), or special effects like tons of fire. The hitches were rare, but definitely noticeable when they did occur. That was on an e8400/5870. Game looks fantastic though at 1080p. Would strongly recommend it if you enjoyed the gameplay on 360. Plays perfectly with a gamepad.

Have they said anything regarding Rage? It's been slapped with a $30 Aussie Tax on Steam itself.

IntKeys are selling Space Marine for $35. I've purchased from them before a couple of times (FEAR 3 and The Witcher 2) and both keys activated just fine.

It's a bad dungeon siege game, but a decent action rpg. Even at max everything the graphics are kind of flat, the characters are flat, and nothing really stands out. It's like Obsidian went "we're not going to innovate anything, this time it's by the book to the letter!" and they somehow made a competent but ultimately boring game.
