The descriptor "now" is meaningless, since it hasn't improved in any way in years. Everything that used to be wrong with it is still wrong with it.
The fact it's there at all is a problem!

I never had a problem with it until this year. It fucked my Arkham City clear game save after a billion hours of hunting down sidequests and riddler shit. I've never raged so hard. One minute it was there. The next minute it wasn't. Fuck that.
Did your save file get recovered when the Arkham City patch came out that fixed people's save files somewhat recently?
Great deal but seems to be US only.
I solved that problem by uninstalling. I didn't really mind all the updating though, I just don't think it's all that good. I thought Orc Must Die was a way better tower defense game.

For some reason I had 2 50% off AC:Revelations coupons dropped in my inventory
What's up with that?

I had already gotten rid of it. I was able to use the rollback file thing in windows so I actually only wound up losing like 3-5 hours (one sitting). I was happy enough since I was able to start new game plus then at least. The file was there and everything, the game itself just wouldn't see it. So I'm sure if I had held onto it, it would have worked.

I've never used the portal for a single player game was your game saved on C: or server side and it bunked everything up? Just curious.

I tried it when it was released that little Tinker game and it didnt do well. When launched they sold AOE3 for $1 which also didnt install properly.
But since I re-fired it up two month ago on my newly built pc it isnt too bad. Less intrusive than Steam imo. Not that I'm comparing the two Steam is far and away the superior service. i get annoyed how it attaches itself to everything no matter where I buy it from is my only gripe.
I think MS has all but given up on GFWL. Like Bluray vs. Super HD they heard the bell or didnt see money in it.
Looking forward to MS Flight on Steam. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Damn I would bite on Saints Row but i'm wrapped up in The Witcher 2. Plus I already have open world madness waiting for me in Just Cause 2. Hmm first world problem indeed...

Think I'll finally get Saints Row 3. Is any of the DLC essential?

Saved on my computer. If I remember correctly, in this case I believe they said it was happening because of achievements. Something about your XBL account and your save game achievements getting out of whack with each other. Which, I had just gotten an achievement when it struck, so seems like that was the case.
It's being rebranded to just Xbox Live in Windows 8. They're not going to let customers hating it and developers not using it slow them down. I would assume it will be mostly for arcade games actually. But, don't actually know that to be the case.
If they would have priced RR:U at 39.99 and gave a 10 percent pre-order bonus, I would have bit. But 50 dollars is steep. And the fact the one dude is posting screenshots with a GTX 680 and isn't holding 60fps makes me real weary.
Maybe it'll get a quick price bomb to 24.99. In my perfect world, I would have priced it at 29.99.

None of it on its own is, if you ever run into a season pass on sale though it'd be worth picking up if you enjoy the game.
I'd love to see some of the XBLA games on PC, my heart still broken because there's no Geometry Wars 2 for PC ):

Cool. I wasn't going to play it right away so I might just wait until it's all on sale and play it then.
Such an addicting game.

I pre-ordered and Rayman 2 really hasn't held up, the fact that Ubisoft didn't really do anything to help modernise the port doesn't help matters. There is controller support but you can't remap the buttons and the default scheme is totally whack. Maybe there's an .ini buried somewhere that I can edit. I played the Great Escape for all of an hour and simply uninstalled it.
Yeah, I had the same problem with the GOG version. I could remap the gamepad bindings with MotionInJoy, but it would be a tedious process. And it's something I just can't play with a keyboard, especially since you can't control the camera with the mouse. The stretched hud bugged me crazy too, but I guess that could be fixed by playing in 4:3 mode. I would love to play it again, but the PC port needs a good update.

I'm pretty sure local was meant as same PC.
Ok this is getting ridiculous now. I just got a second 480meg update now.
These developers are garbage, i want to go to the Dungeon Defenders OT and tell the devs they are pathetic.
Every 2 or 3 days this game has a massive upgade. Often multiple upgades in 1 day.

I have personally have never seen patch notes in the news section.
I assume they balance one thing, then change their mind or make it OP, then roll it back all the time.
Their website or Steam forums never have patch notes either.
Looks like they're patching in new DLC all the time. A new pack came out yesterday, hence the update. Whatever, I haven't even installed it yet, maybe I never will! Shit was like two bucks at Amazon.

Dungeon Defenders is a nice game but these patches are out of control. I went to sleep a few hours ago and it was downloading a 600+mb patch. I wake up and it's downloading a new 480mb patch. Seriously, what could you possibly do to require a 500mb patch 4 hours after your last 600mb patch? It's not even the size that bothers me, but the frequency is just too much. I get the feeling the developers don't properly plan or test their patches at all.
He said the developers are garbage, not the game, referring to the constant updates.
Steam does a have not update opinion for games but it is wonky at best. Also the game basically needs to be connected to the net so you can't avoid the updates.
The problem is, all the option does is disable automatic patching when you're NOT playing the game. It would work for Dungeon Defenders as long as you never wanted to play Dungeon Defenders, in theory, and even that might be wonky.
But if you wanted to say, play Skyrim without having the latest patch forced on you, there is no way to do it without a cracked executable as far as I know. If someone knows something I don't, please let me know. This applies to the official patches, of course, and not the optional Skyrim beta.
And yes, it's sad that Valve hasn't implemented it. Maybe they're afraid people will keep old versions of games with bugs and glitches or something.

What if the game is launched in offline mode?

Pretty much thinking I'm going to buy Risen tonight. But what is the Level Up key?
Actually I think they added support for that recently. Only for games using the new content distribution system, though.
Oh, nice.
