Hmm, I'm starting to think that the clock runs at 2x speed haha.
Added with the BPM mode. I think that any game using the new content distribution model will have that option.

Binary Domain goes on that pile of big stinking heaps of garbage I bought and tried because of raves here and nowhere else. So godawful, particularly on PC.

Why is it particularly bad on PC?
Play past the first hour or so, it gets amazing.
Also, if you have an AMD card, which I assume is the cause of people's FPS taking a shit when huge robot boss fights happen, you just have to power through it.

Anyone have Dwarfs!? from a bundle or know a bundle that's active that has it? I'm in game right now and don't want to search. I don't follow the bundles at all.
Anyway have an extra copy?

Reflection of Gaf's inner qualities. Great ideas, fundamentally flawed. LOL

Apparently it's the massive FOV support and superb performance even with downsampling. lol

Binary Domain is a great game and better than Gears of War simply because the enemies don't have to be bullet sponges if you're good enough.
Real talk.
Real talk.
Binary Domain is great but it starts off badly. Most game devs front-load their games with all the best scenes and action and make everything intense at the beginning because most players have short attention spans. Binary Domain starts off slow and progressively ramps up steadily through the game until you're WTFWTFWTFFFFF by the end.

Enemies aren't really bullet sponges in Gears either if you are good enough.

I have Binary Domain. Not going to play it because it's too mainstream on GAF.

It's OK, hipster. You can tell people you were into Binary Domain back when it was in beta. ;-)

It's all on Steam. Some has to be bought separately, but AC2 and Brotherhood just come with the DLC built in.

haha.
I'll give it a chance next week. Seems like my kind of game anyway, just swamped with Hitman right now.
I hate the checkpoint system in this game.

Dwarfs hasn't been in any bundle from what I know. There is a f2p version of the game in steam. The only difference is that it only got the main game without the dlcs

Indeed. My first session with the game lasted a couple of hours and at that time I thought, eh, it's alright. Then when I started it the next night, I stayed up to 3am to finish it because I needed to know what would happen. The shooting is extremely solid and I love that the robots can lose their arms/legs head etc but the story really made it for me.
Stick with it, for sure.
2 in particular has the story-related DLC integrated into the main campaign narrative itself, which is a nice touch. It's separate (insofar that you must access a "restored memory") in Brohood.
He meant "everybody hate it. It flopped at retail. GAF says it is godly".

Do you give Hitman a thumbs up or down?
Checkpoint system shouldn't exist in any game, especially in a stealth game.

The collective of GAF becomes smaller everytime it's referenced. The only time it's recommended is usually in the context of it being 5 bucks.

Right now? As a Hitman game I give it a solid 8. Great graphics but it feels more like a normal stealth/action game than the Hitman we love.
Not saying it's bad, but I miss the open-worldness of the past titles. So a thumbs up.

Tempted to get Football Manager 2013, but it's only 25% off. Should be much lower come Winter Sale right?
Amazon doesn't have Dishonored too, so that's another to wait.
Edit: HOLY SHIT Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is 66% off at Gamersgate, what a deal!

It doesn't activate on Steam. It uses GFWL. Oh, and on top of that, it also happens to be a terrible game.
Don't buy it!!

Bah. Out of that pack all I want is space marine.
One day I WILL own space marine!
But I live in the UK, so no deal, and I am fresh outta cash, not even got enough money for the winter seal.
One day GAF, I will LTTP for warhammer.
A bunch of QTEs were broken for me at 120fps, had to undo the fix temporarily to get past them.
Ah, okay. Hmm.
Being sold forever at 7.5 is better than being sold for a few weeks at full price at retail and being removed after. Digital has changed the notion of old and new.
If I want to move an already installed game to another drive which of these is the better choice? I'm guessing there's not much difference.
