You were right, screen res is fixed to something prehistoric and I can't figure out how to play it in windowed mode.
Sorry already traded with Recon. Thanks for the offer though.

Are you into first-person adventures with a creepy atmosphere, and strong story ?
Intriguing, thanks! I'm close to picking it up.

It's one of the better examples of the Point & Click adventure medium. The art and sound drip of atmosphere and while the characters are a little goofy at times its horror is very subtle and creeps in rather than overtly beats you over the head. Highly recommended, though END SPOILERS
The payoff at the end with the final cutscene was shit and I felt a little let down. Perhaps the prehistoric looking CG hurt the effect it was meant to have but a sprawling retarded child wanting a hug isn't exactly the scare I was looking for.
Very solid with only one moonlogic puzzle I can think of.
Activating this on Steam and it's taking forever. Valve has to realize that service should not degrade because of a sale.
Steam just went down on me so I can't activate anything. My key from Gamersgate for the Magicka DLC says invalid anyway.
its basically the same thing you were gonna do, used your images cause I gotta run. I'll make it prettier later

Really fun arcade shooter on the 360, don't know how the PC port is. Wish I had the money to spare for it now as this is the cheapest it has ever been.

The new one (Testament of Sherlock Holmes) is the most refined from a presentation standpoint, but it's also really easy. Some of the earlier ones had harder puzzles, but were a lot more janky. So...it's kinda hard to say. I'm playing Testament right now and I'm enjoying it, but it's not challenging at all. It depends on what you want out of it, I guess.

Some great humour and gameplay but only in small chunks. I made the mistake of rushing through some campaign stuff and got bored enough to not want to start up again.

I'd have to agree; the new one is very great looking game. Polished, refined controls, etc. There's some puzzling through things, but I'd say the best one to pick up is either The Awakened or Jack the Ripper. Depends on if you want a story based on Cthuhlu/Lovecraft lore or Jack the Ripper.

i liked what i played of it on 360, very no frills arcadey score attack-based shooter. i think i'll bite on the pc version even if i dunno how it handles on kb&m just because it's cheap enough to not matter.
my damage so far:
Btw, it seems they're slowly adding games...

Anyone know how to get Condemned running in 1080p? I can only seem to make the menus fill the screen, gameplay is still pillarboxed.
Isn't it native? I have it from Amazon and had no problems with it I think.
I still might get this game on Steam though. I like everything one place.

Well, I just played through Dear Ester today, and besides the walking being a little slow I would say that I enjoyed it.Are you into first-person adventures with a creepy atmosphere, and strong story ?
It is good to hear that it is not overtly scary. I like atmosphere but I don't like horror movies.

I'm guessing this 3 GB patch for Sleeping dogs means the download for the dlc will be fairly small, right?
I have no idea where to put it but those of you who are looking forward to AC 3 on PC better cancel your pre-order.
This is quite old (May 2012) but it confirms that Ubi Soft Kiev is in charge of the port.
Sure, Revelations may have been a decent one but those guys were behind the unspeakable Future Soldier on PC.

That's a shame, it could have been a wonderful game on PC.

jesus christ, even now future soldier will be receiving another patch around december for more performance fixes - this a game that came out in june.
FFFUUUUCCKCKKKKK
I'm starting to get paranoid that I'm going to lose power due to the hurricane at the exact moment in time the game I'm playing autosaves and it ends up corrupted.
I can just go into offline mode right now right? Then if that worst happens, I can switch into online mode and it should ask whether to sync from Cloud?
(Oh and yay for getting the day off work for weather reasons!)
Edit: ok, I'm definitely not just being paranoid. I was loading up a BL2 save and my power blinked out at the same time :S

Well I just saved me some 60 dollars.
I like your optimism! I'm going with this- although I'm dying to play it, I could just pick up on console but it'll be interesting to wait it out. I wish we'd have gotten some footage or confirmation that is was indeed alright.
One would hope that AC is too important to ubisoft to let a terrible port get by. We know it's going to have a lot of extra features but if the game don't work then it doesn't matter.
I'm debating whether to wait or get the ps3 version tomorrow. On the one hand it'll be nice not to wait 3 extra weeks and it has the 4 exclusive missions, on the other it's more expensive and I can get AC3 and Hitman on the same day on PC.

Well it does say "involved with" which is not necessarily "in charge of", right?
I hadn't heard of Ubisoft Kiev before this is apparently what they've worked on:
Regardless I'll probably go for the console version anyway, I don't want to wait a month because ubisoft thinks all pc users are pirates.

Also future soldier still getting patches is a sign of a good thing rather than bad. Maybe they learned their lesson
Edit : oh wait these are the guys who ported revelations?? We might be worrying at nothing then. Future soldier is the exception here, not the other way around. Safe to think that they won't have issues with 3 since it's just the next version of the same engine
chill

Didn't from dust and driver have big PC problems when it came out too?
From dust is capped at 30fps and driver sf has little graphic options.
Revelations was totally fine, and I rather take that as an example of what to expect here
You make sense, too much for Ubi I'm afraid.
Thanks for having quoted my post in the OT I figured that PC gamers would be in majority here.
Don't hesitate and go for the PS3 version, DX11 and HD textures are not worth the hassles of making your game run.
Yeah, both terrible ports.
I'm starting to believe those guys are just incompetent.
Aww, why do you have to be suck killjoys and make me buy ACIII?
Damn that sucks.The most disappointing port to me is Dishonored this year so far. Save system is completely broken for me, it crahes on saves and loads constantly.
you keep taking revelations out of the equation even though that was recent and the most fair thing to compare considering it's another ass creed.
Again, imo I'd wait for footage
From what I understand Driver SF has several details and post-processing effects missing in the PC port. And it has worse lightning or something like that. I haven't played the console versions so it didn't bother me, but I can see how it could piss people off, decreasing the graphic quality and all.
