Yeah I know it's not
Coming from someone who has both XBLA and PC versions, Mutant Storm Reloaded is a great and highly challenging arena twin stick shooter.

$6.39
Trailer nearly sold me on it right then and there. I guess it's some sort of Kirby + CaveStory?

Yeah, Capcom needs to get it going already. Also waiting for the eXceed trilogy.
Yeah, this was Capcom's most recent "official" responses: http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_cap...Nyu_Media_games_on_Steam&post_num=4#519240829
Oy.

I hate that I have no faith or trust in Capcom to the point where my first thought from reading that is "bullshit." It may actually be true but I just don't believe it.

A really fresh take on the RTS genre. Love the series (and Dawn of War as well); the economy is tied to you're battles. You're fighting over resource points, so instead of pumping out drones to mine resources (which you'd spend the first five minutes or so of Starcraft 2 each match ), you're actually engaging in skirmishes near the onset of each match.
And the actual unit combat is superb, the game incorporates environmental cover to battles. See a building with great line of sight over a resource point or choke point? Set up an MG nest there for unit suppression and to fortify the position. Just destroyed an enemy Panzer tank? Use its wreckage as cover as you take a resource point. Actual combat mechanics like flanking and artillery usage work. Love this series. I'd love to see them work on another one. Include Russian and Japanese armies.

I think there is a strong possibility that it will. At worst, it would probably match the current sale.
I was hoping on that but I'm surprised they had a sale so soon.

Why would you pay now the price you could have paid 4 months and a half ago?
At this point, unless you really want to play Skyrim now, you should wait one month and a half more. A 40% or 50% discount would be likely on the first day of the summer sales.
It has already been cheaper and it most certainly will be during the Summer Sale. If you've waited this long there's no reason to buy it now unless you're going to be abroad or something.

I didn't have internet for 2 days. Tried to get offline mode steam running, guess what? It asked me for an internet connection.
What's the use of the offline mode if you can't use it?

My internet dropped out last night and I used offline mode to play fear 3 just fine :\
Didn't even have to pull the ethernet cord out of the back!

What operation were you trying to complete? Would it not even give you an offline login screen? Did you try unplugging your Ethernet cable and/or disabling the wired and wireless network adapters?
Still dumb you need to do that. :|
It's dumb if you need to do it, but as Oreo just pointed out, he didn't need to do it (and I don't think I've needed to do it).
For people like Pepper who MIGHT need to do it, I was just offering suggestions/trying to get more info. I don't know why it's different for some people.

Yeah, I had them disabled. It is not the first time this happens anyway.
I love GOG for DRM free games. Saved me a lot of bullshit.

Yeah sorry man I didn't mean to imply that I doubted you. I've had the same problems in the past, I was just fortunate to not have it happen to me last night.
was that the first time you launched FEAR3 ?
Completed F.3.A.R.
... can't really think of anything to say, it's ok I guess, combat is much tighter and better than fear 2, ai is smarter and the co-op and ranking systems do have a siginificant and VERY important part in the game, I do recommend playing co-op with a friend - if you can find the game cheap.
I guess if I had to rank them:
Fear 1 > Fear expansions > Fear 3 > Fear 2

Where does Avernum Escape From The Pit fit into these?
It's the remake of Avernum 1.

I don't even own any FEAR game lol?
Still baffled they put up 4-6 before 2 and 3.

Ah, finally. Been waiting all day.
Seriously? Can someone look that up? I thought it was only 1 too.

According to the official FAQ it's only the first game.
