Yes, by me
Now all that's left is WB or Rocksteady removing GFWL from it. And SecuROM too, fuck the activation limit.
at least remove activation limit, i can live with gfwl, but not with securom

Given JaseC's post, you are apparently suffering from Steamnesia.

Like I said, all Panzer Dragoon games should/MUST come to PC. Agreed.
And if by some godly twist of destiny they could get Treasure to port over Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga that would be great. But I guess that's not SEGA's task.
Anyway, mid-week incoming!
edit: There we go!

I spent some time with it a few months back and had an absolute blast with it. I'm eager to dive back in and see what the new update brings.
A friend of mine offloaded a bunch of game codes on me because he couldn't get rid of them elsewhere. I now look at my Steam game list every few months and wonder: "Where did I ge- ... oh right."

I've only watched the video tutorials and messed around briefly with it. If you like space civilization building games, it's worth $25. The combat is a bit wild - I hope they allow us to adjust how the larger ships move.
That is too funny.

Main reason I'm keeping the game uninstalled until I find the time to play it.
Oh yeah...
*shrug*
Just make sure that the game don't auto update.
Right click the game, go to properties, and uncheck, 'keep this game up to date.'
That way you wont be surprised by pointless updates.
Its interesting because I saw Witcher 2, JSR, and Sleeping Dogs all get database updates this morning or last night.
They might be in the process of changing to the new content system or something.
Also, if you have that option unchecked, you'll still be forced to update if you decide to play the game, right? Which means you might be surprised by a few GB of updates when you actually do get around to playing Sleeping Dogs.

Valid point. I think Steam tells you in the library if an update is available though, right? I generally have mine all update automatically so I can't remember right now.

I'm fairly certain you can always decline to update.
Like for GTA IV, the best version for mods is if you roll back from the EFLC patch.
Or if you have a fan made patch for Vampire: Bloodlines or KOTOR.
Steam gives you no option to roll back except maybe in the rare cases of opt-in betas. I would love such an option.
If you install all updates and then manually copy local backups of the files back into place, you MIGHT be able to run old versions without Steam automatically detecting it though. I think some people did that with Skyrim for a bit.
If anyone has proof that you can disable updates for say, Sleeping Dogs, wait 2 months for some DLC and the main game to be updated, and then play the game in singleplayer (not offline mode) without downloading any of the updates, I'd love to hear it. I've been griping about this for like 3 years and as far as I know it's never changed. =P
Well the rollbacks with GTA were implemented through the community.
As I remember, as long as you have 'keep this game up to date' unchecked Steam will not force an update.
And you can play through the game just fine while online.
With Vampire:Bloodlines and GTA IV you have to use outdated or unofficial patches and Steam doesn't force an update.
With KOTOR 1 you have to run the Steam version with a cracked exe to get the wide screen patch to work. Again, without Steam asking for an update.
And you don't have to play offline, check my profile. I have significant time logged for all of these games.
Well except for GTA IV. That game isn't very good in my opinion, especially after playing Sleeping Dogs.
I think I entered the wrong birth date at some point on the Steam web store, and now I can't view M rated game pages, urgh. I logged in, hoping to fix it, but I still get a "Sorry, but you're not permitted to view these materials at this time" message. Has anyone dealt with this?

The real Gothic 4. Good stuff.
I'm not meaning to be a jerk, I just think I may not be expressing myself clearly:
I'm not saying you can't use a modded executable, or even an old version that you saved from the particular Steam game directory. I've done that for Mirror's Edge. As long as it's not a VAC protected game, I don't think there's an issue with that...unless.
UNLESS, the developer updates a new patch, or in the case of Sleeping Dogs, new DLC that causes the main game to need a patch. At that point, as far as I know, running the game will immediately cause one of these situations:
1. You are in offline mode, and cannot play the game at all because Steam flagged it as having an update available the last time you were online.
2. You are in online mode, and the game will immediately pop up the dialog box about patching the game, you can play once it's finished, etc.
Again, correct me if anyone has evidence to the contrary. And yes as mentioned, if you backed up the executable earlier, you can copy it back into place and maybe run the old version of the game.

I'm waiting it to unlock before a possible pre-order
This is part of the problem. We should unlock hats tomorrow or the day after but that gives us less then 2 weeks to get XCOM. I am confident we will get it in that time but things would go faster if people would go ahead and reserve it instead of waiting for other people to take the risk.
I grabbed the Swords and Sorcery key. Thank you for giving them out, PepsimanVsJoe.
Thank you! Only Lone Survivor left. And this is the last time until next Humble Bundle I'll be spamming codes. Please post if you claim one and think about paying it forward with a Humble donation. : )

Could anyone be kind enough to invite me to the Gaf group on steam?
I don't care about giveaways etc, but it'd be nice to have a community on Steam to play with/be part of.
