Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Lol. Functioning matchmaking as "dlc."
Warner Bros does it again.
Warner Bros does it again.
I would've laughed more if they tried to charge for it.
And that's why it was crossed off my list (despite digging the premise and loving Monolith). Nothing appears fixed from the beta and LIVE makes patches a PITA. March? Really? It's going to be so dead by then.
This whole premise is stupid. If they have so much DLC, why didn't they F2P this game. What a squandered opportunity. No body is going to pay 15 bucks (or almost nobody). Game is so DOA. And their precious DLC? They'll be no customer base to buy anything.

At least if they had gone Steamworks, Valve would have been more than happy to give them a free weekend when the update comes out to try to spur interest. But no, keep sucking on the dry, withered GFWL teat, WB.
Looks like the DLC apart from the Premium Card Packs is unlockable in the game anyway, so I personally don't have that much of a problem with it. They could've been a bit more generous with the pricing though. Nobody (sane) will pay that much for an avatar in a new game like this.
I'll check back on the game in March then, I guess. What a shame.
So getting a patch through is harder when it's on GFWL?

So, what's exactly the reason that pubs like WB and Capcom are sticking with the garbage wasteland of a service that is GFWL when everyone with a semi functioning brain has gone to somewhere else ?
Is MS just straight up paying for them to publish their games there just to have a small shred or relevancy in a market where they tried to "reclaim" but failed miserably ?

There's certification (not sure how it works on PC, or if it's much faster than XBOX) and you're limited to two patches before MS starts charging.
The second bit is the killer. Because publishers never want to pay and deliberately hold off and try and make those two patches count (since they ain't paying for a third).
Probably makes ports cheaper if they can just port it from 360 with almost no changes.
There were more people playing Mass Effect 1 and The Binding of Isaac than this yesterday that I checked. It's already dead.
How did they launch with 30 dls worth of DLC anyway, but not functioning matchmaking... That shit is outright disgusting.

And copied by Zynga.
But what about us plebs that use ATI cards? Are they playing nice yet?
Supposedly, yes. It only took AMD, what, 5-6 weeks to get its drivers in order? *golf clap*

Plays nice with mine.

listen to the mad man
So, Rage is $14.99 and a friend offered me a 33% coupon, which would be 9.89.
... on the other hand, it'll probably be 7.50 or less during summer and I'm not likely to get to it :/

15 dollars!? It's 25 Euros here! That ain't right, son!
At this point I'm convinced that OpenGL ran over AMD's prize-winning cat.
I would. It's a polarizing game, but I think it's a great pickup for that price.

$1 = £1 = 1.7, apparently

I thought the game was fun enough for the $15 I paid and I am not a big shooter guy. I hated all the racing stuff but the shooting felt good.

When I bought the game back in October, my rig had a HD4850, and I couldn't play it until I changed my card (now I have a 6850). Iirc, a lot of cards from a few different series could still have some troubles: anyone with an "old" card interested in buying it should be careful.

Hot Damn what a deal!
No...no...no...like i said before, is good but boring, slooooow start, is just soulless, a meh 6/10 game...and the graphics SUCKs! but for 10 usd i buy it and trade it XO

I sort of agree with you. But it definitely has a je ne sais que feel to it. It just... Feels good.
But yeah boring through a lot of the beginning.
Thanks, just bought 2 copies of PVZ GOTY. (also thanks to Xelios, who helped me out)
The last two levels was great!(like 2 hrs) but is the only fun part of the game.. they may have been a standard of gameplay for the rest of the game
Had a huge of potential... is a shame...id Software need to know that we are in 20XX, or play Half Life to learn a new generation

So last night I was checking something in the store and it asked for my birth date... Forgetting that the date wasn't saved as I have upgraded my PC I must have hit the default which now makes it so I can't open the store page for any M rated game. Anyway to reset this in the client?

Restarting the Steam client should do it for you.

Thought I had tried that but I didn't fully exit. Thanks that worked perfectly.
