Ouch. I wonder how bad Jagged Alliance Online is; I have the DLC that makes it downloadable and unlocks the "100 hour single player campaign" but I'm kinda scared to try now.

Beamdog has control of the Baldur's Gate licence again

How do you update the Steam release? If Atari controls that one, I doubt they will forward the update to them.

Crysis 3 is punishment if Crysis 2 is a chore.

I want weed but Port Royale closes instantly after starting.
If anyone else has the same problem (maybe it's a Win8.1 thing): I have to run PortRoyale3.exe in Win98/Me compatiblity mode.
Its sad because Crysis 1 had so much potential.
Is there a way to send steam cash? lol

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Man, I just want the vanilla releases on Steam already. I don't want their enhanced stuff.

The new one? Seriously? It's one of the best lookings games this year, of course it runs worse than the old ones.

I just picked up a copy of baldur's gate 1 and 2 on gog since it's on sale. Might as well mod those instead of picking up the enhanced versions.

Is the enhanced version of Baldur's Gate really that bad? : /
With more interesting enemies and the openness of the first half of Crysis 1 they could've really made something special. Some people will hate me for saying this, but I feel like Halo is Crysis done right, to a certain extent at least. Halo offers a more diverse sandbox, with more interesting enemies with fairly open levels (although not as much as Crysis 1) so you can approach encounters in different ways. Crysis does manage to mix things up with the suit powers, but I honestly feel like going invisible is a bit too powerful and makes the game a breeze for most part.
Run it via Steam Achievement Manager.I want weed but Port Royale closes instantly after starting.
Yep. Best thing to do. Even though BG2 is one of my favorite games of all time, Beamdog's shit doesn't excite me in the least due to what's already available.
It's Hasbro that owns the Baldur's Gate IP in addition to a few other classic franchises via its Wizards of the Coast subsidiary. With Atari knocking on death's door I assume the Enhance Editions from this point forward will either be published through Hasbro (see GOG) or perhaps Beamdog has been given the green light to self-publish.
You need both as BG1 won't run on modern systems (for many, at least) without the mod that converts the content for use in the BG2 engine. Poor form on CDPR's part.
Sure, they're fun as long as you remember their age.
Still, the destructible environments are great and they're fun shooters.

....
I could agree with that.
Halo set out to do what Crysis 1 set out to do originally, except Halo had to deal with the limitations of the Xbox.
Halo definitely had more interesting weapons, enemies, story, and music. I would say the shooting gameplay was better in Halo as well.
I agree, they probably came to some agreement through Hasbro, with throwing them a little money of course.
Hopefully one of the two takes control of the Steam published version and can update that one accordingly, and release BG2:EE.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and all that.
Thanks for the input. I did happen to notice they won't run on newer video cards so I might be out on them. I can't run Armageddon and I may be able to run Guerilla though.
Your library can't be complete until it has Driver: San Francisco as part of it.
Sweet, I will. The client usually fits what I need but the larger the library grows the more unwieldy it gets to manage. The amount of great features you managed to put in Enhanced is pretty great, good work!
The original was a rather novel FPS experience back in its day thanks to the destructible terrain, although I'm not sure how well it's aged. More broadly, people are going to recommend Guerilla, but I'd be wary of how bland and lifeless the world is -- it may be fun to blow up key supports to watch buildings crumble and kill people with an ostrich hammer, but the rest of the game just isn't very good.
Guerilla is GFWL broken patch hell for me, impossible to start the game.
Try 1 anyway, I had no trouble on a recentish amd hd card.

Hey now, Guerrilla has a very varied environment. There's brown, red-brown, green-brown and don't forget grey-brown!

My memory of the first one was digging myself into a giant hole (literally) and quick saving before I realised it.
And my personal favourite: brown-brown.
I remember the game having a test level where you were free to muck around with the destruction component of the engine, and after about an hour or so of just digging around the place I eventually discovered that there's a hard limit to how much destruction you can actually do. I was so disappointed.
and there's brown-brown-brown as well!

Yep. 1 gift copy = 1 lost sale.
Outside of the few exceptions, the policy on extra copies has always been what it is now. Publishers are probably wary that encouraging extra copies would see a dramatic reduction in sales due to the exponential increase in trading/sharing it would allow.

TressFX on? Turn it off. Game is rather beautiful and ran fine on my 560ti448
Yeah, no.
Also, one drawback of being the firs one to die in hammerwatch and the team being out of lives is that you have to wait for the rest of the team to die too... which can take a long time =p
Almost done...
All you need now is a cost per hour number.

Also, sorry if the thread is inundated with these games.

It is off.
I tested everything. Textures change nothing, if I drop shadows to normal and level of detail to medium I get like a 5-8fps boost. Not a great tradeoff when it is running 30-45fps. I really don't think this looks better than Underworld (just a different art style) but the performance is bad in general and inconsistent as it has a lot of drops, likely related to loading the open world. I'm on a 5850 so maybe this is yet another situation where it runs like shit on ATI, which is really disappointing when other Tomb Raider games run like a dream. I mean even the infamous Saints Row 3 ran better and Sleeping Dogs was flawless. This is very disappointing. I'm thinking of just locking it at 30fps to make it consistent but if the jerky drops are from loading that won't help.

Yeah I was thinking about adding that. It gets tricky with formatting and whatnot when you take 5 currencies into consideration.
And should the cost per hour just include the main story? Or completionist time? Thoughts?
I'm thinking about leaving it out (for now) due to too many unknown factors.
To be fair, Underworld's PC port is great and so at max settings it probably does look better than TR 2013 at medium settings.

The game is actually one of the rare cases where AMD cards fare better. Squeenix even screwed Nvidia over by sending it an updated build at the last minute, which rendered much of Nvidia's existing optimisation work useless.
