The online check is not DRM though, I tested it while I was completely offline and it allowed me to play the game without any issues.
After playing Rising, I would love to see Platinum take a crack at an Action-RPG.
To be honest, my grand plan is to just install Win7, disable anything that may cause Windows to partake in an impromptu restart, and leave the system running 24/7, with network connectivity achieved via EOP. Not the most elegant solution but it's firmly within "That'll do" territory.
I'd planned to repurpose the PC my brother left behind when he moved up north, as the only incurred costs then would have been for the HDDs, but my parents binned it before I could get my hands on it.There may be an indie sale next month but that's it.

ORION: Dino Horde for $0.99. Should?

A Platinum developed aRPG certainly wouldn't be boring.
All right, going to wait then. Maybe it'll end up in a DD.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

If you're going the Windows route, you might as well get Windows Home Server or Windows 2012 Server Essentials. The "storage pools" let you add multiple disks of various sizes to one giant storage pool that is represented as a single disk on the server. And when you're ready to upgrade, it's easy to retire an existing disk (as long as you have enough free space) and replace it with a bigger one.
I've been doing this for years, slowly building up from having 4x1TB disks in 2008 to the 8x3TB disks I have now.
That would be amazing. I am not much of a story guy...much more about combat feel and gameplay. Platinum at the helm of an arpg seems like a goty on paper.
Nah, it's biggest problem is the bugs. Colonial America would've worked it it wasn't the numerous Anvil Next bugs.
Also those discounts: Ubi plz. ;___; So awful.
Freedom = $1.05

Bought asscreed brohood and ac3 with my card funds. I only need part 1 now to complete the collection but I'm in no rush to pick it up. also, I'm looking forward to seeing how terrible ac3 is.
Ah, good idea. Before I switched from Comp Sci to Screen Production I jumped on MSDNAA and took note of the Windows keys that had been applied to my account; I'm pretty sure I have a few 2008 R2 keys.
Oh man, I'm slowly replacing my 6 2TB drives to 3TB's and this is the first time I've heard of "storage pools". Wonder how much Windows Home Server costs? Any disadvantages to pooling?

Anyone know if you can force 1080p in the nvidia control panel? Or is that only for stuff like AA,etc?
That's one good looking game
Really nice looking car

The last few levels of Chaos Theory are surprisingly tough! Save scumming is the only way I can make any progress and it feels bad.
It's interesting playing the game after Blacklist and seeing just how tonally different they are. After Blacklist's ultra violent torture scenes, it's jarring seeing interrogations played for laughs. ("Are you gonna say monkey?") The soundtrack is also very unique, it's sad they dropped that style in later games.
This made me laugh. A lot.

If you're just now getting into it, I'd recommend Server 2012 Essentials, and skipping the now-dead Windows Home Server. Home Server 2011 (the "newest" Home Server product) dropped storage pools completely.
It's also nice because it can automatically back up all of your PCs nightly.
Anyway, don't want to muck up the Steam thread with Windows Server talk, but I've updated my MCSE to 2012 recently and I'm happy to answer anyone's questions via PM.
Aww yeah...
So jelly...
Didn't have time to buy a LCD with pivot, and playing 3:4 games that take 1/3 of your screen estate is painful...
GOTY
That is why Ironside actually left the project. He did an interview where he said the game just went for pure, boring, AAA action hero and had no depth to the character or game.

Probably not. On release it was one of the worst games on Steam [see the Metacritic score]. Since then it has apparently been patched into something somewhat playable, but you're better off just playing Killing Floor since it's pretty much an identical concept done far better.
I think it would be something like Okami and I'd be ok with that
I don't really want stats and gears in an action game from PG though, I hate how often those elements mess up the difficulty balance of the game

God dam, and i thought asseto corsa looked amazing.
Just buy an Ergotron Swing Arm for your current LCD monitor. You can position them anywhere for any occasion...

But does it have DINOSAURS?

To be fair, Fisher's shtick in the game is basically the Bruce Willis "I'm too old for this" thing, but Ironside does add a touch of class.
It's only available to backers at the moment.

That depends on whether you actually want to play the game or not
Do any of the GMG coupons work with Castlevania LoS2? Otherwise is $53 the cheapest price?

Is that going to be F2p?
Nah. It wasn't until recently that I discovered backers will receive a share of the profits gained throughout the game's first two years of post-release sales -- if I'd known this earlier I would've parted with some change myself.

World of Speed is their F2P game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HwqIPXTk8
Their website was so confusing to me. I wanted in, but always gave up after a few minutes.

Obviously Ubi is herding people to Steam as it begins to dismantle Uplay. Tintin for all!
It's actually a prime example of how thickly layered a company like Ubi is -- there's really no reason why Ubi couldn't just match the prices it set on Steam, but for that to happen Employee A has to raise it with a manager, who has to raise it with his manager, who has to raise it with his manager, who has to raise it with Yves Guillemot, who has to gain the approval of a circus bear by performing a variety of acrobatic feats. This is why I don't hold much hope of my request for a Paths to a Kingdom Steam key being obliged.

So... I had to quit the steam client because it was always starting automatically Aliens Colonial Marines.
Yes, that actually happened.

Do you think they will somehow offer Steam keys of games? I have all the AC series, FC3, Prince of Persia and some random things in there, I'd hate to lose it all.

This free weekend of CoD ghosts makes me really happy I didn't play it on release or get it later. I just don't have the time to become proficient at these types of games to enjoy myself anymore. Particularly when I am not good at console controls and go 360 controller.
