I'm replaying first two dungeons of Darksiders again since my saves got lost somehow and it's crashing every hour or so. Makes it rather tedious to work through the game for Darksiders 2 :-/

Just wait til you get to the second game. You don't know the word tedious until you do play it.

I can stomach a lot as long as the combat is competent. Crashes on the other hand...
I just killed Tiamat, moving to the next Chosen one which I already beat in my lost savegame. It's funny, I like the combat less the second time around but I appreciate the dungeon design more.

They have played 341 games of the 3,529 games they have bought.
Just under 10% actually booted and played.
Of course not including sales the steam calculator says it found 1675 Games with a value of
$24258.48 USD.
Didn't realise there were people out there who collected digital products.
If you like Prince of Persia style platforming you won't be bored.
Are you liking it? I got to the first dungeon's boss and called it quits. Maybe I'll get back to it someday and try to finish the game. Maybe...

I need a Mark of the Ninja sale asap.
Yup, I still think it's pretty great but as I said, the combat isn't exactly my cup of tea. It's in an uncomfortable place between Zelda and Devil May Cry where it gives you a lot of moves but lacks the fluidity to make it really good because a lot of the enemies have too much HP but lack any real challenge. I prefer the 2-3 hits in Zelda tbh.

God I hope so.
I don't know who to believe! The video claims it's 4chan, yet the video itself links to a picture that says it's Reddit and that 4chan tried to steal it.

2 things; thanks to Xel for the prototype overload, both games and dlc was a nice surprise at 5am
also, I just switched over to Telstra cable extreme and changed my download location in the Steam settings. now I max out at 9mb/s, so I thought I'd come and gloat.

Completely new engine? Hmm... I would of figured things like Source Filmmaker would be backwards compatible with it.

yay managed to find a 360 wireless controller at my local best buy...they actually had a shit ton of them so got to save some money with shipping if I ordered from Amazon. BTW, works fine on Windows 8 for those interested.

2 new bits of info for Blops 2 on PC. They will be increasing FOV to 90 and onscreen control hints will hotswap when switching between kb+m and controller

It's kind of appalling to think that there was a point where the PC version wasn't 90 FOV.
I recently booted Borderlands 1 back up to check something, and I had barely taken a few steps before I could feel a headache coming on. Playing BL2 at 100 FOV feels so good in comparision -- zero adjustment period.

dunno why they don't just include a slider in the advanced options. also, is it really right to celebrate the fact that a PC game in 2012 supports control hot swapping? it should just be assumed at this point.

Depends on how they're calculating the FOV. There's vertical and horizontal FOV, and 90 is fisheye territory for vertical FOV. I usually roll with 75. 90 is the traditional standard for horizontal FOV.

*cough* mass effect 3 + BF3 even still shows kb hints when using a controller
I'm going to laugh so hard if Ricochet 2 is actually Ricochet 2.
It's actually a Source 2 remake of Bad Rats.
Mass effect doesn't use a controller

Yes I know...the person I was commenting to said controller support was pretty much a given in 2012
One of the extreme few smaller/arcade titles I didn't regret buying at full price. Probably the only other xbla-type game I can say that about is shadow complex.
I'm honestly hoping it is just to see the reactions threads, I'd probably get more entertainment out of them than HL3.
"Well, people kept asking about Ricochet 2 so much, we pulled everyone off the internal Half-life 3 team and just focused on that instead."

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I don't get it. What else would it be if not Ricochet 2?

Did you ever play Ricochet 1?
Half Life 3
The next installment in the Half-Life franchise. Gabe is referring to it as Ricochet 2.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Yes, that's why I was asking.
Missed the reports of Gabe using it as code name for HL3 I guess then, thanks.

I'm the same.. I forget EA games have come out if they're not showing up on the Steam store </fanboi>
The only game on my radar is Sim City and they've already convinced me not to buy that with all the crap that's going on.. deleting a road deletes the zones attached to it.. wtf?
Best multiplayer game ever.

I finally went past the point of my lost Darksiders save, on my way to Gerudo Desert the Ashlands. 5hrs in, how much do I have left?

Is any of the Dead Rising 2: OTR DLC worth getting? I'm thinking just the skill packs, $5 just to unlock cheats is not something I want to reward Capcom for.
Also, any tweaks to get it to run not like shit? I think it's the DOF. I turned blur off, but my system isn't coping too well no matter how I play my settings.
