I'm trying to hold off, but it's only a matter of time until I give in. Between SimCity, Trials, and Resident Evil 6 I should be set for March...I'll just have to try and pretend that Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite don't exist.

I'm trying to hold off, but it's only a matter of time until I give in. Between SimCity, Trials, and Resident Evil 6 I should be set for March...I'll just have to try and pretend that Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite don't exist.
Luckily I have no interest in RE6 & Tomb Raider ...... but I forgot Bioshock is coming this month .... fuck ....
P.S Don't view the smooth trailer on the store page. You won't realize it then but you've already bought it by then :/
Aaaaaaaaaand Bioshock is bought. No more pre-orders for me!
The Trials beta ran like shit on my PC. It crashed to desktop every 5 or 10 minutes. It may be old, but if it can deal with Hitman Absolution and Max Payne 3 in a satisfactory way, I can't see why it should struggle with Trials.
I won't buy it even on a 90% off sale, however much I enjoyed the few moments when I could actually play it. Not getting a response after posting about the crashes in the beta forum only helped to seal the no-deal.

Someone else mentioned performance issues with the beta in a different thread. Troubling, since it would be very sad to see this port handled poorly. I'll find out for myself soon enough since I ended up preordering a moment ago.
The official forums aren't a very good source of info, but I see a few posts mentioning performance related issues. Others claim everything is "fine" but you never know.

Are there any good online co-op beat em ups on Steam? I wish that SoR remake wasn't hammered by SEGA, if they got that up and running with online co-op, it would have been awesome.
Admit it .. the video swayed you!
Will only check it out tomorrow. So hopefully I won't come bringing bad news :<

It seems that anybody saw my problem, here's again.
I went to the Steam Store Web Page, I logged in, I was asked for the code (Steam Guard Enabled), I checked the "Remember Me on this Computer" box, but after that, every time I close and launch Firefox, I need to log in again, I tried with Internet Explorer 9 and it's the same, I'm not using CCleaner (it's a Windows 7 clean installation). Does anyone is having this issue?

Tony said about a week ago that he is just waiting on Steam keys from Rhode Island.
Good catch

If anyone didn't catch this the other day. Peter Bartholow (Lead designer of Skullgirls) has confirmed that he's working on Big Band TF2 items
and possibly items for DOTA 2 as well.
So if you want to hop on the $30 tier of Skullgirls Drive, better get on quick! (supplies limited!)

Could someone help me get a lower priced Trials pre-order? $25 in Australia instead of $20 (fuck Ubisoft).

Will be on after work in about 10 hours or so. I can Paypal straight away or have some Steam Wallet Money if you'd like the equivalent in games.

That is a fantastic idea. Mark of the Ninja is 10,000 times better then Future Soldier.

Don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but AoE 2 might be getting a Steam release.

The Ubi DRM is bad, but it's not that bad.

Some quick comparison shots:
Also I have a steam key for Delve Deeper up for grabs.
Send a PM to get it.
EDIT: Whoops! I also have a steam key for Guns of Icarus Online.
You can get your hands on that game, if you send me a PM.

Let's not get silly. It's at least 20,000.
In all seriousness, everybody needs Mark of the Ninja.
Is Microsoft planning a huge bombardment on Steam?
Thanks for this.Yea son, free Dead Island
Well GFWL is effectively dead.
The last major publisher has dropped the service almost entirely, Capcom.
The last 3 Microsoft Published games on PC have been Steamworks.
Halo 1-3, Fez, AoE2, and Dust all rumored/confirmed to be coming to Steam.
Lets do this.

And then have steam running on the 720 just to really blow things wide open.

A friend got me this shortly after I inquired what the hell kind of game he was playing because the name was eye catching. I played a bit but I'm holding out for that controller patch. Outside of the keyboard-only input I really liked what I played of it so far.
Add Ms. Splosion Man to that and quite possibly Lococycle. It seems like we have some interesting times ahead of us.

Yep, that game is really fun, but is hard to play with a keyboard...
It's also a little bit annoying that it's still a flash game.
Freaking UBI I swear to god...
Why in the world do I need to enable Vista SP2 compatibility mode to play R.U.S.E., a game that came out in 2010, on a Windows 7 PC? Ugh and now it's asking me for an Ubi account login to continue...like I actually log into my Ubi account often enough to remember what my username and password are?

Ubisoft doesn't believe you're a real gamer unless you're willing to suffer for it.

Anyone eligible for this with a key they don't need?
Also, hell yes bring on a Steamworks enabled AoE2. TOL! DUN'KAT! TOL PRLAGE!
Are you using sweetfx with TLR? Gives a dramatic bump to the game's visuals.
I tried it briefly. It's world of tanks with spaceships. The combat isn't very interesting since the ship guns have a 360 degree of rotation so there is no dogfighting, you just circle each other holding LMB till someone dies.
Dang, it's great having Trials HD on PC. But the performance is pretty bad, especially in the Evolution stages. It was 60fps at times but often dropped half that and even around 15fps at the lowest. It should run maxed 60fps on anything.
Also, uPlay sucks.
Also, have the Trials HD tracks been remade with the Evolution engine? Because they don't feel the same.

How on earth do you fuck up a Trials port? It seems like it would be so easy to do.

Is Trials solid if you run in 720p like the 360 version?
