Apparently they all have names and back stories, but only Stumpokapow knows about any of it.
Yes there is, it's being developed by Firaxis for consoles+PC and seems all kinds of awesome. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZI1gWjmaa0
And by the way, the other X-COM is a FPS, not a TPS. You need to get your facts straight!

1) Do you not even bother to read the letters section during the Summer / Winter sales? :O

Why is the only game he has ever played America's Army for an hour?
"I like ponies, avatars, and cookies! Cyl says im "bizzare" but he doesn't understand. I'm just like everyone else only 10 times happier. I LOVE YOU ALL!"
And then in Friend List, Last Online: more than 1 year ago
Valve giving away the recipe to happiness right there.

Speaking of TF2, I wonder if there's a place that let's me look up a good person to trade items live for games?
Does steampowered.com work in a web browser instead of the client for you?

If you can send money through paypal, and you are willing to pay the paypal tax, I will buy it for you and send it to you.
I wish I could offer to buy it for you tomorrow just before the sale ends but I will be working around that time. I'm sure someone else would be willing to help you though.

Thanks. I don't mind losing some baggage for some games.
Can't use paypal, but thanks for the offer, I'm sure I will be able to buy it by tomorrow

I'm glad I bought Wolfenstein when I did.

let us know if you still need help then
Wonder if Activision's right to sell it expired or something. I think the ip still belongs to id/Bethesda.

I play borderlands almost every Friday night with some friends. We haven't had any issues so far.

Still bad, but bad in the way you can work around. It's mostly just front end and config issues, not actual latency or connectivity problems.
Joe Molotov

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe the rights are shifting back to id/Bethesda, and it's only temporarily down while they renegotiate with Steam. Would explain why it went on sale for like the first time ever a few weeks ago; Activision wanted to squeeze a little extra juice out of it.
Either way, I'm glad I picked it up when it was on sale.

Man, I'm glad I bought Wolfenstein back then. It would have joined Crysis 2 and Outrun in the short but regrettable list of games that I can't buy anymore. It took me a long time to find a retail copy of Prey last year.
I still wish I would of bought The Movies and The Godfather games on Steam when they were available.

Anybody happen to know how intrusive GFWL is in Lost Planet: Colonies Edition if I ignore the multiplayer?

Lost Planets 1 is a fine game if it suits your taste as a good single player experience.
It's Lost Planet 2 that has a huge co-op focus and I would only recommend as a co-op game.

I'm familiar with Lost Planet since I've already almost finished it once. I'm asking how bad the Games for Windows Live DRM is. Does it delete savegames or keep you from playing because of internet/server issues... stuff like that.
Stronghammer22
Member
It's the same as 99% of the other GFWL games. You log in and that's it. Your saves won't be deleted and the servers are fine. If they weren't, you could just use offline mode since you're only going to be playing single player.

If it's the same as 99% of the other GFWL games then the servers are absolutely not fine and my saves might be deleted like they've been for Red Faction: Guerilla, Arkham Asylum and Dawn of War 2. Fallout 3 is the only game I own where you can ignore GFWL. I'd rather avoid it altogether if I have to login to access my save.
Stronghammer22

Yes, you need to login to save. Saves are tied to your account, they are also encrypted so you cannot share them with others. This is to maintain the integrity of achievements. You probably don't care about achievements, but it is what it is. When you say the servers aren't fine, do you mean they drop connection or something? I'm in Australia where our internet is absolutely terrible for the most part and I never have issues when connected to Live. I've put in some marathon sessions too, 10 hours or so.
At the end of the day though, if you've had such problems with GFWL it's probably not the best idea to go out and buy another game that uses it.
Glass Rebel
Member
Yeah, that's what I was asking about. It generally works but it happened several times with Dawn of War and Red Faction that I couldn't log-in due to server issues. Fallout 3 luckily doesn't have this bullshit at all.
I don't avoid them altogether, I just buy stuff at a way lower price but I'm so sick and tired of the system that I'd rather buy the non-Colonies Edition.

RE: Wolfenstein
I would guess this is Activision's publishing rights lapsing. If that's the case, Bethesda would put the game back up at some point in the future. They pulled DOOM 1 off XBLA when Bethesda bought iD and put it back up a year later.

Anyone played this? Doesn't look too hot in the screenshots.

Think I'm going to pick it up. Thanks.
Noticed this title yesterday when going through 3D screenshots/videos of games. With 3D vision, it looks like a demented little toy world come to life.
EDIT: Pass. That Destructoid quote on the game page seems misleading. If you click on it, it takes you to the Steam storefront. And if you read Destructiod's review, they mention brilliantly nowhere in the review. And worst of all, it's an arena shooter. I just thought it was top down. Arena shooter = pass. Although I will play the demo for a quick 3D fix.
Just played the demo. The real Destructoid quotes are much more apt. Boring. And the 3D is below average. So not even that could redeem it.

Almost missed Rayman being on sale. The demo made it a no-brainer to buy.

Give me a Driver San Fran sale, and Hawx 2 sale, and I'll be happy.

Wait for summer sale. At least that's what I'm doing.
