It is disappointing though, to see a lackluster DLC to be a top seller. I miss Combined operations being on top.
They say that's the mark of a genius. Or a madman.
Shouldn't really be surprising -- there's nothing really good to buy :s (edit: with as big of an audience that is), and ARMA II's market has to be getting saturated at some point.
I want to pick up some Codemasters games, hope for a franchise sale tomorrow when GRID 2 gets officially announced.
Is it dumberer than Oblivion?
Don't worry, I'm planning on picking up the Arma bundle when it goes on sale. Not gonna play DayZ, so I'll probably have to wait a whole year or more.

I feel like the ARMA studio is cashing in on Day Z. I bought it just to play DayZ and will probably never play ARMA. I am sure there are thousands of other people like me who purchased just for Day Z. It probably wouldn't make the top 10 otherwise.
It wouldn't. Arma was never super popular until Day Z got popular. It had a small hardcore audience but nothing large enough to warrant the sales it has now.
DRM is a big deal, essential mods like high resolution mods don't work on the Steam version.
That's it? Maybe it's just the console gamer in me, but I've never much cared for mods. So long as the game works as is, I usually don't mess with it. Modding is a perfectly valid reason to eschew one version for another, though.

This is not true at all for the high resolution patches. You just have to go through a few hoops to get them to work. I played both Fallouts at 1920x1080. I am not sure about other mods however.
Edit: Game Guru, you will definitely want the high res mod. Otherwise, the game will look all fucked up color wise as it cannot display correctly.

Alright just finished Driver SF. Help me pick my next game:
Bastion
Ys The Oath in Felghana
Binary Domain
Darksiders
Bastion
Ys The Oath in Felghana
Binary Domain
Darksiders
The Grim Heaper

Hm... I'm fan of them all except Bastion, but Ys isn't very long if you only plan on going through it once. Plus it's totally awesome. I say Oath in Felghana!
Bastion. Excellent game, does get a bit repetitive towards the end though.
I've only played Ys: THe Oarh in Felghana for a few hours on my PSP but it seems alright.
Binary Domain I haven't really played. Played the demo and didn't really enjoy it.
I'm going to start Darksiders today.
Verdict: start with Bastion since its the shortest
Have you played and beat Dishonered have you? If anything Dishonered has one of the worst artstyles i have ever seen, you're the one with shit taste. Game is IP blocked in many countries aswell, Australia being one.

I found it slightly funny that you listed them by length from shortest to longest. I say Binary Domain because I loved that game. The others are all good too. You cannot really go wrong no matter what you pick.
Binary Bromain, of course. The others don't have Cain or Big Bo.
Whaaaat, this is on steam?? How is the pc version?
Oh, and I cant play my copy of binary domain because of that damn nvidia optimus...
Uh... My version of Fallout 1, which is the GOG version to be fair, displays correctly. Hell, the only times I get funkalicous colors, it because I went from fullscreen to windowed on DOSBox.

I assumed you wanted to know the difference between the GOG version and the Steam version because you were thinking of getting the Steam version, which does feature this problem.
Ah, I was just curious since I was considering Fallout 2 and Tactics which might've been worth the price the entire collection was selling for. So does this mean the Steam versions use DOSBox whereas GOG uses the Windows version? Avoiding a crappy version of DOSBox I can understand.
Prolly just wants to complain, its the human nature after all.
Because only American's who can buy it? And the American market has been dictating the games industry for far too long?
(But in this case they may actually be right about Dishonoured - great team behind it, great potential, but it feels like they're trying to sell it to frat boi's and can't even get that right)
Don't get too excited.. it's the sequel.
It's not like it's Onechanbara: Samurai PC Slayer or anything
Steam is down for me.

Just a few posts and I'm already a bit hyped for Sleeping Dogs. Thanks GAF. It's not gonna be a day-1 title though, I haven't done that in a while + backlog lolol.

Having trouble with the wired xbox360 controller on PC: it randomly makes the switch tabs back to windwos...
I feel it something with the triggers... Anything I could do ?

I just bought the above, but the version being promoted on the front page is the Ultimate Edition, which includes the DLC and is less than a buck more.
Edit:
Thanks man!
stop doing that. i've already bought Sleeping Dogs and Dark Souls with the coupons from before. my wallet is still empty from Steam's summer sale. and now you flash those deals in front of my eyes? not fair at all
Thanks for that, worked a treat.

I feel so lucky in that I can enjoy all manner of games, both indie and big company, irregardless of their budgets or fanbase or even units sold, simply on the basis of whether or not I find it a fun game to play.
I love Skyrim. I love Plants vs. Zombies. I love Frozen Synapse, and Stone Soup, and Spelunky, and Indenture, while at the same time enjoying the DiRT series and Railworks and Call of Duty and Minecraft and Diablo III.
I feel so sorry for people like you Derrick, people who can't simply enjoy good games and appreciate the positive in any game instead of focusing on the negatives of all of them.

Same. Almost gave in and bought it yesterday on GMG but huge amounts of DLC put me off.

Dishonored still isn't up for pre-order in the UK nor Australia, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it's AWOL in other countries too.
:lol you're going to say I have shit taste when you knock a unique game just because of its art style? That's beyond stupid.
You don't have to feel sorry for me. My life isn't lacking at all just because I hate indie games and casual stuff like Skyrim.

I don't feel sorry for you because your life is lacking, I feel sorry because you can't appreciate certain things that a lot of other people can. Skyrim isn't perfect by any means, but it's a fun game for what it does do well. It has many merits, and that is why Dawnguard is such a big seller right now. You might think it's casual crap, but it's not, you are just missing out on what makes it good.
I mean, it's okay to hate a game simply because you don't like the style of game or the art direction or story. There are plenty of popular games that I don't like, but I can still appreciate what is good about them and why other people like them even if I don't. And I don't run around talking negative shit about those games trying to bring everyone else's enjoyment down as well.
You just seem to think that anyone who likes Skyrim (and other games you don't like) are idiots who don't know what good is. Maybe your opinion is just different? Maybe it's you who isn't understanding what is going on?
There is nothing good about Skyrim. I've been a fan of the franchise for years and I know what makes it good. Skyrim fails in every category. It's the direct result of massive casualization and consolization. I haven't been able to play it again even with mods yet because all of the problems still exist. I'm waiting for the huge mod collections to come out that fix all of its problems and make it a playable game.

Goddamnit Valve :/
4 people wasting their money on a game with a dead community is worse than 1 person. I probably came off too abrasive, but I think I'd be a little annoyed if I were considering getting in on the 4-pack without the prior experience I've had with that game, and no one warned me about the sort of defunct state of the game.
I'll try to put it in less offensive terms next time
That's OK, we all hit a menstrual bump once in a while. I still maintain that The Haunted Hells Reach youtube vid is worth 4 or 5 dollars. Bloody, gory, zombie mutilation, frustratingly hard as I've read. It's PERFECT!

It's a shame that millions of people - myself included - enjoy such an objectively terrible game, wasting hundreds of hours exploring its asinine landscape trying desperately to dredge up some fun.
I personally have uninstalled the game as a result of your valiant efforts to showing me and countless others just how Skyrim has tricked us, defrauded us with what is known colloquially as "fool's fun". A lot of my friends are still lost in its lies - even so long after launch it has them in the grip of its mendacity. I will save them. Thank you.
