Is Dead Rising OTR multiplayer buggy at all? I wanna play it with a friend but i don't wanna go through a crashfest again like in Dead Island.

Dead Rising 2 owns. Especially in co-op. I need to dig into OTR one of these days. Frank's dumb face annoys me, though.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity is no longer the daily deal. GabeN altered the deal. Pray he doesn't alter it any further.

The GabeN, omnipresent, omniscient, omnivorous!

Pity the Dead Rising games are region locked on Steam for me... =( I got one of them off GMG earlier though. It would've been nice to have the first one too for the sake of completion.

Ah, well. Still waiting for a deal on Lost Planet.

I liked the original DR and don't know much about DR2, but after reading on it a bit I decided to go OTR only and ignore the DLC.

Some new community features are happening with the beta.
Today we’re adding three new Community features to the Steam Client Beta; a new Community Home page, the addition of Artwork to hubs, and changes to the main Steam navigation menu. You can help us out by testing them and providing your feedback.

The new Community Home removes the extra step of selecting a hub to view and puts the best content across all game and software hubs in front of you on the front page. No more seeing an interesting image and then having to find it in the hub to learn more about it—now it’s just endless scrolling of the best rated news, screenshots, videos, discussions, ….and artwork.

Speaking of artwork, we’ve added a new tab to all Valve game hubs where anyone can share the game-related art they’ve created. This addition is based on feedback from the community on the need to share more types of images than just screenshots. There’s a ton of great game-related art being created by Steam users that we think has a rightful place on the hubs. We’re going to test this out with our own games first, then expand it out for other games in the future. To get things started we’ve seeded the Valve hubs with some concept and character art. Hope you enjoy it!

The third change is a new drop down navigation in the main Steam nav. With the Community features we’ve added over the last year the Community navigation has become lengthy. We’ve broken out all the links that relate to You from links that relate to the larger Steam Community, improving clarity and giving us more space (enough to bring Groups back!)

These changes are viewable on the web now and will be in the client shortly.

Thanks for your help and your bug reports!

Awesome, OTR bought. I havent had any problems with GFWL...yet...aside from a save file scare, but that was because I wasnt signed in. Hopefully there wont be any co-op problems.

Well for what it's worth I played through the entirety of Vanilla DR2 in coop with a friend of mine and we didn't experience any issues at all. I can't imagine they changed the network code for OTR.

I did as well.

Wasn't all of the DR2 DLC cosmetics, and pointless?

anyone else have a problem with Steam not remembering your login lately?

whenever it installs an update or I restart I'm forced to type in my username and password even though I tell it to remember my password :(

It's been like for a better part of a year now for me. I just assumed it was SteamGuard related.
