Titanfall is a Source Engine game, right? There is no chance of it coming to Origin and not to Steam. Is there any other Source game, where that's the case?

Shank co-op any good?
Finished the SP in ~2Hrs, pretty fun.
You know how a kick in the nuts feels? (I don't, but that's beside the point.) It's exactly like that, but worse. So not really exactly. But worse indeed.Yes but:
I have a Steam account and love it but I do not have a GFWL account. I hear so much complaining about it though. What's the issue with it?
£6.79 is sorely tempting!
Cool thanks, I'll give it a shot.I had a good time with my buddy. It's not perfect but its worth playing.

This is a really, really cool youtube showing a turn of playing dragon commander:

It's long, but it is clear that there is a whole lot more going on than just a basic RTS game with a commander dragon unit you can control, something that may not be very clear from the screenshots of the game. Looks very neat.

Now to get level 2, I need to wait to receive a booster pack ? How long is it before receiving one?
I've not gotten one since this started... but maybe you are luckier.
Ok... so people are buying the cards instead of waiting to receive a booster pack.
and how they make money out of it..?
Hm, I see.
Some people would pay good money to be kicked in the nuts you know?
I am not one of them :/.
Incidentally, my partner tells me that post war [WWII] when everyone was convinced that it was only a matter of time before the next war and they all had to be trained to fight, they were told to kick prone combatants in the nuts in the field of war to see if they were dead or not. The thinking being that with bullets flying around it was the quickest way to tell if they were dead or alive and thus worth getting shot at to save. Fair enough. My neighbour is training to be a nurse and is having her exam today on what to do if she encounters a prone body like that. I was tempted to give her this tip but I don't think the examiner would consider that correct protocol. Shame.
Seriously though, what exactly is the issue with GFWL, apart from the kicking in the nuts business.
EDIT - oh and it's as unpleasant an experience as you might imagine, by the way.
Aren't GFWL games activatable in Steam?
I do know how that feels, with a tennis ball atleast.You know how a kick in the nuts feels? (I don't, but that's beside the point.) It's exactly like that, but worse. So not really exactly. But worse indeed.
I'm not old enough for those experiences, thank goodness.Once upon the time Norton was so bad it literally killed PCs. Now it's one, if not the best av software available and I recommend it to everyone who asks but old people like me still remember the dark times.
GFWL is bad (and I'll give some reasons in a minute) but it isn't worth skipping Dark Souls over. There's good reason why we're cheering its death.

1) It's a dead service. It hasn't received an update in years.
2) It's matchmaking is pretty much mostly broken.
3) Issues abound with saves, regardless of game. (Make sure to enable the back-up feature in the Durante mod).
4) As Stump can attest, it may be incompatible with your home networking setup (this is a rare issue, but one that's been diagnosed, repeated, and ignored for years).
These issues shouldn't stop you from grabbing Dark Souls (realistically, the only issue you may encounter is with the matchmaking, but it should still work eventually).

omg mse tested bad that one time you should have switched i mean how computer illiterate are youI use MSE, I didn't know norton changed so much, still will never use, ever.
I feel old.
Thank you morningbus. It does indeed sound like being kicked in the nuts! :/ Let's hope the rumours that it is being retired are true.
However, from what you've said there shouldn't be any reason for me not to pick up Dark Souls, especially at that price, so thanks for the encouragement.

No problem! Make sure you use Durante's mod with the game. It's a must. (Also ignore the warning about the 60fps unlocker potentially leading to a GFWL ban - it's never happened and would require non-existent people to be at a surely-empty office actively looking for people who've unlocked the framerate)
To help clear up any confusion: the game uses GFWL, but all its keys activate on Steam. Key activation is the only part of Steamworks the game uses.

It actually has cloud save built into the registry app, but they never got it implemented correctly.

Dark Souls is worth experiencing, even with GFWL.
The next game is looking to be pure Steamworks, no GFWL in sight.
As dead as my Flatout UC save game progress when the XBL/GFWL servers went down a few months ago. If only if were possible for me to pretend like it doesn't exist.Don't see why people are still worried about gfwl, no one will use it anymore,it's dead.

We still worry about it because good games are still trapped in a prison fashioned out of shit.
If anything, we are now even more worried because that shit and turd-mortar prison is collapsing and its inmates are still inside.
I just tried to imagine that for real. Made me laugh, so thanks for that.
I can't wait for the sale. I finally need to get Bioshock.
Weird. I'm kind of glad they didn't implement it, though. If GFWL's saves mess up, Steam Cloud can exacerbate the problem by syncing an empty file with the cloud (like it did for me for Arkham City).

FUCK YES. I've been looking for a good sale on this for about a month. Thank you so much just grabbed it and DSfix.
Someone should let Durante know his Download link on the DSfix blog is broken.
The current DSfix is always available here, too: http://darksouls.nexusmods.com/mods/19/?

Good time to get the whole series with System Shock 2 now available and BioShock 2 getting cleaned up.
May I ask what you mean by that Mr .exe?

Now I'm having a hard time determining if GFWL is better or worse than Serious Sam.
What if Serious Sam had GFWL??
Is that the 4x game that was developed by one guy?StarDrive is the daily deal, 50% off. http://store.steampowered.com/app/220660/
Grief has been watching the Bioshock 2 entry of the Steam registry and has noticed it is being updated. It also recently got Steam achievements which are not yet active.
Everything else is an assumption that GFWL is being removed and Steam is being subbed in. It's a good assumption, but there hasn't been anything officially announced yet.
GFWL off?
