Never got the hate for the vehicle sections in HL2. They really feel like a huge journey, and they're varied enough in their combat encounters, escape sequences, and puzzles to keep me entertained. Not to mention the superb atmosphere and art design. Controls could be tighter, but they work just fine. after just a couple minutes in the first open area.

I never understood the complaints about the vehicle sections either. I think people just went from point A to point B and never soaked in the atmosphere that both areas (canals and coastline) were soaked in with all the different stops you can make and pieces of world you can explore if you please.
Anno 1404 was removed from Steam because the Steam version is out of date and contains a potentially game-breaking bug that was fixed in the retail/Uplay versions -- a patch Ubi, for some ridiculous reason, refuses to offer Valve. Suffice it to say that Ubi buying RD outright is unlikely to change anything.
Edit: And Anno 1404 isn't the only example of Ubi stopping post-release support for the Steam versions of its games. IIRC, Driver: SF is out of date, too.

I'm almost certain that Driver SF on Steam was updated to match the retail version.
Time to move to Australia.
and time to dip back into the zone
I don't get it. Are you the one who posted the 3.4GB update for CoP yesterday? I didn't get that either. Has there been some kind of update released? I logged in yesterday and didn't see any activity on that.

That's a pretty good bundle if you don't already own most of those games.
Like me
I have Generations with DLC and Sonic DX. I would want to pay like 10 for all them. I'm being cheap.
That is terrible. Makes me not want to support them.
Although Driver SF works great for me unless it's something that affects me later in the game.
Pretty sure it gave me cancer. Or heartburn.

Derrick pls, I'm sorry I tried
Nah I just started playing CoP yesterday, no reason other than its on my backlog and I want to play it.
Hey guys, I have a problem with dark souls: It won't start.
It just hangs there in a window and does nothing thereafter. No idea if it's GFWL, a dual screen Setup problem, or something completly different. Isn't on my PC though, I convinced a friend to get the game and now it won't even start.
edit: doesn't seem to be 2 screen related, I just took one off, same problem. I shows the steam overlay information and then freezes while only showing the key.

Okay, I tried out what you guys said and it seemed to work, but I'll be making backups just in case.
Thanks guys
Are you running Durante's resolution fix?
I can't comprehend how such thing could happen. The game lets you proceed however you want. If you're not having fun, then change your playstyle! You're not forced to be stealthy, so there's no need to play that way.
That's precisely why I liked it so much. The game doesn't hold your hand, but it avoids being frustrating and gives you a lot of freedom to experiment. Not having a magical map, and as a result getting lost in the big (and sometimes confusing, but always well designed) levels, really enhanced the experience.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I was having a similar problem and, oddly enough, unplugging my controller allowed it to boot. Once I got into the game I could plug it back in.
I reinstalled my driver and it stopped giving me trouble after that.
This is a man who knows where his towel is. The vehicle sections aren't bad.
Tried without first and after that tried to skip the intro with durante. Didn't help... much. The game adjusted to screen size and froze after that.
Mh, there is an odd USB error plopping up, but a controller is not plugged in.

Try unplugging any unnecessary USB devices. I remember in Fallout 3 I wasn't able to bring up the developer's console (basically a necessity in that game) because I had a USB media center remote plugged in. Crazy.

Is A.R.E.S. one of the most boring and stupidly designed games on Steam? It probably is.

You can always adjust on the fly and shoot/stab/KO someone if you have to. Some people don't like having to F5/F9 their way through the game (especially the first time around) so do whatever you feel like. There are a ton of tools and gadgets to use in Splinter Cell which I think a lot of people seem to forget exist. Ghost runs are usually reserved for a second playthrough when you have a good grasp of the level setup and everything, or if you feel particularly up to the task.
Unless you encounter one of those stealth purists and they call you a race traitor or something for not playing full ghost.

I tried to just push through but I'm pretty sure half the controls weren't working with my 360 pad.
edit: Oh man, do I have to hold down both sticks to change suits? lol. I guess that's what I get for trying to use a year old save.

The default settings don't allow you to jump and shoot at the same time. I am not exactly sure what they were thinking. No big loss though, back to Anodyne.
I gave it a fair shot, but conveyer belt section just killed it for me. It was also a somewhat buggy game when I played it a year ago (managed to get myself stuck).
Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm just not that into that whole carrot-on-stick thing these days. Maybe I'll just give Path of Exile another try though.
I'm guessing the game didn't do too well considering the Steam page mentions it's the first chapter in an episodic adventure and it's been well over two years since its initial release.

Fixed. Oh how I would love to see 1404 come back to Steam.

It looks like they spent this time updating the game for XBLA. http://indiegames.com/2013/03/ares_extinction_agenda_ex_fina.html
Add it to your wishlist while it's still time.
And then win one of the "the top 10 games on your wishlist" xmas promotions.
Then Valve will have to give it to you.
Thats what I did with Sega Rally Revo. I'm still working on the "win the xmas contest" part.
Well, at least they're in the position that the sequel can be planned! I'm assuming this:
...is just the typical kowtowing-to-the-XBLA-exclusivity-period non-commitment.

- this is the daily.
So fucking tempting just to be able to boot that up and experience it every once and a while.
- this is the daily.
I was hoping the fact I didn't recognise it would mean I didn't own it.
- this is the daily.
lol, was just about to come here and post this even though I've never played it
Video version

And it's cheaper on Gamefly.
Edit: don't forget to use the 20% off coupon GFDAPR20.
Actually F1 2011 is much better than F1 2012. The last game was incredibly buggy and shitty overall.
Really? Whats the major difference?
