Yes, Origin's "download" speed is not actually measured, but calculated. It says it's a 13 gig install, but it downloads a 4 gig file. So when it downloads 2 gigs, it downloaded 50%, but it reports to you as downloaded 50% of 13 gigs. So your speed is "crazy" fast.

It unpacked (at least the audio did) after I hit install tho. Also, I don't think I've ever downloaded 2GB in a couple of minutes. Not even 1GB.
 
Oh man.

Ikaruga and Strider launching next week.

Then Resident Evil 4 Ultimate Edition the week after.

And South Park Stick of Truth week after next.

I had a dream, after talking to my friends about the possibility last night, where Capcom announces all past and future titles are to be made available on PC but only through their new digital distribution service called Capital Command (I think) and all Steam versions are immediately pulled. I was kinda happy.

Would they at least replace GFWL from their older games?

Ikaruga and Strider when I am in the middle of Bravely Default. I fear i may put that game down and never pick it back up.

I thought interstellar marines was a MP joint, where do land sharks come in?

Morning fellow GAFfers, hope you are all fine. Just had my morning coffee and I had to wish you all a good Monday!

On a side note, is there any currently bundles with copies of Tropico 4 by any chance? I just found out that I think that game have one old dictator from my country, I was surprised by this.

Guten Morgen!
Today's my last work day for my shift, body's cold, had a cuppa but I'm still feelin' down.
Mad hype for Ikaruga and Strider though.

10ish days til Thief gets released, will dedicate my game time to it.
As an added bonus starting to lessen my LoL play time so I'll focus on my Steam gaming for today >=3

Ended up putting 3 hours into starbound today. After initially just planning to boot it up for a short time. Mostly just shot the breeze with someone and exploring the gaf server planet, but man, I could see myself dumping a lot of time into this.
 
Just bought Witcher 1 enhanced edition and Witcher 2 enhanced edition for 2 and 3 dollars each! I had the regular versions from GOG from long ago but it was too good a deal to pass. Must get ready for the third!

I hope Dark Souls 2 works with the Dualshock 4, unlike DS1. I can't get this thing to work, while it works great for every other game.

Hi Steam Gaf.

Can anyone let me know if Rome II is worth it at 50% off (currently $39.97 space bucks)?

I know it had issues at launch and it was roundly criticised but did the issues get sorted and is it playable now?

So I think I'm over the fact that New Tomb Raider is probably not an actual Tomb Raider game.

How is it as an actual game, though?

I'm kinda tempted with that Amazon sale.

And Deus Ex:HR is infuriating. I'm the least sneaky person on the planet in that game.

I thought the same thing, but forced myself to stick to the game and was glad I did. As you start unlocking more skills and learning the game play in general sneaking actually becomes much more fun, but that very first level sneaking really sucks.

It's a serviceable TPS. The Uncharted comparisons are fairly accurate.

Yes, they fixed the majority of the launch issues and the game's pretty solid now. However, it's still inferior to Shogun 2 as it removed or dumbed down a lot of features of the older TW games. If you go for it I'd suggest you to also buy the Caesar in Gaul DLC since it's a tighter experience that re-introduces a lot of things that fans have been asking for like seasons and greater focus on characters

A fun enough and easy romp. The uncharted comparisons are apt, except that it doesn't really have that same fun sort of story to drive you through the later parts.

You will at least get a good half a dozen hours out of it before the fun fades, so it is a decent pickup.
