Awesome, thanks. Hopefully this comes out soon but I know the skinning process is a pain.

So I ask again:
Do we have solid information on the SecuROM situation of Crysis 1 + Warhead? Was the activation limit raised for the Steam version as well or not? Thanks in advance.

I think it's just for retail versions, if you want a clear cut answer you need to contact Cry-Tom in the crysis forums. (he's a community mod)

yeah, just seems like a dick move in general in what there doing, he posted a year ago about the issue in the Steam forums and hasn't come back to post on the issue:

US PSN doesn't get FF1 & 2 or a Final Fantasy sale. Or a Steam sale. RAAAAAAGEE!!
Less sense please.
I wanna die right now. ARE YOU HAPPY?

Why doesn't the US get these great sales
Pfft, you guys get to use Siri & voice search without pulling out your best John Wayne impression to get results.
Fair trade!

I know we're only supposed to be making one-line filler posts while waiting for the sale, but I thought I'd ask this anyway (don't really wanna bump the OT):
Does Alan Wake ever get better? I've been playing for about 3ish hours and I'm still wondering if it ever turns into an actual game or if it's just all gonna be insufferable cutscenes and barely interactive cinematic "adventuring" sequences only interrupted by short, mediocre shootbang sections from here on out? I mean, it's painful enough having to suffer through the abysmal writing and the ludicrous animation (or lack thereof). If only the actual gameplay - what little there is - were any good...
So, yeah, can I expect the rest of the game to be just like this?

Pretty much, though it does open up a little bit towards the end.
Edit: Earlier on you're given a car and a destination, but you're free to explore the few side attractions along the way, and when you're on your way to the Anderson farm, that section is similarly "wide linear".

Once you get past the first few hours, there's less cutscenes it's almost all shootbang until the end. But yeah, pretty much.

If u dont like the game after the first 3 hours u should stop playing it. The game is more about a very good story. It has one memorable gameplay moment (the concert) but thats it. The rest is just epic story.

38 minutes until disappointment.
Yeah I finished it yesterday, that was the only bit that stood out to me in the whole game.
Wouldn't go as far as to call the story epic, it wasn't bad.

where is this sale ?

Click the "Never Going To Happen" section, right next to specials. It's right between Half-Life 3 and Ricochet 2.
Thanks guys, appreciate the input!
If the game really *is* primarily about the story and nothing much will change about the structure either, I might as well quit now. I mean, the plot itself might turn not to be so bad (although I have my doubts), but the writing is seriously sub-Bioware level tripe. Just, ugh... And I don't know how anyone can take it seriously either considering the "performances". I honestly break into laughter every time one of the characters emotes or just talks - just *wow* at the animation.

I haven't even installed Alan Wake. Why do you do this to me, guys?

For me it was a epic story because it was unique and it fit quite nice into the bottle of twilight zone stories. And it was a sophisticated story and not just a hurr-durr-you-bad-im-gud story

I've been trying to play some games while waiting for the sale to start. And with games I mean Batman Arkham Asylum. So far I don't really see what people have been raving about.
Well done but not especially fresh 3rd person sneak/action which I would gladly play if the rest of the game wasn't so awful. I'm over 30 and can't get over the design and story/dialogue. I know videogames usually have a pretty low bar but everything in this game is something that perhaps a 12 year old would find cool or believable. Batman and everyone else looks like escaped roid monsters from Jersey.
Not sure why this game bugs me so much, played lots of others with a similar look. Don't think I will finish it due to this, which is sad because it is quite fun.
