DR2's engine is great.
Seriously. The DR games are gorgeous on PC and run amazing.

Not only that, but GFWL too. Why they insist on using that steaming pile of crapware I'll never understand. I've been somewhat interested in it even with all the negativity, but that just makes it easy for me to not buy it.
Been playing Blades of Time and I have to say, I've been enjoying it. It's a dumb action game but it does have some pretty interesting concepts. The time-rewind mechanic is a bit wonky but it's interesting and works well enough.
Some of the extra powers that can be acquired by Ayumi are also pretty cool, such as the Shadow Ayumi that appears to help and fight when her health drops very low. When I bought the game I was kinda expecting it to be crap, but IMO it's an alright game with some interesting stuff. I like it.
And now the question is, should I buy Binary Domain? I'm interested in it, but with all their pre-release shenanigans I was kinda put off. Are the story and setting interesting?

Not saying otherwise as I haven't played it. Just the bemoaning the fact that Capcom doesn't want to share with their western partners (or even subsidiaries? wasn't Blue Castle bought and renamed?). I guess it would be too much of an investment to translate everything to English.
Uses Blue Castle's own engine, which is kind of amazing how closely it resembles the original Dead Rising.

If they choose competent Western devs then the engine doesn't matter.
That was the point he was trying to get across. No matter what levels/prestige they are, they still all suck because the skill ceiling is extremely low compared to something like Tribes or Counter-Strike.

This reminds me of the old Unreal Tournament days (my prime) when I'd interrupt clan games to school everyone because randoms were boring. The only time I remember being challenged around then was when I came across a single very talented person, which was refreshing for both of us, so we decided to do a 1-on-1. He was kicking my ass as the start, but after 3 games I had his beat and was getting a leg up on him and we ended up playing 3 hours. I looked up the tag on his name later and it was like the #3 clan in the world. @___@Anyway, the point is that public players suck ass. You won't get good by crushing scrubs all day. People only get better if they consistently go against experienced players and challenge themselves to do better.

But I like the MT Framework look
Anyway, a friend wants to buy Crysis 2 and since you can't buy it on Steam anymore he asked if the version sold on gamersgate could be registered on Origin. Does anybody know?
Did we have a better thread for arranging 4-packs? In any case, I'm also looking to join a US based Torchlight 2 4-pack.
Also Warlock: The Master of the Arcane (http://store.steampowered.com/app/203630/) was added late yesterday. According to Gamersgate it's Steamworks so you can probably find it cheaper outside of Steam. It's released in less than two weeks which is rather nice, something to play before Diablo 3.

I can't find a good matchup in Asian region in SMNC.
Also question: is Binary Domain Steamworks? Does that mean retail versions (once it comes out) will be Steam-activated?

Yes to both.
Don't bother with SMNC from Asia.. if you really want to play, try Europe. Although last time I checked, there were only something like 350 people online worldwide. The game seems to be more or less dead.
Also would like to know this. Haven't played since the original beta and I've been waiting for Legendary Edition to drop in price for a while, despite the Securom.
Oh man I want this to be good. But Paradox launch day...
Torchlight II is up on Steam. A light at the end of the tunnel?
$20 too. Excellent price!
I would but through the magical process of currency conversion the advantages of a 4-pack would be lost

Yep, pre-ordered the living day lights out of Torchlight II. Can't wait.

Ah yeah, I remember the first part. Thank you.
Might as well start with the first one. They are pretty even in quality, only really differing in pacing.
The first one is actually creepy and has boss fights.
I'd be interested in joining a 4 pack too.
Heh I just noticed that. For the cost of one copy of Diablo 3 from Blizzard I can get 4 copies of Torchlight II. Nice touch.
I didn't like it as much as the second because the mouse controls are pretty awful.
Did they improve in the 2nd? Controller supported?

Best decision possible.
Mouse controls are fine if you use triple buffering via something like D3DOverrider which honestly every single PC gamer everywhere should have installed.
I already preordered this yesterday (and also picked up a Valley without Wind and Evochron). I guess I didn't realize Evochron had multiplayer...I should install it or something.
Looks like an F1 team manager game has been added...
I wish someone would make one of those types of games for a sport I actually care about, i.e. not soccer, rugby, cricket, Formula 1 racing, or cycling.
I demand an NHL team manager! Hell, I'd even settle for one based on minor league hockey like ECHL.

Did not know! I disabled vsync because that's what was causing aiming it to be even more sluggish, didn't think triple buffering would help. Thanks. Might actually finish it now.
According to its Steam forum both games have native controller support (and 360 pad button icons). I haven't tried it myself. There do seem to be people experiencing issues and its store page doesn't say that it works with a controller which is a bit odd.

What's the F1 team manager game called?
Also, Torchlight 2 is so gonna be mine. Diablo what?

Both games perfectly support the wired 360 pad. The button prompts change and their is vibration.
The dude complaining before was using motionjoy because he wasn't wise enough to just buy a wired 360 pad.

I don't even know what it is but bought!
