Dungeons did absolutely nothing for me. The concept for the game is just too.... strange.
You basically have to a make a theme park for the heroes coming into your dungeon, satisfy their needs and then kill them to eat their essence. So instead of building the coolest most lethal dungeon you can you have to treat it completely backwards.
No matter how much I played of it, it never felt right.

I haven't tried the story mode of it yet. But me and a mate gave the challenge map it comes with a spin and it is fairly interesting. You get this robe which you can't use in any other mode other then the story mode and this one new challenge map (perhaps you can unlock it for universal play, I dunno) but you get healing through arcane and summon minions abilities which does change it up in ways that I didn't quite anticipate but are fairly awesome. I think, if you are a Magika fan it seems to change things up in a fairly interesting fashion, but it won't bring you over if you are indifferent to the game. For the price though, I would say go for it.

EDIT: DAMN IT NOW I OWN IT, THANKS FOR NOTHING GAF

That would make me a bit sad sad, but that's just me defending my pre-order costs at this point. Life.
And back logs... what back logs? It's play what you want, when you want to.

Like what kind of problems? I had some rhythmic frame rate hitches as I ran through levels, but I attributed that to not enough RAM (3GB). Everything was totally playable though.

It's also awful.

It's also 2.50... which shouldn't matter if it's awful but principle etc.
I'll go halvsies with it. My bigger issue is junk just makes organization more difficult. That's my bias against adding things unless there's even a remote chance I might some day actually play it.

I always meant to try that out. Now that it's on Steam I guess it's as good a time as any.

I just watched the trailer:

Is this one of those games where at the end you realize that you've been building an atomic bomb and now you're all sons of a bitches?

I'm hoping I turn out to be a ghost where I'm trying to commit suicide.
I think you're getting this game confused with the

Major Steam releases for the rest of the year:
Darksiders II
Sleeping Dogs
Dark Souls
Borderlands 2
Dishonored
Assassin's Creed III
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Hitman: Absolution
My bet is for Sleeping Dogs to drop the fastest in price.

I love Heretic 2, and would pay good money to have it in my Steam library.
The game was published by Activision so thats probably why, they dont care about their old library of games.
Heretic 1 was published by iD software...

I need you to spoil for me what other game does that because it sounds awesome.
im hoping borderlands drops the fastest... though for me the biggest steam release for the rest of the year would be Torchlight 2. The most expensive game i have ever preordered from steam lol

I don't remember an atomic bomb in this. I remember discovering I was a creepy asshole though.
Oh for fuck's sake, this can't be true. -_-
It's slightly off-topic, but I started playing Arkham City yesterday. Even though GFWL prevented me from being able to play Arkham Asylum for more than a few hours, I bought Arkham City during the Steam sale. You know, I thought that GFWL might have improved over the last years.
Turns out, the game runs fine.
Until I wanted to start playing again today. Guess what? All save files are suddenly empty. GFWL strikes again.
Is there any way to recover save files that have been "lost" by GFWL? Please say yes. Please.

At the end of the game there's all this talk of an atomic bomb. But I just took it as an analogy regarding the relationship between the Tim and the girl he is after.

Well played like for 25 minutes, taking my time, i reached the motel. The weird graphical corruption started appering on screen. I exited to desktop and couldn't run the game or any other one until i restarted the machine. I thought maybe it was the vid card but it ner got above 67 celcius and i did extensive gaming sessions with other games and all seemed normal.
The official forum talks about not overclocking the GPU but mind cuarrently isn't. I even scared to start up the game again XD That is until i can find if anyone had similar issues.
That's the literal interpretation. The metaphorical interpretation is that
Tim was a scientist on the Manhattan Project obsessively chasing the breakthrough that would lead to the atomic bomb. The start of the game, with the city in ruins and aflame in the background, is the aftermath of this. The girl is symbolic of the elusive scientific discovery that Tim's after. Blinded by love, blinded by scientific obsession

I looked at is as the building of the bomb was compared to all of these problems Tim had with this girl, and the bomb going off was the relationship finally ending. The city in ruins is his world ruined because she is gone.

Alright, I need to replay this game.
Thanks for the explanation, guys.
Thanks for the explanation, guys.
Yeah, that's a different, and also entirely plausible explanation of the story. I don't think Johnathon Blow has ever stated specifically what the meaning was, only saying that there are multiple ways of interpreting it.

And that's one of the things I love most about the game. So many theories out there on what's going on. I hope The Witness is the same way in that regard.

Weird. Have you verified the cache and such? American Nightmare crashed for me 3 times throughout the session for seemingly no reason, but the graphical corruption sounds strange.
I see the updated it on June 13th that touches on some graphical stuff. Was your session past then?
Yeah I've been looking forward to it as well. I think the multiple layers of meaning beyond just the puzzle platforming aspect is why Braid stood out to me over the multitude of other indie puzzle platformers out there.
Do you have any idea where that folder might be located? The only thing I can find right now is the WB Games folder in Documents, but the save games folder inside is completely empty. But I don't really know whether or not there's a special place where GFWL saves the save files...
its in your userfolder somewhere /user/wrowa/ and either in /local/ or /roaming/

Were you logged in or were you playing offline? One trick would be to find the save file directory and see if there's a folder with your save data in it. One tip was to start a new game, save and immediately quit. Copy the name of that new older, delete it and replace the name of your original save folder (if exists) with new one.

The only other one that has come close for me has been Limbo. Most of them seem to just put focus on puzzles and platforming, which is fine, but it's nice to see a game try and do something more with it.

Blow said in some interview that the start wasn't supposed to look like an atomic explosion, just a nice sunrise/dawn. So it's an interesting interpretation but not something he intended. Afaik he didn't even draw that background himself.

They forgot to put the daily deal on the front page again, but apparently it's Magicka. Hexen II is also inexplicably on sale.

Yes, i did verify the cache and returned no problems. The gaming session was in July. The strange thing was that after i had to exit the game, every game i started had the graphical corruption and then after some seconds entering the inital screens it stopped working. No issues after i restarted.
Im just wandering if anyone had a similar issue with any game now.

I don't mind Jagged Alliance but I've only played through the tutorial, never played the originals and most seem to thin k Back in Action is pretty mediocre.

What do you guys think are the chances of getting a 15-20% deal on Dishonored on GMG? I don't remember Bethesda being all that generous
