Oh, bugger, after BioInf reached its end goal I completely forgot I was keeping an eye on Defiance's progress bar. Well, what I can say is that as of the 18th it was at 29% of Reward 1, an increase of 25% over 11 days, and now, ~12 days thereafter, all the tiers have unlocked. Not bad for a game that only recently cracked the Top 10...

What separates it from the hundreds of other MMOs? Besides the price tag that is.
$9.37 over here for the complete pack. Rockstar loves us southerns.

Still seeking someone to help me get Fuel from GMG. I will Paypal and can throw in some Steam codes, if wanted 
Guys, I need help deciding what game to play next. I crossed out multiplayer games, and games I've beaten but still want to get through some of the dlc.
I need a PC game to play with my handheld games.
Out of those, I would play Deus Ex first.

If you can stomach the monotonous combat, Alan Wake is an enjoyable romp -- not to mention it looks fantastic on the PC (it's sub-HD on the X360).

I just finished XCOM and that shit is tight. But the whole list is pretty fucking solid. Close your eyes and click.

The Walking Dead or Spec Ops.

and feel bad afterwards
EDIT: fucking beaten. 28 Posts Later, you have a damn good taste.
Really SteamGAF? No one suggesting Dark Souls? I am disappoint.
So glad I disabled all screenshots on the steam activity tab.

Does it have epic narrative twists like Spec Ops and TWD???
I mean if he wants a really refined list it's:
-Dark Souls
-FO: New Vegas
-XCOM
-DX: Human Revolutions
-Super Meat Boy
Dark Souls is more of something you need to take your time with versus beat and delete.
I'm trying to make him play a good game, yo.
Nice choices, I would have added Sleeping Dogs, but that's probably because I'm a sucker for Wei Shen motherfucker!
True enough, but he never specified the kind of entertainment he was looking for
Eeeeek!

Does it feel like a good game yet?

Spent 13 years of my life learning our language, still can't put a sentence together but I can pronounce those nonsense names at least!
Turned based combat or no combat at all would have been preferable.
It's basically a third person shooter with MMO trappings rather than a game that relies on the style of MMO combat I don't like. I really enjoyed the beta and that's as someone who really doesn't like MMOs very much despite trying a good few. It's good fun to get into a ruckus with a lot of enemies and have lots of people join in since it's a persistent world.
The quests so far are still the same style of MMO 'kill this' 'protect that' 'destroy these 3 towers' etc so from what I've seen so far you won't be getting any deep questlines but it was the beta and I can't say for sure how the full game will play out. It's mainly the core gamplay I find very enjoyable. It won't be giving the best third person shooters out there any trouble but the beta grew on me the more I played it getting better/more unique weapons. Hell I got more time out of the beta (6 - 7 hours) than I did out of other shooters before deciding to leave it and wait for full retail.
I'm not sure it'll change anyones mind who doesn't like the structure of MMOs, from what I've seen of it, but I had fun just shooting shit in PvE and PvP and look forward to running about a big world.
Here's a 'beginners guide' should you fancy taking a look. I'm personally not playing it to be super serious or anything, just to rake around in and have a bit of fun

And like that, any interest vanishes.

The nasty combat is the thing that prevented me from further playing it. Like you said, everything else is awesome, atmosphere, puzzles, setting. But combat really sours things up for me.
Ya. I want the game, but they really don't deserve my money.
There is evidence they might be removing GFWL from Arkham Asylum, or, at the very least, adding Steamworks.
AA achievements popped up in the database.
Mortal Kombat is looking to be Steamworks.
GFWL is unofficially dead.
We can dream.
That's understandable. It would be no worse than say Borderlands 1/2s quests but if you found those games uninteresting for example I doubt you'd find Defiance any better.

At least you guys get to even buy Arkham City. Not even available in my region. No thanks to GFWL, no doubt.
Yup, same here. I'll wait for a deal from Amazon or GMG, hopefully the latter repeats the $5 sale for it.

I am not buying an mmo.

Is there precedence for this? Have any other titles had the GFWL requirement removed in the past?

It happened with their F2P title Gotham City Impostors. That's all I can think of.
You can buy it on GMG whenever its on sale again, thats what I did.

Toy Soldiers, but that was a little different as they didn't straight up rip gfwl out but give steamworks as an alternative.

The game is too popular and ran out of keys. Give 'em a bit to add more.
I wonder why I never finished GTAIV...
Warning: This title uses 3rd party DRM (Games for Windows Live)

Oh yeah.
I never finished it because it's a boring ass game. I spent the first hour playing chaffeur before tossing it aside. Then I discovered SR3, and any remaining desire to give GTA IV another shot went out the window.
lol. it was 12 bucks for the complete pack i was like fuk it. i had it on day one 360, biggest disappointment ever for me, but im willing to give it another shot with teh graphix.
i bought the complete pack too. ive never played a gta title before.
EDIT: and now im getting this in my library. im assuming its the mac version?
it really messes up my grid view...
