Might as well ask here. I deleted my Darksiders II save by mistake. Is there anyway for me to grab an older save off the cloud? It happened while I was alt-tabbed out of the game. I know it probably sync with the new save-less state, but I want to grab a slightly older state with my save intact.
It's the fact that they thought that that counted, right?

Third thread already? Didn't expect the prior thread to end before the Winter sales. =/
We may be getting a fourth thread, couple of major events coming up in the next few months.

And yet we're still waiting for BPM and the rest of the new content system features.
With every major sale and member approval we get more irregulars and regulars so it's not that surprising. I feel this year will be one of the biggest yet.
I think I may end up getting a preorder as well. Normally I go for at least 30% of or so if I want a game at launch but dammit it's CS, it's like I have to buy it.
I personally find that chart extremely suspect. Racing is 0.7? The racing genre (sim in particular) is incredibly vibrant on PC.
EDIT: And I mean relatively speaking. I'm not arguing it should be 20 percent, just that it shouldn't be getting blasted by the flight sim category. Do. Not. Buy.
Fuck EA and the NFL for giving the EA the exclusive rights and making a manager type NFL game impossible. I would day one at 59.99 (if it was quality).

Football Manager is probably that whole 0.6 lol

So where's the PC version of FFXIII-2 :s (or was it FFXIV? the one that's not the crappy MMO. god I hate Sqeenix's naming scheme)Some fun I saw over at Alienware
Basically comparing which genres are popular between console and PC. Damn shame about how low Sports and Action are.

Well done.
Reposting for the new thread.
The Guild 2: Renaissance is a great game if you can get through the jank.
It's the daily deal and at 2.50, I recommend it! You don't need the other games from the series, Renaissance is a standalone game and has everything from the previous games.

Thread title feels empty. Needs more bad rats sales.
Man, ClaDun x2's sprites are so charming and the music is great. I can't get myself to cough up the money right now though, the damn class textbook rush is going to smack me in the face soon. It also falls under the "Super hyped about it now but will play a lot then and/or go ADD and forget about it at some point or another" category.
I really like how they let you change between older 8-bit goodness and newer smoothed out stuff for font and music though.

If you want to incorporate this into the OP xelios.

Getting around to my backlog, decided to fire up Dragon age Orgins...
10 hrs in and........what's the key to enjoying this game? Combat is awful as a warrior, attacks have no umph to them and 11 on 4 battles are a mess and not fun, story is boring so far, characters are all squares........sigh

The only bad thing steam does is make my feel guilty by telling me I've played FM2012 for 620 hours so far. :O
I suddenly don't feel so bad about my 239 hours in FM2012.
Why is it great? Can you describing it? My gf loves Anno 1404 and Fable (the social and economic aspects especially), would this be for her?
Non MMO-Final Fantasy games will never come to PC, sadly. FFXI and FFXIV are the MMOs by the way.
(Mostly) Quoting myself from the previous Steam thread:
That's more of a strategy game than a sports game either way
I'd say it's equally both.
Tenth hour impression:
Let's hope it doesn't come to this... >_>
my mistake, 36 months

Why is "Casual" so low on consoles? I thought CoD was pretty popular?
I bought BlOps and MW2
I haven't played Anno, but it doesn't really resemble Fable at all. It's a lot more complicated, and there's tons of micromanagement, especially if you decide to go in politics.
You have to create a character and choose what profession he/she will have: patron (farms, inns), craftsman (blacksmith, mines, woodcutting), scholar (hospital owner, church) or rogue (thief, bandit). You can hire people to help you with your job, you can get into a relationship (if you have a kid and you are killed, you won't be eliminated from the game). You can also get special benefits if you try to go into politics, such as arresting people or having immunity. You can sue people if you see them doing a crime, bribe them... there's really lots to do. If she doesn't like micromanagement, the game is not for her.
There's lots of "euro-jank" and it's kinda buggy, but for the price, I easily recommend it. Only get Renaissance if you decide to buy it, as it includes everything from the previous games.
edit: kinda beaten

Anno is called dawn of Discovery in the us, it's an economy and trading sim. The guild basically sounds like the perfect game for her, worth a try for some chump change. Take my money gabe!

Looks like the Humble Bundle for Android 3 has been added to the registry. So... HB incoming.
