Demo was just too much fun. Hope i can fix the "vsync on = mouse lag, vsync off = tearing" issues.

I mentioned in another thread where you posted this same problem, that there is the standard solution of D3DOverrider to force vsync and triple buffering. Someone else said it worked. Did you try that?

Idk man, what else is coming out? I mean i got Deus Ex HR, Arkham City, RAGE, Isaac, Dead Island, Clash of Heroes, Renegade Ops, Rock of Ages, Bastion, From Dust, Trackmania 2, Space Marine..

I think this is the year i bought the most games.. got a good paycheck mid-year and saved it for release-aton. I think its working.

Kirby Mass Attack, Alien Infestation for DS should be in the mail, getting Layton 4 gifted by a friend..

gonna skip Kirby Wii for now i think, but i'll give you this: ill probably get Skyward Sword on release, so you got a point there.

I dont own PS360 so ha!

Just keep in mind that by the time Skyrim gets it's first sale there should be a decent selection of mods out there to fix parts of it (Interface and menus I am looking at you)

On the topic of Orcs Must Die, the headshot chains scream mouse and keyboard controls. I have yet to try it with a pad, but I can't imagine it's even close.

My situation with D3D overrider is weird. It doesnt let me install it cause it tells me i already have it, but i dont even know where and i cant find it. Pretty sure i deleted it before, there must be some file left, and im lazy. I should get around to it.

It's part of the Rivatuner package, so make sure you're looking for that when uninstalling and not d3doverrider directly. Use Revo Uninstaller to completely clean it out.

I think Skyrim is the only PC game I will pay $60 for this year (unless there's some kind of pre-order discount). I spent a couple hundred hours or more in each Elder Scrolls since Daggerfall and I plan to keep the tradition.

I am worried the system reqs will be rediculous and I will have to get it on console... which breaks my tradition of Elder Scrolls games only on PC. lol

Nah there will be sliders for everything. It will look better on your PC than console even if it's not a great PC. + mods, don't forget mods.

I just hope Skyrim shows up elsewhere cheaper, considering its Steamworks.

Managed to not pay 60 bucks for any new release this year, wether from gifting from another region or using vouchers on other sites/whatever.

The only chance Skyrim has of me getting it is if something like that shows up. Im sure the content justifies the price, but i just dont have that kinda money right now.

Same here, and I'm sure it will $10-15 cheaper I'm guessing. I'm also liking the trend of many newer big titles being Steamworks.

Well to be fair that's cause there's been a lot of titles published by Bethesda and they pretty much sided with Steam for everything.

I mean i agree, but Batman was a low blow. I was really putting my money on them taking the crappy feedback from using GFWL before.

Specially after seeing Bastion being steamworks (wich was published by WB, same as Batman).

Orcs Must Die! is so much fun. I think playing with a 360 controller feels better than kb/m, even though spamming RT makes your trigger finger hurt after a while. :p And yes, this game would really shine in co-op.

You should be going for headshots instead of spamming fire :p

Headshots kill quicker than spam but, yes, spam is easier. But you kill enemies faster with headshots and earn more points/money.

You have to go back to the site and generate a Steam key for Space Chem. Check your email, they should have sent you a link.

I hope it comes out sooner than later, but it's nice to know they aren't rushing it.

Honestly, I'm more excited for Torchlight 2 than Diablo III.

Holy shit Hamilton DLC :O

By popular demand your favorite developer has given their level designers the task of creating even more retro extravaganza in the same spirit as the Toader level of the main release.

This map pack contains new levels that bring back the irrepressible charm, and also that daunting touch of hardcore difficulty, that could only be found in the 80’s. They are inspired by famous levels found in legendary NES titles and carry names such as It’s a me, Hamilton! and Dungeon #9.

Accompanying the levels are brand new and shiny achievements to ensure that your bragging rights are properly boosted as well.

sounds great
