Space Marine is visceral as hell. I don't think I've played a game that more made me feel like I'm slaughtering fools.
 
Ooh I've got another one; GFWL Marketplace.

Me a few days ago said:
Apparently I own all the DLC, fucked if I know how to get it in the game though! Oh I'll wander into this room in my sanctuary, there we are. Oh now GFWL overlay is up and going on about points. Oh zero points, that's nice. Oh I need to launch the full client to see my download queue, okay that's annoying but sure. Maybe I'll browse the rest of the DLC here since that in-game UI is awful. Oh right, GWFL Marketplace is in limbo right now so I can't do that.

Maybe I'll play something else.

Alright PC GAF,

Instead of making a brand new (and useless) thread I decided to ask here. I have been trying to game and beat games like crazy since school is around the corner. I finished Limbo, Jamestown, Cthulhu Saves the World, and Dead Space 2 over this small break. And I am ready to tackle another game and here are my choices and I am sure I cannot lose because they all seem like great games.

Aquaria
Deus Ex: Revolution
Assassins Creed 2
Bastion
Darksiders
Gemini Rue
Portal 2


Thanks GAF :D

Portal 2 is a good pick. It's great and won't take very long. Try and do the co-op if you get a chance.

Portal 2 or Darksiders.

Edit: Didn't see Bastion on that list at first. Some of the best 5-6 hours you will spend. Beat it in an afternoon then move on to Portal 2.

Yep, you are going to play Portal 2 next. It's a must play and it's only several hours long, depending on how much of a dummy you are.

Portal 2 is the best game on that list, so save it for the finale. I'd start with the smaller games, such as Bastion, and gradually move to the larger/longer games.
 
My vote on that list goes to Bastion. All the GOTY awards are a bit much but it's a really enjoyable game to play, and might even make you think.

No the gaming media isn't paid off. Nooooo, of course not. It's totally fucking legit when the WORST GAME EVER gets a fucking 80.

2nd EDIT: And that solved Jack. Even though I downloaded a little bit after verifying the cache, same thing. Hangs after 2 minutes of the DirectX bullshit.

Most Steamworks titles redownload the main exe after cache verification with a new key or whatever the hell those few changes in the exe file are.
 
PC GAF is awesome. :)

JaceC makes a point. Portal 2 is obviously the best game in my list, so I might as well hold off plus nobody to co op with.

1. Bastion
2. Portal 2
3. Deus Ex: Revolution
4. Assassins Creed 2
5. Darksiders

Thanks again.

I wonder how EA feels about the fact that linking to Origin is now a meme?

It just considers that person who visited the link are active members and adds it to it's 5 million active members it already has.




edit: (looks like I have Far Cry 2, going to give it away here later on)

Whenever Fable 3 goes on sale I regret not picking it up for $12 or whatever. But that video, showing the sanctuary, co op, farting, combat...seems like I'll wait until it's 2.50, if only because it seems nice to look at.

NOOOO

My categories are GONE. FUCK. Any emergency plans? :(

What exactly did you do before losing categories?

This happened to me too recently, and the only thing I can think that could have caused it is this:

1) Sign in using computer A
2) Sign in using computer B (A gets kicked off)
3) Go back to computer A later, do not log in. Close steam without entering password instead of logging back in

Any chance you did the same thing?

alice:madness returns, bastion, bulletstorm, warhammer 40k, deus ex:HR, psychonauts are my main priorities right now.

not bad :D don't think i should start anymore till i beat one of em. those are some amazing games i heard so shouldn't be too much of a problem to play em.

So. Fable III is a bad game?

Weather he is a douche or not, watch that Angry Joe video i posted and draw your own conclusions. Some of the design decisions in that made my jaw literally drop to the floor.

This isn't showing my RPG backlog. *cries*

Indeed.

Still got Skyrim (currently playing), Witcher 2, 2 Drakkensag games, Last Remnant, Divinity 2: Dragon Age Saga, Dragon Age Ulitmate, Two Worlds 2, Borderlands, EYE, Fable 1, Fallout NV (with DLC), Jade Empire, KOTOR, HOMM Clash of Heroes, Risen, Vampire TM to get through.

I made progress on Witcher 2, Last Remant, Borderlands, Dragon Age and KOTOR. I usally get half way through an RPG and give up.

Categories seem to vanish for people every so often. I think there's a system set up where every time someone asks about Episode 3, a random Steam user gets their categories erased out of spite.

Where in god's name are you seeing SR3 for $15? Or are you just being hypothetical?

Could be it. Gottamn. Oh well, at least I can look at my pretty backlog even more now.
 
So its good then? But bad? Is it so bad its fun like DNF because thats a bad I can actually deal with.

I dunno man, at least with Duke the combat had some really fun moments. Also I can't recommend in good conscience a game which contains progress-blocking bugs. A PC game, which contains progress-blocking bugs which you can't remove with user patches, or edit your save, or enter a console command to bypass. Just let that sink in for a moment.

so what does that mean? it's a good game? and a bad game?

at the same time?
