Ok, this is the Steam thread, but oh my god Origin.
I left downloading all the night Battlefield 3 and Dead Space 3 just to discover it hanged a few minutes I left the PC with "We're sorry, there's a problem, restart download" message, without trying to go on downloading.
Even from this point of view Steam is miles better...
Oh well. Any news about humle bundle? No more EA games or is there a late chance?

It's tough for me, similar games at the same price with the pre-order discount coming out within a week from each other.

I loved it, but wait for it to go down to $5 or less. It is about the length of Dear Esther.
Has anyone here played Ittle Dew? For some reason the ground graphics, mostly noticeable with grass, has little straight lines here and there. Best way I can explain it would be like if the tiles were badly placed. I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere, so I'm wondering if it's an uncommon issue.

I had a similar issue in another game and deactivating anisotropic filtering through the graphics driver helped.
There's an OT if you're looking for more impressions. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650115&highlight=gone+home

It took me more than 5 days to download Dead Space 3. First I couldn't get it to go faster than 50-70 kBps even after playing with DNS servers and using the firewall to block slow servers, I get 1.7MBps on steam all day. It would also stop every few percent and say the download failed and finally it completely stopped and had to be started again twice!
I have a VPN service. I have used steam with US, EU, ASIA an so on ips with no problem, I've never bought a game using other country's ip than my own.

If it runs like crap on my rig (3570k + 780), then fuck.

It is amazing.
It has godawful load times on pretty much anything, especially if you have a lot of the DLC. A friend of mine does, and it works pretty wonky for him, even though he has a monster rig.

Probably need to install it on an ssd (don't have one yet at the moment
), but I imagine that taking a whole lot of space with some DLC included.Well, I'll give it a try when I get home

He does have it installed on SSD, too.
It's really kind of obnoxious when old-ass games that aren't even sold anymore, like IL-2 Sturmovik 1942, get a random 1.5GB update and they don't bother posting a quick note telling me why I'm downloading all of that data.

Also, why bother putting that there at all if you're just going to offer me one option.

Hit restart mission instead of checkpoint in Blacklist and lost an hour of progress. Don't put the the options right next to each other people!

Me too. I don't understand why these people are complaining at all.

Guys, seriously now. Does Assassin's Creed 2 ever end? I've played for over 19 hours now, and the fucker is still going on!
I remember, a long time ago, when this was a game I was really liking and enjoying a lot, hoping it'd never grow stale. Well, it didn't. It grew rotten instead, way past the expiration date. I want this to end. Now. What at first appeared to be a mild boredom has now grown to become the beginnings of true hate. I don't want to hate this game, and I want to finish it. But it is making it so hard for me to avoid the former and achieve the latter, incredibly hard indeed.
And I haven't touched a single side mission, apart from the optional temples (nice change of pace, even if the platforming feels a little "automatic"). So I can't begin to imagine how long this would take if I wanted to 100% it.
I'm dead serious, if this game lasted 10 hours less it would have been amazing. Right now, I'd rank it a little below "acceptable". Though that may be unfair, because when it was still good, it was good. So yeah, it's not bad at all, but at this point it has become mind-numbingly boring and repetitive and tedious and unbearable. And yet I'm glad I finally got to play it.

You're probably close to being finished, once you hit

that's just the unity launcher
afaik there's no way to turn it off
Dungeons of Dredmor seems to be the most popular roguelike on steam.
The only one I know of is Dungeons of Dredmor.
I've heard bad things about Hack Slash Loot. Good things about Dungeons of Dredmor but haven't played either yet.
Thanks...
Not that it matters much at this point with your insane cookie count but, why did you get so many cursors?
That's easy to answer: Steam has an auto downloader that is so well coded, that even if your PC reboot, suspend, lost connectivity, etc., it will always tried to connect to Steam servers to finish the Job.
However Origin... Let's say it's just the opposite.

But I don't have that problem so why are people bringing it up?
Hack Slash Loot is complete shit. Get Dungeons of Dredmor instead

I platinumed AC2 on PS3, took me between 30-40hrs. It's the best of the series and had a good length imo. If you want it to be 10hrs shorter after playing 19 I wonder if you really liked playing it, because that would be way too short for this kind of game.

Partially for fun, partially because when you use the elder pledge their score boosts to 1.5 the number of cursors you have, which is nothing compared to the higher things, but when you have so much left over you just get stuff. I think I might go 100, 90, 80, 70, etc. and when new things are added the bottom will be 10 or 5 or whatever.
I'm probably never playing idling this again.
I think I'm at chapter 13, which according to some guide I read online (wanted to check how longer did I have left) is close to the end. Which in this game could mean 5 or 6 more hours...
And whose great idea was it to make playing the DLC obligatory, once owned? The last thing I want right now is more missions to play, thank you very much. After checking that guide at around chapter 8, I was really looking forward to
skipping memories 12 and 13 due to the data corruption, only to find out now that they got restored thanks to the DLC and now I had to play both of them.
I think I'd rather try Bad Rats than 100% this game, and I'm not joking. I did like it during the first 10 hours or so, but the second 10 hours are just more of the same, with the occasional
flying machine or carnival attraction
For example, in the part where I'm at now I have to
kill 9 guardians or so. And every time I'm forced to watch the death cutscene and a little scene afterwards showing the citizens running around.

Since the SFM thread is dead I'll post this here.
I'll Make a Mann Out of You from Mulan made in TF2
Really good IMO.

Because you probably have a súper quantum PC.
For real, a lot of people here hate EA Origin, myself included. Terrible client. One example: Some time ago I bought an Amazon bundle for Origin, it included mass effect games and dragón age games. I activated on Origin just to see them wiped out from my account a week later. EA arbitrarily erased them, customer service never gave me a good reason for that action. So that's it, just hate to the Origin Client.

You are having the same experience I had with the game.
Now consider going through that all again...three more times... to get up to date with the series.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is also pretty good.

More than anything what I want from the Sims 4 is proper optimization and management of dlc/expansions. I love the game and have more of the expansions than I'd like to admit but once you have a bunch going it can be a complete crap shoot as to whether or not it'll run well. There have been times where I've played for a few hours, had the seasons change and had a pretty healthy 60 FPS with some drops here and there. Other times I'll play and the entire game will just chug endlessly no matter what.
Supernatural in particular was really bad about that.
