Please be soon. I have Arkham Asylum and City just sitting in my list from the Summer Sale, waiting to be installed.
I was thinking the same thing. Not an expert on macs though.
Probably gonna wait to make a thread until its released.
What I do with my tour money is my business!
I want to make Planescape Torment and GTA:SA DVD covers today.
If you guys find some high-res images for either, send them my way.
I'm really looking for the standard San Andreas box art, but without writing or logos on it.
No! Listen!

With your money using you will fail just like Greece.

In Borderlands 2's case, the season pass is still on sale potentially indefinitely. This made it pretty dumb to buy the pass unless you wanted to play the DLCs immediately as they came out, because the pass was discounted many times before the final DLC was in released which resulted in it being much cheaper to buy the pass after some of the DLCs were released.
Basically don't buy it until there's actually DLC released that's worth paying for and/or the pass is on sale.

So is the removal of GFWL confirmed? or we are still speculating?

Wouldn't it be amazing of the Mac version of both games was 100% Steamworks only and the Windows versions remained exactly the same???
Eternal speculation.

Totally agree. I bought the season pass day 1 for BL2 and I've only played the normal campaign as all my friends have moved on already. In hindsight I probably would have only bothered with Tiny TIna's and saved 20 bucks.
I know you want minimalist covers, but there's already this:
I know they're technically not Half Life 2 boxes, but... they're pretty good...
I bought it day 1 too but that's only because I managed to get it for $15 due to UK pricing or something.
Thanks. Well then... there's absolutely no point in purchasing it now. I'll wait for BaS to be released or nab the pass during a sale, whatever comes first. I want to give horde mode a try but that can definitely wait.
Not at all, Arkham City and Asylum are already in the mac app store, and the mac versions don't use GFWL, but all it means is Windows version would use it still and OSX version doesn't, same with Bioshock 2

I've seen you doing this for a while, but missed the reasons as to why. Just curious. Most of them look pretty sweet.
Hindsight : it's 20/20
*Spencer walk on stage on GamesCom*
"Im proud to announce that on the release of the Xbox One will also be the last day of the [much hated] Games for WIndows LIVE service"
*Crowd goes crazy and clapps*
"Im also pleased to announce that the Halo trilogy will be released in november on Steam with Steamworks integration. Dedicated servers. Steam workshop, mod support, trading cards, everything the PC gamer loves will be implemented"
*Crowd goes even more crazy, NeoGaf crashes*
"And before I walk off stage, Im also pleased to announce that the Gears of War trilogy, Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology and the Crackdown franchise will also be released on Steam with Steamworks during the next couple of months."
* Crowd explodes, NeoGAF implodes, Scorsese kisses Phil, Xelios runs naked through NYC for happiness and Grief cries*
*Phil walks off stage*
BELIEVE!

Would definitely pull the trigger at that price.
Might as well hope for MS to forfeit all future exclusives and aim/push publishers for simultaneous Steam releases of all XBONE games.
So Mac would have the definitive version then. Mac owners are always the butt of jokes, but now they are the 'master race.'
I was going to say eternal speculation as well.
Looks like they are just reducing their profit margin rather than a full-blown discounted item.
I already found the perfect image for a minimalistic HL2 cover.
I need ideas for HL1 though.

Just found out about the Bioshock Infinite DLCs. The first one I don't get. The combat in BioInf was though not bad the weakest part, IMO. So to base a whole DLC around just combat is Pinnacle Station all over again.
Anyway, the Burial at Sea two part DLC looks phenomenal. I didn't even know that I wanted this, but I do now. Give it to me. Hope the Season Pass gets a good discount before the DLC hits (or I will have to ask some fellow Brazilian gaf fellow to help me out).

I just have all of my games from classic consoles on a shelf, but my favorites from PC are not represented.
Kind of lame to have my favorite platform hidden away.
But, mostly, I am really enjoying making these covers for some reason.
I have a feeling that the "horde mode" DLC was pumped out quickly in attempt to assuage the many loud, cranky voices that were complaining about there being no DLC in sight despite it being months since the Season Pass went on sale. You'll notice that there's no release date attached to the story DLC.
The irony is killing me. Can't please everyone on the internet I guess.
But at least I'll have my games -- that I don't intend to play -- to comfort me.
Never change.
//Edit:
Semi serious question - anything in the Steam licence about account inheritance? What if I want to pass on my (unplayed as well) games to my offspring?
//Edit 2:
Also, can anyone confirm whether this: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-DSF/driver-san-francisco is Steam or uPlay? Guessing the latter, but I'd really like to have the game at this price.

It sounds like the 'vocal minority' from the reception of the game went with "The combat is causing a disconnect from the story!!!". So instead of tweaking the combat, they just through out the story for this DLC, which no one asked for.
Threads like this make me really happy I have left consoles behind http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=638948
$40 for a year of P2P internet? We could get 10 games out of that during a Steam sale.
I would assume that transitions over to Xbox One, but then you are at least $600 in the hole. Equivalent to a decade of PC games.

Another 10 new achievements for Super House of Dead Ninjas.
New playable character, new difficulty mode, boss rush etc.
Not live yet.
Unlikely, given the time-frame. DLC for most games has been stuff like this and MP maps/guns etc. I'm glad we are getting actual single-player story content.
Uh, no, more likely because like multiplayer maps/guns and the usual stuff you see for DLC, it's something that's relatively cheap to make. Single player story content requires a ton more resources.

Officially, it's against the SSA to transfer ownership of your account in any way:
But practically speaking it'd just be a matter of changing the e-mail address to an easily-accessible account (if need be) and providing the password.

It's Uplay.

It's butt-ugly (look at the screenshot section on Steam, hilarious) and full of bugs. Day 1 patch is incoming but no way they'll fix everything. Nobody should buy the game right now, play the two Drakensangs instead.
We don't know when development on the combat DLC began, though.

Most of the text is still in die Deutschen. lol
Taken from RPGCodex:
Problems with the gold version according to various German forums:
- no intro
- no battle sounds
- all weapon models looks like crossbows
- most NPCs look like skeletons
- trying to cast a spell gives the message "spell not implemented"
- snow textures are broken
- walking sounds are placeholders/unbearable to listen to
The release day patch was pushed out early on Saturday at 10 p.m. local time (at least they're dedicated!), but it doesn't fix most of these issues - only weapon models and walking sounds have been completely fixed. The game is still unplayable and crashes frequently with messages like this:
Failed executing javascript(Syntax Error: Mismatched closing token in expression):
function hasresponse(which){return(which==1)||getQuestState("schick_call')==2
Further current issues:
--button hotspots aren't centered on the actual buttons
- map turns black indoors, stays black when going outdoors (workaround available)
- Many NPCs have holes in their heads
- only one save game slot with fixed name
- save game (singular) randomly deletes itself
- heroes in-game don't look like they do in the editor
- you start with infinite money, which randomly resets to normal during gameplay
- random events and random battle on the overland map don't seem to work
- hard crash trying to enter Daspota
We as a society need to find a proper way to both protect our privacies (don't want our relatives knowing all the sexually disturbing things we all do on our emails, for instance) and institute a kill switch to easily retrieve access to all our digital paraphernalia upon sudden death.
Seems like it needed twice the time in the proverbial oven.
It was essential $10 on GMG so I got it anyway. Hopefully they do something like Eador did, that game was near broken at launch but now it's arguable one of the best fantasy strategy games available.
That's good to hear. I pre-purchased the game as it was the only way to obtain a Steam version of Genesis, but in the lead-up to release I watched a bunch of gameplay videos and particularly adored the visual style, so I'll play it one day.
